In this English quick tip I'd like to talk with you about the idea of a good deed English

day.
6
15690
1000
00:16
A lot of the time we focus on how English can benefit you.
7
16690
6560
00:23
You can make more money; have a better position; have an international career; meet new people;
8
23250
6750
00:30
be able to communicate with people from all over the world; enjoy travel; enjoy access
9
30000
7430
00:37
to knowledge and information; and the list goes on.
10

00:40
Obviously English is a very powerful tool for you and your success.
11

00:47
But wait just a minute.
12
47160
2470
00:49
It's not all about you.
13
49630
3280
00:52
English can actually be a tool to make the world a better place.
14
52910
3860
00:56
And that's what I want to encourage us to think about today -- with a good deed English
15
56770
7740
01:04
day.
16
64510
1000
01:05
So, today, after you watch this episode, I'd like you to do a good deed involving English.
17
65510
8560
01:14
What is a good deed?
18
74070
1060
01:15
Well, a good deed is when you volunteer to help someone.
19
75130
5040
01:20
You do something where you go out of your way -- something you didn't have to do, you
20
80170
6330
01:26
didn't need to do, but you did it because you want to help people.
21
86500
4140
01:30
You want to be a good person, and you want to make the world a better place.
22
90640
4250
01:34
So, a good deed doesn't have to be big.
23
94890
3519
01:38
You don't have to make world peace.
24
98409
2621
01:41
A good deed is something small.
25
101030
2360
01:43
Maybe you could say "Good morning" to someone, especially if you live in an English-speaking
26
103390
5269
01:48
country.
27
108659
1691
01:50
Use your English to greet someone, and smile, and make that person's day a better day.
28
110350
7540
01:57
If you don't live in an English-speaking country, you can certainly still do a good deed in
29
117890
6159
02:04
English.
30
124049
1000
02:05
You could someone a message on social media or by email in English.
31
125049
4261
02:09
Perhaps you know an English speaker, or you could communicate with the Go Natural English
32
129310
4980
02:14
community at facebook.com/gonaturalenglish or on Twitter at gonaturaleng, and help us
33
134290
9110
02:23
out (glitch on recording here) on the page or tweet a positive message to someone who
34
143400
8890
02:32
you know who is also learning, or who speaks English.
35
152290
5200
02:37
How can you use your English to help people?
36
157490
2690
02:40
Perhaps if you see someone who looks a little bit lost like I was today in the train station
37
160180
5669
02:45
here in Tokyo.
38
165849
1000
02:46
A very nice man came up to me and he said, "How shall I help you?" which is very proper
39
166849
8000
02:54
English -- not very common actually.
40
174849
2701
02:57
I would suggest saying, "How can I help you?" or "May I help you?"
41
177550
5850
03:03
You could help someone if you see them lost or perhaps if you see someone trying to find
42
183400
6950
03:10
their way using a map, or maybe they need some kind of help from you.
43
190350
5400
03:15
It could be a different situation depending on your daily situations or where you live.
44
195750
6090
03:21
So, think about how could you use English to do a good deed today?
45
201840
4690
03:26
Could you pay a compliment?
46
206530
1580
03:28
Could you help someone with information?
47
208110
2570
03:30
Could you even do something more like offer your help with a bigger project or maybe write
48
210680
6880
03:37
a longer post on social media, or even a blog post if you have your own website?
49
217560
5800
03:43
Could you send a letter or a longer email to someone who you care about in English?
50
223360
5540
03:48
Or maybe, if you can't think of anyone who you'd like to send an English message to,
51
228900
4410
03:53
send it to me at gonaturalenglish.com/contact and I'd love to hear from you.
52
233310
6100
03:59
Maybe you have a question about English that you'd like to help the Go Natural English
53
239410
3930

247700

04:11

57
253500

04:18
through English.
