in English because you're learning so many different skills at the same time.

And that's

exactly what we're.

Going to do today.

We're going to read an interesting article together.

And you're.

Going to learn a lot.

Of new vocabulary.

Grammar and even pronunciation.

Welcome.

Back to JForrest English of.

Course I'm Jennifer now.

Let's get started.

1st I'll read.

The headline.

What's all the hype?

About green coffee.

Let's talk about this.

Word the hype.

You might be wondering what this is.

Hype is a noun, and it is to repeatedly.

Advertise or discuss something.

In a way.

That creates a lot of.

Positive expectation.

So let's look at this.

Example here there's.

So much.

Hype about.

The new James Bond movie.

Notice you can have.

Hype.

Hype about.

Something.

Like this article?

Hype about.

Green coffee.

You can also use.

The preposition surrounding the hype surrounding the new James Bond movie?

They're the exact same.

So if there's a.

Lot of hype about.

The new James Bond movie.

It means everywhere.

You look, you see an advertisement for the new movie.

Or people are.

Discussing it?

Oh, I can't.

Wait to see the new movie.

I heard the new movie's really great.

I'm so excited.

I'm looking forward to it and it creates.

This positive expectation, so.

Apparently that's what's happening.

Now with green coffee.

So if I hear.

What's all the hype about?

Green coffee, it sounds to me like.

A lot of people.

Are talking about how amazing green coffee is.

If you go into coffee.

Shops or stores?

They're selling and advertising the green coffee.

That's the hype.

Now, don't.

Worry about taking down all these notes because I summarize everything in a free lesson PDF.

So you can.

Look in the description for the link.

Let's continue and find out what.

The hype's all about.

Green coffee beans are coming back stronger than a 90s trend.

Now.

A.

Trend is.

Something that is popular, extremely popular.

For a specific.

Period of time.

So think back.

To the 90s if you can, and think.

About.

What were the?

Hairstyles the.

Clothing styles What were the trends in the 90s?

Now.

This article is.

Suggesting that 90s trends.

Are.

Coming back?

Coming back?

This is of.

Course another way of saying returning so now.

You.

See hairstyles.

From the 90s.

Or.

Clothing from the 90s right now.

Have you noticed that and they're?

Saying that, green coffee beans are coming back stronger than a 90s trend, so they're

even more popular than 90s.

Trends which are.

Also apparently returning.

But it also sounds like in the past.

Green coffee beans were popular.

Maybe they were.

Trendy A trend?

Then?

They weren't popular.

And now because.

They're coming back.

It means they're returning to popularity.

Let's continue.

You might wonder why you keep seeing.

Green coffee beans or raw coffee beans everywhere and what it means?

What about you?

Have you?

Seen green coffee beans everywhere?

I personally haven't, but maybe now I will start seeing them everywhere.

Let's take a look here you.

Might wonder.

You can also.

Say you might be wondering.

You might be wondering.

And both of.

Them are grammatically.

Correct.

So if you say, you might be wondering.

The emphasis is on.

Right now, right now, you might be wondering.

You might wonder why this sounds like.

More in general, but ultimately.

They are.

Both grammatically correct.

Personally, I.

Would use this.

One in this context, because I feel like the emphasis should be on right now, because it's

not in general, you wonder.

This is.

Right now, as you're reading this.

Article, but just.

Remember that?

That's.

Just a personal preference.

Both of them.

Are grammatically correct and it's.

Just.

How you?

Want the person to interpret.

It.

Let's continue.

Wait.

Are.

People really drinking raw.

Unroasted coffee beans.

Yes.

And even better, this unroasted.

Coffee beverage is.

Easy to make.

At home, OK.

Let's start, stop here.

Let's.

Talk about this phrase.

Even.

Better this is.

Used.

When you want.

To emphasize.

That what?

Comes next.

Is better than what was previously said, although they're both good.

So this is a great way to really.

Emphasize.

Something because you?

Have one positive thing, then you say even better, and then you list another positive

thing.

And you're putting.

More emphasis on the second positive thing, for example.

The promotion comes.

With a raise.

That's positive.

And even better.

I can work from home.

So this tells.

The person that you actually value working from home.

More so than.

A raise which means more money.

Maybe because you have.

Young children at home and it's.

Way easier for you to.

Work from home and that is.

A better.

Scenario than just getting a little bit more money.

So.

And even better, the end is optional.

You can say and even better or just even better and even better this unroasted coffee.

Beverage is easy.

To make at home.

Now let's continue with our lesson.

And even better, this unroasted coffee.

Beverage is easy.

To make at home and comes with.

Loads of health.

Benefits loads of.

Loads is another.

Way of saying a lot of or many health benefits.

Just be careful with that of because.

If you use.

Many.

You don't need of, but a lot.

Of loads of I have.

Loads of emails to read for example.

The only thing better?

Than a new trend.

Is a new.

Trend.

That is good.

For your body.

So they're saying.

It's.

Positive that we.

Have a new trend and it's even better, it's even better to use this again.

So the second point.

Is, is.

Stronger and it's.

Even better that the new.

Trend is.

Good for your body.

Green coffee beans.

Are regular coffee.

Beans that have not been roasted.

So here you.

Finally, learn what green coffee beans are have not been roasted.

So you could also say.

That have not been.

Roasted or you can say.

That are unroasted are unroasted.

You could also say RAW are regular.

Coffee beans that are raw are unroasted that have not been roasted.

They taste like.

A mix between herbal tea and coffee.

So if you have a mix.

Between it means.

Some of the.

Taste is herbal tea.

And some of the.

Taste is coffee that would be.

A mix between and.

They're using between.

Because they're specifying the two items.

Let's continue now.

We come to the benefits.

The loads.

Of health benefits, chronic inflammation is a key factor in arthritis, cancer, diabetes

and autoimmune diseases.

First, let's talk about a.

Key factor here key means important.

Now factor is a.

Factor a situation that has influence.

So here.

The factor is chronic inflammation.

Chronic.

When describing a.

Health condition.

A health problem Chronic means that it continues for a long time.

So inflammation, not just temporarily.

It's.

Chronic inflammation?

It's.

Always.

There and it.

Was there years ago and.

Most likely it's going to be there years in the future.

As well, that's.

Chronic, chronic inflammation is a key factor in and then the specific health conditions.

Arthritis.

Cancer, diabetes and autoimmune diseases treating inflammation.

So notice you.

Treat an illness.

If you treat.

An illness it means you want.

To reduce.

It you want to improve?

The health of the.

Person by reducing the the illness or the symptoms that's treating the symptoms.

Treating inflammation can prevent and treat life threatening diseases.

And makes.

For a more comfortable.

Quality of life.

Let's talk about this verb right here and makes.

For a more comfortable.

Quality of life.

Why do you think that?

This verb has.

An S on it, Do you know?

Why does this?

Verb Have an S on it.

It's because when.

You have this and you need.

To go.

Back.

Because the subject of the sentence is how you would.

Conjugate.

The verb.

That comes after and.

So this verb.

That comes after and relates back to treating inflammation.

So this treating inflammation.

This is.

The subject.

Of the sentence.

Because this is our first.

Verb.

Now can.

Is a modal.

Verb.

So you don't conjugate it.

That's why there's not cans, Because you don't conjugate it.

It's a modal.

Verb but.

Treating inflammation makes for a more comfortable.

Quality of life.

That alone is a complete sentence.

So this.

Treating inflammation.

This as a.

Subject is.

It it makes for a more comfortable.

Quality of life.

I made those notes for you.

Now let's continue raw unroasted.

Coffee beans, so.

Here we see the RAW.

Coffee beans.

Unroasted coffee beans.

Those are.

The green beans.

Raw, unroasted coffee beans.

Have both.

Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.

Notice how you say.

The word anti.

And then you say the next word.

So oxidant, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory.

Properties.

That can benefit.

Our bodies.

In the long and short term.

So long term, there is no.

Set definition for what length of time that?

Is.

But maybe.

That could be.

Six months, One year.

But it could.

Also be 5.

Years or 10 years or 20 years?

So it can.

Be.

In the near.

Future or in?

The later future and short term.

There's also no.

Specific time for that it could be one week, one month, six months, one year.

It just depends.

On the context.

So let's look at.

This sentence what?

Are your short.

Term.

And long term.

Goals.

Very common question.

Now in this case, short term.

Is an adjective.

And that's why you.

See it with.

This dash.

It describes what?

The goal?

Is it gives more information?

So when I.

Hear a short term goal, goal I think about right now.

I want this to happen now, tomorrow, next week.

And maybe.

Up to a year.

But you could.

Have a different definition of a short term goal.

And when I hear long term goal, I think maybe in five years or in 10 years it could even

be longer.

But again, you might have a slightly different definition because they're not specific.

But notice here.

In the long term?

In the short term.

This is a.

Phrase, and that's why you don't see the dashes between.

This is just a spelling issue.

There's nothing different with pronunciation, but because this is an adjective.

That's why you see it with.

The dash.

So that's in the long and short term and it's very.

Common to discuss.

Both.

Long term and short term, with your health and also with things like goals and priorities.

So those are the.

Health benefits.

Now you're probably wondering, how can you make?

Green.

Coffee.

So let's.

Look at the directions.

Gently rinse 1 cup of green coffee beans, then place in a pot.

Now notice for directions.

What?

Well, I'll ask you.

Before I tell.

You.

What verb tense?

Is being used here.

Gently is not a verb.

Tense gently is an adverb, so we can ignore the word gently.

And we can.

Look at the verb and what verb tense is.

Being used.

And why?

It's the imperative.

The imperative.

Verb.

Tense is the verb tense.

We use with.

Directions.

Now you need.

To know that for the imperative you don't have a subject and you.

Use the base verb.

So in this first.

Step you have.

Two verbs, both.

In the imperative.

Rinse 1 cup.

Of green coffee beans.

Gently, gently rinse.

Place in a pot.

Place in a pot.

OK.

So we have our 1 cup.

Of.

Rinsed green coffee beans in a pot.

Pour.

This is our verb pour.

In the imperative.

Pour 3 cups.

Of water over the unroasted coffee.

Beans and bring.

To a boil this.

Is our verb.

In the imperative, bring to a boil when you.

Bring something.

To a boil, it means it's.

Once.

It starts boiling.

That is the.

Point.

At.

Which you brought it to a boil.

So the point.

When when it starts boiling, that's bring it.

To a boil.

Simmer this is.

Our next?

Verb The verb to.

Simmer for 12.

Minutes.

Over medium heat.

When you simmer something.

It means you.

Cook it.

At a lower temperature, so you bring it to.

A.

Boil it.

Starts boiling and then you immediately turn the heat down.

You turn it down to medium and you let it simmer, so you just let.

It cook for.

12 minutes.

At a lower.

Temperature.

Pour again.

Pour the verb.

In the imperative.

Pour the liquid so the liquid because here you have the.

Water and the coffee beans.

So just.

Pour the liquid.

Into.

A cup.

And drink immediately.

So pour the.

Liquid into a cup and so drink.

Immediately.

This is our.

Other verb in this sentence That's in the imperative and drink.

Immediately, I guess.

Immediately because they don't want it.

To.

They don't want you to drink it.

Cold.

That's probably why they said.

Immediately so now.

You have.

The directions very simple to make green coffee.

So.

You can give.

It a shot.

Give it a shot.

Give it a shot.

This is a.

Great expression.

It means.

Try it so.

Remember, I said.

So now you have the.

Instructions you can try it you.

Can give it.

A shot.

So put this in the comments, give it a shot, give it a shot and you can let me know also

if you are.

Going to give it a shot, so put.

That in the comments.

Give it a shot.

So that is.

The article.

So what I'll?

Do now.

Is.

I'll read.

The article.

From start.

To finish.

And this time, focus.

On my pronunciation.

Let's do that now.

Once all the hype about.

Green coffee.

Green coffee.

Beans are.

Coming back stronger.

Than a 90s trend.

You might wonder.

Why you?

Keep seeing green.

Coffee beans.

Or raw coffee.

Beans everywhere and what it means?

Wait, are people really drinking raw, unroasted coffee beans?

Yes.

And even better, this unroasted.

Coffee beverage is easy.

To make at home and comes with.

Loads of health.

Benefits.

The only thing better than a new trend is a new trend.

That is good for your body.

Green coffee.

Beans are regular coffee beans that have not been roasted.

They taste like a mix between.

Herbal tea and coffee.

Chronic.

Inflammation is a key factor in arthritis, cancer, diabetes and autoimmune diseases.

Treating inflammation can prevent and treat life threatening diseases.

And makes for a more.

Comfortable.

Quality of life.

Raw unroasted coffee.

Beans have both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.

Properties.

That can benefit our bodies in the long and short term directions.

Gently rinse 1.

Cup of green.

Coffee beans then place in a pot.

Pour 3.

Cups of water.

Over the unroasted coffee beans and bring to a boil.

Simmer for 12.

Minutes over medium heat.

Pour the liquid.

Into a cup and drink immediately.

Now I have.

Green coffee.

Beans right here, because my husband.

Roasts his own.

Coffee.

So here's some of.

The coffee.

That my husband.

Roasted so how?

About I.

Follow the directions and make a cup of green coffee for.

The.

Very first.

Time as.

You can see.

I just.

Brought the water to A.

Boil now I'm going to reduce the.

Heat and let it simmer for.

12 minutes.

And here is the.

Green coffee.

This is the.

Very first time.

I'm going to drink this and honestly.

I'm not really.

Looking.

Forward to it.

Because it did not smell very good when I was making it, but here it.

Goes.

Oh.

Oh my, that is not good.

Oh my goodness.

I don't want to have enough SIP of.

That it's.

Really.

Strong, extremely strong.

It definitely does.

Have a.

Herbal taste to it, so I see.

The mix between.

Herbal tea and coffee.

But that's.

Not very pleasant.

You can try it for yourself.

But I don't think I'm going to drink anymore green coffee.
