So this week this box came and I think some of you might know what this is.
1
2120
7070
00:09
I've been waiting for this for a little bit.
2
9190
2980
00:12
It's from YouTube.
3
12170
2100
00:14
You can't see because it has a sticker there, but it's from YouTube, and I'm going to show
4
14270
6200
00:20
you guys what's inside.
5
20470
1969
00:22
I'm going to open up this box.
6
22439
4231
00:26
And there are a few things in here, I hope they don't blow away.
7

00:31
There is a little note that says this was packed by Rick.
8
31310
4839
00:36
Thanks Rick.
9
36149
1000
00:37
And there is a letter from YouTube saying that they are happy that I have passed 100,000
10
37149
8701
00:45
subscribers.
11
45850
1540
00:47
And then inside, in this plastic bag here, is a nice little memento of the occasion.
12
47390
10189
00:57
So this is a nice plaque that I can put on the wall.
13
57579
6120
01:03
And hopefully you can see it.
14
63699
2361
01:06
It says "Presented to Learn English with Bob the Canadian for passing 100,000 subscribers,"
15
66060
8669
01:14
and it's from YouTube.
16
74729
1820
01:16
So I'm just super happy that I have this in my possession now.
17
76549
4631
01:21
It's kind of fun to be rewarded for doing a lot of good work.
18
81180
5400
01:26
Do you want to see it one more time?
19
86580
1880
01:28
Yeah, let's hold it up.
20
88460
1060
01:29
You can see it one more time.
21
89520
2959
01:32
But what I really wanted to do was teach you a little bit of English.
22
92479
4921
01:37
So hopefully you keep watching because I thought I should teach you five ways to say thank
23
97400
6691
01:44
you and I should teach you five ways to congratulate someone.
24
104091
5149
01:49
And you might think, why would Bob the Canadian want to teach us how to say thank you?
25
109240
6669
01:55
And I think the reason is because I want to thank you.
26
115909
5060
02:00
If I didn't have all of you, if I didn't have so many people who clicked on that little
27
120969
7150
02:08
red button down there to become a subscriber to my channel, I wouldn't have this beautiful
28
128119
7001
02:15
reward.
29
135120
1330
02:16
So I want to first of all say thank you.
30
136450
2560
02:19
That's the first way to thank someone.
31
139010
2400
02:21
And it's just two words, thank you.
32
141410
3200
02:24
But thank you so much for clicking that little button.
33
144610
3180
02:27
A second way to say thank you to someone is shorter, you can just say thanks.
34
147790
5750
02:33
So I want to say thanks, not just for clicking the button, but thanks for clicking like once
35
153540
6279
02:39
in a while.
36
159819
1000
02:40
That helps too.
37
160819
1471
02:42
So we have thank you and we have thanks.
38
162290
2199
02:44
A third way is to say thanks a lot.
39
164489
4011
02:48
So thanks a lot for continuing to watch my videos.
40
168500
4180
02:52
I just think that's awesome as well.
41
172680
2770
02:55
There is no way I would've gotten to 100,000 subscribers ... Sorry I have to take this
42
175450
6259
03:01
out again.
43
181709
1441
03:03
There's no way I would have gotten to 100,000 subscribers if you guys didn't do that, so
44
183150
8140
03:11
thanks a lot.
45
191290
1120
03:12
A fourth way to thank someone is to just say thanks so much.
46
192410
3889
03:16
So thanks so much for watching and for sharing my videos.
47
196299
5720
03:22
That's awesome.
48
202019
1000
03:23
Thanks so much.
49
203019
1000
03:24
So that's four ways to say thank you.
50
204019
1921
03:25
I think we need a last one.
51
205940
1240
03:27
We should do.
52
207180
1100
03:28
Thank you very much.
53
208280
1080
03:29
So thank you very much for doing that.
54
209360
3560
03:32
Thanks.
55
212920
1000
03:33
Thank you very much for taking the time to just be one of my subscribers.
56
213920
4090
03:38
But now I should also teach you five ways to congratulate someone.
57
218010
5260
03:43
I'm not saying you need to congratulate me.
58
223270
3150
03:46
I'm just saying that when someone accomplishes something, it can be nice to congratulate
59
226420
6480
03:52
them.
60
232900
1000
03:53
So the first way that you can congratulate someone is to just say, congratulations.
61
233900
6100
04:00
Let's say someone has graduated from school, someone has done something in their life that's
62
240000
6909
04:06
a big accomplishment, maybe they got a new job, or maybe, maybe, they got a plaque from
63
246909
5521
04:12
YouTube, you could just say, congratulations.
64
252430
3430
04:15
That's a great way to do it.
65
255860
2180
04:18
Another thing that you could say to someone, which is a little more informal is to say,
66
258040
5500
04:23
that's so cool.
67
263540
1380
04:24
You could say, congratulations on your graduation from school.
68
264920
4510
04:29
That's so cool that you finished four years and now you're a teacher, or a doctor, or
69
269430
6860
04:36
something like that.
70
276290
1020
04:37
So you could say that's so cool, a little more informal.
71
277310
3970
04:41
Probably a little more informal than that, here's a third way is to just say way to go.
72
281280
5280
04:46
So you could say, "Way to go, Bob the Canadian.
73
286560
4150
04:50
Awesome work.
74
290710
1000
04:51
Way to go.
75
291710
1000
04:52
We're so, so happy that you got this 100,000 subscriber plaque."
76
292710
4790
04:57
It's very, very fun.
77
297500
1970
04:59
Another thing you could say a little bit informal as well.
78
299470
2810
05:02
A lot of my methods of congratulating people are somewhat informal, is to simply say, that's
79
302280
6221
05:08
awesome.
80
308501
1000
05:09
So you can say, "Hey, that's awesome.
81
309501
3019
05:12
It's really, really cool.
82
312520
1390
05:13
That's awesome that you accomplished that.
83
313910
3290
05:17
So very cool."
84
317200
1580
05:18
And then the last thing, this is a little more formal, and it's usually more from a
85
318780
4770
05:23
parent to a son or daughter or from a teacher to a student where you would say, "I'm so
86
323550
5610
05:29
proud of you."
87
329160
1170
05:30
When you feel proud of someone you just think..., you feel really good thoughts about them.
88
330330
7020
05:37
You have pride in the fact that they accomplished something.
89
337350
3900
05:41
So a fifth way that you could congratulate someone, if you know them well, is that you
90
341250
5420
05:46
could say I'm proud of you.
91
346670
2160
05:48
So anyways, thanks again so much for helping me get this.
92
348830
5010
05:53
I'm going to display this proudly by the computer where I edit the videos and I'm going to look
93
353840
7490
06:01
at it and think of you guys a lot whenever I'm making videos because this is really more
94
361330
5910
06:07
about you than it is about me.
95
367240
2890
06:10
I think that's it.
96
370130
1040
06:11
But if you want to stick around, there might be just a little short video with some kittens
97
371170
6300
06:17
in it.
98
377470
1000
06:18
As you can tell, we have kittens on the farm right now and I'm trying to make a video,
99
378470
7060
06:25
but the kittens, they would really like to be in the video.
100
385530
10160
06:35
I think the kitten is biting my ear right now.
101
395690
3410
06:39
Anyways, Bob the Canadian here, thank you so much for watching all my videos.
102
399100
4280
06:43
I hope you have a great day.
103
403380
1760
06:45
And there will be a new video out on Tuesday and we're going to go back to our regular
104
405140
3760
06:48
schedule starting next Tuesday, Friday, Saturday.
105
408900
3060
06:51
It's going to be great.
106
411960
1060
06:53
Thank you so much for learning English with me.
107
413020
1630
06:54
Have a great day.
