How to describe unknown objects in English

Hello, people.

As much as you can try,

it is impossible to learn every single vocabulary

word in English.

So rather than stress yourself out trying

to achieve the impossible,

it’s much more advisable to learn phrases

that will help you describe unknown objects.

And that’s the topic of today’s video.

In today’s video, you’re going to see six people,

Jimmy and Dane, Bruce and Liam,

and Jess and Tessa.

And what’s going to happen is

that they’re going to describe four very

different objects to each other,

a cricket bat, a USB stick,

a rake and a hammer.

Then, I’m going to pick out all

of the useful bits of language for you people.

And don’t forget to listen out for the answer to today’s

Greg’s Challenge,

with the question,

what type of wood is a cricket bat made of?

When you hear it, comment below.

Without further ado, here’s today’s video.

Tess and Jess,

Jimmy and Dane, Bruce and Liam, what’s going to happen is

that I’m going to give one of you a card.

On that card will be an object.

Simply, you must describe

that object and then the other person must guess.

Do you understand?

Yes.

Yes, of course we do.

Yes, we do, yes.

Thank you.

You ready?

Yes, all good.

Go for it.

You usually find it on a quintessential summer’s

day in glorious England.

Ah, yes.

It’s found in a garden shed and…

So you usually find this near your computer, again.

You usually find this in a tool bag.

Yes.

It’s usually made from wood or metal,

but you can get them made of fibreglass handles

because they’re a lot lighter.

It’s made from plastic and metal.

It’s made from beautiful English Willow.

It’s made from wood and metal.

This thing is small

and you can… It’s around the size of your finger.

It’s about the size of a ruler, so it’s about 30 cm.

It’s around about the size of a lighter actually.

It’s similar to a hatchet or a small axe.

Yes?

It’s a bit similar to a broom, like a brush.

It’s similar to a hockey stick.

And it’s similar to other tools.

Hopefully that doesn’t give it away.

You would use it to transfer files

from one computer to another.

Is this a USB stick?

That’s correct.

All right.

And you use it to hit things.

A cricket bat.

There you go.

Oh, okay.

And you use it for hitting nails and things.

Is it a hammer?

It is a hammer.

Well done.

There we go.

Brooms are used to clear stuff up,

and so is this.

Is it a rake?

Yes.

So there you go,

some really useful language for you people for next time

you don’t know a vocabulary word in English.
