Practice English Conversation (Family life - My grandfather's tips) Improve English Speaking Skills

Estevan I'm happy you're here you  haven't come to visit me for a long time

yeah hello grandpa I was so busy that's why  I couldn't come before but I just came for

don't worry I know you're busy  with your studies that's okay son

but you look angry why is  that do you have any problem

I'm not angry it's just that I  came here because my father sent me

he sent me here to pick up some things  he asked you for I don't know what

oh yeah I told him I was gonna lend  him my old suit he says he needs it

but it's very early and you have just arrived  why don't we have a cup of coffee first

no grandpa thank you but I'm very busy  I have to go home to do some homework

come on we will have fun I have  a lot of things to tell you

you are a teenager now you will need  your grandfather's advice my grandson

Grandpa do not take me wrong but I don't  think I need your advice you are old

maybe you knew a lot about life in the past  but times change and everything's different now

if I have a question I can search it online  or I can ask my friends they are my age

you're wrong maybe I am old  but I know a lot about life  

I can help you help me how I don't  have any problems you can't help me

for example did you know you have to  take care of your body that's important

yeah I know that I try to eat healthy  but that's not necessary I am still young

you're young now but you have to think about  the future exercise practice proper hygiene

our skin care routine that helps a  lot you didn't know that am I right

have a skin care routine you're  kidding right that's for girls

no it's not it's important and you  will thank me in the future I promise

you are a handsome boy so you want to  be a handsome adult too right then do it

that sounds interesting what else I want to know

drink a ton of water water is probably  the most important food in your day

drinking plenty of water every day can help  you prevent many diseases don't forget that

I don't usually drink water but I will start  now my friends drink a lot of soda every day

and about your friends please don't  care about what others think of you

this is definitely the best advice for teenagers  who feel like they need to impress the world

the truth is nobody cares either so why  would you laugh when you embarrass yourself

dress how you want to dress be  honest about things you don't like

not only does this help you  become more of yourself but  

you'll also make friends with the right people

easier said than don't I get it the point is  that you should at least try to be yourself

more and more every day until  you feel like nothing is in  

your way when you don't need anyone else's opinion

you'll never feel judged or obligated to be  different for other people that's important

what else oh get uncomfortable if everything  made us comfortable with never move

we would never work hard or try  to push boundaries seriously

some of the best moments in your  life will be when you seek discomfort

and put yourself in a position to try new things  

great way to start with this  is by accepting opportunities  

that come your way and by actively seeking  those opportunities whether it's related to work

making friends trying new hobbies or exercising  you'll always have a way to get uncomfortable

oh and this is really really important  son make good friends not more friends

don't get me wrong building a network of friends  at the school is always going to be valuable

whether they are the greatest people or  not the main advice here is spend more time

trying to develop and grow those relationships  that you think will be good for you

you are who your friends are you're likely going  to be the sum of the people you are closest to

for example if your closest friends like to  make bad decisions and slack off in school

there is a high chance that you will too  the same goes for the other way around

so surround yourself with a strong group  of people who genuinely care about you

try to understand both sides nowadays it's  very easy to be one-sided about things  

because we believe in a small portion of an  idea which makes us believe the whole thing

anytime you have a strong belief about something  

actively seek to agree with  something on the other side

this helped me growth immensely in my teen  years when two of your friends are arguing

try to see where both are wrong and where both  are right put yourself in the other person's shoes

and try to understand where people are coming from  this is seriously a superpower to have these days

learn about Finance early money should be your  friend throughout your life not your enemy

sadly the education system doesn't do such  a great job at teaching you about Finance

so you have to learn it on your own  using resources like YouTube and Google

are super easy ways to learn about money  in a very simple way do you know why

the better you are with money as a teenager  the better off you're going to be in the future

and I could tell you many more tips or advice  but I know you're in a hurry I will go for the  

suit for your father no no I have plenty  of time please tell me more about that

I want a cup of chocolate please  Grandpa I can do my homework later

fantastic then I will tell you more about life if  you also want it like the video and let me know
