07:38
lie and followed by this if someone is lying  it means that person is not a good person  
47

10880
07:48
right so we could say that is a bad person  but instead of saying he's a bad person
48
468920
10400
08:01
we can use different  expressions like he's a [ __ ]
49
481400
5600
08:07

9280
08:46
expression then we need to know how to  describe those facial expressions am I

55
536920
9520
09:06
happy but that's too basic instead of  that you better say she was baming it  
56
546440
10800
09:17
means she had a big radiant smile  or she was smiling from ear to
57
