Today, we start with EQUATION.  Equation. A noun, in Mathematics,  
8
51440
7840
00:59
a statement that two expressions are equal. He's  starting to work out simple equations in school.  
9
59280
5280
01:05
It also means a complicated situation or issue.  And as we look at our real-life examples, we're  
10
65920
6160
01:12
going to see more of this use of equation. These  sentences have to do with complicated situations  
11
72080
6240
01:18
or issues, and sometimes with solving them.  Let's look again up close and in slow motion. 
12
78320
6761
01:34
And now we'll go to Youglish for five examples. So lifelong learning is I think a very,  
13
94960
5280
01:40
very important piece of the equation. Here, they're talking about a job  
14
100240
3840
01:44
crisis and what can be done in society to  keep as many people employed as possible.  
15
104080
5680
01:50
He's talking about this complicated issue, so in  this case, we're not talking about Math, but life.  
16
110320
5530
01:56
And he thinks lifelong learning, being willing  to learn new things when people lose their job,  
17
116240
5360
02:01
or their jobs no longer exist, is an  important part of solving that crisis. 
18
121600
5116
02:06
So lifelong learning is I think a very,  very important piece of the equation. 
19
126960
4320
02:11
Here's another example. So it really just changes  
20
131280
2720
02:14
the whole equation, you know? It changes the whole equation.  
21
134000
3280
02:18
Here, he's talking about corporate  income tax, and the problems with it,  
22
138000
4240
02:22
and how changing the laws in the  US can change the whole equation.  
23
142240
4240
02:26
The whole complicated situation of companies  booking their profits into low-tax countries.  
24
146480
6007
02:32
Again, we're not working out a Math problem, we're  looking at a complicated issue and discussing how  
25
152800
5680
02:38
changing pieces can change the whole equation. So it really just changes the whole  
26
158480
4560
02:43
equation, you know? Here's another example. 
27
163040
2960
02:46
It's only one piece of the whole equation. Just one piece of the whole equation.  
28
166000
4720
02:50
Just one part of a bigger, complicated issue.  It's only one piece of the whole equation. 
29
170720
5600
02:56
Another example. It's because I’m seeing  
30
176320
2480
02:58
an equation and they're dealing with exponents and  that 30 percent that I didn't know is showing up. 
31
178800
5440
03:04
Here, Sal Khan is talking about Math. He's talking  about the student experience learning Math.  
32
184240
6880
03:11
There's an equation with exponents. There's about  30 percent of this level of math that he doesn't know,  
33
191760
6542
03:18
doesn't understand, and that's what's on the test,  the part he doesn't know, so he starts to give up. 
34
198560
6548
03:25
It's because I’m seeing an equation and  they're dealing with exponents and that 30 percent 
35
205840
4240
03:30
that I didn't know is showing up. Our last example. 
36
210080
3120
03:33
So you see, your resume is  only part of the equation. 
37
213840
3285
03:37
Here, we're back to not talking about  Math, but talking about life. In this case,  
38
217760
4720
03:42
the issue of getting a job, a resume, is only  part of the equation. Other things matter,  
39
222480
5840
03:48
cover letter, how will you interview, what your  references have to say about you, for example. 
40
228320
5784
03:54
So you see, your resume is  only part of the equation. 
41
234960
3200
03:58
Our next word has two pronunciations, as a  noun, CONDUCT, as a verb, conduct.
42
238880
7705
04:14
Now, conduct, the way that a person  behaves in a particular place or situation.  
43
254696
5810
04:20
Eating while teaching is not considered to be  professional conduct. As a verb, conduct, second  
44
260800
6880
04:27
syllable stress now, to plan and do something.  I like the way the company conducts business.  
45
267680
6443
04:34
Let's look again up close and in slow motion. 
46
274480
3057
04:59
And now we'll go to Youglish for five examples. 
47
299872
2928
05:02
And so we have given them the green  light to go and conduct research studies. 
48
302800
3734
05:06
The green light, this means permission, a group of  people asked to do research on a particular topic,  
49
306960
7920
05:14
and their bosses looked at the situation and  decided it was a good idea, gave them permission,  
50
314880
5520
05:20
gave them the green light. If you use this  phrase, make sure you're using ‘the’ not ‘a’  
51
320400
6240
05:26
it's not 'a green light’ but to give the, the,  ‘the green light’. They got permission to conduct  
52
326640
7200
05:33
research, to plan, and do a research study. And so we have given them the green light to  
53
333840
5840
05:39
go and conduct research studies. Here's another example. 
54
339680
2960
05:43
We have to rethink the way we  conduct the public business. 
55
343200
3304
05:46
Conduct the public business. The  way we plan and do public business. 
56
346960
5342
05:52
We have to rethink the way we  conduct the public business. 
57
352720
3360
05:56
Here's another example. It's the words that you say,  
58
356080
2880
05:58
the way that you conduct yourself. The way that you conduct yourself. The way you  
59
358960
5440
06:04
do yourself, how you behave. Are you  positive, polite, do you show up to  
60
364400
4960
06:09
work on time? Are you trustworthy? Are you  always joking? How do you conduct yourself? 
61
369360
6000
06:16
It's the words that you say, the  way that you conduct yourself. 
62
376000
2960
06:18
Another example. You've held yourselves to a high code of conduct. 
63
378960
4374
06:23
A ‘code of conduct’ is a set of rules for how  to act. What is your code of conduct? For me,  
64
383840
6000
06:29
honesty is extremely important. I don't  want to lie or keep things from people. 
65
389840
4725
06:35
You've held yourselves to a high code of conduct. Our last example. 
66
395200
4454
06:40
But if they turn it over to student conduct,  then they will prosecute student conduct. 
67
400160
5111
06:45
So if you enroll in an American university,  you might need to sign a student code of  
68
405600
5520
06:51
conduct. It will state rules, expectations  on how you'll behave, like you won't cheat,  
69
411120
6640
06:57
you won't drink alcohol on campus, this kind  of thing. The rules will vary by university.  
70
417760
5920
07:04
Student conduct is an office that deals  with violations of the code of conduct.  
71
424480
4880
07:09
In this sample sentence, if someone cheats  in class, the professor might report that  
72
429920
5680
07:15
to student conduct. But if they turn it over  to student conduct, then they will prosecute. 
73
435600
5200
07:21
Our last word today is CONCLUSION.  Conclusion. Keep that first syllable  
74
441440
10160
07:31
really short. You don't need to try to put a  vowel in there. Con— con-- conclusion. A noun,  
75
451600
6960
07:38
a final decision or judgment, or the last  part of something. After thinking about it,  
76
458560
6720
07:45
we came to the conclusion that we shouldn't buy  the tickets. They're just too expensive. Let's  
77
465280
6000
07:51
look again up close and in slow motion.
78
471280
2890
08:07
And now we'll go to Youglish for five examples. 
79
487004
3063
08:10
So that brings us to your  conclusion, which I’m going to read. 
80
490320
2862
08:13
It looks like she's reading an article. The  conclusion is the last part of the article  
81
493440
5040
08:18
where you summarize what you've written, the  last thing you want the reader to think about. 
82
498480
4939
08:23
So that brings us to your  conclusion, which I’m going to read. 
83
503920
2880
08:26
Here's another example. That argument gives a wrong conclusion. 
84
506800
3440
08:31
Gives the wrong conclusion. This argument leads  you to the wrong decision, the wrong judgment. 
85
511200
5869
08:37
That argument gives a wrong conclusion. Here's another example. 
86
517360
3784
08:41
So the final conclusion is an optimistic one. The final conclusion. This is a little  
87
521600
6240
08:47
redundant. There's usually just one  conclusion, and it's the final decision. 
88
527840
5483
08:53
So the final conclusion is an optimistic one. Another example. 
89
533680
4400
08:58
You know, you're trying to, to  work towards, towards a conclusion. 
90
538080
4222
09:02
Work towards a conclusion. You want a  final decision or judgment to be made. 
91
542720
5120
09:07
You're trying to, to work  towards, towards a conclusion. 
92
547840
4156
09:12
Our last example. Alexander didn't reach that conclusion at all. 
93
552160
4153
09:16
Didn't reach that conclusion. They're talking  about a decision. This person, Alexander,  
94
556800
5680
09:22
had different ideas. Reached a different  decision than someone else, or a decision  
95
562480
5280
09:27
that was different from what was expected. Alexander didn't reach that conclusion at all. 
96
567760
5200
09:32
And now for the conclusion of this video. Seeing  all the real life examples can really help you  
97
572960
6480
09:39
understand how to use these words, can't it? I  have a challenge for you now. Make up a sentence
