3300
02:16
I don't know you like that.
33
136005
1590
02:18
Now, this is kind of slang a little bit, but listen closely.
34
138000
3390
02:21
Yo, Hey, you need to back off.
35
141540

44
162239
2101
02:44
I don't know you like that.
45
164640
1590
02:46
So in English we say back off, when you're telling someone to step away, or when
46
166530
5760
02:52
you're saying that you will step away.
47

195540
4230
03:19
You create a scene or outburst.
54
199830
3240
03:23
For example, maybe you're a little upset and you're clenching your teeth,
55
203475
5640
03:29
but then you get so angry that you suddenly scream and you make a big
56
209295
5070
03:34
scene and people start looking at you.
57
214365
2460
03:36

2730
04:11

66
251745
1860
04:15
It's hard to practice patience.
67
255075
2700
04:17
Sometimes when all you want to do is blow up on them.
68
257775
4080
04:22
Sometimes as a mother, you get very impatient and angry with your children and
69
262125
4860
04:26
you want to blow up, you caught it, right.
70
266985
3810
04:30
Maybe you're a mom.

74
279195
570
04:40

75
280875
1650
04:42
Now that's something that would make you really angry, right?
76
282945
2580
04:45
If someone broke your Rolex watch.
77
285525
2730
04:49
Please don't blow up, but I broke your Rolex.
78
289650
3480
04:53
I, I, I don't want you to be angry.
79
293510
1540
04:55
I don't want you to, uh, to yell at me, but I broke your Rolex.
80
295050
3900
04:59
So again, please don't blow up, but I broke your Rolex again in English.
81
299370
6660
05:06
The second English FRA verb, you must understand and know how to use is blow up.

Think about when you get a new pair of shoes, they look great, but
101
377475

06:21
then you put them on and are not as comfortable as you'd like them to be.
102
381195
4040
06:25
But then after a few days, you kind of feel them getting a little
103
385785
3690
06:29
bit more comfortable, right?
104
389475
1500
06:31
Or you buy a new sweater or, or a new outfit.
105
391095
2700

a few days, it starts to feel good.

11:57

197
717935

11:59
All right.

209
761940
1050
12:44
you know what time it is?
210
764520
1830
12:46
It's story time.
211
766470
1930
12:48
A, I said it's story time, like a little slow down at the end.
212
768750
4560
12:54
all right.
213
774540
500
12:55
So I wanna tell you about a time.
214
775260
1980
12:58
When I was studying Korean and I had a presentation I was studying, um, at dejak
215
778140
6900
13:05
and that's the name of the university.
216
785520
2160
13:07
And I had to give a presentation completely in Korean.
217
787740
4110
13:12
It was kind of our midterm and everybody had to give a presentation now.
218
792180
5310
13:18
I don't mind giving presentations, but it's different when
219
798045
3390
13:21
it's in another language.
220
801435
1590
13:23
So I organized my presentation and I was a little bit nervous.
221
803025
4380
13:27
So I woke up the day of the presentation, the day of the
222
807464
3390
13:30
presentation I got up super early.
223
810854
2071
13:32
I think it may have been either 3:00 AM or 4:00 AM.
224
812925
3240
13:36
I got up at a time when I knew everyone in our dorm would be sleeping.
225
816314
4500
13:41
So when I woke up, everyone was sleep.
226
821084
1951
13:43
But I needed to practice.
227
823530
1250
13:45
I couldn't practice in my room because my roommate was sleeping and
228
825000
3240
13:48
I didn't wanna wake up anyone else.
229
828240
1829
13:50
So I went to the bathroom down the hall, made sure no one was in the bathroom
230
830340
5400
13:56
and I closed the door and I think I may have locked the door as well.
231
836189
3901
14:00
And I took out my presentation and the bathroom was pretty big.
232
840600
3420
14:04
And I stood in front of the mirror and I started practicing.
233
844319
3750
14:08
I can remember myself walking back and forth in front of the mirror.
234
848400
4710
14:13
Practicing.
235
853410
810
14:14
And when I'd make a mistake, I'd start over and continue practicing
236
854220
3900
14:18
because I wanted to do well.
237
858180
1710
14:20
And I did this for about an hour and a half.
238
860310
2310
14:23
Then once it hit about five 30 or 6:00 AM, I went back to my room.
239
863250
4350
14:27
I, I got my stuff together and I went to take a shower to get ready
240
867930
2970
14:30
for class and fast forward to about nine or nine 30 in the morning.
241
870905
4105
14:35
I remember walking into the classroom, sitting down and the teacher started
242
875010
4560
14:39
the class and then she called my name and I had to go to the.
243
879570
2790
14:43
And I had to give my presentation.
244
883125
2730
14:46
Now I was still a little bit nervous, but because I had practiced and
245
886305
5130
14:52
prepared, I was able to do well.
246
892055
2590
14:54
I could tell by the looks on my classmates faces that they were understanding.
247
894945
3990
14:59
I could tell that my teacher was understanding and that she was nodding.
248
899055
3660
15:02
Um, letting me know that, okay, you're doing well.
249
902895
2370
15:05
You're doing.
250
905265
510
15:06
But it was all because I practiced and prepared.
251
906824
3900
15:11
I didn't just walk into the classroom and expect to do a good job I prepared.
252
911145
5780
15:17
And the preparation helped me do well on my presentation.
253
917444
4081
15:22
Now, why did I tell you this story?
254
922064
1921
15:24
Because the same is true for you as an English learner.
255
924464
2971
15:27
Yes.
256
927915
659
15:28
It was challenging for me to give a presentation in Korean.
257
928605
3209
15:32
It's challenging for you to learn how to speak English fluently,
258
932505
2790
15:35
like a native English speaker.
259
935295
1500
15:36
However, when you prepare, when you follow a plan, you'll be able to
260
936825
6060
15:42
achieve all of your English goals.
261
942885
2640
15:45
So I want you to remember that.
262
945825
1290
15:47
Prepare know that you can achieve your English goals and you definitely will.
263
947610
5190
15:53
I hope you enjoyed this short story.
264
953100
1860
15:54
I will catch you next time again, if you wanna plan, go
265
954960
3210
15:58
to daily English lessons.com and I'll talk to you next time.
