39. 1:05>> Okay, David, let's start.
40. 1:07>> Let's go. Okay, Alice, let's start with
41. 1:10something simple. Something we all do
42. 1:12every day.
43. 1:13>> What is that? [music]
44. 1:14>> Our morning routine. What do you do in
45. 1:16the morning?
46. 1:17>> Oh, my morning routine. Okay. Well,
47. 1:20first my alarm goes off.
48. 1:22>> What time?
49. 1:22>> 7:00 every day. 7:00.
50. 1:25>> 7:00. That's early.
51. 1:27>> Not really. 7:00 is normal, I think.
52. 1:29What time do you wake up, David?
53. 1:31>> Me? Don't laugh. Okay,
54. 1:34>> I won't laugh. I promise.

56. 1:37>> 6:00? That is early. [laughter]
57. 1:41>> I know. I know. But I like the morning.
58. 1:43It's quiet. It's peaceful.
59. 1:45>> H I don't like quiet mornings. I need
60. 1:48noise. I need music.
61. 1:50>> Music in the morning. What kind of
62. 1:52music?
63. 1:52>> Happy music. Upbeat music. Something
64. 1:54with energy. Because in the morning I
65. 1:57feel tired.
66. 1:58>> I understand many people feel tired in
67. 2:00the morning.
68. 2:01>> Do you feel tired in the morning, David?
69. 2:03>> No, I feel good. But I drink coffee
70. 2:05first before [music] anything.
71. 2:07>> Ah, coffee. Yes, me too. Coffee is very
72. 2:10important.
73. 2:11>> Very important. Coffee is not optional.
74. 2:14Coffee is required.
75. 2:15>> Exactly. So after coffee, what do you
76. 2:18do?
77. 2:18>> I exercise. I go for a walk or sometimes
78. 2:21I do some stretching at home.
79. 2:23>> Stretching in the morning? Really?
80. 2:25>> Yes. It wakes up your body. It makes you
81. 2:27feel alive.
82. 2:28>> H, I should try that. I don't exercise
83. 2:30in the morning.
84. 2:31>> What do you do after coffee?
85. 2:32>> I shower. I get dressed. And then I eat
86. 2:35breakfast.
87. 2:35>> What do you eat for breakfast?
88. 2:37>> Usually toast with butter and honey.
89. 2:39Sometimes eggs.
90. 2:40>> Nice. [music] I eat oats. You know,
91. 2:43oatmeal with banana.
92. 2:44>> Oatmeal every day?
93. 2:46>> Almost every day. It gives me energy and
94. 2:48it's healthy.
95. 2:49>> You sound very healthy, David.
96. 2:51[laughter]
97. 2:52>> I try. I try. Okay, so let's think about
98. 2:54this. Our morning routine. Let me say it
99. 2:57again slowly.
100. 2:58>> Good idea. Let's repeat for our
101. 3:00listeners.
102. 3:01>> In the morning, I wake up at 7:00.
103. 3:04>> I wake up at 7:00.
104. 3:05>> I drink coffee.
105. 3:06>> I drink coffee.
106. 3:08>> I take a shower.
107. 3:09>> I take a shower.
108. 3:10>> I eat breakfast.
109. 3:11>> I eat breakfast.
110. 3:12>> And then I start my day.
111. 3:14>> And then I start my day. Good. Did you
112. 3:17hear those phrases? Wake up. Drink
113. 3:19coffee. Take a shower. Eat breakfast.
114. 3:22These are morning routine phrases. Very
115. 3:24useful.
116. 3:25>> Now, a question for you, the listener.
117. 3:27[music] What do you do in the morning?
118. 3:29Think about it. What is your morning
119. 3:31routine?
120. 3:31>> Think about it in English. Wake up,
121. 3:33[music]
122. 3:34coffee, tea, breakfast, exercise.
123. 3:37>> And tell us in the comments. We want to
124. 3:39know about your morning.
125. 3:41>> Okay, let's change the topic. Alice, do
126. 3:44you like your job?
127. 3:45>> Ooh, that's a personal question.
128. 3:48[laughter]
129. 3:49>> Sorry, but it's a good one, right? It is
130. 3:52okay. Yes, I like my job most of the
131. 3:55time.
132. 3:56>> Most of the time. Not always.
133. 3:58>> Not always. Nobody likes their job 100%
134. 4:01of the time. Am I right?
135. 4:02>> You are absolutely right. Nobody loves
136. 4:05every single moment at work.
137. 4:07>> So, what do you like about your job,
138. 4:08David?
139. 4:09>> I like helping people. That's the best
140. 4:11part. When someone tells me, "Thank you,
141. 4:13David. You really helped me." I feel
142. 4:15great.
143. 4:16>> That's really nice. I like that.
144. 4:18>> What about you? What do you like about
145. 4:19your job? I like working with different
146. 4:21people. Every day I talk to different
147. 4:23people and I learn something new every
148. 4:25day.
149. 4:26>> That's wonderful. Learning something new
150. 4:28every day is a gift.
151. 4:30>> Yes. And I like that. But sometimes the
152. 4:32meetings are too long.
153. 4:34>> Oh, long meetings. I know that feeling.
154. 4:37>> You sit in a meeting for 2 hours and you
155. 4:39think, "Can this just end? Please."
156. 4:42[laughter]
157. 4:43>> Yes. Please let me go home.
158. 4:46>> Exactly.
159. 4:47>> Okay. So, let's talk about some job
160. 4:49vocabulary. Some useful words about
161. 4:51work.
162. 4:52>> Yes, good idea.
163. 4:53>> First word, a colleague. A colleague is
164. 4:56someone you work with.
165. 4:57>> A colleague. For example, David is my
166. 5:00colleague.
167. 5:00>> That's right. David is my colleague.
168. 5:02Alice is my colleague.
169. 5:04>> Next word.
170. 5:04>> A deadline. A deadline is the date when
171. 5:07you must finish your work.
172. 5:09>> Oh, I know about deadlines. Deadlines
173. 5:11can be stressful.
174. 5:13>> Very stressful. The deadline is
175. 5:15tomorrow. That is not a fun sentence.
176. 5:18>> No, it is not. Okay. What's the next
177. 5:20word?
178. 5:21>> A manager. A manager is the person who
179. 5:23leads a team. Your boss.
180. 5:25>> Ah, yes. The manager or the boss. Some
181. 5:28people love their manager. Some people
182. 5:31don't. [laughter]
183. 5:32>> True. Let's hope everyone has a good
184. 5:34manager.
185. 5:35>> Let's hope. One more word.
186. 5:37>> Yes. To resign. To resign means to leave
187. 5:40your job. You choose to leave.
188. 5:42>> Ah, to resign. She resigned from her job
189. 5:45last week.
190. 5:46>> Exactly. She resigned from her job last
191. 5:49week. She left her job. She chose to
192. 5:51leave.
193. 5:52>> That's different from being fired,
194. 5:53right?
195. 5:54>> Yes. To be fired means someone tells you
196. 5:56to leave. You must leave. That's being
197. 5:59fired.
198. 5:59>> And to resign means you choose to leave.
199. 6:02>> Correct. To resign, you choose. To be
200. 6:04fired, someone tells you.
201. 6:06>> Very good. So, let's review. Repeat
202. 6:08after us, learners.
203. 6:09>> A colleague. A colleague is someone you
204. 6:12work with.
205. 6:12>> A deadline. A deadline is when you must
206. 6:15finish.
207. 6:15>> A manager. A manager is your boss.
208. 6:18>> To resign. To resign means you choose to
209. 6:20leave your job.
210. 6:21>> Great job, everyone. You're doing really
211. 6:23well.
212. 6:24>> Okay, David. New topic. Are you hungry?
213. 6:27[laughter]
214. 6:28>> Always. I'm always a little hungry.
215. 6:30>> Me, too, actually. Let's talk about
216. 6:32food.
217. 6:33>> Perfect topic. I love food.
218. 6:35>> Everyone loves food. What is your
219. 6:37favorite food?
220. 6:38>> Oh, that's a hard question. I really
221. 6:40love pasta. Italian food. Italian food,
222. 6:43pasta, pizza.
223. 6:45>> Yes, pasta with tomato sauce. Simple but
224. 6:48so good.
225. 6:49>> H I love Asian food. Japanese, Thai,
226. 6:53Vietnamese.
227. 6:54>> Oh, yes. Japanese food is amazing.
228. 6:57Sushi, ramen.
229. 6:58>> Yes, ramen, especially a big bowl of hot
230. 7:02ramen on a cold day. Perfect.
231. 7:04>> That sounds incredible. Do you cook at
232. 7:06home, Alice?
233. 7:07>> Sometimes I try, but I'm not a great
234. 7:10cook.
235. 7:10>> What do you cook? Simple things, eggs,
236. 7:13pasta, soup, things that are easy.
237. 7:15>> That's good. Simple food is often the
238. 7:18best food.
239. 7:18>> What about you? Do you cook?
240. 7:20>> Yes, I like cooking. I find it relaxing.
241. 7:23After a long day, I go to the kitchen
242. 7:25and I cook and I forget about
243. 7:27everything.
244. 7:28>> Oh, that's lovely. Cooking is therapy. I
245. 7:30like that.
246. 7:31>> Exactly. Cooking as therapy.
247. 7:34>> Okay, let's talk about going to a
248. 7:36restaurant. This is very practical for
249. 7:38learners. [music]
250. 7:39>> Yes. Going to a restaurant in English.
251. 7:41Very useful.
252. 7:42>> So imagine you go to a restaurant. The
253. 7:44waiter comes to your table. What does
254. 7:46the waiter say?
255. 7:47>> The waiter says, "Good evening. Welcome.
256. 7:49[music] Can I take your order?"
257. 7:51>> "Can I take your order?" That means what
258. 7:53do you want to eat?
259. 7:54>> Exactly. And you say, "Yes, I'd like the
260. 7:57pasta, please." Or, "I'll have the
261. 7:59chicken, please."
262. 8:00>> I'd [music] like, "I'll have." These are
263. 8:02very polite ways to order food.
264. 8:04>> Very polite. In English, in a
265. 8:06restaurant, we don't say, "Give me the
266. 8:09pasta." That sounds rude, [music]
267. 8:10>> right? We say, "I'd like the pasta,
268. 8:12please." Or, "Could I have the pasta,
269. 8:14please?"
270. 8:15>> Could I have? That's another great
271. 8:17phrase. "Could I have the pasta?"
272. 8:18>> Let's practice. David, you be the
273. 8:20waiter. I'm the customer.
274. 8:22>> Okay. Good evening. Welcome to our

277. 8:27>> Yes, thank you. I'd like the tomato
278. 8:29soup, please.
279. 8:30>> Of course. And for your main course?
280. 8:31>> I'll have the grilled salmon, please.
281. 8:33>> Excellent choice. And would you like
282. 8:35anything to drink?
283. 8:36>> Could I have a glass of water, please?
284. 8:37Still water?
285. 8:38>> Of course. Still water. Perfect. I'll be
286. 8:41right back.
287. 8:42>> Thank you, David. You're a very good
288. 8:43waiter. [laughter]
289. 8:45>> Thank you. I practiced.
290. 8:46>> Okay, learners. Let's repeat those key
291. 8:48phrases now.
292. 8:49>> Repeat after us slowly.

334. 10:06>> Japan? Yes, we were just talking about
335. 10:09Japanese food.
336. 10:10>> Yes, Japan for the food, but also for
337. 10:13the culture. The people are so kind. The
338. 10:16cities are so clean and organized, and
339. 10:18nature is so beautiful there.
340. 10:20>> I have never been to Japan, but I really
341. 10:22want to go.

358. 11:00>> That sounds amazing.
359. 11:01>> It was. And the food. Oh, the food in
360. 11:04Morocco.
361. 11:05>> What did you eat?
362. 11:06>> Tajine. Do you know tajine?
363. 11:08>> Yes. It's a stew, right? Cooked in a
364. 11:10special pot.

412. 12:51>> Visa. A visa gives you permission to
413. 12:53enter a country.
414. 12:54>> Luggage. Your luggage is your bags.
415. 12:56>> Accommodation. Accommodation is where
416. 12:59you stay.
417. 12:59>> Itinerary. An itinerary is your travel
418. 13:02plan.
419. 13:02>> Excellent. Now you're ready to travel
420. 13:04the world in English.
421. 13:07>> Alice, how much time do you spend on
422. 13:09your phone every day?
423. 13:10>> Oh, no. Do I have to answer that?
424. 13:14>> Yes, you have to.
425. 13:15>> Okay. Okay. Honestly, probably
426. 13:194 hours. Maybe five.
427. 13:22>> Four or 5 hours. That's a lot.
428. 13:25>> I know. I know. But it's not all bad. I
429. 13:27use my phone for work, too.
430. 13:29>> What do you use your phone for?
431. 13:31>> Everything. I check emails. I message
432. 13:33people. I use social media. I watch
433. 13:35videos. I read the news. I take photos.
434. 13:38I use maps when I'm lost.
435. 13:40>> When you're lost?
436. 13:42>> I get lost sometimes. Thank goodness for
437. 13:44maps. I completely understand. My phone
438. 13:47is like a small computer. I use it for
439. 13:49everything, too.
440. 13:50>> It's incredible, actually. Think about
441. 13:52it. 20 years ago, people didn't have
442. 13:54smartphones.
443. 13:56>> That's true. People used paper maps.
444. 13:58They wrote letters. They called from
445. 14:00payoneses.
446. 14:01>> A pay phone? [music] Do young people
447. 14:03today even know what a pay phone is?
448. 14:05>> Maybe not. A pay phone is a public
449. 14:08telephone. You put coins inside and then
450. 14:10you call. It sounds so old-fashioned
451. 14:12now, but it was normal.
452. 14:14>> Things change so fast. Technology
453. 14:16changes so fast.
454. 14:18>> Yes. And now everything is on one small
455. 14:20device, your phone.
456. 14:22>> The phone does everything. Camera,
457. 14:24computer, map, music, TV.
458. 14:27>> And sometimes we forget to use it as a
459. 14:29phone. [laughter]
460. 14:31>> That's true. We use it for everything
461. 14:33except calling people.
462. 14:35>> I sometimes go a whole day without
463. 14:36making a phone call.
464. 14:38>> Me, too. I text, I message, but calling
465. 14:41not so much.
466. 14:42>> Do you think technology is good or bad
467. 14:44for us?
468. 14:45>> H I think it is both. It is good because
469. 14:48it connects us. I can talk to my friend
470. 14:51in another country right now.
471. 14:52>> That's amazing. I agree.
472. 14:54>> But it can also be bad if we use it too
473. 14:57much. If we spend more time on our phone
474. 14:59than with real people,
475. 15:00>> that's a problem. Yes, balance is
476. 15:02important.
477. 15:03>> Balance is the key word. Balance. We
478. 15:06need balance with technology.
479. 15:08>> That's a great point, David. Use
480. 15:10technology, but don't let technology use
481. 15:12you.
482. 15:13>> Ooh, that's deep. [laughter]
483. 15:16>> I have my moments.
484. 15:17>> Okay, let's learn some technology
485. 15:19vocabulary. Words we use every day.
486. 15:22>> Yes. First word, to scroll. To scroll
487. 15:25means to move up and down on your
488. 15:27screen.
489. 15:28>> To scroll. I was scrolling through my
490. 15:30phone for an hour.
491. 15:31>> We all do that.
492. 15:33>> Next word, to charge. To charge your
493. 15:35phone means to give it electricity, to
494. 15:37fill the battery.
495. 15:38>> My phone is dead. I need to charge it.
496. 15:41>> Dead. When a phone has no battery, we
497. 15:43say it's dead.
498. 15:45>> My phone is dead. Such a dramatic
499. 15:47phrase.
500. 15:48>> It is dramatic, but we all say it.
501. 15:50>> Next. An app. A P. An app is a program
502. 15:54on your phone.
503. 15:55>> An app. A travel app. A music app. A
504. 15:58language learning app.
505. 15:59>> What's your favorite app, David?
506. 16:01>> Hm. Maybe a podcast app. I listen to a
507. 16:04lot of podcasts.
508. 16:05>> Nice. A podcast app. I like that. My
509. 16:08favorite might be a cooking app. I look
510. 16:09at recipes.
511. 16:10>> Oh, yes. Cooking apps are great. So many
512. 16:13recipes.
513. 16:14>> Okay, one more tech word. To update. To
514. 16:16update your phone means to install a new
515. 16:18version, new software.
516. 16:20>> Please update your phone. Your phone
517. 16:22says this to you.
518. 16:23>> And we always say later. Remind me
519. 16:26later. [laughter]
520. 16:27>> Every time. Remind me later. And then we
521. 16:30forget for 6 months.
522. 16:32>> Exactly. Okay, let's repeat the
523. 16:33technology words.
524. 16:34>> To scroll, move up and down on the
525. 16:37screen.
526. 16:37>> To charge, give electricity to your
527. 16:39phone.
528. 16:40>> An app, a program on your phone.
529. 16:42>> To update, install a new version.
530. 16:44>> Great. Simple words, very useful in
531. 16:47daily life. Okay, David, you mentioned
532. 16:50exercise before. Do you exercise a lot?
533. 16:53>> I try to exercise regularly, about four
534. 16:55or five times a week.
535. 16:57>> Wow. Four or five times a week? I feel
536. 17:00lazy now. [laughter]
537. 17:02Don't feel lazy. Any exercise is good,
538. 17:05even a short walk.
539. 17:06>> What kind of exercise do you do?
540. 17:08>> I walk. I run sometimes. And I go to the
541. 17:11gym a couple of times a week.
542. 17:12>> What do you do at the gym?
543. 17:13>> I lift weights and I do some cardio. You
544. 17:16know, on the treadmill or the bike.
545. 17:17>> A treadmill. [music]
546. 17:18That's the machine where you run, but
547. 17:20you don't go anywhere.
548. 17:22>> Exactly. You run and run and you stay in
549. 17:25the same place, but it's good for your
550. 17:27heart.
551. 17:28>> Yes, I understand. I should go to the
552. 17:30gym more. I used to go regularly.
553. 17:32>> What happened?
554. 17:33>> Life happened. [laughter] Work got busy.
555. 17:36I got tired and then I just stopped.
556. 17:38[music]
557. 17:39>> That's very common. A lot of people
558. 17:41start exercising and then stop.
559. 17:43>> It's hard to stay motivated.
560. 17:45>> Very hard. The key is to find something
561. 17:47you enjoy, not something you hate.
562. 17:49>> That makes sense. If you enjoy it, you
563. 17:52will continue.
564. 17:53>> Exactly. For example, I don't love
565. 17:55running, but I love walking, so I walk.
566. 17:58>> And that works for you. It works for me.
567. 18:00Walking every morning makes me feel
568. 18:02great.
569. 18:03>> What about food? Do you eat healthy food
570. 18:05to stay healthy?
571. 18:06>> I try. I eat a lot of vegetables and
572. 18:08fruit. I drink a lot of water.
573. 18:10>> Water? [music]
574. 18:11Yes. Water is so important.
575. 18:13>> Very important. Our bodies are mostly
576. 18:15water. We need to drink enough.
577. 18:17>> How much water should we drink every
578. 18:19day?
579. 18:20>> Doctors usually say about eight glasses.
580. 18:22Eight glasses of water per day.
581. 18:24>> Eight glasses. That's quite a lot. It
582. 18:26sounds like a lot, but if you carry a
583. 18:28water bottle with you, you drink more
584. 18:30without thinking about it.
585. 18:31>> That's a good tip. Always carry water.
586. 18:33>> Always carry water. And try to move your
587. 18:36body every day.
588. 18:37>> Even just a short walk.
589. 18:38>> Even just 10 minutes. 10 minutes is
590. 18:40better than nothing.
591. 18:41>> I like that. 10 minutes is better than
592. 18:44nothing. That's very encouraging.
593. 18:46>> Okay, let's learn some health
594. 18:48vocabulary.
595. 18:49>> Yes, health is a very important topic.
596. 18:51>> First, fit. To be fit means your body is
597. 18:54healthy and strong. She is very fit.
598. 18:57[music]
599. 18:57>> Fit. He looks very fit. He must exercise
600. 19:01a lot.
601. 19:02>> Next. A habit. A habit is something you
602. 19:04do regularly without thinking.
603. 19:06>> A good habit. A [music] bad habit.
604. 19:08>> Drinking water is a good habit.
605. 19:10>> Eating too much sugar is a bad habit.
606. 19:12>> Good examples. Next word. Stress. Stress
607. 19:15is when you feel worried or under
608. 19:16pressure.
609. 19:17>> Oh, everyone knows stress.
610. 19:19>> Too well. I feel a lot of stress at
611. 19:22work.
612. 19:23>> Yes. And stress is not good for your
613. 19:25health. So, it's important to manage
614. 19:27stress.
615. 19:27>> How do you manage stress, David?
616. 19:29>> I walk. [music] I exercise. I talk to
617. 19:31friends. And I try not to worry too
618. 19:34much.
619. 19:34>> Easy to say, hard to do. [laughter]
620. 19:37>> Very true. But we try.
621. 19:39>> One more health word.
622. 19:40>> Yes. Energy. Energy is the power you
623. 19:43have to do things.
624. 19:44>> I have a lot of energy today.
625. 19:46>> I have no energy. I need to sleep.
626. 19:50I say that a lot.
627. 19:51>> Me too. I have no energy.
628. 19:54>> Okay, let's repeat the health words.
629. 19:56[music]
630. 19:56>> Fit. Your body is healthy and strong.
631. 19:59>> A habit. Something you do regularly.
632. 20:01>> Stress. Feeling worried or under
633. 20:04pressure.
634. 20:04>> Energy. The power you have to do things.
635. 20:07>> Excellent. Take care of your health,
636. 20:09everyone. It's the most important thing.
637. 20:12>> David, where do you live? Do you live in
638. 20:14a house or an apartment?
639. 20:16>> I live in an apartment in the city. Do
640. 20:18you like it?
641. 20:19>> Yes, I do. I like city life. Everything
642. 20:22is close. Shops, restaurants, transport.
643. 20:25Very convenient.
644. 20:26>> I live in a house. A small house outside
645. 20:28the city.
646. 20:29>> Oh, that's nice. More quiet.
647. 20:31>> Much more quiet. I can hear birds in the
648. 20:34morning.
649. 20:34>> That sounds peaceful.
650. 20:35>> It is, but sometimes I miss the city. I
651. 20:38have to drive everywhere.
652. 20:40>> Yes, that's the problem with living
653. 20:41outside the city. You need a car.
654. 20:44>> Always. [music] I can't walk to the
655. 20:45supermarket. I can't walk to work
656. 20:47>> in the city. I walk almost everywhere.
657. 20:50>> I love that idea. Walking is so freeing.
658. 20:52>> It is. And it's free. [laughter]
659. 20:56Free and freeing. What do you like most
660. 20:58about your house?
661. 20:59>> I have a garden. A small garden. And I
662. 21:02love it.
663. 21:02>> Oh, a garden. That's wonderful.
664. 21:05>> Yes, I grow vegetables, tomatoes, herbs,
665. 21:08some flowers.
666. 21:10>> You grow your own vegetables. That's
667. 21:12amazing.
668. 21:13>> It's very satisfying. You plant the
669. 21:15seed. You water it, you wait, and then
670. 21:18one day you eat it.
671. 21:19>> Wow. From seed to plate.
672. 21:22>> From seed to plate. [music] Exactly.
673. 21:24>> I'd love to have a garden, but in an
674. 21:26apartment it's not possible.
675. 21:28>> You can have small plants on your window
676. 21:30sill.
677. 21:30>> That's true. I have a few plants on my
678. 21:32window.
679. 21:33>> Plants make a home feel alive.
680. 21:35>> Agreed. They also clean the air.
681. 21:37>> Really?
682. 21:38>> Yes. Some plants clean the air. They
683. 21:40take bad things out and put good things
684. 21:42in.
685. 21:42>> Nature is amazing. It really is.
686. 21:45>> Okay, let's learn some home vocabulary.
687. 21:48>> Home words. Very useful.
688. 21:50>> First, a landlord. A landlord is the
689. 21:53person who owns the property and rents
690. 21:54it to you.
691. 21:55>> If you rent your apartment, your
692. 21:57landlord is the owner.
693. 21:58>> My landlord is very helpful.
694. 22:00>> I need to call my landlord about the
695. 22:02broken heating.
696. 22:03>> Next, rent. Rent is the money you pay
697. 22:06every month to live somewhere.
698. 22:08>> The rent is quite expensive in this
699. 22:10city.
700. 22:10>> Yes, rent is a big topic in many cities.
701. 22:13Very expensive.
702. 22:15>> Very expensive. Next word. A neighbor. A
703. 22:18neighbor is someone who lives near you.
704. 22:20>> My neighbor is very friendly.
705. 22:22>> My neighbor is a little noisy.
706. 22:25>> We all have one neighbor like that.
707. 22:27>> Always one noisy neighbor. [laughter]
708. 22:29>> Okay, one more. Furniture. Furniture is
709. 22:32the big things in your home. Sofas,
710. 22:34chairs, tables, beds.
711. 22:36>> Furniture. I need to buy furniture for
712. 22:39my new apartment. Moving to a new place
713. 22:41and buying furniture is expensive.
714. 22:43>> Very expensive, but also exciting.
715. 22:46>> Yes. A new home, new start, new
716. 22:49furniture.
717. 22:50>> Let's repeat.
718. 22:50>> A landlord, the person who owns the
719. 22:53property.
720. 22:53>> Rent, the money you pay each month.
721. 22:56>> A neighbor, someone who lives near you.
722. 22:58>> Furniture, tables, chairs, sofas, beds.
723. 23:02>> Great words. Very useful for talking
724. 23:04about your home.
725. 23:06>> Alice, what is your favorite season? Oh,
726. 23:08I love autumn. Fall. The colors of the
727. 23:11leaves, the cool air, the smell.
728. 23:14>> The smell.
729. 23:15>> Yes. Autumn has a special smell like
730. 23:18earth and leaves and something cozy.
731. 23:20>> That's beautiful. I never thought about
732. 23:22the smell of autumn.
733. 23:23>> You should notice it. Next autumn, step
734. 23:25outside and just breathe deeply.
735. 23:28>> I will do that. What is your least
736. 23:31favorite season?
737. 23:32>> Winter. Definitely winter.
738. 23:34>> Why?
739. 23:34>> It's too cold. I hate being cold. I hate
740. 23:37short days. Dark at 4:00 in the
741. 23:40afternoon. That's depressing. [laughter]
742. 23:43>> 4:00 and it's dark already.
743. 23:45>> Yes. You feel like it's midnight, but
744. 23:46it's only 4 in the afternoon. Terrible.
745. 23:49>> I actually like winter a little bit.
746. 23:51>> Really? Why?
747. 23:52>> I like staying inside when it's cold
748. 23:54outside. Hot chocolate, a good book, a
749. 23:57warm blanket.
750. 23:58>> Okay, that part I like.
751. 24:00>> See, winter has good things.
752. 24:02>> The inside part of winter is nice. The
753. 24:04outside part is not. Fair enough. And
754. 24:07what about summer?
755. 24:08>> I love summer. Long days, sunshine,
756. 24:11going outside, ice cream.
757. 24:14>> Ice cream. Very important.
758. 24:15>> The most important thing about summer.
759. 24:18[laughter]
760. 24:18>> Agreed.
761. 24:19>> Do you like summer, David?
762. 24:20>> Yes, but not too hot. When it's very,
763. 24:23very hot and I struggle.
764. 24:25>> What temperature is too hot for you?
765. 24:26>> Anything over 35° C feels too hot to me.
766. 24:30>> 35°?
767. 24:32In some countries, that's a normal
768. 24:33summer day.
769. 24:34>> I know. Some places are 40 or even 45
770. 24:37degrees in summer. I don't know how
771. 24:39people manage.
772. 24:40>> They get used to it, I think.
773. 24:41>> Maybe. Or they just stay inside with air
774. 24:44conditioning. [laughter]
775. 24:45>> Smart people.
776. 24:47>> Okay. Weather vocabulary. Very useful
777. 24:49for small talk.
778. 24:51>> Yes. In English, people talk about the
779. 24:53weather a lot.
780. 24:54>> A lot. Especially in countries where the
781. 24:56weather is unpredictable, like England.
782. 24:59>> Yes. The English love talking about
783. 25:01weather.
784. 25:02>> First weather word, cloudy. When there
785. 25:04are many clouds in the sky,
786. 25:06>> it's very cloudy today. I think it will
787. 25:08rain.
788. 25:08>> Next, foggy. Fog is like a white cloud
789. 25:12on the ground. You can't see far.
790. 25:14>> Drive carefully. It's very foggy this
791. 25:16morning.
792. 25:16>> Next, humid. Humid means the air has a
793. 25:19lot of water in it. Wet air.
794. 25:21>> The weather is hot and humid. Very
795. 25:23uncomfortable.
796. 25:24>> Humid weather makes you feel sticky and
797. 25:26hot. Not nice.
798. 25:28>> Not nice at all. Last weather word, a

943. 30:10some very useful everyday expressions.
944. 30:13>> Expressions for daily conversation.
945. 30:15These will help you sound more natural.
946. 30:17>> First expression, I'm not sure, but this

959. 30:38about that.
960. 30:38>> You make a good point. We should leave
961. 30:40earlier. This expression shows you are
962. 30:42listening and you respect the other
963. 30:44person's idea.
964. 30:45>> Very important in English conversation.
965. 30:47>> Next, actually. You use actually when

973. 31:02>> A lot every day.
974. 31:03>> Next expression. It depends. You say
975. 31:06this when the answer changes for
976. 31:08different situations.
977. 31:09>> Should I bring a jacket? Well, it

979. 31:12>> Is London expensive? It depends on where
980. 31:14you go.
981. 31:15>> It depends. Very useful. Not everything
982. 31:17has a simple yes or no answer.

984. 31:22>> a little bit.
985. 31:23>> Next. By the way, this is how you

997. 31:44what I think.
998. 31:45>> Or, I totally agree. We should leave
999. 31:48earlier.
1000. 31:48>> And if you want to disagree politely,
1001. 31:50you can say, I see your point, but
1002. 31:53>> I see your point, but I think there
1003. 31:55might be another way to do it.
1004. 31:56>> Polite disagreement. Very important in
1005. 31:59English.
1006. 31:59>> Very important. In English, we usually
1007. 32:02disagree politely. We don't just say,
1008. 32:04"No, you're wrong."
1009. 32:05>> No, that's not very polite.
1010. 32:07>> Not at all. We soften it. I see your

1024. 32:23>> I totally agree.
1025. 32:24>> I totally agree.
1026. 32:26>> And to disagree politely. I see your
1027. 32:28point, but
1028. 32:29>> I see your point, but
1029. 32:30>> these expressions will make your English
1030. 32:32sound so much more natural.
1031. 32:34>> Practice them today. Use them in a
1032. 32:35conversation. You will feel the
1033. 32:37difference.
