here we go again welcome to a serene
peaceful quiet tranquil well almost
it's almost quiet besides the sound of
people chopping down trees that is the
only thing disturbing the peace here
today hi everybody here we go yes it is
another english addict live stream from
the birthplace yes we are coming live
from a place where it all started it is
where where the English language was
born of course it is England
ddddd I really do wish I had my echo
echo echo hi everybody this is mr.
Duncan in England how are you today are
you okay
I hope so are you happy well I hope you
are happy I hope you are feeling good
today and my camera has just gone off
well that's good that's good I don't
know why my camera has just gone off oh
that's interesting yeah there's some
very interesting things happening at the
moment on my camera let's just see if I
can sort that out oh okay that's
interesting I don't know what's going on
here
I think my I think my equipment has just
literally gone wrong how strange well
that is very embarrassing I must say
let's just see if we can sort that out
is it working now oh I think we are we
are back on now oh dear
I'm not quite sure what happened there
did you see that I went all strange my
camera went off and then it came back
off well at least I noticed that there
was a problem I don't know what's
happening recently all of my equipment
seems to be going wrong I'm not sure if
it's me or maybe something happening out
there
maybe something spooky is happening out
there somewhere so I hope I'm back am i
back on hello am i inside your little
square box I really hope I am here we
are then yes we are here together once
again it's the end of the week we have
made it almost to the weekend
yes it's Friday
did you do to do I'm glad to see you
here it is the end of the week it's
Friday
yes it's Friday yes it's Friday I don't
know why but today everyone has decided
to chop their trees down I don't know
why people in this area hate trees so
much but it would appear that it almost
every day someone somewhere around here
is having their trees chopped down so
that is what is happening behind me if
you can hear some sounds that are not me
talking well that might be because
people have decided to fell some trees
fell did you know that the word fell can
be used as a verb it's true you can fell
a tree so those guys behind me
well they might be girls of course I'm
not saying that girls can't use
chainsaws I'm sure ladies you are more
than capable of holding a chainsaw in
your hand and cutting down a tree I I'm
not saying you can't oh what a strange
age to be living in but you can fell a
tree so you chop the tree and then you
fell the tree it is actually a verb as
well as something that is talking about
a thing that has already fallen it fell
yesterday so we are using it in the past
tense as well hello to the live chat oh
we have a lot of people on the live chat
first of all before I go any further I
do have a very special thank you to give
out I do a very special thank you just a
moment
don't go away
I have to say hello to suit two two
special ladies can I say hello to
Nicoletta threesome and also Veronica
Sanchez Patino for your lovely kind
donations on PayPal I received yesterday
thank you very much for your lovely
donations and there once again I will
say it once again thank you thank you
very much Nicoletta free so on and also
Veronica Sanchez Patino for your kind
donations to my paypal and yet there of
course underneath the bottom of the
screen you can see the address if you
want to make a small donation or maybe
you've just won the lottery maybe you
are now a multimillionaire
riding around in your big speedboat or
maybe a very large yacht so there is the
address
do-do-do-do-do-do
thank you Nicoletta and also Veronica
thank you very much indeed I do
appreciate your very kind donations and
the reason why I ask for donations is
because I do all of this for free so I
spend a lot of my time now preparing
also going through your questions your
emails your comments sometimes I spend
more time in front of my computer
reading than I do actually here talking
to you so I do spend a lot of my time
doing this even though now it again I do
disappear but I have to have a rest as
well sometimes I do have to have a
little rest here in the UK a lot of
people now are getting ready to go back
to work we are now talking business as
usual it is a great
phrase it is actually a phrase when we
talk about business as usual we are
saying that everything is going back to
how it was quite often relating to your
business so maybe if you have a shop and
your shop has been closed or maybe you
have had some situation that is caused
your shop to be closed for a certain
period of time like recently for example
but then suddenly you open again you
start your business again
you reopen your door you start working
maybe you have a company that provides a
service we can say that you have all
gone back to work because it is business
as usual so for many people it is now
business as usual which means that
things have gone back to normal many
things are now normal as they were
before and that is why we have the
phrase business as usual we will often
see this outside a shop if there is some
roadworks or some construction taking
place very close to some business
premises when we say premises we mean
the place where something happens
maybe the premises of a lawyer or the
premises of a school it is the area in
which something happens something occurs
quite often we are talking about private
property so maybe a factory or a school
or maybe in office the premises so
something is happening nearby which
might cause a disruption or problems so
that's what we say we say business as
usual
we are reopening soon soon it will be
business as usual as many people start
to return to work not only here but also
in many parts of the world as well
including Australia I noticed this
morning that many pubs have reopened in
Australia and I'm sure there will be a
lot of very thirsty
Australians waiting to have their first
pint of beer what is it they drink what
is it what do you drink in Australia is
it Foster's I think it is isn't it
I remember many years ago Foster's lager
was advertised on television and they
used to use who was it
Crocodile Dundee Paul Hogan used to be
the spokesperson he was the guy who
would appear in all of the Fosters
adverts many years ago I know I am aging
myself mr. Duncan we can't believe that
you used to watch Paul Hogan many years
ago yes
famous for Crocodile Dundee but also he
is famous for appearing in Foster's
Barga adverts in the 1980s a very long
time ago I know I know
oh hello live chat changing the subject
very quickly
hello live chat Mohsen hello Mohsen
guess what you are first on today's live
chat
congratulations to you thank you very
much for joining me today thank you also
our HS we also have grace sujin Vitas is
here
Martha Poland hello Martha nice to see
you back as well lots of people already
on the livestream I know what is
happening at the moment I know that many
people are now going back to normal
going back to work so there won't be as
many people here as usual however
because things are slowly going back to
normal
including here in England things are
slowly going back to how they were we
might say that pretty soon it will be
business as usual I like that expression
it means things are starting to turn
around business as usual
things are going back to how they were
or maybe things are continuing how they
were before mm-hmm I don't know what
happened to my camera at the start of
today's livestream something very
strange happened I'm keeping a close eye
on my computer screen just to make sure
nothing else goes wrong today we will
see what happens flower s Bois is here
today nice to see you as well we are
talking about lots of things
it is Friday and we have some strange
English words some unusual English words
to show you today I will show them to
you and I will also explain their
meanings so even though they are strange
words it it doesn't mean that they're
never used because they are used very
often so you might find sometimes in
English when people are talking they
will use
unusual or strange sounding words words
that don't seem real so I'm going to
take a look at some more of those very
strange words later on you might also
notice behind me can you see I have one
of my bird feeders hanging next to the
bush behind me I'm hoping maybe we might
get some birds coming to the bird feeder
behind me I'm hoping so I am really
hoping that some birds will come during
today's live stream so I've put that
behind me too just just in case it you
might call it an experiment you might
call it some sort of experiment maybe
maybe not so Lewis is here
oh hello Luis Mendez I wish I had my
echo I really do
Mostafa how are you doing today I'm okay
not too bad thank you very much mr.
steve is also feeling a little better I
have a feeling that Steve is now on the
road to recovery however I don't think I
don't think what he had was I don't
think it was I don't think he had that
I'm pretty pretty certain it wasn't that
I'm pretty certain it wasn't that well
first of all I'm not ill so nothing has
happened to me I feel fine I feel fine
and dandy today hello Elizabeth Bayer
hello to you watching in Argentina nice
to see you here
hello Belarusian nice to see you back on
the live stream we have missed you I
know that you have other things going on
at the moment but it's great to see you
here and I hope your father is doing
well also
talking of fathers I was asked a very
interesting question the other day I
don't know why there was a bird
behind me he is looking he is looking
after the bush he might come wait there
let's see let's see if the Blackbird
will come behind me come on don't be shy
come on mr. blackbird he's sitting there
at the moment watching I can see him
just behind me he's actually watching me
whilst I'm doing my livestream but
unfortunately he is a little bit shy
just like me yeah hello also - oh yes
wait there
it's just rewind me it's my father still
alive the answer to that question is yes
my father is still alive a very strange
question but I will answer it anyway yes
I have my father still with me he is
still alive and also my mother as well
who is being taken care of she is in
care at the moment she's not too well so
might both my mother and father are
still alive hello Han Han ha hello to
you nice to see you here as well
ah that's a shame the Blackbird is a
little shy I think it is just behind me
in this bush it's it's just sitting in
there
I think it's waiting for me to go away
he will have to wait for quite a while
also coming up today by the way we are
going to look at words and other ways of
describing Cut & Sew s e W so so so you
repair something you will sew something
and then we have the word cut we have
the word cut so that's what we're
looking at as well today also here's
something I want to show you all this
morning I decided to give myself a
little treat we had some shopping
delivered we had a little bit of
shopping delivered and guess what one of
the things we had something I ate this
morning and I really did enjoy it would
you like to see what I had for breakfast
this morning I'm sure some people will
complain you will say mr. Duncan you
should not be eating that disgusting
food however this morning I couldn't
resist so here is what I had for my
breakfast this morning
whoa what is that I hear you ask
that is a crumpet crumpet we call that
particular thing a crumpet I will show
you the word in a moment on the screen
so there is my breakfast that is what I
had this morning a very popular type of
food here in the UK it is called a
crumpet some people also refer to it as
an English crumpet so that particular
item is called a crumpet if you want to
see the word well guess what
here it is now in my hand so there is
the word crumpet it is a type of food
quite often eaten in the morning so in
the morning you will have this sometimes
for breakfast crumpet I love this word I
don't know why it always makes me smile
and one of the reasons why it makes me
smile is sometimes you can use this word
in a very some might say offensive way
crumpet if you are walking down the road
and you see a beautiful girl and it
happens to be 1978 you may have said oh
look there is a nice piece of crumpet
and that means a nice lady or an
attractive woman so the word crumpet can
I just say I don't think people use that
expression anymore however many years
ago in the late late 1970s crumpet it is
a type of food but also we used to use
it to describe a beautiful lady a lady
who was very desirable or gorgeous or
attractive crumpet I like it well I like
crumpet as in the breakfast food I look
to have my crumpet in the morning I
can't wait for my morning crumpet
hello to Quran Karim nice to see you

Dilek hello Dilek hello to you as well

moment that concerns Europe and also
this country as well there are many
things going on so what we are not just
talking about the current situation we
are also talking about things that are
going to happen later this year I'm sure
you know what I'm talking about yes
people have started talking about brexit
again oh my goodness mr. Duncan you are
so handsome today
Thank You Mustapha that's very kind of
you to say I don't know why I look so
handsome today maybe it's because I had
a nice sleep I had a lovely sleep last
night so maybe that's the reason why
hello also - if Mohammed Irene Lali Lali
nice to see you as well
come on Blackbird don't be so shy I
won't know I won't hurt you I won't harm
you I just want to see you have some
food for your babies hello also to
Fatima hello to you hello to everyone we
are now up to date on the live chat
Valeria
hello Valeria
is your crumpet salty or sweet you might
say that it is savory so it is slightly
salty and of course after you put butter
on the crumpet once butter has been
added so there you can see there is
butter on top and yes I know you are
going to say mr. Duncan that is too much
butter you have too much butter on your
crumpet how Dave what no no yes do we
have Greta yes Greta Greta has something
to say Thank You Greta that's very kind
of you
how dare you how dare you criticize my
my bitter oh there was the black bird
the black bird is here the black bird is
right behind me
mr. black bird there he is
can you see the black bird oh he's gone
he's gone again he's a little bit shy
and unfortunately a very shy black bird
hello also to sujin we call if we have a
nice sleep we call it honey sleep honey
sleep I like that so we might say sweet
we had a sweet sleep or maybe we had
sweet dreams so both of those things
relate to things that are pleasant or
nice hello - Emmanuelle
I thought it was cheese on top not
butter
unfortunately well I suppose both of
those things are unhealthy however you
are right you can put cheese on top of
crumpets and can I just say cheese
especially melted cheese so if you put
some cheese on top of this crumpet and
then melt the cheese ah
it is apps
lutely delicious it is gorgeous
crumpet so I had a crumpet this morning
for my breakfast hmm mr. Duncan can you
please explain or give some examples
about attitude
thank you when we talk about attitude we
are often talking about your manner or
the way you view things around you it
can be anything really so attitude is a
very general term for the way you
interact or the way you view the world
around you your attitude maybe your
personal opinions or feelings can affect
your attitude you see so attitude is
something that you feel inside however
it is often revealed in the way you
behave so the way you behave towards
other people I think
there is about to be a very loud noise
behind me nice so your attitude is
related to your related to your manner
or the way you feel towards other things
or people so you might have a good
attitude you might be a kind person you
might have a good attitude towards other
people your attitude can be your manner
the way you view of the people the way
you treat other people so you can have a
good attitude that means you have a
positive view of life you are friendly
you respect other people maybe you enjoy
your job so you have a good positive
attitude to your job however you can
have the opposite of course it is
possible to have the opposite which is a
bad attitude so your bad attitude might
be perhaps being lazy in your job or
maybe in life maybe the way you view
other people around you maybe you treat
other people badly you have a bad
attitude your character might be unfair
or maybe you treat people badly you have
a bad attitude towards other people so
your attitude can be good or bad
your attitude is the way you view
everything around you I like to think I
like to think that I have a good
attitude
generally even though sometimes it is
difficult it is difficult to stay happy
it is difficult sometimes to stay
positive however generally I like to
think that I have a good attitude
generally good
and a pika why does the crumpet
have all of those holes the crumpet is a
very clever item of food because all of
those holes on the top they allow the
flavor of whatever you put on top to
soak in so as you can see the butter is
melting and it is going in to the
crumpet so the flavor of whatever you
put on top goes right in to the crumpet
and they are absolutely delicious when
they are heated up so there you can see
the butter is actually melting and it's
going into the holes and all it does is
it increases the flavor it increases the
flavor of the crumpet so you can put
anything on a crumpet you can put Jam so
maybe first you will put some butter on
top and then you will put some jam some
nice preserve or maybe you can put some
cheese on top I do like to do that
sometimes I like to put cheese on top of
my crumpet and then I will heat the
crumpet and the grill and the cheese
will slowly start to melt ah very nice
very nice indeed but to be honest with
you you can put anything really you
could put anything on top of crumpet I
would imagine it's it's up to you to be
honest I really think so arts B says
that's why I don't understand a girl who
is crumpet in the 1970s yes it is quite
an offensive word nowadays I think if
you if you referred to a beautiful woman
or a girl as crumpet you might get a
slap in the
face I think so so don't be too
surprised if the lady gives you a slap
or maybe she kicks you right in the
pence hello - barong nice to see you
here today lots of things going on Oh
mr. Duncan I love the bird feeder I only
wish the birds would come to feed I only
wish the birds would come are you an
early riser mr. Duncan yes I was up very
early this morning it takes me a long
time to prepare all of this there is a
lot of technology involved in bringing
this high-quality picture and also the
high quality sound to your your screen
it takes a lot of preparation so
normally I get up very early in the
morning to start preparing this all of
the technical stuff all of the equipment
and then of course afterwards I have to
decide what I'm going to say sometimes I
have no idea sometimes I will write
notes sometimes I will give you things
to look at and that's what we're doing
today today we are doing that we are
going to look at words connected to cut
and sew and also we will be looking at
some very strange English words as well
some more strange English words your
blackbird must have a nest nearby you
are right
li'l we have two black bird nests very
close to the garden so at the moment we
have two black bird nests so there are
two pairs of black birds coming to our
garden to feed not only that but there
are also some baby black birds that are
now coming into the garden so we have
some young black birds that have
recently left the nest for the first
time
hello Vanessa hello also it's the
biscuits with the butter it's different
there if we put cheese I think there are
many versions of the crumpet around the
world if you go to other parts of the
world you might see the crumpet but it
might look different it might be a
different shape it also might have
different things inside as well hello
attitude is the way you behave to other
people yes it is as I said just now you
can have a good attitude a positive
attitude or negative so you might have
someone complaining about your bad
attitude especially it work so maybe
someone will complain about your
attitude in work hello to Quran Karim I
am fasting at the moment I am fasting
right now and I'm really hungry please
stop talking about food well I thought I
would mention crumpets because I had one
for breakfast this morning
and I wanted to share it with you I hope
you don't mind
hello also I knew in watching in Vietnam
can I say a big hello to everyone in
Vietnam nice to see you here all of my
lovely vietnam students hello to you as
well also Pedro Pedro Belmont is here
today I don't have my echo unfortunately
also we have drown a vous lead hello
where are you watching at the moment
your name is very intriguing by the way
oh by the way let's have a look now I
want to have a look at some words I'm
going to put them on the screen in front
of you right now
would you like to we're going to look at
words connected to cut
and so when we talk about the word so we
quite often talk about repairing
something or making something quite
often an item of clothing so maybe you
will make an item of clothing you sew
all of the parts that are needed to make
a piece of clothing you sew them
together so quite often well most items
of clothing have some work done to make
them to create them and quite often they
will be sewn together so we say so
so sewn sewn that is the past tense of
so you are making an item of clothing
you are putting it together by attaching
pieces of cloth to each other you sew
them together let's have a look shall we
oh the other thing we might do later we
might have a little dance later very
popular I can't believe how popular our
little dance has become but it has it's
become very popular
indeed I am pleasantly surprised by how
popular my little dance has become
flyaway says the British are a little
bit morbid morbid yes I suppose so when
we talk about words like cut
I suppose we think of things that are
maybe violent or unpleasant however the
word cut can be used in many other ways
as well so let's have a look at the
words shall we here it is now I'm just
making sure I spelt it right yes
cut cut so there it is you cut something
you cut you
maybe shorten something so maybe
something long you make shorter you cut
perhaps mr. Steve will cut the grass
like last night that's what Steve did
last night he was in the garden and he
cut the grass he cut the grass by the
way on Sunday we are going to take a
look at mr. Steve's new grass is it
still growing or have the birds eaten at
all cut a very simple word and yet it is
one that can be used in many ways as we
will see later on as we go through our
list of words another word we can use if
we are talking about cut as an action is
slice slice so to cut you slice
something of course the word slice can
be used as a verb and also it can
describe something as well a slice of
bread so you are actually naming the
item you are saying what it is you are
giving it that prefix a slice of bread
you are referring to a piece of bread
that has been cut it is a slice you
might also have a slice of cake slice of
cake cannot be bad slice so this
particular word can be used as a verb
you slice something you cut something
and it can be used also as a noun slice
it is a slice of cake a slice a piece
portion
very nice here's another one and I think
this is a word I think this next word is
a word I was asked about a couple of
weeks ago slipped
so cut we can also use the word slit if
you cut something you slit
something you slit again a very simple
word but it can be used in a very I
suppose a very aggressive way we are
talking about a person who is doing harm
to themselves or to another person slit
a very interesting word one that is
often used negatively here's another one
incise incise or incise incise or in
size
that also means cut you are cutting into
something you in size something and that
is the reason why some of your teeth the
teeth that you use to cut into food are
called incisors so your teeth normally
the ones at the front they are very flat
and sharp and they are very useful for
biting and cutting into food you incise
you in size you cut quite often with
your teeth and that's why your front
teeth of the teeth at the front that are
flat are very sharp at the edges and
they are very useful for cutting into
food
here's another one oh I like this one
here's another one
carve sorry about that how I was just
attacked by a wasp did you see that wasp
just attacked me
carve once again we are using synonyms
of cut to carve something quite often we
use the word carve if we are cutting
something that is large so if you take
something very large and you cut it
slowly we say that you carve that thing
you carve a piece of meat so some people
might cut the meat slowly into smaller
pieces you carve the meat quite often
you have to use a special tool called
the carving knife a very sharp knife
that you have to use for cutting
normally into things like meat carve you
can also carve wood as well some people
like to carve wood as a form of art so a
type of art someone will cut into a
piece of wood and they will make a
certain shape maybe something that looks
like maybe a person maybe a person's
face or maybe something that is abstract
and has no form hmm very interesting
carve car here's another word now that
looks a little bit like something else
score score now this word can be used in
more than one way and I'm sure if you
are a football fan if you are a fan of
football you will know that this means
to win a goal you get the
all into the net you score a goal
however score can also be mean cut you
are using something to make a shape you
score you make a deep mark or maybe you
cut into something you score something
so this word can be used in more than
one way it can mean that your favorite
football team scores a goal yes they
scored a goal or you can cut into
something you score something you cut
into it you make a mark on something
here are some phrases now that we can
use as well phrases you can cut your
losses this is a great expression that
means you quit before you lose anymore
so maybe you are gambling and you have
lost a lot of money you decide that you
have to quit you have to stop at that
point you have to cut your losses you
are trying to prevent losing any more
money you cut your losses so in this
sense cut means finish end try to
prevent any more damage you cut your
losses maybe if you have a business and
maybe you're missing money maybe your
business is going badly you might cut
your losses cut your losses if your
business is going bad you might decide
to sell your business to someone else or
maybe you go out of business you decide
that you can't afford to lose any more
money so you cut your losses so you
might hear this used a lot in business
English to be honest that will be used a
lot in business English
Kien Tran says a great score from
Cristiano Ronaldo did I tell you that I
almost met him last year when I went to
Portugal with mr. Steve because mr.
Steve's company gave Steve a free
holiday and I went to Portugal last year
in fact it is almost a year since we
went there and there was a wedding party
taking place in the same place I was
staying and you know who was there do
you know who was actually there at the
same place I was staying yes
Ronaldo he was there Cristiano Ronaldo
was actually staying at the same place
as me Wow isn't that amazing they were
having a very noisy party because one of
the players one of the Portuguese
football players was having a wedding
reception and they did keep his awake
until very early in the morning with
their noisy music you could also take a
pay cut there we go you can take a pay
cut so again the word cut in this sense
is not used physically you are not
cutting something physically you are
using it as a phrase a term you take a
pay cut this means that you take less
money home from your job maybe they
reduce your salary they make your salary
less you earn less money you have to
take a pay cut I would imagine a lot of
people at the moment are having to do
that due to this situation that is
taking place you might have to take a
pay cut take a pay cut you have to have
a reduction in the amount of money that
you earn from your job you take a pay
cut
so that is being used figuratively it is
a figure it's figurative use think of
figurative it's not easy to say by the
way figurative we have two ways of
expressing words figurative and also
literal if you use a word literally you
are using its exact definition and
meaning normally in a practical sense so
you are actually doing it for real if
you would do something if you do it in
another way figuratively I got it right
that time figuratively it means you are
not using it in the literal sense you
are using the word but the action is not
the same yep
here's another 100 he's a nice
expression something that is better than
other things something that is superior
something that is much better than other
things you might say that the restaurant
that you went to last night is very nice
the food is very good you might say that
it is a cut above the rest a cut above
the rest it means it is much better than
the other things that are available
something is a cut above the rest a
person might describe themselves as
being a cut above the rest a cut above
the rest slightly superior something
that is better than the other things
that are being offered a cut above the
rest slightly better here's another one
yes if you take a pay cut it means the
company reduces your salary
thank you Mustapha for joining in yes
many people at the moment
thank you Quran Karim many people at the
moment have had to take a page
during the past two months yes a very
serious situation you might use the USA
as an example where millions and
millions this is incredible I don't know
about you but it blows my mind millions
and millions of people are now signing
for unemployment in the United States
not not just a few but millions each
week I think last week it was around 3
around 3 million people last week had to
sign for welfare in the United States
and I think the total number now is
maybe 15 or 20 million it's incredible
not since the Great Depression as this
happened here is another one
general cutbacks a company might make
lots of changes maybe they reduce the
amount of money that they spend on the
business maybe they are making lots of
reductions maybe they are going to
employ fewer people they make general
cutbacks so in this sense we are using
the word general as overall overall so
many things are being changed and quite
often it means a reduction things are
getting less there are general cutbacks
again another phrase that I'm sure might
be all too familiar all too familiar and
I Rita I'm not sure if Ana Rita likes
Renaldo or not Renaldo surely thinks he
is he must be a cut above the rest
he probably does he is a very good
football player to be honest he is
actually owe her snare
hello her snare thank you very much for
the compliment
can you see yeah I am so I am so
flattered you can see my dimples have
appeared I'm really flattered thank you
very much mr. Duncan you are a cut above
the rest thank you that's very kind of
you look like dimples have appeared I've
gone all giggly hello arts be but if
people travel here will soon recover our
small economy but English tourism is our
key together with some Germans and so on
yes well tourism I was talking to Steve
last night about this we were chatting
about this and I can't imagine how
anyone is going to travel anywhere for a
long time imagine that if you are if you
are running an airline or maybe you you
are running cruises on those big giant
cruise ships have you seen them some of
those cruise ships can hold 2,000 people
and at the moment none of them are
sailing none of them are going anywhere
so I think one of the hardest hit areas
will be tourism travel and the travel
industry so I'm talking about flying and
sailing I think so there will be lots of
difficulties to come I don't think for
everyone it will be business as usual I
don't think so it won't be the same for
everyone
hello to Alice Alessandra how is mr.
Steve doing you will be pleased to hear
that Steve is feeling much better I have
a feeling that it is not I don't think
it is for two reasons one Steve doesn't
seem very ill he feels unwell but he's
not really ill and the second it the
second reason is I'm alright
I haven't felt unwell I haven't had any
fever
I haven't had anything so so I'm okay
I'm I'm fighting fit
I'm is I'm is cheerful is it rainbow
hello sunshine
hello all so Eric on your Wednesday
livestream I asked you a question but
unfortunately my phone went crazy and it
posted one thing after the other and you
thought I am spamming and you didn't
answer it may I ask it again
Eric Eric Jackson you can ask the
question of course you can ask but
sometimes if if the questions come up
too often
I'm just looking through the messages
here well is it my imagination or are
there many messages today I I can't
actually keep up with the messages it's
incredible
so many messages mr. Steve will become
what I don't understand that one I don't
understand that arts be mr. Steve will
become black so you won't recognize him
I don't know how that is possible hello
I really don't know how to answer that
I'll be honest
hello Sergio Sergio seems to be becoming
irritated I don't know why
dear me in Philebus can people please
stop fighting on the live chat can we
all just get along
there is enough pain and suffering in
the world at the moment without us
creating any more please
well I can't we all just get along oh
hello the Sun has come out well there is
suddenly a ray of sunlight it's almost
as if clouds have parted and the Sun is
now shining on me you know what they say
they say that the Sun always shines on
the righteous little maybe not
here is another cut that is quite funny
because behind me they are cutting the
trees
how strange so I suppose it is very
suitable to be talking about words
connected to cut because behind me
people are cutting down the trees and
making lots of noise as well you can
also cut to the chase
cut to the chase I like this if you cut
to the chase it means you get to the
point don't keep talking just tell me
what you want
just please can you cut to the chase cut
to the chase please hurry up get on with
it
stop wasting my time can you please cut
to the chase it is a great expression so
when we say cut it means we want to move
forward very quickly you cut something
so you can move forward very quickly you
cut to the chase you move ahead quickly
you get to the point
sometimes people say mr. Duncan you talk
too much
can you please cut to the chase okay
alright alright here's another one you
might cut off someone whoa that sounds
painful you might cut off someone if you
cut someone off
it means you remove them from your life
you cut off someone it means you have no
more contact with them or maybe you
don't view them as part of your family
you cut off someone you disconnect from
them you don't want to know them anymore
you cut off someone maybe you are going
to leave some money in your will but
then you change your mind so you cut off
the money you cut off that person you
remove them from your will must effort
yes yes must ever cut to the chase means
hurry up hurry up get to the point what
is the point mr. Duncan please hurry up
you can cut out something now this once
again can be used in many ways to cut
out something is to remove or stop doing
something you can cut out something for
example you might decide to have a diet
you might decide to eat less food so you
will cut out all of the unhealthy food
from your diet the things you eat you
will cut out all of the unhealthy food
for example hmm for example you might
cut out crumpets
with butter you see so you might decide
to go on a diet but as part of your diet
you will cut out all of that unhealthy
fat and that includes crumpets and
butter mr. Duncan you really should
you really should cut out all of that
unhealthy food cut out you cut out
something you stopped doing it so there

that was taken from full English 29 not
28 but 29 welcome here we go English
addict is live again
doo-doo-doo-doo come on look the band
I've paid you for the whole hour
not really I pressed the wrong button
again I'm outside and one of the strange
things today that the Sun keeps coming
out and it's very shocking when it
suddenly happens because my eyes for a
moment I can't see anything
I'm literally blinded by the light
literally that was a song wasn't it that
was a song many years ago blinded by the
light who had a hit with that I can't
remember who it was now blinded by the
light oh my goodness that was a very
very old song indeed hello leo hello
also Quran Karim hello to Belarus as we
use Hux we use hooks in dentistry you
are right I know many a time I've been
lying in the dentist's chair and they've
used the hook to get rid of all of that
hard tartar tartar so on your teeth
quite often that you will get a buildup
of it looks like calcium in fact it
might be but it builds up slowly on your
teeth over time so when you have to go
to the dentist they will try to remove
the tartar from your teeth it builds up
over time and they use one of these
horrible big hooks they put the hook in
your mouth and they get rid of all of
that horrible tartar between your teeth
so to be honest with you I don't like I
don't like that to be honest when I go
to the dentist not that I have to worry
at the moment because you can't go to
the dentist at the moment the dentists
are all closed which I suppose in a
strange way is good news for me
hello - oh hello fly away also
hello also - JC Jordi hello JC Jordi
there was also snowblind from a group
called Black Sabbath oh yes
Black Sabbath great group heavy metal
who remembers heavy metal Black Sabbath
ac/dc Motorhead r.i.p Lemmy hello Koran
hello Quran Karim hello he's tar tar
black no it isn't it is white it is like
calcium and it forms around your teeth
between your teeth in your gums so and
that's one of the reasons why sometimes
you can have problems with your gums so
the tartar will build up on your teeth
and then it will push your gums back and
that's when you can have lots of
problems with your teeth
hello huzzah hooks are very useful they
are used as hangers yes one of the most
useful things to have around is a hook
hooks are brilliant a brilliant
invention a very simple thing however
also very useful we're going to have a
look at some words we looked at cut
earlier today you're also going to look
at repairing things quite often we think
of this word to mean repair you put
something together quite often clothing
so when you make clothing when you make
clothes you will often do this action
it's a long way down there oh dear one
of the problems with being very tall is
when you bend over it seems it seems
like a very long way down there when you
bend so when you pick something up it
seems like a very long way to travel
here we go then and the word we are
going to use is a Ning so so s e W so
this are quite often is used as a verb
you sew something you put something
together you stitch something together
quite often when you make clothing or
perhaps and this is something my mother
used to do I remember when I was a child
I would always wear out my socks and
sometimes my trousers I would get holes
in my trousers and my mother would sew
up the holes she would sew my trousers
and also she would sew my socks a lot of
people used to do that nowadays we just
throw them away because we have become
so wasteful but so you will sew your
clothes if you want to repair them you
might have to put a button can you see
there there is a little button sometimes
your button will come off and then you
have to fix it back on you will have to
sew the button back on so a very simple
word and yet it is one bit
it's very expressive as well an action
to repair something to put something
together quite often clothing you will
stitch you will sew material together to
make clothing clothes as I just said
another word we can use and it's the
word I just used a few moments ago we
can also use the word stitch stitch
again you are using this as both a verb
and noun so stitch is the action of
doing it so you stitch something
together you stitch you join two things
together you connect them together
normally with something else you stitch
them together
also the word stitch can mean the thing
that you've done so the actual thing is
stitch you can see there on my shirt
there are stitches on my shirt lots of
stitches going along stitch stitch so
this particular word can be used as both
a verb and noun as well stitch
another way of using this word by the
way have you ever been running have you
ever run and you've been running for a
while and then suddenly you get a pain
in your stomach it feels as if the
muscles are contracting sometimes it's
very painful you can get a pain and
quite often it's because you've strained
the muscles your stomach muscles or your
abdominal muscles you've strained them
and sometimes you will get a stitch and
that's what we call it so if you've been
running for a long time sometimes you
might get all a pain in your stomach and
it is actually the muscles you are
working the muscles too much and they
suddenly become very painful you get a
stitch oh I've got to stop running oh
I've got a stitch whoa it can be quite
painful as well getting a stitch when
you are running flyaway says wow it's
difficult this English it can be but of
course you have lots of things to keep
you occupied busy and of course lots of
new words as well oh he's an interesting
one darn darn if you sew something we
can say that you darn as well darn so
this word is quite old-fashioned you
don't often hear people use this word
however it is still used in the
profession if you are a professional
person maybe you make wedding dresses
maybe you put wedding dresses together I
think I'm going to sneeze excuse me
you
because it's been dry today there was a
lot of pollen in the air so my hay fever
today started being very annoying very
annoying indeed darn it is another word
for stitch or so quite often used in the
profession so maybe a professional
person who makes clothes perhaps perhaps
they make wedding dresses they will go
to their shop or their studio and they
will make a dress for the bride isn't
that nice very nice maybe one day I will
get married and I will wear white so up
you sew up something again we are
talking about an action you sew up you
join two things together by sewing them
together
that was my neighbor's cock so up you
sew up something you repair something
with stitches it's all sewn up this is a
great expression so we are using the
word so in an expression it is all sewn
up it means it has been completed it is
finished is it's all sewn up
it's finished it has been completed all
of the business has been done
you
sorry about that hmm
beautiful beautiful water delicious
water hmm very nice where was I it's all
sewn up
it's finished it's completed I have
finished doing my business I don't have
to do any more because it's all sewn up
it is finished it's been completed we
can also if you finish a deal
quite often in business English you will
say you sew up a deal you sew up a deal
it use so up you finish the deal you
bring all of the things together and
then you complete the deal you sew up a
deal again we use this in business
English you sew up a deal you complete
the deal it is a very active day around
here
a lot of people are really getting back
to work it would appear that it is now
business as usual for many people here's
another one to stitch someone up or to
stitch up someone maybe you create a
situation where a person is guilty or
appears to be guilty of doing something
but they weren't they weren't actually
responsible you stitch someone up
it means you frame a person you make it
appear as if they've done something
wrong when they haven't you stitch up
someone or maybe you set
someone up to be caught doing something
wrong so if a person is doing something
wrong and you have arranged for the
police to catch them we can say that you
stitch up someone to stitch up someone a
wonderful expression I can't believe it
he's he stitched me up he stitched me up
it's a stitch up it's all been arranged
it's a stitch up is what they say so the
person who has been caught maybe maybe
someone told the police that that person
was going to do something bad you can
say it's a stitch up it's a stitch up
it's a stitch up you might hear that
said quite often in TV shows or movies
you stitch something together this is an
action you stitch something together you
put two things together and then you
attach them to each other by adding
stitches you stitch two things together
you stitch them together so you stitch
things you stitch one thing to another
stitch very different to stick so some
people get confused between the word
stick and stitch stick means means you
put the surfaces together so stick is
when you take two surfaces and you put
them together stick
stitch is when you join two things
together and you stitch them to each
other
stitch stick stitch stick
finally oh he's he's an interesting
phrase
to do with sewing can you believe that
sewing has become very popular here in
the UK we even have our own television
show
there is a television program where lots
of people try to sew they so lots of
lovely clothes they put clothing
together and they call it the Great
British sewing bee and there it is
sewing bee is it did a strange phrase
sewing bee so in this sense the word B
means group a group of people who get
together to practice or do something
that they enjoy maybe a hobby or a
pressed time we call it a sewing bee
sewing can you believe that sewing has
become a very popular pastime here in
the UK I know a lot of people may find
it boring but sewing some people like to
repair their clothing when it becomes
old in worn they repair the clothing to
make it as good as new
I think so I like that I like it a lot
sorry about that
it seems to be getting quiet now it
seems to be a little quieter than it was
earlier the only thing I'm going to say
is that we haven't had any birds come to
my bird feeder so I put my bird feeder
right there behind me and we haven't had
any birds come unfortunately
Joe says sowing bees are very popular in
Europe yes it's interesting how they
call it the be sewing bee so people will
get together and they will share their
enjoyment of a certain hobby quite often
it is something that you do with your
hands
something creative sewing bee a sewing
be very interesting what is the
difference between a suit sowe're and
tailor a tailor is a person who makes
clothing normally individually so quite
often you will go to to the tailor and
the tailor will make an item of clothing
for you normally for men so a tailor
will design and make clothes for men
tailor a person who is a sower or a
seamstress is a woman or maybe a person
who makes clothing for women so you
might say a dressmaker a dressmaker is a
person who makes dresses for women
usually and a tailor is a person who
makes clothing for men I hope that
answers your question
Valeria Valeria hello to you

person ah mr. Duncan I have a silly
question
a silly question do you keep the papers
you print in a portfolio or do you just
throw them away I hope you keep them
because you'd put a lot of effort in to
doing them yes I do I preserve
everything that I create so all of the
things that I create are preserved so
you have the paper the printed paper and
also I keep everything also in my
computer as well so if I lose my paper
maybe it becomes damaged I can always
print off something else I can print it
again
but yes you are yeah that's a very good
question actually it's a very good
question yes I do keep everything I
create most of it is sorted and then I
put it away and maybe one day I will use
it again who knows sometimes it is nice
to look back and see the things that
I've talked about in my previous lessons
so to answer your question yes I do I do
ana pica says fortunately I have never
broken any bones I think that is a good
thing yes if you can get through your
life without breaking any bones
unfortunately mr. Steve is not so lucky
unfortunately mr. Steve is not so
fortunate mr. Steve broke his ankle in a
car crash

hi mr. Duncan can you help me is it
correct to say I would have preferred
you to be rich but I'm happy with it
I would have preferred you to be rich
but I'm happy with the way you are yes
you might say happy with it but that's
normally in response or added on to
another sentence so that sentence that
you given me is out of context but
normally in a conversation you might be
discussing that situation so you are
saying that you are happy with it
and when you say it you mean the
situation the situation that you are
both in however what I also might say is
I would have preferred you to be rich
but I'm happy with the way things are
I'm happy with the way things are it
means it doesn't matter I'm happy with
the things as they are it doesn't matter
I would have preferred you to have been
rich but I'm happy with you just the way
you are sometimes money can be useful
but it isn't everything it isn't
everything

Oh mr. Duncan this is a very strange
word I don't know what this word is mr.
Duncan please tell us can you please
tell us what this word is okay I will
you asked me so nicely I will tell you
this word is pronounced spiel spiel a
person who does something in a certain
way may be something that is rehearsed
or done as a type of performance may be
things that are said as a routine or
maybe as a small performance something
that a person does quite often in their
job may be a person will be I don't know
selling may be a person is a Salesman or
a saleswoman and they have a certain way
of doing something they will say things
in a certain way to perform their job we
call it spiel spiel it sounds German
and that's because it is it is a german
word but we also use it in english
spheal
you are saying things doing things in a
certain way quite often we will use it
maybe negatively if a person is trying
to sell something to us we might say oh
please I don't need I don't need your
spiel I don't need your spiel I keep
doing that today excuse me I don't know
why I keep banging my hand on something
here and it's very annoying excuse me a
moment
very annoying so there it is if I can
get it the right way up spiel a person
who talks in a certain way does just
things in a certain way
normally in their job if they are
memorising a certain way of selling
something you go through a performance
it is a little bit like performing your
spiel the things that you have to say
spiel a Salesman will say things to get
you to buy the product he will use spiel
he will use certain words certain
phrases certain ways of trying to
persuade you to buy the product he will
use spiel it's a great word you could
also pronounce it spiel as well some
people will pronounce it spiel some
people will pronounce it a in the form
that it's supposed to be pronounced
spiel which is German you are using
words in a certain way Lille yes you are
right it is a German word oh here's
another one this is a word that is used
a lot in English so this is a word that
is a real word I'm not making these
words up even though some people think I
am you pronounce this garnishee
garnishee this is quite often used in
legal terms in law quite often if you
owe money to a company or group of
people someone else is allowed to come
and take that money that you earn so for
example maybe your salary someone will
take some of your salary away to pay the
bills or maybe you have a debt
maybe you owe money to someone and
unfortunately you haven't paid any money
for a long time then another person
might come along and they will take some
of your salary to pay the bill
we call it garnishee garnishee
so this is used in in law to mean a
third party who is allowed to come along
and take money so as to pay off debt
maybe you have borrowed some money from
the bank or maybe you have a mortgage
you've borrowed some money from the bank
to buy a house however you have not been
paying the money back so the company
that you owe the money to
will take you to court and they will
garnishee your salary they will be able
force someone to take the money from
your salary so quite often if you use
this word quite often it is when you
have got to the point where you Oh
someone a lot of money if you owe money
to someone if you have to give someone
money that you've borrowed in law they
can make you give the money back they
will take it from you
they will garnishee your salary they will
take the money from you it does happen a
lot including here in the UK as well so
you can have your salary or some of your
salary taken away by force if you don't
pay the bills especially if you owe
money to someone else maybe a credit
card maybe you owe money on a credit
card here's another one swathe ah
swathe you are enjoying something slave
embrace fold your arms swathe you are
carried away by the moment swathe swathe
isn't that lovely sway I like that word
I think I might swathe after this lesson
has finished sways oh I might drift away
into my own little world good to think
of it I exist in my own little world
anyway I don't need to go there I'm
already there here we have another one
another legal word so this is another
word that is used in law you may have
heard this word being used in I don't
know maybe some sort of TV show about
the police and the law here it is
oh yes mr. Duncan that is the very
interesting word this is pronounced
subpoena subpoena what I hear you ask is
a subpoena when we say subpoena we mean
an order from maybe the police or maybe
from another lawyer to appear in court
so you can be forced to appear in court
maybe as a witness or maybe as the
defense for a person who is in trouble
with the police they will issue they
will give you a subpoena subpoena Wow
I like this word it's a very
unusual-looking word it doesn't look
real however it is subpoena you can give
someone a subpoena you can also use it
as a verb you can also
Pina someone which means that you are
forcing them you are telling them that
they must come to court they have to
appear maybe as a witness or maybe they
have to give some evidence and they have
to do it they can't say no it's
incredible
but it does happen subpoena to force a
person to appear in court or quite often
to give evidence as well
you can subpoena evidence that means you
force someone to give the evidence they
have no choice it is the law interesting
that one hello to Mali are very useful
words mr. Duncan thank you
Sergio is here very interesting
conversations taking place today on the
live chat thank you very much yes
subpoena the person who can force you to
be in court you have no choice so if
they subpoena you you have to go to
court so maybe you've done nothing wrong
but maybe you have some evidence that
they need and you are the only person
that can give that evidence they will
tell you that you must go to court I
think maybe one day one day we will do a
lesson all about words and phrases
connected to law would that be good
would you like that yes I think so
yes here's our final word so this is our
final weird unusual word for today or
mr. Duncan what does that mean Shara
bang a Shara bang
quite often a group of people who will
go away somewhere they will go away on a
shower bank however in its original form
this meant an old type of cart that
would carry many people at the same time
a shower bank and that's how you
pronounce it so it isn't
sharra bank we actually pronounce this
word shower bank a large group of people
go away on an outing they go to a place
and they visit a certain area or a
location and they go together they go
they take a shower bang however in its
original form it meant an old form of
transport that many people could use at
the same time it's not an interesting
word shower bang it is real and we still
use it however quite often we use it in
a different form from its original use
that is it we've almost come to the end
