yeah here we go again
it's a Sunday afternoon here in England I don't know what time it is where you
are because I'm not there hello and welcome hi everybody this is mr. Duncan
in England how are you today are you okay I hope so are you happy I
hope so so here we go again it's another live
English hasn't the week gone quickly it's gone so fast
I can't believe how fast this week has gone on Tuesday I thought the week was
going slowly but then on Thursday I thought the week was going very quickly
isn't that strange so here we are all together and I'm a little bit annoyed
today because I haven't had a good shave I haven't had a very good shave I always
like to have a shave on a Sunday morning I like to shave my face so I look all
lovely and smooth but today I I don't feel as if I've had a good shave
I'm sure the men will understand what I mean and maybe some women is will
but today I don't feel as if I've had a good shave some days some days I have a
lovely shave it feels as if my face is like a baby's bottom
but today my face feels a little bit rough even though I've had a shave do
you know what I mean I'm sure many many men will understand what I mean unless
of course you have a beard in which case you might not know so here we go it is
Sunday it is the end of July tomorrow is the last day of July it's almost time to
say goodbye to July it's almost time to say to tart to July August is just
around the corner and of course August well for me August is a special month
because it's my birthday in August so on the 12th of August I know this is very
shameless promotion and it does appear it would appear as if I'm trying to get
you to send me gifts and cards but it isn't it's nothing like that
I'm just mentioning because it's an interesting fact that on August the 12th
I will be another year older so on the 12th of August it is my birthday I won't
be with you on my birthday I'm very sorry about that I know last year I did
my livestream last year on my birthday but this year we won't be but I will be
with you on the day after my birthday so my birthday is on the 12th of August and
I will be live on YouTube the following day on the 13th of August don't forget
you can catch me here every Sunday I am live on YouTube every single Sunday from
2:00 p.m. UK time and here we are once again I think today was I on time today
I was actually on time normally I'm two or three minutes late
but today I was actually on time in fact I'm going to write that down because
that's a very memorable moment Sunday the 30th of July mr. Duncan was actually
live on time oh there we go I will remember that moment forever so
what's coming today well in a moment I will tell you because we have lots of
things to come today we have so many things and at 3 o'clock today we have a
special guest in the studio Oh My giddy aunt so we have a lot of things to come
this week I've been very busy I went to visit my mum during the week I went to
see my mummy thanks to all those who asked about my mother I get a lot of
people writing to me asking how my mother is my mother is okay thank you
very much I went to see her now when I arrived at my mum's house during the
week I went to see her and outside was her dustbin the place where she puts all
of her rubbish and inside there was a piece of wood inside the dustbin now the
reason why the bin was outside her house was because it was being collected to be
emptied but can you believe it the people who take the rubbish away they
refused to take it they refused because there was a piece of wood inside the bin
so they rejected it and can you believe it they also took a photograph of the
inside of the bin I'm not joking this really did happen so
a question that I would like to ask today do you think it is fair to enforce
recycling now I can see why they did it because they don't want the piece of
wood inside the bin they want it to go to a place where it can be recycled but
do you think it's fair to to enforce to force people to bully
them into recycling their old junk what do you think so that's what happened
this week I arrived at my mum's house and the bin was still full and inside
there was a piece of wood so the dust men the refuse collectors refused to
take the rubbish away because there was a piece of wood inside the bin so what
do you think should we enforce recycling should we make people recycle even if it
means refusing to empty their bins so what do you think about that so that was
what greeted me the other day when I arrived at my mother's house also this
week I had to have my chimney swept the chimney at the top of my house had to be
cleaned now this is something that we used to see a hundred years ago or even
two hundred years ago people would come in clean your chimney and about 150
maybe 200 years ago they used to send children up into the chimney to clean
the chimneys can you believe it could you imagine if that happened now if we
sent children up into the chimney to clean them so that I had that done this
week it sounds like something that you don't do anymore it sounds like a
profession that doesn't exist but it still does exist there are still people
who clean your chimney but it sounds very old-fashioned doesn't it it sounds
like something that people don't have anymore
or they don't have done but people here in the UK still have their chimneys
swept another profession that sounds out of date is cobbler do you know what a
cobbler is a cobbler is a person who repairs shoes now you would think that
nowadays there aren't cobblers but there are
there are still cobblers in existence and they fix or they mend your shoes so
in your shoes become worn they will mend them and they are called cobblers
cobblers is also a very rude word but I won't tell you why and I won't tell you
what it means not today anyway also the ongoing saga concerning my new
neighbor now the person who lives next door to me
they recently sold their house so now the house has been sold but I'm now
waiting for the new neighbor to arrive but it hasn't happened yet so still
there is no new neighbor living next door to me still nothing but as soon as
I find out I will let you know ok ok so what is coming today we have lots of
things we have the live chat we have some excerpts from my full English
lessons don't forget I have lots and lots of lessons on my youtube channel
and all of my lesson playlists are under this video so all of my lessons
everything that I've made during the past 10 years yes 10 years I've been on
YouTube for over 10 years I am one of the original youtubers did you know that
and Here I am still doing it in fact in October it will be my 11th
year on YouTube so now I've been making my videos for nearly 11 years on YouTube
can you believe it and I'm still here doing it so if you want to watch any of
my lessons you can find all of the playlists under this video and of course
I also have a YouTube channel the YouTube channel is on your screen
now a lot of people ask why do you call it Duncan in China now the reason why I
call it Duncan in China is because I created this channel whilst living in
China so that's the reason why Oh yesterday yes today
mr. Steve and me we did something lovely yesterday do you want to see what we did
yesterday we went for a lovely walk into town yesterday and during the walk we
came across the Bulls that live in the back of my house and here they are
looking very inquisitive they look very curious they are wondering what is going
on oh look one of them is coming towards me now isn't that lovely yes a very
curious bull so these are the Bulls that live at the back of my house and in a
moment mr. Steve is going to start feeding them they look very curious oh
there's my favorite that's my favorite bull they're the one with the brown
patches on its eyes I think it's such a such a cute bull now they are all coming
down and there is mr. Steve feeding them giving them some leaves from the trees
oh isn't that lovely I love cows and bulls so much they are so lovely there
is something strangely mystical about cows and bulls I think there's something
about their eyes that always makes me feel a little sympathetic I always feel
a little bit sorry for cows I don't know why because they always look so sad
there is something about their eyes I was talking to Steve last night about
this and I said I always think that when I look at a cow it looks as if they want
to say something to me but they can't I don't know why there's something very
strange about animals certain animals when you look at them it seems as if
they want to say something to you or is it just me
is that just my imagination aren't they lovely and there is mr. Steve he seems
to be enjoying himself they're feeding the bulls so that's what we were doing
yesterday we went for a walk into town and then on the way back we met the
Bulls that live at the back of our house aren't they lovely ah hello mr. bull
there is mr. Steve once again I love their tongues cows have very long
tongues and they are very rough to the touch Oh aren't they lovely so that's
what we were doing yesterday we were feeding the cows or should I say bulls
because they are not lady cows they're actually bulls so that's what they are
I've got a fly in here as well today a very annoying fly in my studio it keeps
landing on me so I have a feeling that fly is going to be very annoying today I
have a fly in the studio I can't stand flies
I nearly got it so live chat is up in running some people do complain they
complain because they say mr. Duncan why do you keep saying hello to people why
do you keep saying hello to people all the time well it's because I want to
that's the reason why I want to Julie G is here so our first hello today goes to
Julie hi Julie thanks for joining me on this Sunday afternoon here in the UK it
is now coming up to 20 past 2:00 in the afternoon on a Sunday lots of things
coming up today lots of questions as well questions that I would like to ask
there first of all what is the most boring sport now over the past few days
here in the UK people have been talking about sport cricket of course was taking
place I think there was there was actually a cricket match taking place
yesterday and also recently we had some golf tournaments and next week here in
the UK the football season starts so next week we have the football season
beginning but not everyone likes sport and between you and me some sports are
actually quite boring some sports are not very interesting so what do you
think the most boring sport is I have my own idea I will tell you what it is
later but what do you think the most boring sport is not the most exciting
because there are lots of exciting sports that you can take part in and
watch but what do you think is the most boring sport and between you and me some
of them are very very boring indeed also here's an interesting question
have you ever injured yourself have you ever caused yourself
injury so to injure yourself is to damaged part of your body if you damaged
part of your body we call it an injury so injury is the noun that names the
thing that has been damaged so injury you have an injury you have injured
yourself some people injure themselves by accident some people injure
themselves on purpose have you ever injured yourself and
what's the worst injury you have ever suffered so something that has happened
to your body that has harmed it maybe you have cut yourself by accident maybe
you have bumped your head or maybe you've broken a bone
have you ever injured yourself and what was the injury what was the worst injury
you have ever suffered I'm going to tell you my worst injury now the worst thing
that's ever happened to me in the form of an injury when I was a child I was
playing in my back garden and I trod on a nail a piece of wood had a nail
sticking out and I trod on the nail I actually trod on it I stepped on a nail
and the nail went into my foot it was very very painful I was screaming like a
baby it was it was most unpleasant so the worst injury I've ever had is
stepping on a nail I once I once stepped on a nail and the nail went into my foot
so what is the worst injury that you have ever had what is it what's the
worst injury you have ever suffered we have a mystery guest coming
in today we have someone coming in today but who is it I will be asking them the
same question so later on at 3 o'clock we have a special guest coming in and I
will be asking them the same question what is the worst injury the worst
injury they've ever had in their life Patricia is here hello Patricia Patricia
is watching in France a big Bonjour to you welcome along DeRusha Chima says I
am Chema or Kaymer from Algeria how are you doing sir I'm doing okay I've had a
pretty good week I went to see my mother during the week she's still keeping very
well thank you very much for asking my tongue my tongue says hello mr. Duncan

Pierre and Irene is here today Nicole is here hello Nicole nice to see you again
Olga is watching in Moscow lovely to see you how old will you be on your next
birthday Oh a lot of people are very interested in my age I don't know why
Khaled Fidel says hello mr. Duncan greetings from Egypt it looks as if you
have had a good shave your beard seems as if it was shaved well I'm not too
sure it doesn't feel very good today I don't feel as if I've had a good shave I
don't know what it is some days you have very good shaves and it feels very close
and smooth but other days it feels as if you haven't shaved it all I don't know
why that is it's very strange Jamelia is here Thank You Jamelia for
joining me today we are talking also today about something we all do from
time to time sometimes we do it for good reasons and sometimes we do it for
selfish reasons lies today we are talking about lies later on we will take
a look at a lesson all about lies do you ever tell lies do you have a tell lies
do you think it's a good idea to tell lies do you think that sometimes it is a
good thing to tell lies so do you ever tell lies and has ever anyone ever told
you a lie has anyone ever told you a lie so that's something we'll be looking at
later we will be taking a look at a lesson all about lying right now we are
going to take a look at one of my full English lessons and this is an excerpt
from one of my full English lessons this is taken from full English number five
hi everybody and welcome to mr. Duncan's full English number five I thought I
would start off today's edition with a selfie just in case you're watching this
in 2050 and you don't know what to sell for years I'm not going to tell you and
you won't be able to ask me in person because I'm dead oh there you are
hi everybody this is mr. Jenkins full English number five my name is mr.
Duncan and I'm ever so pleased to meet you we are all here again to take a peek
into that wonderful world of English so let us all join hands and say the magic
words for goodness sake mr. Duncan we haven't got all day get on with it
can you see what sort of weather we're having here today well there is poor
visibility for a start it isn't a clear day by any means it is a foggy day here
in England we can use foggy as an idiom to describe the inability to remember
something we can say I haven't the foggiest idea which means you do not
remember or you cannot recall a certain event or a piece of information today is
fog has been caused by warm and the cold air colliding with each other this fog
is made up of tiny particles of moisture you often see fog forming in the early
morning or evening or as the temperature changes the subject of weather is a
fascinating one and for the typical English person such as myself it is a
subject that is often discussed in general day-to-day conversation the two
words shown here may look similar but they are in fact very different the
words perspective and prospective are often confused that is to say one is
used instead of the other first of all the word perspective defines the way in
which things are seen how an object appears depending on its size shape and
relative distance from other things around it in drawing and
painting perspective is used to give the illusion of depth and distance we can
also use this word to express a person's view of the world as their point of view
a person's perspective of the world the views and opinions held by us all come
from our own perspective then there is the word prospective which means
something that is expected or is expecting to be done in the future
something that is likely to happen at a later date is prospective I have a
prospective client coming to my office tomorrow so now there is no need to get
these words confused ever again I have given you a clearer perspective of what
the differences are I have done this for you now and for all the prospective
online students who will join me in the future can you see what I have here this
is a saucepan full of boiling water the hot water is producing steam steam is
produced when water vaporizes normally water vapor cannot be seen but it is
possible to show it when extreme temperatures are used for example when
hot vapor meets cool air this is one of the ways in which clouds are formed the
process is called evaporation the word steam can be used in other ways for
example a person can let off steam this expression means that a person will
release their tension and pent up energy by doing
the action is normally a physical one such as going for a run having a dance
or in extreme cases screaming out loud it would be fair to say that we all need
to let off steam at some point it's time to take a look
at another part of English grammar continuing the theme of punctuation that
we started in the last full English today we will take a look at the dreaded
apostrophe this particular punctuation mark is a controversial one as its use
has been widely disputed over the years even now there seems to be some
confusion over how it should be used in general English the apostrophe serves
two purposes to show the possessive quality of something and to show that a
word has been shortened or a sentence has been made shorter in the possessive
sense the apostrophe shows that one thing belongs to another for example
Duncan's pen Jill's pencil st. Paul's Cathedral the apostrophe can come at the
end of the possessive word for example the teacher's college is over there a
commonly confused use of the apostrophe comes with the word it's the apostrophe
here shows the contraction of it is it's my birthday today when the apostrophe is
not used then the possessive tense is being expressed a mouse has no fur on
its tail another common mistake made with the apostrophe is to use it to show
the plural of ordinary words this is incorrect once again
' is only used when you wish to show a possessive clause or the contraction of
a word or sentence so there we go a full English lesson guess what I was doing
well that was playing I was chasing the fly around the studio trying to catch it
I've managed to get it out of the studio now so fortunately the fly has gone
another full english clip coming later on we are now live on YouTube lots of
things to come your way today we have lots of questions as well including what
is the most boring sport have you ever injured yourself what is
the worst injury you have ever suffered in your life what is the worst injury
that you've ever had and as I just mentioned what is the most boring sport
I'm getting lots of people sending me their messages and thank you very much
once again also coming up later on at 3 o'clock we have look waiting in the
corner well at the moment there is no one there but at 3 o'clock today we have
a special guest going into the studio he isn't there yet but he will be right
here at 3 o'clock in just around about 25 minutes who is it who will it be can
you guess can you guess who the mystery guest will
be I was talking about old-fashioned jobs earlier apparently there are many
yes some people do still have cobblers in their countries so we have them here
people who repair shoes do you know what a milliner is a milliner do you know
what a milliner is do you know what they do if you think
you know what a milliner does it's just one I've just thought of in my head it's
just popped in my head do you know what a milliner does and
also a Cooper do you know what a Cooper does a Cooper it's a type of job I don't
think it exists anymore and of course I mentioned earlier chimney sweeping we
still have people who come around to our houses to clean our chimneys but of
course in Victorian times they used to send children it's true they used to
send children up the chimneys to clean all of the set from out of the chimneys
they used to send them up there not anymore though you'll be pleased to hear
we don't do it anymore Pierre says mr. Duncan you have lovely soft skin you are
forever forever young mentally and physically oh thank you very much Pierre
for that that is very kind of you Estella says barber is another old
fashioned job yes going to the barber the barber will cut your hair and quite
often also shave you as well so barber we still have barbers here barbers tend
to be people who cut and shave men they cut their hair and shave them Oh lots of
people reacting to the cows earlier well in fact they're not cows there are
actually bulls there are some bulls in the field Thank You Ari for your message
as well the fly has now left the studio I have got rid of it it has gone tatyana
says I think the most boring sport is chess
maybe yes chess is not very exciting to watch but I do believe that it's very
exciting to play so if you are taking part in the game apparently it's very
exciting not for me because I don't know how to play chess I don't play chess
myself and yes I think you are right there Tatyana chess is quite boring to
watch I think so Olga says curling seems to be the most boring sport to me
curling I want to cry I want to remember what curling is is curling when you you
push a piece of stone along the surface of ice is that it is that where you you
push a piece of stone along some ice and then you have to see whose stone gets
nearest to the center mark is that right am i right there is that what curling is
it sounds boring isn't it so yes it might be one of the most boring sports
so that is the question today what is the most boring sport to watch or
participate in have you ever been to Brazil no I've never been to Brazil ever
tongue lamb says do you like tennis and I think the most boring sport is rugby
ah Estela has made a suggestion here golf
is quite boring I think thank you Estella for that
hi mr. Duncan how are you I'm watching you from Pakistan thank you uma Umer
Farooq is watching Shan Luna juin says businessmen enjoy playing golf yes they
do businessmen it is a common pastime for businessmen and of course people who
think they are very wealthy so if you go to the golf club or if you tell your
friends that you play goal your friends will think you are very
sophisticated and maybe quite wealthy Chung Lam says mr. Duncan a while ago I
broke some of my bones that is another question we're asking today
have you ever injured yourself so Tong lamina joe says yes while I was
rollerblading I broke some of my bones oh dear that doesn't sound good does it
I hope you're feeling okay now I hope you have recovered from your broken
bones when you break a bone in your body we call it a fracture fracture so when
you break a bone in your body wherever it is in your body we call it a fracture
fracture o'Barr omar Wahab says I think the most boring sport is running I think
so a lot of people like watching athletics for example during the Olympic
Games they have lots of athletic events including running so yes some people
might think that that is boring to watch mr. Duncan I don't like sports except
figure skating and artistic gymnastics gymnastics gymnastics I think I would be
very good at gymnastics because I'm very slim so I think I would be very good at
gymnastics sort of flipping over and maybe doing the splits I've never tried
doing the splits well not intentionally anyway what sport do you like mr. Duncan
I don't really follow sport very much but the football season is starting next
week we are going into another football season and of course at the moment there
are lots of sporting events taking place we have cricket taking place Nicole says
I think the most boring sport is tennis mr. Duncan I have to agree with you it
is one of the most boring sports to watch I don't think it's very exciting
to watch that's just my opinion so every year here in the UK we have a big tennis
tournament at Wimbledon in London but I don't tend to watch tennis I think
tennis is not very exciting to watch but as far as I'm concerned it isn't the
most boring sport there is another sport that I think is very very boring to
watch can you guess what it is Jerry Mouse says hi mr. Duncan what does
what's up mean it means hi what's up what's going on hey what's going on
Antonio good morning everybody Thank You Antonia for joining me today
Bruno Moreno is here as well Patricia says I broke my leg in a skiing accident
do you know what I can never understand why people ski I don't see the point of
it because it's such a dangerous sport every single year lots of people get
injured skiing they fall off and they break a leg or maybe an arm or maybe an
arm and a leg or sometimes even worse they they injure their neck or or they
they die so I think skiing is a very dangerous sport it's not necessarily
boring to watch I think it's quite exciting to watch because you don't know
what's gonna happen next you always expect the person doing the skiing to to
fall over to fall over and break something Thank You Patricia for that
Simone is here hello I'm Simone from Italy and now I am
living here in the UK I'm in the UK in Buxton ah
very nice part of the world Buxton in Derbyshire I think that fly has come
back I just saw the fly again I think it's
come back how annoying hello mr. Duncan I am from El Salvador
Thank You Antoniou for saying hello to me as well we have the mystery idioms
don't worry I haven't forgot we have the mystery idioms and we are about to
reveal them because we are now 15 minutes away from three o'clock
here come the mystery idioms lots of people love watching the the mystery
idioms they love trying to guess what they are so here they come these are two
expressions in English and all you have to do is guess what the mystery idioms
are what are today's mystery idioms here is the first one so here is today's
first mystery idiom all you have to do is say what you see what do you see just
say what you see and here is today's second mystery it I'm being attacked by
a fly at the moment there is actually a fly attacking me I'm going to I've got
my I've got my little spray bottle here I'm going to spray this fly in a moment
to try and get rid of it it's come back so there is today's first mystery idiom
and he was the second one so they are today's mystery idioms but what are they
here is the first one and the second one but what are they they are both
well-known expressions in English but what are they I will of course reveal
the answers later on do you ever tell lies do you ever tell fibs fib a fib is
slang word for lie to lie to fib have you ever
told a lie christina is here hello Christina I am new here hello to
everyone what do we do well the reason why we are here is to learn English and
you of course can send your live messages to me we have lots of things
going on today my name is mr. Duncan and I teach
English I've been here since 2006 teaching English on YouTube it's true I
am one of the original youtubers hello I'm Omer from the country of the
pyramids do you know what I mean I think I do I think you are in Egypt hello from
Colombia glad to be here Thank You Juan Bello thank you very much
me you says hello my name is Mayra and I'm watching in Indonesia
please give your greeting to us here I love your accent very much and the way

here come the details
to badoo badoo so here we go it is a Sunday afternoon welcome thanks for
joining me today it's mr. duncan live from England with
another live English stream I'm just waiting for the fly to come back so I
can spray it this is my new way of getting rid of flies so what I do I
spray this at the fly and then the fly is stunned and then I can pick the fly
up and put it outside and then after a few moments it will fly away because I
don't really like killing animals I don't like killing flies or any animal
for that matter so I use this little spray now to to stun the fly and then I
can get rid of it safely without killing it so that's what I like to do these
days hello mr. Duncan I am watching from Katara says body med row thanks for
joining me today it's live English all away and at 3 o'clock
we have a special mystery guest today joining us I will be asking the mystery
guest about their worst injury that is one of the questions I'm asking everyone
today in fact have you ever injured yourself what's
the worst injury you have ever suffered and of course we have the mystery idioms
today just in case you missed them there they are there is the first one at least
and the second one is there so what are today's mystery idioms there are two and
they are well known English expressions but what are they if you think you know
leave a comment in the chat box it is live English all away today have you
ever told a lie I like lying because it is very furna
says and dinner I say nicole says mr. Duncan
I can see that there are cows on your desk yes can you see the little cow
there there is a cow and there is a little baby cow a baby cow is called a
calf calf would you like to see one of my interesting visitors in the garden
this week I had some very interesting visitors in my garden and here is one of
them right now so here is a little visitor I had in my garden I was very
fortunate because I was able to film it can you see what it is
sniffing and nibbling in my garden it is of course a rabbit I had a little rabbit
in my garden this week the rabbit was spending the morning having a nibble I
love that word nibble so as we go closer you can see the rabbit in detail I love
rabbits ears they are so lovely and their eyes always look deep and
mysterious oh isn't that cute so there was a visitor to my garden this week a
little rabbit we have lots of rabbits around here and many of the farmers
around where I live they often shoot the rabbits and that's the reason why this
rabbit is hiding in my garden because lots of the farmers find the rabbits
quite annoying they see them as vermin so they often shoot the rabbits but this
rabbit is now safe in my god so there is one of the visitors to my
garden this week I have lots of interesting visitors in my garden would
you like to see another very interesting visitor to my garden here we go
something slightly smaller so here is another visitor in my garden in fact
lots of visitors can you see what is happening here there is a swarm of ants
coming up from underneath the pavement and some of the ants have wings they are
flying ants now this normally happens every single year during the summer
months the ants start to swarm they move to another place and you can see some of
the ants they have wings they are flying ants they will fly away and they will
start new nests you can see them off taking off there they are flying away
can you see the ants flying away so this happened in my garden during the week it
happens once a year normally on a very hot day all of the ants will suddenly
swarm they will come out from their nests and they will swarm some of the
ants have wings and some of them don't so the ones that have wings will fly
away they will fly off and they will start new nests
do you like insects some insects are very scary such as spiders talking of
flies I have a fly in my studio at the moment I have a fly that keeps flying
around my head annoying me we have mr. Steve coming in a moment yes
today's mystery guest is mr. Steve so now you know a lot of people wondering
who the mystery guest was today or is it will be mr. Steve yeah a lot of people
have been asking where is mr. Steve so he is now on his way to the studio he
will be here very shortly Pedro Belmont is here hello Pedro when I
was 12 I broke my arm during a match of football during a football match I think
you mean I remember it was very painful I think so I'm very lucky because I've
never broken any of my bones I've never broken anything in my body so no part of
my body has ever been broken honestly nothing not a single part of my body has
ever been broken so Pedro says when I was 12 I broke my arm during a football
match I remember it was very painful yes I think so so what is the most serious
injury that you've ever had have you ever injured yourself by accident and
what's the worst injury you have ever suffered as I mentioned earlier I have
had one terrible accident in my life and that's when I I stepped on a nail
so a nail went into my foot and that happened when I was a child and it was
very painful indeed not to be recommended to be honest not to be
recommended
curling are someone else is now mentioning curling Zafira got zephyr
agate I hope I pronounced your name right
I find curling a very boring sport curling I'm pretty sure it's when you
you move a large stone across ice so you try to get the piece of stone near to
the center I think that's what it is curling I have a feeling that they
normally play that during the Winter Olympics
what is the difference between your country and Vietnam as far as the time
difference Jang Tran I think the difference between the UK
and Vietnam is I think it's about eight hours I think the difference is eight
hours mr. Duncan Zhu Li ji says when I was a child I
always told the truth but many people accused me of being a liar it hurt me
very much so I have now learned to lie sometimes well
some people say that lying is a bad thing some people believe it is terrible
it is evil even some people say that to tell a lie is evil but of course
sometimes it is good to tell lies sometimes it is acceptable to tell lies
so we have a guest coming into the studio very shortly a special guest but
who will it be who is it
dude it's a Sunday afternoon and it's mr. Duncan live on YouTube hello to you
now I've had a couple of messages come
through today asking where my previous live streams are now I have deleted some
of my older live stream lessons now the reason why I've done that is because
well it all concerns YouTube to be honest it's all about how YouTube reads
the views and the amount of time that people spend watching the videos and
because of the very strange nature of YouTube nowadays I have deleted a lot of
my older live streams and the reason is because of the way that the algorithms
on YouTube are read so that's the reason why I've done that so I do apologize to
those who have been disappointed by that action I'm very sorry about that but it
will all make sense soon lots of changes will be happening soon on my channel and
also with my live streams as well lots of things will be taking place
over the next two or three months so keep a lookout for that right guess what
it's 3 o'clock just after 3 o'clock in fact and in the studio now we have a
special guest it's true I'm not joking there is someone in the studio that I
would like you to meet he was going to be the mystery guest but many people
were saying ëi mr. Duncan who's the mystery guest today so yes you all know
who it is here he is it's mitt Oh mr. Steve mr. Steve Oh
oh yes I was hello hello nice to see you yes
what are you doing I was just what I've been in the garden I'll
just get rid of this hat let's keep the Sun off my head and then I just thought
I'd come in so I wanted a break because it's quite tiring when you're weeding
the garden I thought I'll just read catch up on my cars and so here I am and
I happened to be in front of a camera I didn't think was was possible I don't
know how I've managed to wander in you're looking very well thank you very
much yes that's the the fresh air and the sunlight you're looking SuperDuper
fit to that there's no way I'll get sixty point two miles per gallon to that
I'll tell you what what have you got there in your hand yeah where it's a car
magazine do you like cars I do indeed yes I like reading about
cars driving cars and but not crashing them definitely are you sure about that
I have crashed one car in the past because today I tell you what we're
doing today we're asking the question we're asking have you ever injured
yourself or what is the worst injury that you've ever had oh yeah they've
done that already well I'm asking it all day today okay
now can I ask you the same question do you mind no I'm not at all it's not
personal is it no no it happened you want to know what my worst injury is
what is the worst injury did you even ever had what what's the worst thing
that's ever happened to your body probably was car related yes I had a
nasty car accident when I was about 24 in in a triumph tr7 a triumph tr7 with
that that sounds like a very sporty car it was it was quite fast it and but it
wasn't my fault I was over no I was going over the brow of a hill on the
country lane and as soon as I got it was pitch dark soon as I got over that brow
the hill there was a car coming head on straight towards me have you got
something behind your back it looks as if I've tied your hands together
it's don't good master Duncan said you will stand in front of the camera can I
just point out that I am NOT holding Steve hostage can you just show your
hands just to prove it there we go because there's no mid actually looked
as if if is if I'd sneaked up and tied your hands together back you just relax
so what happened though so so you were going over the brow of a hill the brow
over here over here last that yes the top just going over the top but the brow
is right at the top isn't that this isn't English
I better say what this is English and if I would explain you can say what you
want going over the top just at the top of the hill the brow went over saw some
car headlights coming straight towards me BAM
and that was it didn't know much about it sort of bit of a daze he was
overtaking it was actually a doctor he was drunk as we found out later okay
please don't please don't say his name oh I don't know his name oh that's good
I'm very pleased to hear that we're talking 30 years ago oh okay
excuse my age away and over the brava hill and yes hit head-on I was doing
about 50 he was doing that probably about the same it was quite a serious
accident I injured my neck broke my ankle
oh and and got some compensation I have to add back again but yes no I was had a
cast on for six weeks and you know the usual it wasn't could have been a lot
more serious but I was driving this triumph tr7 which was a very strong car
it was in the days when we were building in the early days when we were building
cars for the strict American crash safety standards and this car was built
like a tank and it it was stood the accident variable when you say it was
built like a tank what do you mean very star right built like a tank
means it was built very strongly like a tank which is a big heavy object
so some trouts something that's built sturdily or is erdély was very very
sturdy yes and they used to import these cars
to America but in America they had very strict crash safety regulations which
was much tougher than ours so in order for this car to be sold in America was
built in England it had to be much stronger than the average English or
British car and it was and it and it was you know the other car was like a
concertina it was completely nobody was badly injured and gathered the worst
acts with Mayank of it got over that and here to tell the tale but but you you
would like to reiterate that it wasn't your fault
it wasn't my fault yeah would you say that you are a good driver everybody
thinks they're a good driver don't they well everybody does but I'm all about
you who do you think you're a good driver yes of course now I I have it on
good authority that you took your advanced driver's test I did yes that
that's a test that can be taken here I'm sure the countries have it as run in the
UK you can take the advanced or danced depending on how you wish to pronounce
that well I would say that yes I would say that you are quite a good driver I
think so I'm quite calm I do lose my temper from time to time that we all do
I can't imagine you losing your temper I do on the road really so you broke your
ankle how is your ankle now it's okay I can't run on it but it's okay well so
what do you do when you go running do you just hop I just hop on one leg yes
along the street yes that that's the after a number of years when you've had
an injury like that to a joint it tends to get worse as you get older yes I
think this happens a lot with fractures if you break us if you break a bone in
your body if you break a bone in your body you quite often find that later in
life it will give you problems it will be painfully or it will ache or maybe
you won't be able to use the joint anymore so so that's the thing that's
happening now so so because of your accident 30 years ago you are you're
still feeling the effect of it yes not see it's not serious I can still get on
with my life but yes it the jointers is not as as it was before which means I
can't run on it put a lot of weight on it because of the the past injury so yes
these injuries come back to bite you do they what does that mean come back to
bite you yes these are it these it whatever you better explain that it
means that everything that happened in the past you forget about it but it's
having an effect like this injury so something was going on and then it's
just an expression that means it's affecting you something that affecting
the past will now affect you again in the future could be sometime in the
future so it comes back to comes back to bite you that's a great reminding you
that it's still there I think that's what if I explained that if you did
quite a good job yes it normally it means an action that happens at a
certain point of time and then later reoccurs or or has ceramic assumptions
or has some other consequence as a consequence so maybe for example you
tell a lie and you think that you've got away with it but now later that lie
comes back to bite you somebody finds out hmm they find out that you've lied
something yes exactly talking of lies we're talking about lies
today do you ever lie mr. Steve do you ever tell lies I think yes do you know
just the hesitation there every one and I tempted to say no but of course that
would be a lie so I think we all lie from time to time and we do so some
people are very good at lying whilst other people are not very good at lying
would you say that you are good at lying yes I'm very good I'm very good at lying
yes that's that's quite interesting with people are lying they often they often
give themselves away by body language or things they do that's it so sometimes
when a person is lying they might they might touch their nose or they might
their mouths or they might link ups theory something like that or they might
put a very large blanket over their head and then lie or not look directly at you
that's it I think your your show is very good mr. Duncan is excellent yes are you
lying them were you lying about that I was I was pretending to like okay I'm
going to very good I'm going to throw you in the deep end now what is that hey
if you throw someone in the deep end what does that mean that means you don't
give them any preparation for doing something you said I want you to do this
like like if you were to be if you were trying to learn to swim and you threw
someone in the deep end they would have to figure out how to stay afloat so they
didn't drown so though that's that's where it comes from but of course it
could be like you're throwing me in the deep end by saying will you appear on
camera as an untrained person I've got to somehow adapt to what I'm doing and
but you know I've got a look in the camera and said of over to you so throw
some of the deep-end giving them give them a task to do they've never done
before that it just is totally out there that's it and so if you if you spring
something on a person without them preparing for its a tan each I think
I've been bitten the girl where are you itching at the moment leg is I think
it's a I think isn't fly bitten me are you sure it was an itchy leg definitely
definitely okay then we can confirm that I believe you have a word for us yes I
do I've got three is it a flash word or a flash phrase it's a flash word okay
then so off you go right here we go just make sure everyone can see that yes yes
we can oh I can't read it now right infringe
it's an English verb everybody see that yes yes yes we can the word infringed is
a verb that means to overstep or break and agreed law or restriction to
infringe is to interfere with or to go over and agreed limitation
or to go against the terms of an agreement for example these musicians
have infringed my copyright the newspaper reporter infringed my privacy
the word infringement is the noun that names the act of infringing another
example this is clearly an infringement of copyright laws to infringe is to
break contravene disobey flout interfere intrude invade undermine violate etc
infringe you see I could stay here for ages and infringe on your lesson you are
constantly interrupting and overstepping the mark you could never infringe on me
but I could I could go on and on and on it interrupt you and go against what
you've asked me to do which is read out a few words and I could go do more than
that and take over and I've been fringing on our prior agreement do you
know a couple of weeks ago I went I went to the dentist right I think you told me
about that I remember that I went to the dentist and the dental hygienist she was
so rude to me she gave me a telling-off she would she got quite angry with me
now I'm just wondering today because you have quite nice teeth that's it give us
a smile get close to the camera so we can see it yes they rather nice yes not
too bad they look very completion for an English person who's English people are
renowned for having bad teeth I don't know why that is but then I think I
think that's Americans though a lot of Americans think that British people have
terrible teeth now let's let's have a look at my team not far off let's have a
look at my teeth so here's an here my teeth and mr. Steve me
mr. Steve so who do you think has the nicest teeth between mr. Steve and
myself who do you think who do you think has the nicest eath because mr. Steve
always shows off he says I went to the dentist today and they didn't say
anything to me they just cleaned my teeth and that was it
whereas I get a lot of hassle from my dental hygienist she really gives me a
hard time so who has the nicest teeth between me and mr. Steve mr. Steve give
us a smile and and me so who has the nicest teeth thank you very much mr.
Steve always looked after my teeth have you all my life which is why they're
quite good that they're very very white I've got lots of other car magazines
here cuz I don't just have if in case people think that I only read what car I
don't I read auto car ok Auto Express ok which is the sort of lower end of the
market but quite please note drop the bag as the car magazine which is the
sort of the elite elite magazine Oh Oh drop it please please don't drop the
magazines on the floor it's a bit too late now to say that I know but because
you've already done it but thanks so what's new in the world of cars I do new
in the electric cars that's do we have electric cars yet we've got a few of
them and what six well we've got there's a few if you've got a lot of money you
can buy a Tesla which it's a very is an American car but they cost sort of
upwards of sixty seventy thousand pounds you know this week in the UK they
announced that by 2040 finish but never mind
by 2040 there won't be any cars that run on petrol or diesel being sold that's
what I said 2040 I don't know if I'll still be
driving then but yes so as I was saying before you
infringed on my dialogue you can buy a very expensive Tesla for about eighty
thousand pounds or you can buy a Nissan Leaf which is much cheaper either way
you can't go very far on them because they only take you about 150 miles if
that before you need to charge up so where it's going to be interesting to
see how they develop the electric car to be as practical as a petrol or diesel
car mmm personally I can't see it happening but there you go I had a
special guest and did you see this special guest in the garden this week
did you see it was it a cow it was a it was a rabbit oh yes a rabbit we had a
rabbit in the garden this week and I was filming the rabbit it was in the garden
hiding from the farmer as I mentioned earlier other farmers are out and about
at the moment shooting the rabbits once you've got one rabbit it won't be long
before you've got a lot of rabbits as we all know about rabbits and their habits
rabbits and their habits they do like to procreate yes they like to yes they like
to get down and get jiggy as they say did you know that the word rabbit can
also be used as a slang phrase as well a slang word so there it is rabbit so the
word rabbit yeah in cockney English so if you rabbit
it means you talk too much now can you see where I'm going here if you taught
yourself if you talk too much am I talking about myself maybe I'm not if
you rabbit it means to talk too much or to talk excessively so I think we will
let mr. Steve go how about you don't new you're anything else no that's okay you
can go back into the garden I believe there are some wee
kids that the purpose is over there are some weeds that need pulling up yes
there are yes and there they there they need a lot of a lot of strength in your
fingers thank goodness you didn't injure your fingers no I didn't actually I'm
gonna get them to eat first and then I'm gonna go back into the garden and pull
out some weeds and just tidy everything up a bit that sounds fun so I'll put my
hat back on put your hat back on there we go took a
long time on holiday why did it take so long then to put that hat on oh it was
all the way down there yes it's like you're having trouble finding your head
isn't it silly but you've got to keep the sun off your head do a little got
any hair no I think it's a great looking hat otherwise you get you know cancer on
your head don't want that okay and on that cheerful note right yes on that
happy cheerful positive note we will say goodbye to mr. Steve see you again later
just to let you know there's two other words here I'm sure mr. Duncan's gonna
handle those very well later so thank you for the invitation and good luck
with the rest of the show and I'm off back into the garden see you later
bye-bye bye-bye mr. Steve and there he goes mr. Steve has left the building
some would say good riddance and some wouldn't I hope you enjoyed that
something different today something different at 3 o'clock we are talking
about lies today do you ever tell lies we are now going to take a look at a
lesson all about telling lies do you ever tell lies hi everybody this is mr.
Duncan in England how are you today are you ok
I hope so are you happy I hope so in this lesson we will take a look at
another dark side of our behavior the act of telling lies
the word lie means to say something or to make someone believe something that
is not true there are many reasons why we tell lies
but the two most common reasons are because we want to protect either
ourselves or another person close to us
there are many words connected to and which mean telling lies such as betray
cheat con deceive delude dishonest dupe Tulsa feign fib hoodwink
missing for mislead pretend swindle trick and untruth there is a short idiom
that describes the act of lying we pull the wool over somebody's eyes you lied
to me you pulled the world over my eyes
why do we really lie sometimes we need to lie to avoid a difficult situation or
to prevent us from hurting or offending someone we call this type of deception a
white lie so telling a lie may not always be a bad thing or so we would
like to believe here are two examples of white lies you cannot see your best
friend tonight because you are going out with someone from work you do not want
to hurt your friend so you say that you are going to visit your family for
supper you eat the last cream cake but you don't want to seem like a greedy
person so instead you say that the dog ate it
do you ever tell lies have you ever been caught lying did anyone ever lie to you
of course there is one big problem with lying and that is being found out or
caught telling a lie even a white lie can get you into serious trouble because
if you are caught doing it the other person will not trust you anymore they
will feel cheated disappointed and foolish a person who tells lies is
called a liar they are dishonest they can also be called a cheat or a fever
there is a phrase in English that goes honesty is the best policy this means
that it is better to try and be honest with other people
even if what you say may hurt or upset them
before I finish today I would like to say a special hello to my new friends
watching in China India Italy South Korea Thailand the Netherlands and yet
now I will see you all again soon honestly I promise that is not a lie
cross my heart this is mr. duncan in england saying but
i for now
hmm so there it was one of my English lessons from way back in 2008 can you
believe it so many years ago nine years ago that lesson was made all about
telling lies do you ever tell lies have you ever told an untruth sometimes lying
can be okay sometimes lying can be acceptable we call acceptable lying a
white lie a white lie so when you lie but the lie is not harmful we call it a
white lie hello son says mr. Steve your accent is very British I think so well
mr. Steve is British that's the reason why Kathryn fogs asks was the doctor
still able to care after mr. Steve yes I think that he had to spend some time
resting his ankle but his ankle got better his ankle is now okay but
sometimes it does give him a little bit of discomfort
Gwen below says I injured my knee severely yes your knees I think knees
are a part of your body that you tend to forget you tend to ignore but I think
knees are very important parts of the body I injured my knee severely when I
was 15 I rode a bike down a very steep hill I did it without breaks
thinking back it was a very foolish thing to do
Thank You Gwen yes we tend to ignore our knees we take them for granted we just
say I have knees I will ignore them but as you get older you will realize just
how important and how fragile your knees are mr. Duncan it is a great idea to
involve mr. Steve in your lessons very much for that when Oh Jean Santos
says some something that comes back to beat you yes we can say beat or of
course we can say bite so something that comes back to bite you some thing that
you did in the past that comes back to create problems hi hi mr. Duncan I'm
from Cuba Wow I don't have many people watching in
Cuba so a big hello to everyone watching in Cuba oh but now I live in Miami in
Florida oh I see so you used to live in Cuba
Hannah gwee Hannah gwee Perello thank you very much for your comment today
thank you very much Jean Santos says I can lie very well but
I'd rather say or tell the truth nice teeth
guys says Julie G oh so Julie thinks that we both have nice teeth that's good
Patricia says I think mr. Duncan has the nicest teeth thank you very much for
that miss shunt says you both have nice teeth
Olga thinks that mr. Duncan your teeth are whiter but mr. Steeves are better
formed do you know in the United States that people there think that all British
people have bad teeth I don't know why that's true but some British people do
have terrible teeth but others have nice teeth so I don't think that's
necessarily true
mr. Steve you have better teeth oh you have better teeth mr. Duncan oh I see
to be honest you have better teeth mr. Duncan Thank You Reggie for that Andrew
asks mr. Steve can you repair your car by yourself I think Steve is very
knowledgeable about cars he knows a lot about cars but I'm not sure if he ever
takes his car apart and then puts it back together again but I think he does
do some some minor repairs to his car now in a game so yes I think he knows
how to repair a car as long as as long as it's simple as long as it's something
very simple I absolutely love mr. Steve's way of speaking and by the way
mr. Steve's teeth are nicer in my opinion Thank You Jamelia for that thank
you very much so you think that mr. Steve has nicer teeth than me okay fair
enough are you going to buy a new car mr. Steve asks Leena I think mr. Steve
is getting a new car later this year I think he is I don't know what sort but
maybe he will come back another time and tell us all about his new car tatata mr.
steve says amazing door thank you very much for that something very different
today we have the mystery idioms I will be giving you the answers to these later
so here are today's mystery idioms but what are they what are today's mystery
idioms there is the first one and there is the second one - mystery idioms but
what are they there is the first one
if you think you know the answers please let me know on the live chat when I tell
lies I often become very red and embarrassed so I rarely tell lies
says Patricia some people think that lying is okay as long as the lie is a
white lie so a white lie is something that's you say this is untrue but not
harmful sometimes a white lie can be a good
thing yes mr. Duncan telling lies without
blinking the eyes it means someone tells lies without feeling any guilt thank you
hello son for that it is very hard to lie
some people are are not good liars some people are terrible liars and when they
lie sometimes they touch their nose or maybe they they blink a lot or maybe
they they touch their face so some people are not very good at lying sin K
is watching in Turkey please say hello to me hello sin K watching in Turkey and
of course I have been to Turkey in the past respect says hello I am your fan
from Russia please say hello to me hello respect and thank you for joining me
today olga has made a guess at one of the
mystery idioms thank you very much for that psychologists say that people start
telling lies in their childhood after they have passed the age of three years
old they do it to conceal bad actions Thank You Lena for that yes I think most
people lie even I have told lies in the past so sometimes I lie but quite often
my lies are white lies I tell lies sometimes to protect
other people or maybe to protect myself so that's the main reason why most
people tell lies Zorin says I have the answers to the
mystery idioms the first one is are you a mouse or a man are you a man or a
mouse and the second one is is it on camera no both of those are incorrect
I'm sorry about that they are both wrong so there they are today's mystery idioms
what is the most boring sport what is the most boring sport to watch or
participate in there are many boring sports around one of the most boring
sports that I think exists is golf I think golf might be this is just my
opinion by the way I think golf is probably the most boring sport to watch
another sport that's very boring to watch is fishing watching people fish
they're not actually doing anything they're just sitting by a river they're
not actually doing anything so if you watch someone fishing in a river or a
pond that can be very boring to watch mr. Duncan you missed my question could
you explain why you said earlier it still does exist and not it still exists
well it's just another way of saying it it still does exist it still does exist
or it does still exist so you are basically expressing the same thing AB
AB made a guess at one of the mystery
idioms thank you very much for that mr. Duncan from Medellin in Colombia I
love your classes and I'm very excited to learn more and more thanks for
everything thank you very much watching in Medellin
it's less less Lizz Lizz it Barela or Barrera thank you very much for that I
hope I pronounced your your name right there
fishing is a hobby and not a sport actually can you believe it fishing is a
sport you can compete with other people when you are fishing so yes fishing
actually can be a sport did you know that
Jamelia says I never lie I don't like it when people lie well there are things
that people say that are untrue that can be very harmful or damaging so yes
sometimes lies can be very bad sir you didn't see my comment maybe not maybe
there's a reason why I didn't see it because there are lots of messages today
on the live chat so if you would like to write to me because I do have an email
address and also I am on Facebook as well you can write to me or you can
follow me
it's live English on a Sunday afternoon and it's mr. Duncan alive on YouTube
thank you very much for joining me today I hope you've enjoyed today's lesson
lots of things happening today we had mr. Steve at three o'clock did you see
mr. Steve he came in today to join me on the livestream talking about his
interests in cars and also his very serious injury that he had 30 years ago
this is Mohammed watching your movie from Pakistan we have a great quote that
goes don't ask questions if you want to hear no lies yes
sometimes if you ask a question maybe the other person doesn't want to answer
it so instead they will lie so if you don't
ask questions you will hear no lies thank you very much for that so yes I
did see your message there it is thank you for joining me today
Antonio says I think chess is the most boring sport but it is very difficult to
play and to play it stimulates the intelligence I think so I think you are
right there yes watching chess can be very boring but
playing chess I think is very stimulating it stimulates the brain I
think you are right I used to think that tennis was boring but once I learned the
rules I didn't consider it that way anymore I think it's a bit like
volleyball volleyball is not very interesting to watch although it's very
hard to play thank you who I am for that what is the relation between you and mr.
Steve so many people ask what our relationship is I don't know why you're
so interested it's like I'm some sort of celebrity ooh
very nice the most hurtful injury that I've ever had was when I fell on my head
I don't like the sound of that to be honest I had seven stitches in my head
oh my goodness yes sometimes if you injure yourself sometimes you might cut
your skin and sometimes the cut is very large so if you have a very large cut on
your body sometimes they have to stitch the cut to make it close hmm sounds very
painful I have never had stitches in my life I have never had any injury
stitched up or sewn up the stitches that you have are called sutures sutures
that's a very interesting word lots of people now chatting on the live chat
today because of course it is your live English that's the reason why I am here
today I am here for you after your stitches have been taken out
you will have something called a scar scar so scar is the mark that is left
after the injury is healed up scar yes thank you the French Leo for that is
chess a sport well it is yes it's if if you are competing against another person
it is a sport yes or of course a game a game Zee ha or Zahir Zahir Hussein says
ping pong watching ping pong is very tedious I think so yes ping pong or
Table Tennis yes not very exciting to watch but very difficult to play very
competitive I think it's a very competitive sport ping-pong yes
it is a sport there is a world competition it is the brain sport I
don't know what that refers to maybe it refers to chess I'm not too sure thank
you own Dantonio for that what is the
meaning of bad liar from Selena Gomez do you mean a song are you talking about a
song but liar if a person is a bad liar it means they are not very good at doing
it so they are not very good at lying they are a bad liar they are bad at
lying they are terrible at lying they can't lie convincingly Thank You mr.
Duncan you are the best believe me Thank You Reggie
for that shall we have another video clip we are now going to take a look at
one of my full English lessons in fact what you are about to watch is an
excerpt from not one but two of my full English lessons now at the start of
today's live stream I talked about my trip to my mother's house now when I
went to my mum's I noticed that there was a piece of wood in her dustbin and
the dust man the refuse collectors hadn't taken the bin they hadn't emptied
it and they rejected it they said that they weren't going to take it because my
mother had put some wood in the dustbin so do you think it is fair to force
people to recycle in the following clip we are going to have a look at me
talking all about recycling
can you see what I'm doing here I'm moving these empty plastic bottles to
the recycling box at the back of my house
they will then be collected by the local recycling plant and taken to a place
where they will be melted down and reused to recycle is the process of
reusing something over and over these days recycling is carried out all around
the world almost anything can be recycled
the most commonly recycled materials include water paper and plastic many
electrical devices can now be recycled to most metallic objects are also
recyclable from discarded cans right up to disused cars many things these days
can be recycled we often hear the word sustainable used when discussing
recycling this word refers to the action of maintaining a balance between the use
and replacement of materials needed for the manufacturing of everyday items
sustainable forests and sustainable oceans being the two most common places
where things such as wood gas and oil are found
if you remember in the previous full English lesson I talked about recycling
at home do we have the clip do we have the clip you know the clip from my last
full english lesson do you have the clip do you have it do you have the clip do
you have the clip well after that segment was shown I received thousands
what's that not thousands how many of them was it
hundreds not hundreds how many was it how many people complained how many how
many six just six that's all well since that segment was posted I have received
six complaints from people saying that I should have first crushed the plastic
bottles before placing them into the recycle box so just for you here is a
bottle I crushed earlier
well hello there fancy seeing you here how lovely it is
to see you again my name is mr. Duncan welcome to another full English lesson
this is the 20th edition and look the son has decided to come out for us isn't
that nice of course most of my English lessons are made right here in England
the birthplace of rugby the Beatles George Formby Stan
Laurel Sir Isaac Newton the motorised vacuum cleaner
Boy George the Bronte sisters and of course the English language which is as
always the star of the show so without any more pontificating hesitation
dawdling or beating about the bush let's get started with today's full English
lesson right
is there anything worse than starting something new could there be a more
nerve-wracking feeling than doing something for the first time being new
to or at something must be one of the hardest situations to find yourself
having to deal with perhaps you've just started a new job or begun to learn a
new skill maybe you are using that acquired skill for the first time in a
real situation whatever the circumstances being new it's something
can be tough a person who's just recently started doing something new can
be described as a newbie or a newcomer they are new at the job a person without
experience can be described as being green they are just starting out that
person is a novice a beginner they are learning the ropes which means that the
person in question is a trainee he or she is learning how to do something a
trainee is a person who learns while they watch another person working they
can also be described as an apprentice
here's an interesting word that you might not have seen before
the word is portmanteau this word has more than one definition as a noun it
means a large leather bag or suitcase used for transporting clothes whilst
traveling however the word portmanteau also has another meaning which is the
combination of two separate things that have been joined together to form
something new in linguistics a portmanteau is a word formed by
combining or morphing two words together for example the words brench Cineplex
email for tonight infomercial motel Podcast and smog are all types of
portmanteau the word portmanteau itself derived from the combination of two
French words which means that portmanteau is itself a combination of
two separate words Dibby Dibby do to do to be Dibby Dibby Dibby Dibby Dibby
Dibby du there it was full English lesson I'm just looking at one of mr.
Steve's car magazines this is one of the car magazines that he left behind
if you missed mr. Steve earlier don't worry you can watch this livestream all
over again later on because it will be saved on YouTube now if you are looking
if you are searching for my older my earlier live streams they have now been
deleted from YouTube and this is because of the algorithms that decide on which
videos are promoted on YouTube so I have deleted some not all but some of my
older my earlier live streams but the good news is I will be keeping some of
my recent live streams they will stay on my YouTube channel and of course there
will be lots of new English lessons coming as well very soon on my youtube
channel as well so look out for that lots of things happening over the next
few weeks mr. duncan is my answer correct to your mystery idioms I did

says I hate athletics Oh some people like watching athletics
whilst others do not Estela says most sports are tedious to
watch tedious something that is boring to watch something that seems to go on
for a very long time without anything happening can be described as tedious
something tedious is boring I love your channel says and sell and

mystery idioms
Jamelia says how lucky you are to be living so close to nature I live in a
city and I quite envy you well you don't have to be jealous because of course
maybe in the future you can live somewhere in the countryside or away
from the town or city Thank You Jamelia for that Maria says oh yes you you are
also correct well done almost you are almost correct should I say almost Thank
You Maria for your guests for today's mystery idiom i I've got some of your
deleted live lessons downloaded but not all of them ok Andrew that's all right
no problem I have deleted many of my live streams from the past mainly due to
the fact that YouTube or should I say the algorithms on YouTube often act in a
very unfair way so all I'm saying so that's the reason
why that that's the reason why I have to decide to delete a lot of my live
streams the old ones but you can watch this live stream later no problem
it's alright and hopefully later there will be subtitles as well a lot of
people forget about the subtitles but they are there Juan Bello mr. Duncan in
my opinion the most boring sport is the shotput the only thing is all they are
doing is throwing a heavy sphere yes it's just a big heavy ball and they
throw it from their shoulder shot put yes it's not very interesting is it not
very exciting having said that you do you do need to be a very strong person
to do it so I think the most boring sport is golf and maybe also fishing as
well fishing is not very very interesting to watch you don't see many
TV shows talking about fishing do you hang van says mr. Duncan could you tell
me how to say newcomer to a new company he or she is not the beginning not the
beginner of his or her career if someone has been working for a long time with a
company we can say that they are a long time employee so long time they are a
long time employee that means they have been with the company for many years
long the juin says England is the birthplace of football so do you like
playing football I don't play football and to be honest I don't watch much
football either so we have come to the end of today's livestream oh my goodness

quite a few of you got this right well don't smell a rat it is a well
known English expression to smell a rat the meaning is to sense that something
is not right to suspect that something is not what it seems is to smell a rat
that's a great expression and the second expression today's second mystery idiom
is the camera never lies ah very interesting so the camera never
lies the meaning a photo in its raw form is a true representation of the subject
