Everybody take a deep breath...relax
because it's Sunday afternoon once again oh hello there what can you say what can
any of any of us say after such a such a traumatic week here in the UK oh my
goodness it's hard to know where to start about what's happened over the
past few days or in fact the past few months here in the UK...uh all I can say
is what a week it has been it's been a very crazy week here in the UK
anyway good afternoon welcome how are you today are you okay I hope so are you
happy I really really hope so here we are on a
Sunday afternoon it is live English all away for the next two hours
ah mr. Duncan we can't believe that you are on YouTube live for two hours yes
it's true every single Sunday you can catch me here live on YouTube for two
hours every Sunday afternoon from 2 p.m. UK time and here I am proving just that
that I am as live as live can be it is now 10 minutes past 2:00 o'clock
slightly later than usual I am a little bit late I have been running around all
morning I got up very early this morning to go
to the local farm shop to buy some bird food because I've actually ran out to
bird food so this morning I got up very early to go to the local farm shop
and there they sell lots and lots of different things they sell some very
unusual things contraptions for removing the teeth from horses things like that
but also they happen to sell bird food as well so this morning I got up very
early to go and buy some bird food so now my birds are very happy but because
of doing that I have had to rush around it always seems as if I have lots of
time on a Sunday morning but then suddenly the time vanishes I don't know
where it goes - have you noticed that sometimes have you noticed that when it
seems as if you have lots of time suddenly you have very little time some
people might say that life is a little bit like that you don't realize just
sometimes how how little time there is to do things
oh that's very deep and meaningful I must say so hello there my job is to
teach English to you to help you with your English don't forget I have a
YouTube channel a YouTube channel where you can watch all of my lessons recorded
lessons and of course my live lessons as well so just in case this is your first
time watching me today don't worry do not panic there is nothing wrong with
your computer I am mr. Duncan and I live in England if
you want to get in touch with me or if you want to keep up-to-date with what is
happening in the world of English then
so now there is no excuse there it is if you want to get in touch with me if you
want to keep up-to-date with what is happening in the world of English then
those are the addresses to take note of so here we go the live chat is already
open lots of things coming today some questions for you of course guess
what today we have the mystery object it has
been a long time since I've had a mystery object but today we have a
mystery object shall I show you the mystery object no not yet a little bit
later on we have a mystery object you have to guess what the object is another
question for you today I want you to solve the mystery idioms we have some
idioms in picture form and what I want you to do is to guess what the idioms or
expressions are it's as simple as that so that coming very very soon also what
do we have today also oh yes near to where I live today there is a big air
show taking place lots of aeroplanes flying over so at some point today you
might hear some aircraft flying over my house ooh
so that taking place around my local area today what else is coming today
oh yes another question for you what is the worst movie that you've ever seen
what is the worst movie that you've ever seen we all have one on our list
maybe maybe more than one but we've all been to the cinema at some point and
we've had to sit through a terrible movie so that's another question for you
today what is the worst movie that you have ever seen we were of course talking
about movies last week so I thought we would do it again so what is the worst
movie that you have ever seen some thing that you thought was awful did you
catch my life lesson by the way because it has been a very busy week here in the
UK lots of things going on we had a general election taking place on
Thursday and of course I did do a special lesson all about it and it is
available now to watch on my youtube channel I did a special election English
words special and that was live last Thursday and of course because I always
save my live streams you can watch that again whenever you like and also don't
forget my live streams have captions and subtitles so after the lesson has
finished you can watch all of my live streams with captions so there it is
that was the lesson that I did on Thursday I did a two-hour live stream on
my mobile phone last Thursday so that is one of the things that I did during the
week and of course it has been a very busy week we had the general election
and on Thursday I went through lots of different words that are connected with
elections so just in case you missed that you can watch it so I had some some
words on Thursday but I realized afterwards that there were two words
that I'd missed out so here are the two words that I missed out the other day so
here is one word that I missed the other day I didn't give to you so I thought
today I would mention it so there it is can you see it the word is manifesto
manifesto so this is often used during elections a manifesto is a public
declaration of policy and terms normally issued by political
candidates or political parties quite often just before an election takes
place so there is one word that I missed on Thursday manifesto manifesto I hope
that word is useful to you and the other word that I forgot to mention was
mandate mandate another word that is often used in politics and it is an
official order or Commission to do something so you could say that it's a
an official intention so mandate and
manifesto so there are two words that are often used in politics quite often
just before a general election and what a general election it was did you did
you hear the news about what happened here in the UK so we had the main
political parties all trying to win a general election what they were trying
to do was to get a majority in the vote so that means that they had many many
more seats or many many more votes than anyone else could have in this case we
are talking about seats in the House of Commons so of course what we have now is
a hung parliament because there weren't enough votes so because none of the
parties got a majority none of the people who were standing for election
got a majority we now have a hung parliament so there is no clear winner
there is no clear winner so you can imagine the situation now in the UK
because we have lots of things going on at the moment we are about to leave the
European Union so lots of things are going on at the moment
a little bit more about that later on I have a lesson all about brexit which I
will play a little bit later on just for you but first of all we have to go to
the live chat because the live chat is now up and running we are live on a
Sunday afternoon here in the UK it is mr. Duncan in England a lot of people

today oh I love it when I have a big crowd joining in by the way just in case
you are wondering what the weather is doing at the moment here in the UK it's
a little bit rainy it's a little bit overcast
it's very until and dismal but now and again the Sun does come out so it's a
very strange June day and there is the live view at the moment outside so that
is the view in my garden right now so there it is a little bit later on I will
be going outside to give you some flash words and some flesh phrases as well so
there it was a view outside also we have something a little unusual coming later
on now I know that many of you love to see the nature in my garden so I thought
a little bit later on we would have a special little video showing one of the
Bulls at the back of my house one of the Bulls having a sweet dream so that
coming a little bit later on as well but first of all as I mentioned just now we
had a very crucial vote take place here in the UK on Thursday we had a general
election that took place on Thursday and for those who haven't heard the news
the result was undecided so we might actually end up having another election
towards the end of the year can you believe it and the reason why this is
happening of course is because last year we had a vote to leave the European
Union we had something called brexit announced and of course that is
something that is still ongoing so I thought let's have a look at
lesson all about brexit because quite a few people don't even know what it's
about so here it is a lesson that I made last year all about brexit
unless you've been living under a giant rock for the past 12 days you will no
doubt know that things have been let's say a little turbulent over here in UK
land on the 23rd of June 2016 the good folk of the united kingdom voted to
leave the European Union otherwise known as the EU as for its history the
original intention of the EU was to join nations in Europe together as a
coalition of free trade and movement a sort of European club so to speak
the original EU was in fact called the European Economic Community which was
formed in 1967 the UK originally became part of this club in 1973 during a
period when the Conservative Party was in power two years later a referendum
was held that allowed the population to vote on whether or not the UK should
stay in the EEC a resounding 67% of the voters say they wanted to remain this
was after a renegotiation had been called for by the Labour Party who had
come to power the year before in 1970 for the next 41 years would see many
upsets and renegotiations as the rules were altered quite often in the UK's
favour a good example being the opt-out of the single European currency the euro
to this day we still cling on to our hallowed pound which some say has helped
Britain become one of the strongest financial market places in the world but
like all currencies it has had its ups and downs
there has for some time being a mistrust of the EU for many reasons
both real and imagined from the draconian rules enforced on such things
as the correct shape of Brno and the brightness of lightbulbs and how
much suck a vacuum cleaner should have through to the growing concept of a link
between UK immigration and economic decline mainly related to the free
movement of people across Europe and so it came to pass during the run-up to the
2015 UK general election the Conservative leader David Cameron
announced that should his party win the next election a referendum would be held
to decide whether or not the UK should remain in the EU he did go on to win and
sticking to his word he announced later that her referendum would be held in
2016 the rest as they say is recent history so how did this vote to come
about some see this move as a gamble the theory being that the offer of a
referendum was done so as to assure a majority win and a further term in
office for the Conservatives and mr. Cameron there are those who now think
that the decision was made with the assumption that the EU vote would go to
the remain group if that turns out to be true then the gamble most definitely did
not pay off
the British exit from the EU became known as the brexit each side of the
argument put their views in opinions across during the run-up to the brexit
referendum with economic instability and fears over immigration being raised a
number of times during debates both sides made strong if not slightly
alarmist cases for their own stance on whether or not to stay in the European
Union those wishing to leave became known as brick sitters or brexit ears
those wanting to stay became known as remain or remain errs on the night of
the referendum itself it seemed as if the remain vote might have the edge for
a short time at least bert by the early hours of Friday morning it became clear
that the vote had gone the brexit ia's way and the UK would in fact be leaving
the EU needless to say the result did not go down well for some people as the
margin between both sides had been so narrow with 48% voting to remain and 52%
wishing to leave
as the dust begins to settle after this latest national referendum the after
effects will be felt for some time to come not least of all with the
resignation of David Cameron and the Scrabble to find a new leader and with
that a new prime minister then there is the obvious divide that has now split
the country down a middle in the not-too-distant future it would seem
that a general election is on the cards and then the slow process extracting the
UK from the EU will begin it is estimated that it will take two years to
reach any sort of settlement another effect of the impending brexit is the
likelihood of the Scottish Parliament pushing for independence which will
ironically create a division between England and Scotland in the future Wales
could also push for independence as well as the possibility of a call for the
reunification of northern and southern Island all of which has led some brexit
ears to have second thoughts about whether to leave Europe or not of course
the vote has taken place and the upshot is that by the end of 2018 the UK will
no longer be a member of the European Union meanwhile here in 2016 it is too
early to tell exactly what the outcome will be one thing however is certain UK
politics will be a lot more interesting over the next few days months and quite
likely years to come
so there it was a lesson that I did last year explaining exactly what bricks it
was all about so the story continued this year with of course Theresa May
stepping in as prime minister and then calling for a sudden general election so
that's what took place last Thursday and the upshot of that is that now we have a
hung parliament so no particular party is in power so we might actually end up
having yet another general election later this year so at the moment here in
the UK things are a little bit chaotic it would appear that many people are
saying that Theresa May should not have called for a general election they are
saying that she made a miscalculation isn't that a great word look at that
word it's so long it might be one of the longest words I've used today or even
recently so there it is miscalculation if you make a miscalculation it means
you do something that you shouldn't have you mistakenly did something so maybe
you thought it was the right thing to do but in fact it was the wrong thing to do
so many people are now saying that the the general election should not have
been called for they are saying that Theresa May made a miscalculation
she miscalculated the situation so there it is for those who aren't sure what the
brics it is don't worry it isn't all about politics today but I thought it
was very important to mention that because it's a very big story certain
here here in the UK at the moment certainly lots of people are talking
about brexit and of course the curve political situation so back to the live
chat well first of all before we go back to the live chat can I just say that
it's nice to see so many people here today but talking to me so that's the
reason why we are here for you to share your interests or the things you want to
say or I asked and of course for me to sit here as well and talk live to you
don't forget everything you see here is free it doesn't cost you anything it's
completely 100% free so we have the mystery object we also have some
questions today questions such as what is the worst movie you've seen the worst
movie you have ever seen what is it what is it so maybe a movie you went to the
cinema to see and you thought oh my goodness what a load of rubbish so what
is the worst movie you have ever seen also we have the mystery object coming
do you want to see the mystery object now okay then here we go I will give you
a very quick flash of the mystery object I won't show all of it I will just show
you a little bit of it here it is here it is here is today's mystery object so
that is a little part of the mystery object there it is do you know what this
object is so there it is today's mystery object
toodaloo what is it do you know what it could be if you think you know give me
the answer little bit later on I am now destroying my studio just over
there I'm smashing my studio up mr. Duncan
I am ed Nelson ed Nelson and it is my first time here hello - ed Nelson and
welcome to my live English for a Sunday afternoon it is now 237 on a Sunday
hello from China oh we have people watching in China that's always good to
hear and always very satisfying to see Tunisia is watching as well
IMed is here thank you for joining me today yo se or Jose or Joe say of course
is watching in Venezuela nice to meet you wasn't there a football match taking
place today I think it was Venezuela and was it the England under-20 football
team am i right I think so Julia is here good afternoon mr. Duncan
hi from London you are watching in London how is the weather down in London
up here it's a little bit changeable today we've had some rain we've had some
sunshine it's very changeable at the moment we
have Russia watching hello from Russia Safi Co is here hello to you as well
thanks for joining me so what is the mystery object here it is
again the little mystery object what could you be mystery object in front of
me what could it be the mystery object talking of mysteries
we also have our mystery idioms so it is now time to reveal those as well
something to keep you thinking and scratching your heads today so here are
the mystery idioms today as well so some mystery idioms you have to look at the
pictures and work out what the idioms are so there is
the first one the first mystery idiom today what is it though it's a
well-known phrase in English but what is it and the other one is this so there
they are today's mystery idioms there is the second one what is it it's a
well-known phrase in English and also the first one but what is it it is a
well-known phrase in English and there is the second one just in case you
didn't see it today's mystery idioms so lots of things to keep you thinking and
guessing for a Sunday afternoon thanks a lot for joining me today I think we
might be able to go outside now with our first flash phrase shall we go outside
and see what the weather is doing a few moments ago the Sun was out in fact I
think the Sun is out right now so let's go outside shall we
my lovely roses are growing very nicely today
they are enjoying the rain and the sunshine I wish I could say the same
thing so here we go with today's first flash phrase it is a
flash phrase oh my goodness so there it is I hope you can see it clearly
today's flash phrase is slip of the tongue slip of the tongue slip of the
tongue is an English phrase the phrase slip of the tongue means to say
something incorrectly or to say something you didn't mean to an
accidental comment made without warning is a slip of the tongue I did not intend
to mention politics today it was just a slip of the tongue
my mispronunciation was just a slip of the tongue
I didn't mean to say that it was a slip of the tongue we could also use the
phrase slip of the pen which is a slight error made whilst writing so there it is
today's first flash phrase slip of the tongue sometimes we say things we didn't
mean to say we can say that it was a slip of the tongue so let's go back
inside it's very windy out here today very windy and the Sun has just come out
isn't that nice
I'm back
just a few moments ago some some planes flew over the house there is an airshow
taking place not very far away from where I live so there is a big air show
taking place just up the road from my house so now in a game this afternoon
there might be some aeroplanes coming over very low across the house
hello mr. Duncan says Ana hello Ana ala ana Dori Nova during over
a Nidoran over thank you for joining me today
Eugene is here hi Eugene a regular viewer on my live stream thanks for
joining me I'm watching from a gal Chia gal Chia in Spain says Maria hello Maria
we have quite a few Maria's watching on the livestream Mika ODE is here hello
mr. Duncan Oh Mika is also suffering with hay fever
yes I have a little bit of hay fever today normally during the summer when
all of the pollen is out when it is blowing around in the air some people
are allergic to pollen and that includes me and also Meeker as well suffers from
hay fever and of course hay fever can can cause many problems it makes the
inside of your nose become very sensitive which means you will sneeze
quite a few times so during the summer months I normally get hay fever normally
during June and July so June and July are the worst months for me the worst
ones so the worst movie talking of the worst thing what was the worst movie
what is the worst movie you've seen I'm sure you will have plenty of suggestions
for me and also the mystery idioms what are they
there is the first one what is it it is a well-known phrase in English and there
is the second one what is it a well-known phrase in the English
language all of the answers will be coming later on thank you for joining me
jessica is here hello Jessica Jessica wishes everyone a happy great day Thank
You Jessica for that Andrew I think Andrew wants to talk about one of his
worst movies or maybe his best movie I'm not sure here let's see let's see what
Andrew is saying Andrew says that there was an Indian movie I think it was
called our Shin AM al Alan the main hero pest
under a truck on his horse tilting it down on its side like it was a
motorcycle this was awesome oh I see that sounds quite cool I don't think
it's a bad thing that sounds quite cool I've never seen anyone go under a truck
sideways on a horse I'm very intrigued now I would like to
see that movie very much I think I will be searching for that later online
definitely Nishant is here mr. Duncan did you watch
the Champions Trophy I didn't watch it but I think today Venezuela and England
were playing a football match in the is it the World Cup under twenties and I
think if I'm not mistaken I think England won did they did they win I
think so I think they actually did hello mr. Duncan hello from Italy it is a hot
day in Italy I wish it was hot here it's not very hot
it's quite windy it's not really hot but because it's windy all of the pollen is
blowing around and going up my nose so I'm suffering a bit from hay fever
today we are getting some correct answers for
the mystery object well done quite a few people are
guessing the mystery object someone thought maybe it was something for
playing tennis no it's not a tennis racket it isn't for playing sport
although it does look like it it looks a little bit like a squash racquet squash
have you ever played squash it's such a difficult game to play you have to be
very fit to play squash but now this is not a squash racquet it is not it is
something else it looks as if quite a few people are getting the correct
answer so well done to that Paul is here hello Paul hello from New Jersey in the
United States it's my first time here mr. Duncan hello to Paul be watching in
New Jersey in the US of A mr. Duncan is it something for playing cricket says
Olga no it is not it is not a cricket bat or a cricket racket sorry but I
don't watch movies says Emilio yes some people don't even go to the cinema I
don't go to the cinema as much as I used to I used to go to the cinema all the
time when I was very young but nowadays I think I think maybe I have become a
little bit lazy so I don't go to the cinema ah now I tend to wait until
movies come out on DVD or of course you can watch movies on Netflix and on
Amazon now so it's very easy to watch movies these days thanks to streaming
and of course you can watch me today because of streaming because this is a
live stream right now someone asked mr. Duncan what does on the cards mean
if something is on the cards it means it is likely to happen so it is something
that is likely to be done or is likely to happen so something is on the cards
on the cards so I hope that has been helpful to you
Hawaa says mr. Duncan I think Kill Bill was the worst movie I've seen yes there
were two well was there a sequel as well there was Kill Bill and Kill Bill 2 was
there a third one as well I have a feeling there was a third one or did I
just imagine that so how are says Kill Bill is the firt the worst movie I have
ever seen Marielle is here hi Marielle hello mr.
Duncan I am from Brazil yes Marielle you are also correct with the mystery object
well done I think maybe this was too easy I haven't had a mystery object for
a long time but this is something that is very useful some some people think
that it's used for sport this is not used to play sport it is something quite
different mr. Duncan I think the mystery idiom is both feet
on the ground let's have a look shall we Mystery idiom today both feet on the
ground you are close you are close now you can use both feet on the ground as
an idiom of course if you keep both feet on the ground
it means you stay realistic you stay grounded you look at things
realistically you keep both feet on the ground although in this case this is not
the mystery idiom that I'm looking for it is another one so take a close look
at the picture and say what you see say what you see
and for those who want to see the second idiom there is the second mystery idiom
but what are they what are today's mystery idioms the answer coming up a
little bit later on
yes that is why we are here today we are here because it is live English for a
Sunday afternoon and unfortunately I am suffering a little bit with hay fever
today because there is a lot of pollen in the air so because of that I am sadly
suffering with hay fever so please excuse me if I have to go away to have a
little sneeze or a little cough so please forgive me forgive me I am a
little just a little under the weather because I have hay fever Sammy says mr.
Duncan are they your feet they seemed very cute and clean sadly they are not
my feet my feet are too terrible to show they really are some people say that my
feet look too big because my toes are very long in fact my toes look look a
little bit like fingers they really do Columbia loves you mr. Duncan says John
Edinson hello Jean Edinson watching at the moment in Columbia thanks for
joining me today happy to see you live mr. Duncan says
Marion Thank You Marin thank you so much for that mr. Duncan another guess for
your idiom from Olga does it mean go down the tube that's a very good one you
are very close again you are very close but it isn't go down the tube it isn't
high mr. Duncan yes pin it you have also got the mystery
object right Wow so many people getting it correct I
think maybe it was a little too easy Darla asks hey fever is it correct
we normally write hay fever like this this is how we write hayfever there
it is hay fever hay fever is something that many people
get during the summer months when there is lots of pollen in the air so when the
flowers and the trees release their pollen some people are allergic they are
allergic to the pollen and they start to sneeze some people get very itchy eyes
and some people get very itchy noses in my case I get very itchy nose and itchy
nose there's nothing worse than an itchy nose because you have to sneeze all the
time that's no good Paul bee says the worst movie I have
seen was in 2016 it was Snowden oh yes of course
Snowden all about people giving away secrets Magda is correct yes you are
very very correct lots of people getting the mystery
object correct well done but not many people are getting the correct guesses
on the mystery idioms what are today's mystery idioms oh just as I said that we
have Marshall or more Marsh more age or Marsh age I hope I have pronounced your
name right Marsh age RAC says the second mystery idiom is yes you are right well
done well done lots of people have guessed the mystery object correctly
well done I will tell you what this is now I will reveal the answer to this
this is something very useful during the summer months here in the UK because
during the summer months we get lots of flies and lots of mosquitoes coming into
our houses and there's no thing worse than having a fly buzzing
around your head or of course a mosquito there is nothing worse than having a fly
in your room so this will help you to remove the fly from the room you just
swapped the fly now this device uses batteries so you put some batteries in
there and this creates an electric current so you get an electric current
here and when you hit the fly the fly will go it will be zapped by the
electricity and it will be stunned so that's what it is it is used to swapped
or to stun or to kill flies you can kill flies and also I think mosquitoes is
well with this a very useful thing I haven't used it yet I only bought this
yesterday I'd bought it yesterday when I was in town because the flies are now
starting to come into the house and they are a pain they are a pain in the
where are they a pain I will tell you they are a pain they are a pain in the
arse that's what they are they are a pain in the ass or of course they are a
pain in the ass so something that is annoying something that irritates you
something that gets on your nerves can be described as a pain in the arse this
is something we say a lot in British English and in American English they say
ass it's true so this week in the UK we have had lots
of drama the general election took place I did a live stream on Thursday you can
still catch the live stream it is available on my youtube channel oh I see
Marsh Marsh Marsh age is pronounced very close to magic
oh I see that's interesting so magic or magic is that okay is that better
I'm sorry magic for mispronouncing your name earlier very sorry Paul B says mr.
Duncan is it a fly swatter yes it is you use this for getting rid of flies it
uses electricity to zap the fly that's what it does would you like to see
something lovely because now we are approaching three o'clock here in the UK
it is now three o'clock and I think it is time to take a look at something very
lovely at the back of my house in the field at the back of my house there are
some bulls and during the week one of the Bulls
decided to have a little sleep in the back of my house and fortunately
fortunately I managed to capture it on video would you like to have a look okay
here he comes now
wasn't wasn't that cute ah so there it was a bull sleeping at the back of my
house this week I couldn't resist filming it it looks so so peaceful and
relaxed and I was I was thinking hmm I wonder what the bull is dreaming about
probably dreaming about a big field full of fresh grass I think so
Simona says the bull fell asleep he is very tired because he was out dancing
last night I think so perhaps who knows Raveena says mr. Duncan I am missing
your lessons I hope you will make more lessons in the future with new topics
well of course during my live streams there are lots of topics the reason why
I do the live stream is because it allows you it allows you to get in touch
with me live what could be better than having a live stream I don't think I
can't think of anything better to be honest many people now apparently are
falling asleep because they are enjoying the sleeping bull thank you very much it
isn't a cow it is in fact mr. bull having a little sleep there in the field
so well done to all those who got the mystery object correct so there it was
that is something you use for killing flies if you have a fly in your house
that is being a pain you can use this of course some people prefer to use use one
of these they just swapped the fly with with a shoe so you have a choice really
cute picture mr. Duncan your bull is very cute
thank you garlic for that it's very kind of you I love your bull it was very cute
says Mitra you are welcome no problem mr. Duncan what is the difference
between a cow and beef well a cow is the animal and beef is the meat that comes
from the cow so when we cut the meat from the cow we call it beef so beef
comes from the cow and of course there is pork as well pork comes from a pig
so pork comes from the pig and beef comes from the cow I hope that explains
that and of course if you have a big piece of beef we call it a steak steak
oh all this talk all this talk of meat is making me hungry mr. Duncan I think
your idiom is drag your feet says van Nguyen let's have a look today's mystery
idioms are right here so there is the first one look very closely at the
picture so don't just look at the middle of the picture look at the surrounding
as well look at the surrounding part of the picture so something else is going
on there and our second mystery idiom what is it and the question today what
is the worst movie you've seen I know over the past few months I've been
watching many movies and I've watched some absolutely awful movies now many
people don't like spider-man so many of the spider-man movies people have
criticized they've said that they're not very good also I am
man quite a few people don't like the third Iron Man film Iron Man 3 a lot of
people don't like that they think it's a load of rubbish
so can you name a movie that you've seen that you think or that you thought was
absolutely terrible a movie that you think is so awful if you think you you
have something to add to the list please let me know no problem here is another
video clip for you now this is a video that I made I think I made this a couple
of years ago now this is very old but it is a very interesting subject all about
the glass of water
this might look like just an ordinary glass of water but in fact it is
something much more symbolic the way in which you view this glass might reveal
how you view your own situation in life let me explain to some this glass is
half-full it is not empty it still has something to offer you there is still
some water left in the glass you could say that this is a positive way of
looking at the glass however to others this glass is half-empty there is not as
much water in the glass as there could be this could be viewed as being
negative and pessimistic your perspective of the world and your
situation in general can often be judged by whether you see that glass is
half-full or half-empty as for me well what do you think is my glass half-full
or half-empty being able to see the bright side of something is not easy but
it can be done after all tomorrow is indeed another day take another look at
your glass you might be pleasantly surprised by what you see
oh my goodness something very dramatic just happened then I had to turn the
microphone down because a huge plane just went over the top of my house it
went so low I don't know if you heard it then but for a few moments there my
microphone may have picked it up an aeroplane went solo over the top of my
house because very close to where I live today there is an air show taking place
lots of aeroplanes flying around doing acrobatic moves or as they call it
aerobatics aerobatics so aerobatic means that an aeroplane is doing special
maneuvers unusual maneuvers normally people stand around and watch the planes
flying around and and the airfield is not very far from where I live so the
planes are coming over very very low very low indeed so let's go outside now
shall we let's have another flash word shall we and who knows maybe a plane
will come over the top of your house at the same time let's have a look shall we
let's go outside yes we are now going outside I can't believe how low that
plane was he wished it was making the house shake
oh it's so windy outside today I can't believe how windy it is so let's just
make sure that no no aeroplanes come over the house like a few moments ago so
here we go today's Flash word oh this is a flash word I hope you enjoy this
today's Flash word is predecessor predecessor predecessor is an English
noun the word predecessor means a person who was in a position of office or
Authority before the current one a person who held a position or post
before the one holding it now is the predecessor it wasn't me who did that it
was my predecessor I'm the new manager here and I intend to do a much better
job than my predecessor I think you are confusing me with my predecessor as a
point of interest the person who is currently holding a position or post can
be described as incumbent the incumbent president or of course the incumbent
Prime Minister oh because here in the UK we have just had a general election that
recently took place on Thursday so at the moment Theresa May is the Prime
Minister but her predecessor her predecessor was David Cameron so there
it was today's first flash word
I have to say I can't believe how low that plane was it came so low over the
house it was a little bit scary to be honest a little bit scary indeed hello
to everyone who has just joined me it is mr. duncan live on youtube it is now
quarter past three 3:15 in the afternoon here in the UK and i will be with you
through until four o'clock so another 45 minutes before I disappear so Neal is
here hello Sunil thank you for joining me today
Thank You Sanel Jamelia is here oh yes lots of people enjoying the sleeping
ball thank you very much for your lovely comments Eugene says mr. Duncan the
worst film I have seen is an American horror film I don't even want to name it
so is to prevent people from watching it through curiosity it was bloody stupid
to the max that means it was very very stupid it was a silly movie so if
something is to the max it means it is all the way it is the highest point it
can be you do something to the max is it bel enjoyed the cows or should I say the
bull it is actually a bull it is a male sleeping in the field earlier I might
show it again later on if you want I might show it at the end of today's live
stream what a wonderful sight a bull having a nap oh isn't that a lovely word
yes nap if you have a nap it means you have a short sleep nap the first idiom
is drag your feet no it is not it isn't Thank You van no juin for your
guess thank you very much for that
mr. Duncan the worst film ever the white elephant I don't know that film to be
honest I don't know mr. Duncan I used to live near an airport when as when I was
a child so I know it I know the feeling yes well today there is a special air
show taking place so many many big airplanes are flying over the house so
they are going to the place where the display is taking place sir
and they are flying very low over my house and this happens every year at
around about around about early June so every year this takes place at a place
called Cosford Cosford so today the cost fir'd airshow is taking place is it the
sands of is it the sand shifting beneath your feet is the first mystery idiom the
sand it isn't sand so if I were to say that it's something else so it's not
sand it's something else so what else could be beneath your feet
what else could be beneath your feet and what would happen to your feet if you
were to stand there and there is the second idiom the mystery idiom don't
forget the answers will be coming later on so don't worry I will give you the
answers later on I won't keep you in suspense
don't worry moon five asks am I the only one who doesn't know English here no you
are not many people here are learning English as a Second Language
so don't worry moon five do not fear everyone is in a very similar position
except me is it itchy feet asks Olga is it itchy feet no it isn't it isn't thank
you for the compliment about my garden Palmyra Palmyra says nice garden thank
you very much for that for me all-american actions are worst do you
mean action movies is that what you mean says gala mr. Duncan how are you doing
I'm doing okay thank you very much mo al but today sadly I have a little bit of
hay fever today so my nose is a little bit sensitive and I keep sneezing so if
I suddenly disappear it's because I need to sneeze okay okay Simona has made a
guess concerning today's mystery idioms so
what are they there they are the mystery idioms but what are they what are they
mr. Duncan Eugene has also made a guess about the
idioms the mystery idioms well done Thank You Yugi a brill a brill Himura
says mr. Duncan the worst movie I have seen is Twilight ah be careful be
careful you will have Stephenie Meyer's fans getting very angry there used to be
a girl on YouTube who remembers nutty madam there was a YouTube user a
youtuber that went by the name of nutty madam and she was crazy about Twilight
does anyone remember nothing madam or is it only me but she used to go crazy
out Oh Twilight the new Twilight movie is coming out oh my god oh my god oh my
god oh my god oh my god about a good like that she used to get very excited
so who remembers nutty Madame nutty Madame was a big fan of Twilight mr.
Duncan is the mystery idiom pull the rug from under someone's feet well that is a
good guess but it's not the correct guess Oh Randall has something to say
about his worst or least favorite movie Randall says that I don't like Adam
Sandler you might not be alone there quite a few people don't like Adam
Sandler now he did make some good movies quite a few years ago many people
remember the waterboy the waterboy was was a very popular and successful movie
by Adam Sandler but later he made some terrible movies some awful awful movies
so Adam Sandler made some terrible movies I think I agree with you actually
and at the moment I don't know why on Netflix Netflix seem to have gone crazy
at the moment over Adam Sandler they keep showing his movies all the time on
Netflix I don't know why so Randall does not like Adam Sandler he's not a fan new
Jan is here I'm not sure what that means so I can't explain that one poor B
pipeline and rug blanket no they are not the mystery idioms but you are near with
the first one you are near you are very near I will give you the answers later
on Jamelia 10t says some french movies can be horrible
really do you have any particular French movies that you don't like Jamelia is
there something you want to share I always remember now I do like French
movies that there was a very famous French comedian he used to do silent
movies very similar to Charlie Chaplin and his name was Jacques Tati have you
ever heard of Jacques Tati Jacques Tati was a brilliant brilliant comedian he
used to mime most of his movies a very very funny man Eugene says Mr Duncan I
hate the Transformers movies me too they're so loud and obnoxious I can't
stand Michael Bay movies what is it about Michael Bay his movies are also
always they are always so noisy and grotesque I agree yes thank you Eugene
Eugene does not like the Transformers movies nor do I want Pablo says Garfield
was the worst movie I was sleeping all the time but I have to say to mr. Duncan
it was very nice the next day I don't know what that means I okay I don't
understand that part I'm sorry about that Oh
but I said to my sister that it was very nice and the next day she went to see
the movie and she lost her money as well that's not very nice is it
Magda says is the mystery idiom snowed under no it is not but you are close you
are very close mr. Duncan I think the idiom the first one is don't let the
grass grow under your feet that is a very good idiom but it isn't the wand
that I'm looking for so here it is again today's mystery idioms
there is the first one so take a close look at what you see what can you see
and there is the second mystery idiom I will reveal these later on I'm so
pleased to see that no one has said that mr. Duncan's movies are the worst I'm
very pleased to hear that thank you very much for your your vote of confidence
football we can hear you says Leena John oh thank you very much
I'm very very pleased to hear that very pleased indeed simona al simona I think
you and I are going to disagree here Simona says I think Woody Allen movies
are so boring I have to disagree I really do like Woody Allen I like his
movies I like many of his movies so yes so I'm sorry I I have to disagree I do
like Woody Allen I like I like his movies especially his very early movies
maybe some of his later movies weren't so good but his early movies very good
in fact in my living room I have a box set of Woody Allen movies I might show

some medicine is that something for me to take for my hay fever maybe is it
Belle Anton says that I did not like Birdman
Annagh oh yes Birdman of course Birdman was released about two years ago and it
did win the Oscar didn't it as well it did win the Oscar who was the star of
Birdman I think it was the guy that played Batman wasn't it yes I think so
talking of Batman some very sad news yesterday I don't know if you heard but
I am a person of a certain age and when I was growing up I used to watch the TV
series Batman which was made in the 1960s and sadly yesterday the man who
played Batman in the TV show sadly died Adam West died yesterday aged 88 a very
funny man he was brilliant in Batman such a strange surreal program and of
course Adam West also appeared in Family Guy playing a regular character mayor
west so yes very sad very sad to hear
yesterday of the death of Adam West who used to play Batman in the original TV
show during the 1960s so some very sad news there I must admit I did feel a
little pang of sadness when I heard heard the news this shunt says lion was
the worst movie I left the movie halfway through when you say lion do you mean
Lion King maybe I don't know all I see end Elson says kefir is a cultured milk
with it tastes very tart and maybe even sour but the two foods have some
differences as well so so why are you suggesting that is it something I should
be drinking do you think it will help me with my hay fever I'm not sure I usually
listen to your courses here but by accident I found you live and I take
my course live Thank You Saeed Saeed is here welcome and this is the first time
that you've seen me live here today thank you very much well there is some

Allen he is often criticized some people think his movies are not interesting but
I I am a big fan of Woody Allen and I have a box set featuring many of his
movies including Annie Hall I think actually I think Annie Hall is my
favorite Woody Allen film I must admit I do quite like Annie Hall and also
bananas see bananas is a brilliant film it's it's satirical it's a satirical
film and of course a very funny film everything you've always wanted to know
about sex but was too afraid to ask that's a brilliant movie also a very
very long title also Manhattan as well another very popular Woody Allen film so
yes I am a fan of Woody Allen I like his movies and just to prove it I have the
box set so yes I do like Woody Allen but not everyone not everyone likes him so

that Liam Neeson is one of the best actors hey my name is Li Liam Neeson I'm
gonna find you I'm gonna track you down and when I do I'm going to tickle you
I'm going to tickle you so much you will laugh until you weary yourself Liam

Wars prequel is it Bell Anton what is your favorite Woody Allen movie yes I
like Annie Hall I think Annie Hall is my favorite Woody Allen movie ravindau asks

you want to know that Matthew Boone says mr. Duncan to have both feet on the
ground no that is not the mystery idiom today although it is a very good one
it's a very good idiom yours is a good choice but it's not the one I'm looking
for unfortunately Estella mr. Duncan please
tell us about your YouTube teachers award yes during the week uh I was
ranked at number four number four on the list of YouTube
English lovers by a website called Babla babbler com so yes yes I I actually came
very high up on the list I was at number four on the list of best YouTube
language teachers and also I was the highest English teacher on the list so I
was at number four and I was the highest English teacher on the list
ooh so thank you very much for that of course I didn't mention it because I'm
very modest I don't like to talk about these things normally but thanks for
mentioning it thank you Estela for that I did yes I didn't come first okay I
came fourth but I was the highest ranked English teacher in the list thank you
very much for that hang tan you are so interesting oh thank
you very much for that I'm glad to hear it
I like that you have a sense of humor yes well you do because life can be very
long and sometimes life can be very difficult so I always find that having a
good sense of humor can get you through those difficult times I think so marry
sir says only number four mr. Duncan you were only number four
that's not very nice but but uh but I was the highest ranked English teacher
so the other ones the other ones that were higher than me on the list they
were teaching other languages Mike Schmid says the worst movie was the
first movie from Peter Jackson it is a horror movie before he made Lord of the
Rings I don't know which movie that is but I have heard of it I have heard that
he did make a horror movie but I can't remember what the title is I can't
remember what it is unfortunately thank thanks for that hello what is stronger
it's gone hello what is stronger for you Russia or the USA why do you care what I
think I think Woody Allen's characters are all
stressed people and because of that his films are boring
they are very repetitive Thank You Maria Maria Giovanna la Rosa says Woody
Allen's films are all the same some people might say the same thing about me
they might say mr. Duncan it's always the same you're always talking about
English thank you very much to end Elson writing once again about kefir which is
a fermented milk it tastes like yogurt oh well I am a big
fan of yogurt III always eat yogurt or do you do do you eat yogurt or do you
drink yogurt I'm not sure which which is it is it eat yogurt or drink yogurt
because yogurt is almost like a drink it's almost liquid
so thank you very much endo soon for that winter game good luck I don't know
what I means is the idiom stand on one's feet no it is not I will give you the
answer very shortly just another 22 minutes before I go mr. Duncan what
films or TV series do you recommend watching to help someone learn English
there is a very funny TV show made many years ago here in England called mind
your language so that might be something you can find on YouTube but really I
always recommend watching anything anything that has subtitles or anything
that you can listen to easily and that's the reason why many people like
listening to my lessons and also they like listening to my live streams
because it's very easy to listen to it's very easy to understand and of course if
you can understand something easily it's much easier to learn from
congratulations on your high list you are the best English teacher in the
world Thank You Maria thank you so much I do appreciate your lovely comments
thanks such a lot although I am getting very embarrassed by them we can hear the
sound outside oh yes is that better okay maybe you can't hear the sound now
I've turned it off my name is Nico Thank You Anderson or is it Nico I will call
you Nico okay here is the idiom for Teresa may to score an own goal oh yes
that's a good one if you score an own goal
it means you make the point against yourself
so you score a point against yourself so you score and
own goal own goal you score the point against yourself thank you very much
Isabel says mr. Duncan you speak very clearly and accurately it feels great
thank you very much to walk around in your bare feet is that the mystery idiom
I'm afraid not it is not so let's have a lesson now here comes another English
lesson and this is all about the subject of news this is a lesson that I made
quite a few years ago this is the NN news your news reader is dick sharp in
today's news famous actress gives birth I just knees it manning leaves misses
his bus and it's 20 minutes late for work unlike English teacher mr. Duncan
buys himself a new arrow sauce we have exclusive pictures all those stories
plus board with trevor has done much much more right here on dear the news
don't go away
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 look at words and
situations related to the world of news
this news is news the word news relates to any event or information that is
reported within a short time of it happening or information that was
previously unknown the word itself originates from Middle English and is
the plural of the word new there are many words related to news such as
announcement bulletin communique dispatch notice report wrecker Tosh and
statement that's interesting there are many ways of receiving or finding out
news we can read it in a newspaper we can hear it on the radio we can watch it
on the television we can search for it on the Internet we can receive it on our
mobile phones sometimes another person may tell us it when this happens
we describe it as word-of-mouth
sometimes we hear news that may be inaccurate or not true in this situation
we call it gossip rumor speculation oh tittle-tattle coming up next on DNN
entertainment news we have an exclusive interview without incoming rap star
t-bag when we read a newspaper the most important or newest stories will appear
on the front page when we watch the television news the most important
stories will be the first to be read out these are called
the headlines or the top stories look Co when a television or radio news report
is given we normally call this a news bulletin the information about each
story is given in short and easy-to-follow sentences over a period
of a few minutes the average news bulletin takes around 15 minutes to be
given a person who reads the news on TV or radio is called a news anchor news
caster news host or news reader
needless to say news covers many subjects including economics politics
social issues technology entertainment and sport it would be true to say that
not all the new events that occur can be reported and because of this they are
usually chosen depending on their importance and overall effect come on
over here give us a smile for our readers yeah they come on stay there
okay one more yeah thanks a lot the industry that collects and distributes
all the news stories around the world is called the media this word relates to
the fact that the person given the news is in the middle of the process it is
also worth noting that the word media can be used both as a singular and
plural noun people who collect the news are called journalists and if they work
for a newspaper they can also be called a Press reporter another gray
when an event or a new story happens suddenly then we call it breaking news
or developing news this means that not all the details of the story are yet
known a good example of this situation would be the moments following the first
attack on New York's World Trade Center in 2001 when breaking news happens it is
given priority above all other stories until more details are known thanks to
new technology we can now get all the news we need 24 hours a day via
satellite and cable TV stations this type of service is called rolling news
the current events being reported our show is text moving along the bottom of
the screen like this boom hello mr. cameraman I need my cameraman where
is he I need to make it higher he's gone for a supper oh that's no good
okay I'll do it myself quite a pop this new way of receiving news means that the
different channels must compete with each other for viewers some people
believe that this has caused a change in the way news is reported they accuse
news channels of worrying more about their ratings than the actual news they
are reporting despite this feeling it seems now more than ever before there is
a real need to be kept up-to-date and informed on what is happening in this
ever-changing world vas
there is an expression in English that goes no news is good news this means
that sometimes hearing nothing about a situation is better than the possibility
of receiving bad news before I finish my lesson today I would like to say a
special hello to my new friends watching in Brazil Chile Ethiopia Germany Israel
Japan Mexico the Philippines and Puerto Rico
this is mr. Duncan in England wishing you well and signing off to top it all
so there it was made nine years ago that lesson can you believe that is nine
years old that particular lesson but still very current because many people
at the moment are talking about news fake news how news is reported how facts
are used so whether something is true or not
or whether something that is untrue is passed as being true so at the moment
news and of course politics are two very hot topics so there it was a lesson made
9 years ago can you believe it I can't believe it here that many people saying
mr. Duncan you look so young 9 years ago it is true so back to the live chat and
of course we are looking at today's mystery idiom
I will give the answers very shortly we are here for around about another about
another 10 minutes 15 minutes about 15 minutes okay no problem I don't mind
so today's mystery idioms there is the first one and there is the second one
I'm getting lots of answers lots of guesses but none of them are correct so
far I think I've had one correct answer so far so there they are today's mystery
idioms but what are they and for those who want to see the sleeping bull again
I will show the sleeping bull at the very end of today's livestream so today
we will end with the sleeping bull in a roundabout 15 minutes is that okay I
hope so back to the live chat Muhammad Jericho asks mr. Duncan what does the
idiom keep your chin up mean if you keep your chin up
it means you stay happy you stay positive
so maybe perhaps your friend maybe you know a friend you have a friend who is
feeling very unhappy or sad or down you can say oh go on keep your chin up
keep your chin up stay happy stay positive keep your chin up I hope that
helps you a few moments ago I mentioned a TV show called mind your language and
here is the DVD I love this program so much I even have it on DVD and I used to
watch this TV show when I was a child when I was just a young person many many
years ago this was made in the late 1970s this particular program and this
British TV program takes a humorous look at the problems faced by
those learning English as a second language much of the humor comes from
the misunderstandings between the teacher of the class Jeremy brown and
his multi nationality class this particular show ran for three series
with a fourth one made in the mid-1980s which apparently is now presumed lost
some people have criticized the show for its portrayal of the students as
cultural stereotypes nevertheless mind your language is still watched by those
who speak English as a first language and this program is enjoyed by those
learning it as their second language so there it is a very funny TV program all
about people learning English as a second language and the TV show is
called mind your language I think now I don't want to tell you to
do things that are illegal or forbidden or wrong but there are some episodes of
mind your language on YouTube so if you search for mind your language and as far
as I know some of the episodes have subtitles on YouTube
sadly the DVD doesn't have subtitles which i think is sad really it's quite a
shame but on YouTube some people have uploaded episodes of mind your language
and you can find them on YouTube and some of them do have subtitles
don't forget talking of subtitles you can also watch this live stream later
with subtitles oh my goodness Mercedes duart says mr. Duncan you were
so young in that video lesson yeah it was nine years ago that's probably
the reason why I'm sure we all looked very young nine years ago I think so
some more than others hmm back to the live chat got humor says
congratulations for being ranked as one of the best online English teachers
thank you very much I came number four and I was the highest ranked English
language teacher on YouTube so thanks a lot for that
Isabel your mobile phone in the video is really antique yes well it was nine
years ago technology 9 years ago was very different from what what it is now
Andrew says talking of news if a dog has bitten a man it's not news but if a man
has bitten a dog then that's what we call news yes I think nowadays a lot of
the news is very dramatic it is very sensational I think that's a word that
we use a lot now when we talk about news we often talk about news being
sensational so it means it dramatis Isis as that word I invented that word by the
way to dramatis eyes something or dramatize if you over dramatize
something it means you make it more than it really is
so I think a lot of news stories now go for a very sensational angle so you get
stories that are very dramatic I think so
thank you very much Andrew for that Samuel is here from Brazil Thank You
Samuel thank you for joining me today lots of people today on the live chat
Matthew Boone oh hello Matthew boom today I installed
a birdbath in my garden oh I see yes so now you are you are trying to attract
birds because in my god then I also have a birdbath can you see

picture you can see a birdbath sadly no birds there aren't any birds

I'm very intrigued very intrigued indeed Eliana says thank you for your tip I am
going to find that video oh I see do you mean mind your language there it is yes

uploaded this to YouTube although it's very naughty and illegal I have been
watching your videos for a while says Gendry oh thank you very much Jin Gendry
oh thank you very much it's lovely to hear that you've been watching my videos
for a long time I think the expression in your mystery idiom is stand on your
own feet well that is a very good expression it isn't the one I'm looking
for but stand on your own two feet means to take care of yourself or to stand up
for yourself to defend yourself is to stand on your own two feet I remember
when I started to watch you I understood very little but today I I feel moved by
my improvement thank you very much Javaris Jawara is ferlyn thank you and
thank you very much for watching me and trusting me thank you
Trang Sara says I like your tie oh yes do you like my tie this is my UK
tie because many people think that I'm in the United States but I'm not in the
USA I am actually in the United Kingdom it is a different country yes it is it

the idioms so these are today's mystery idioms I will be giving you the answer
very shortly because we are coming towards the end of today's stream oh I'm

mystery idiom and there is the second one the first one I think we have a
correct answer ah yes we have one correct answer yes

did the practice you did the hardest part so congratulations
Gendry Oh for that well done mr. Duncan is the first idiom itchy feet it isn't
no I love this one ah this expression I shot myself in the foot well some people
have said that Teresa may has shot herself in the foot because she's done
something that has harmed herself well done I like that expression although
it's not the mystery idiom I'm sorry about that it isn't I've already
explained what - keep your chin up means to keep your chin up is to stay happy
and positive if you keep your chin up it means to stay positive and happy
my suggestion for the second idiom it goes in one ear and out the other
it isn't that it isn't that one note hello mr. Duncan I knew here I would
like to improve my English Zakaria hello Zakaria and welcome if
it's your first time here today welcome I will be going in around about three
minutes we only have three minutes left oh no mr. Duncan please could you inform

welcome I love doing this it is the reason why I am here in a moment I will
go into my kitchen and I'm going to eat some of this that will be my my snack in
around about five minutes time so in a few moments I'm going to go into my
kitchen and I will have some delicious bread can you see that bread there it is
a very special type of bread it is called Tiger bread why do you think it's
called Tiger bread the reason is because the colour looks a little bit like a
tiger I think so so that is what I'm going to be eating in a few moments time
I'm going to have some some delicious tiger bread ooh

Mima me me or Mina Mina thank you very much for that Pierre says goodbye and

goodbye thanks for watching I will be back with you next week the mystery
idioms let's have a look shall we the first one I think maybe two people
got this right the first mystery idiom cold feet because of course the feet are
standing on the snow so if you stand on something cold you will get cold feet
and the second mystery idiom the second mystery idiom is in the pipeline ah
so if something is in the pipeline it is something that is in the planning stages
it is something that will happen in the future it is something you are planning
to do later it is something that is in the pipeline and the first one cold feet
