hello Jessica how's it going today fantastic I am so excited to be here with you Lindsay me
too Jessica it's great to be on video we are on YouTube and of course on the podcast today we
have something super important and special to talk about today what are we getting into for
our listeners oh my gosh we have a favor to ask of you guys and we are going to talk about that word
favor and teach you two definitions you probably do not know but first guys we want to tell you
about this favor and the one thousand dollars worth of prizes that are available oh my gosh a
thousand dollars in prizes so that's huge so let's just come out and say it to our audience what we
are asking you guys to do today is to complete our simple survey so that we can really understand
you guys and what you need from us from all ears English right Jessica exactly this is the perfect
time to do this because we are planning 2023 we're looking forward to a new year and it's the
holidays right so all of this we want to give away some presents but we also want to plan the best
year for all yours English so we can help you the most yes and I love that you said presents Jessica
because it is all about the present when it comes to this survey isn't it I love that so much so
yes go to allersenglish.com survey and start right now because there are going to be how many winners
15 in total so 10 people are going to get free transcripts and five lucky winners are going
to get a free 15-minute chat conversation um with the authors English host of your choice yes I love
this idea of we call it a meet and greet right a 15-minute meet and greet for free you get to meet
one of us you can decide who you want to meet with and the odds are really good guys with 15 winners
and a total of a thousand dollars in prizes you guys have a really good chance of winning here
right we don't have to do the math it's going to be really good I don't want to do math ever
um but go to ollersenglish.com survey and fill that out uh because only the ones who complete
it can win so allersenglish.com survey all right so that is a great example of us asking
for a favor right what is this common definition first yeah okay guys so what is a favor this is
something that is done as a kindness or to help someone else when nothing is really expected
in return however of course in this case there are prizes there's something in return for the
lucky listeners are lucky audience members who go ahead and are selected right Jessica exactly
um so here's another example of favor this is the way I use it a lot um can you do me
a favor I have to work and I can't pick up James from school can you give him a ride this was the
first example that came to my to mine because uh mom literally texted this to me yesterday right so
I needed to give her kid a ride home from school but it's always used in that grammar structure
can you do me a favor right and we can also say could you do me a favor right what would be the
difference there not too much difference in that case not a lot could is a little
bit more polite it's not as direct which makes it more polite yes I love that so good so good
all right let's keep moving Jessica what comes next in what our listeners need to know yes so
um as a noun right the first is a noun this is also a noun this is to be well liked and
it's actually a phrase in favor to be in favor so we can say this is a funny modern example
you guys uh Lindsay do you wanna do you want to read this example oh I love this to be in
favor so the mom jeans are in favor again I can't believe all the kids are wearing this
style right now oh my gosh terrible her mom jeans anyways are they skinny jeans no they're like the
high-waisted jeans like I look around James middle school and all the girls look the same same they
look like they could be from the 90s it's like these short crop tops yes and mom jeans which
are just high-waisted jeans it looks terrible I don't know why this style is in favor right now
um I don't approve personally I don't approve either but you know what it's funny I was just
talking about this with someone the other day it's true I I will not wear those I will not pull them
off but I also said that about skinny jeans for the longest time and probably about five years ago
I got into skinny jeans so what do you think you and me both I yeah you know what we are nothing if
not ever changing animals and that I have that same exact experience with skinny jeans right
we thought it looked ridiculous I did I thought it looked ridiculous I would never wear that it would
look totally and then all the jeans look like that you just become so used to it and that is
what's in favor So eventually you drop on the drop onto the bandwagon right I think also what it is
is you keep trying and they don't fit and you're like oh these are terrible but you find one pair
right make you look super good and you're like oh okay I'm on board now uh I understand all right
um what is the third way we use a favor all right so this is to prefer something as a verb
guys for example if you look in my closet it's obvious I favor clothes in black is that true
about you Jessica do you wear a lot of black I'm wearing black right now come watch us on YouTube
um yeah what color do you favor in clothes well I really like brighter I like a little bit of
everything but I like bright clothes I actually like pink um but not yeah sometimes I like little
pink thrown in there lots of different things blue pink all kinds of colors Jessica to be
honest but it sounds like you should be living in New York if you're always wearing black it's just
the easiest thing and honestly I'm also really messy and I like spill stuff all the time time
yeah and I think that's one reason you want to cover up the spills okay I love it I love it
yeah all right guys go to all your things dot com slash survey help us help you
um like we said guys this is a favor that you are doing us because we love you and we want to
bring you the best podcast the best material for you in 2023 but we also want to give you
