well anyway let's get into this the
the kind of super fast too speedy
speedy advanced listening practice
practice exercise anyway today I wanted
wanted to talk about something and
and I want to introduce myself a little
little bit more i know you know a
a little bit about me but maybe you
you have some questions about me and
and these are other things I could
could maybe possibly answer in this
this in this listening practice thing
thing where I'm talking a bit more
more about myself and not necessarily
necessarily teaching anything about
about the language even though maybe
maybe i'll talk a little bit about
about specific things or teach other
other things like that look
look how quickly I'm going so fast
fast it feels fantastic to be speaking
speaking with you
you quickly like this you know I get
get all excited you know some days
days I actually think you know I'd
I'd like to teach some other things
things in addition to teaching English
English just because you know there's
there's a lot of things you know especially
especially like business and gardening
gardening and other things like this
this that you know i can actually
actually get a lot more information
information out to people quicker
quicker because i can speak more quickly
quickly like that but anyway today
today I wanted to give a little bit
bit more maybe a little bit more background
background about myself and I thought
thought I talked about just an interesting
interesting story and maybe this will
will give you something to think about
about it as well a
a friend of mine you know his name
name is kevin has really good friend
friend of mine and he and he has some
some interesting things kind of some
some facts about himself that he will
will tell people you know it's just
just kind of something different in
in something interesting and knew
knew about him that helps other people
people remember him in that way and
and one of them is the fact that he's
he's allergic to Christmas trees he's
he's allergic to Christmas trees which
which is really funny so
so he's never had a real Christmas
Christmas tree in his house he's always
always had a plastic tree I
I really love an actual christmas
christmas tree and the smell of that
that in the house it's really great
great but in his case he couldn't
couldn't do anything like that so
so he's allergic to Christmas trees
trees
trees now
now the thing i'd like to share about
about myself today and I'd like you
you also to share something below
below about yourself in the comments
comments is I've got two scars see
see if i can get closer to the camera
camera
camera kind
kind of hard to see here right here
here
here so
so I've got two scars on my chin one
one from each of my sisters and the
the middle of three children I have
have an older sister and a younger
younger sister and you know this is
is just a quick story about how I
I got this scar from each one of them
them so i think i got the the older
older of my older sister gave me the
the first scar you know we are playing
playing in my house and she was holding
holding me by my feet and spinning
spinning me around just holding me
me you know by my feet and spinning
spinning me around in the living room
room
room just
just one day we were playing and then
then she let me go so
so she let my feet go and i went flying
flying and I my head went like this
this
this I
I on the the edge of a window sill
sill
sill so
so when you're looking at a window
window it's actually interesting when
when you go into these kind of particular
particular things about the language
language
language there's
there's so many tiny insignificant
insignificant things that maybe you
you wouldn't know the word or the
the answer to something like that
that but it's really interesting to
to think about so
so you got the window itself and the
the actual glass this is called the
the windowpane but
but the windowsill is the little little
little kind of shelf part on the bottom
bottom where you can put flowers and
and other things like that is called
called the windowsill so
so it's a place where you can you
you know what ever put your little
little drink or something like that
that
that so
so anyway she threw me at this thing
thing and i went and i split my chin
chin open here i split my channel
channel Ben and I was you know blood
blood was coming out and it was you
you know it was pretty bad actually
actually but i'm still alive and I'm
I'm here to teach you today now
now the other one this is from my
my younger sister and this is where
where we went out to a I forget how
how old we were maybe we were maybe
maybe ten and eight years old or something
something we're about two years apart
apart
apart so
so this is a great way to describe
describe you know an age difference
difference between you and somebody
somebody else you can say well we're
we're two years apart of three years
years apart for years apart where
where there's a four-year difference
difference but apart is a really great
great conversation a way to express
express this so my sister and I are
are two years apart so
so I'm older and she's younger but
but anyway so we're out Eddie took
took it's a camping trip you know
know when I was younger man used used
used to go out with my family a lot
lot to be like my mom and my two sisters
sisters and I we would go out you
you got to do a lot of camping and
and we would get in the car drive
drive to all these different places
places we would go out west as they
they say in America so
so I'm from Chicago and we would get
get in the car and drive out west
west because you know my mom just
just love the scenery out there Chicago
Chicago is very boring and flat we
we do have a nice lake but there's
there's no mountains and no ocean
ocean things like that so we went
went out west to try to put you know
know experienced some more of that
that
that so
so what we did you know we would go
go to these campgrounds in one place
place we would always you know we
we would always look for a place with
with a pool but this one place we
we happen to go to it had a pool and
and I was trying to get out of the
the pool side side swam to the edge
edge of the pool the lip of the pool
pool and I would try to get out in
in my sister for some odd reason for
for some stupid reason she pushed
pushed my head down and then I split
split much in again on the pool so
so I think I probably been split the
the same scar that I had for the previous
previous one for my older sister which
which is really weird but so
so I got a way to remember both of
of my sister is a nice thing like
like that
like that so
so I'm really happy that I have I
I you know I got this experience and
and now like the problem is it because
because I have a scar there when i
i try to grow a beard or beard grows
grows out like it comes out Patchi
Patchi Patchi this is a really great
great word that means it's like kind
kind of little places you know where
where you have a scar and the hair
hair doesn't grow out there right
right anymore so if you have a you
you know when you're young you don't
don't have a lot of scars on your
your face but as you get older maybe
maybe get some scars and you know
know the beer doesn't come out you
you know in like a weird way sometimes
sometimes actually hate shaving and
and I think it's kind of like on my
my nerves is kind of a tangential
tangential thing a tangential thing
thing where you're going to talk about
about something else thats related
related to that but anyway just you
you know thinking about this idea
idea about shaving I really hate shaving
shaving
shaving maybe
maybe i'm going to get like laser
laser treatment on my face like the
the little laser thing is that my
my face I don't have to shave anymore
anymore because it's a real this is
is a real pain and yes I don't know
know if you have to shave but you
you know it's maybe maybe for the
the ladies if you're a man out there
there maybe you can talk about that
that in the comments do you like shaving
shaving
shaving that's
that's something you like doing on
on it that i have a new razor actually
actually that I enjoy using button
button adds just enough it's
it's a pain in the ass really but
but anyway I don't want to give you
you too much information but really
really should go back and watch as
as many many times you can listen
listen to me and you can really get
get a sense for my blending of the
the pronunciation and the words i'm
i'm using and and all the things that
that I explained as well to go back
back
back watch
watch this a few times and again if
if you like this give us a like be
be sure to tell other people about
about it and make sure this gets over
over 10,000 views so i can release
release the next one have
have a fantastic day and I'll see
