coming and welcome to your English lesson yeah how are you guys doing how
are some people are on holidays right now and they're enjoying their holidays
I hope that you're enjoying your holidays if you're on holidays New
Year's is coming up quite soon that's going to be at the beginning of next
week what are you going to do for New Year's let me know in your comments and
yeah so we're going to do a continuation today of what we were doing last week
and that's words that people confuse when they're speaking English it happens
to a lot of people even when they are very advanced learners so we are going
to do some more and hopefully this will this will help you so I'm going to
change screens back here you can see the many words some of these we already did
last week we did remember and remind we did miss and lose last week in case you
haven't seen the video we did stranger and foreigner we did fun and funny and
we did travel and trip so we're going to continue on with that and at this time
of year it's a lot of people are starting to think about 2019 they are
starting to think about what changes they would like to see happen in their
lives what new things they would like in their lives it can be so many things and
a good idea is to before thinking about what you would like to have is to be
thankful or grateful to be happy for what you already have so this is my
question for you is what are you grateful for and as I
said before grateful means thankful a lot of people maybe they feel grateful
because they have a great family so maybe you're like well Steve I have a
great family I'm really grateful I'm really thankful could be that it could
be that you have awesome friends if you do lucky you we're kind of all friends
here on on YouTube live and it could be that you're grateful to have a healthy
life I can see that raouf been Geetha has just mentioned that that they're
very grateful to have a healthy life and yeah we've got another vote for a great
family that's from violence Louise is saying
that he's grateful to have a great family and the last one is life
experiences so what I mean by that is maybe maybe you have had already some
experiences travel friends work experience personal experience maybe you
feel grateful or thankful for some of the experiences that you've had in your
life and oh I think I just got a message here from one of our viewers and let me
just see here and by the way if you would like to record your answer about
what you are grateful for for example some people are saying all all for you
can always send it to my what app group and you can send your message that's the
first one there is what you are grateful for so many things that we are grateful
for the next one is what you want in 2019 and each year many people around
the world like to make resolutions so in case you don't know a resolution is kind
of like in 2019 I am going to do this I'm
going to do that that's a resolution so we have for example take a trip find a
new job help others join a gym save money lose weight quit smoking give
gifts get fits drink less find love enjoy life so many different resolutions
that you can make for 2019 yeah so those are some of the the things that you can
make a resolution for I would be curious to know are there any things from that
list that you would like to happen or to do in 2019 I'm sure that there are many
of you watching this video that you think oh yeah that one there yeah
definitely I mean I can see a few that I would like to do already so yeah so
Julia take a trip to Canada why not yeah violins lose weight yeah Oh lolly lolly
a lot of boyfriends fantastic Wow overwhelming overwhelming and get a new
job that's a good one too so those are many of the resolutions so we're going
to talk about a few of them Luca man's got to change his car mm-hmm okay yeah
hello everybody who is coming into the lesson rate now hello if you are just
coming in hello hello more people in the house and let's go to the next one many
people also dream about things they would like to happen so this is the
resolutions maybe you would like to earn or win a lot of money what's the
difference does anybody know the difference between earn a lot of money
and win a lot of money are they the same thing don't think so earn and win
well in case you don't know the difference between earn and win I
already see some people saying yeah if it's money it doesn't matter I'll
take it any way I can get it Steve earn it when it's I'm open to suggestions
and what we have in the difference is this that earn you work for it
so you earn money means you have a job you have to work for that money
but if you win the money you win the lottery you win a game at the casino
that's when so when you win money it's a lot easier the money comes more easily
than if you have to earn it day after day week after week month after month
year after year yes and earn is actions to do after then you will get the money
yeah good explanation MSAA exactly what is MSA a stand for mm-hmm and when this
is from all away means getting some thing like a lottery or something like
that exactly like my explanation yeah high five for those who were correct so
be careful with the difference between win and earn those are two words that a
lot of people will confuse will mix up let's go to the next one and in the next
one maybe you'd like to earn a six digit salary so a six digit salary means maybe
you would like to make $100,000 $200,000 why not why not I'm sure that's a lot of
people they dream about that not everybody some people are more
interested in in life experiences so maybe you would like to earn a six digit
salary lali lali saying just give me the million dollars yeah so lolly lolly out
there in France is saying it just give me the million dollars yeah I just want
to win the million dollars that's good yeah I'll take the the win situation and
with that six digit salary with a lot of
money you can buy a new sports car and drive it to your job or drive it to your
work hey Luqman there's your new car man why
not drive it to your job or drive it to your work which one do you think is
correct and I will wait okay so okay I'm getting a mix interesting yeah look some
I said I don't want that sports car we're getting some great answers here
okay and if you thought that the correct answer was letter B you are correct so
this is another set of words that people often confuse work and job I hear it
every day when I'm teaching my lessons oh I when I go to my job no no yeah so
if you thought that it was go to your work drive it to your work that's
correct so work is your work place where you work and drive and job is the kind
of work you do so you I can say you know my job is teaching English and I don't
need to drive to work yeah but work is your workplace mm-hmm yes so that's
that's the difference between work and job so I hope that's clear you can see
the difference between drive to work and drive to your job yes okay so let's go
to the next one or maybe you'd like to hit the jackpot by winning the lottery I
won yes and we saw that with lolly lolly from France mentioned that she would
like to win 1 million dollars in the lottery which is great fantastic
so if we go to the next one probably better to keep it secret just
let's let's think about this lolly lolly out there in France so lolly let's say
that you get you receive that $1,000,000 you know what's going to happen don't
you friends and family that you have not seen for a very long time are going to
lolly hi long time no see oh why don't you ever call me yeah I was wondering if
I could borrow if IQ could land oh yeah okay so
probably it's better to keep it secret if you win a lot of money so that people
you haven't heard from in years knock at your door and ask you a can you lend me
some money or B can you borrow me some money which one do you think is correct
there and I've already got some answers for this one here okay okay great Oh mmm
interesting interesting we've got it we've got a mix of answers here folks
which one is it oh it's so confusing so confusing yeah this is another difficult
one if you thought that the answer was letter a high five high five the answer
is letter A can you lend me some money so a way to remember this and for those
of you that got the answer incorrect don't feel sad because a lot of people
make this mistake for you to remember the difference between lend and borrow
can you lend me lend is like give temporarily and then can I borrow is
take temporarily yeah now it's funny because in in my my wife often says in
her culture that if you lend money or borrow money it's never
temporary mm-hmm it's it's like forever especially if it's family the cultural
difference there but yeah so that's the difference between lend and borrow so
hopefully that helps you to understand better yeah lend is to give and borrow
is to take exactly MSAA mm-hmm so that's the difference there let's go to the
next one for sure a lot of people put traveling to another country at the top
of their lists so I know from our previous lessons a lot of us have been
studying together for years Facebook live YouTube live Instagram live they'll
probably come up with another one these are some things that people like to do
travel travel to different countries so many people would like to a know a new
country a be visit a new country um see meet a new country let's see which one
it is okay I'm getting a lot of votes for letter B yeah we seem to have it it
seems to be a general idea that it should be letter B are you sure are you
sure do you want to consult the audience to to check with you answer okay I can't
fool you yes you if you thought the answer was letter B you are correct you
got it right you got it right it's letter B high-five so we say visit
a country and you can't say no a country but the meaning is different meets you
can't say meet a country I mean that just does not work so I'm going to
explain to you how you can use know and meet so if you know a country you are
familiar with that country so for example I know New
York very well like the back of my hand and maybe you have a similar expression
in your language I know that place like like the back of my we say in English we
say the back of my hand maybe you say the palm of your aunt maybe you say like
your I don't know your arm your leg some part of your body but it means that you
are very familiar with it I know that place very well I have visited it many
times but visit with which we mentioned before means that you go there and you
travel there that's the general one that we use there's another one which is meet
and you don't meet a new country I mean that's just that's just wrong so please
try to avoid saying yeah I met your country I met your country in the past I
traveled to to Canada in the past no we would say you would not say that we'd
say I visited your country I have been to your country yeah so we don't meet
new places we meet new people and that's usually for the first time okay let's go
to the next one of course traveling to another country gives you it the chance
to test new kinds of food to try new kinds of food to prove new kinds of food
Oh which one do you think it is very curious to see your answers on this one
so which one do you think it is a B or C
okay we've got a few votes coming in here few votes coming in
oh so we've got a mix of answers here interesting so the people that are
watching this lesson will have the opportunity to will have the opportunity
to see the different answers that people are posting mm-hmm and I yeah okay soku
all and the answer is letter B so if you thought that the answer was letter B you
are correct high five high five yes so we say you could also use taste that
would work too so we try new kinds of food in English or we taste new kinds of
food and if you go a lot of people will also be planning to buy some new clothes
remember we're talking about 2019 and the future maybe you are watching this
video in 2020 2021 2030 who knows but maybe you want some new clothes for the
new year so a lot of people will also be planning to buy some new clothes before
you buy new clothes you need to test them to prove them to try them on
what do you think Oh lolly lolly lolly lolly
okay me hmm okay interesting interesting
okay that was very good folks yeah everybody everybody gets a high-five
from Steve Ford high five high five because everybody got that rate so it is
if you thought the answer was letter C you are correct yes to try them on yeah
I can't fool you that was good so we try try to remember that that we try on
clothes and that we can try new food or taste new food somebody sent me somebody
sent me a voice message I think on our whatsapp group so let me check it out
yes let's see oh he said he's giving the answer yeah it is try them on that is
correct yes MA that's it I can't see the rest of your name but okay very good and
if you want to send your answer just like that YouTube viewer did you can
always go to our live whatsapp group and leave your message let's go to the next
one which is this one here the reason those clothes
sometimes those clothes don't fit right and the reason that those clothes don't
fit is because most are made in China so I don't know if you know about this but
some people they like to buy clothes online maybe you like to buy clothes
online on Amazon eBay Alibaba and sometimes when they say large or medium
you know like medium is actually small large is actually medium extra-large is
actually large and there's a reason for that
it's because most of those clothes are made in China and Chinese sizes are not
so big as Western sizes our Chinese sizes are not as big as
Western sizes what do you think is correct let me know okay
okay okay okay seems to be good yeah seems like everybody's getting the right
the right answer there so okay be careful there to Idina yes
and suffer be careful that is correct so if you thought that
the answer was letter be as big as western sizes that's correct so that's
as as that we use we would not use so in this case so be very careful that's
another mistake a lot of people will make and let's go to the next one bonus
material maybe you would like a new boss who isn't so boring or annoying so what
I would like you to do look at the boss here is this boss boring or is this boss
annoying or maybe I should ask is your boss a or b no no but in the picture
what we'll ask about the picture first
okay okay okay this is good this is good okay most people are getting it that's
great so if you thought that the answer was letter B that is correct high-five
so we would say annoying so there's a difference between annoying and boring
in some languages no but in English yes but annoying is that annoying of course
means someone or something that makes you feel agitated they make you feel a
little angry a little uh a little nervous they get on yours that is
annoying yeah so that's that's the the boss there
and boring of course is someone or something that makes you feel sleepy so
hopefully hopefully in this coming year you can find some people that are not
boring or annoying you want to find people that motivate you that inspire
you and maybe you can find maybe you would like to find a teacher too to
answer them give me one second here maybe you'd like to find a teacher to
answer all of your questions so let's see if we can find a teacher to answer
all of our questions here and that's of course something that a lot of people
watching this lesson of course are looking for as well I know that they're
looking for a teacher to answer their questions and you would not say doubts a
lot of people will there's some confusion about doubts and questions
teacher I have a doubt no we would say question what is the difference
questions about English that's different from doubts when you have a doubt it
means you feel insecure oh I'm not sure you know that that's doubt a question is
more like an intellectual curiosity do you see the difference though there's a
difference between questions and doubts and that's it everybody I hope you
