hello hello hello hello hello everybody my name is steve ford welcome to your
English lesson today I have a great lesson a continuation talking about
words that we use to describe how we feel and how often we can confuse these
words so I hope that you enjoy this lesson the lesson so here's something
for you to visualize as you can see it on your screen right now oh yeah what do
you consider being dangerous a and by the way this is called bungee jumping
bungee jumping would you try it I'm not sure I I think they I don't know I think
I might wolf my cookies I might barf I might
puke I might throw up there's an interesting story about that this comes
from a student of mine from Saudi Arabia Ayman and Ayman I asked him one time I
said I'm and have you ever tried bungee jumping and that's what this is bungee
jumping and Ayman said yeah I did it it was no problem and then immediately
after I was on the ground I I threw up I vomited I barf I puked I was calling for
my brother Ralph Wow one is called ziplining in case you don't know on your
GoPro I I've done that myself I've done ziplining before do I consider it
dangerous I don't know but you let me know in your comments if you think that
ziplining is dangerous for you and you'll notice here that this is the
correct spelling the other ones there's an I'm missing this regard that so maybe
you feel like her all of those things make you feel a
terrific be terrifying see terrified mwah-mwah-mwah how would you what do you
think is the correct answer here what do you think but the correct answer was
drumroll please
terrified so in this case this young lady feels terrified of all of those
things I mean just thinking about them bungee jumping ziplining skydiving
snowboard all of those it's making her feel a little nervous okay let's let's
feel a little sorry for this person because maybe this is you in some cases
this is me it could be all of us for some people no problem right
some people they love that kind of thing some people are what we call Daredevils
some people they like dangerous sports high adrenaline they like the thrill
they like something thrilling so in this case she feels terrified do any of these
terrify you flying maybe walking the streets at night maybe your boss maybe
the future which would terrify you you okay so I see that a lot of people here
our posting letter D that the future can be a little terrifying and my thoughts
on it I have two ideas on this that if you are afraid of the future we are
together we are all together with this so I think that's one thing is that a
lot of people are terrified of the future we are not alone so I think that
if we can be together and find ways to talk about it and help each other then
maybe the futures not so terrifying and another thing is that
sometimes we have control of our future with the way that we think the way that
we feel so if you can think in a positive way you can create your future
now yeah yeah so I think this is an important thing to remember is that
sometimes sometimes you make the future happen you cause the future to happen so
if you're always thinking about Oh something bad is going to happen
something bad is going to happen yeah probably something bad is going to
happen but if you try to think positively even if you don't believe it
but just say to yourself okay okay something positive is going to happen
something then something positive is going to happen I guarantee it
now maybe all of these are okay if you are not a alone or lonely which one do
you think is correct grammatically so if you thought that the answer was alone
yes it is alone and I'm going to explain the difference between alone and lonely
as I was saying before of course it's a lot easier to do these things if you're
if you're not alone if you're with other people and alone of course means that
you are with other you are not with other people and if you feel lonely let
me just go back to that slide there if you feel lonely it means that you would
like to be with other people you would like to be with that oh I'm
feeling lonely how much how many of us sometimes feel lonely on a Sunday and we
go to Instagram and we're you know it's the Sunday Instagram swipe the endless
swipe on Instagram looking at all those lovely
pictures on Instagram instagrams awesome isn't it so many fantastic pictures to
not feel lonely face these better all of these situations if you are not a by
your own beat on yourself or see by yourself what do you think if you
thought that the answer is C high five high five that is correct
so high five the answer is letter C by yourself the first one by your own is
incorrect it does not exist on yourself is incorrect it does not exist only by
yourself exists yes so that was a tricky question I tried to make that a little
tricky so by yourself means to be alone it's another way or you could say to be
on your own that also means to be alone little different in meaning some people
don't scare so easily because they are more a sensitive or be sensible what do
you think this is your opinion too but who is not going to feel so afraid
somebody who is sensitive or somebody who's sensible if you thought that the
answer was sensible high five high five yes the answer is sensible and we're
gonna see the difference here between sensitive and sensible they sound very
similar but there is a big difference as you can see in the picture here somebody
who is sensible is somebody who is rational someone who is sensible keeps
their feet on the ground I was thinking about this it's kind of funny because we
say oh he he or she has his feet on the ground
they are rational they don't scare easy but somebody who has their feet on the
ground probably would it would be easier for them to do something like skydiving
bungee jumping where you don't physically have your feet on the ground
think about it so that's somebody who's sensible
somebody who has their feet on the ground someone who is sensitive is more
emotional and many times can feel the emotions of others more easily what is
important to have a boss who is sensitive or sensitive the sensible
so there's your sensitive boss would you like to have a sensitive boss hi or do
you want a sensible boss somebody who is more rational logical which boss would
you prefer and all of the people watching this live lesson all of you are
voting for the sensible boss that's the kind of bus that you want let's go to
the next one which is more sensible when you want some comfort food the chocolate
or the Apple which is more sensible Fabiano has a very good question what is
comfort food Fabiano comfort food it is as I was
explaining it's when you feel stressed out and you need something to make you
feel calm to calm you down what is more sensible when you want some
comfort food ok choc lali lali chocolate when I'm
lonely yeah that that sounds like a song by
Elvis Presley doesn't it like chocolate when I'm lonely Lada Mira's saying no
whiskey Steve that's that's the ultimate comfort food you could still be sensible
if you eat less of what you like so you could
eat one piece of chocolate 35 calories or one Apple 35 calories so there's
still a way to have some comfort food there do you think I'm saying A or B
if you thought that I said letter B give me a high five that is correct
I said hungry so be careful the pronunciation of those two words
describing how we feel is very similar so in this case we would say hungry yeah
the tricky thing is that when we say it fast the pronunciation becomes more
difficult to hear because the H disappears hungry I'll be hungry I'll be
hungry I'll be i if you said it slowly I'll I
will be hungry but if I say it fast the H disappears I'll I'll be hungry yeah
I'll say the other one I will be angry I'll be I will be angry I'll be hungry
I'll be hungry angry angry angry angry grumpy cat is what does grumpy mean it
means angry in a bad mood Wow and maybe you can feel a little grumpy sometimes
if you don't eat all the chocolate that you want or if you just eat that Apple I
don't know if you're on a diet grumpy cat looks very a bored be
annoying see boring D annoyed which do you think is correct some of you who are
intermediate students some of you who are learning English at an intermediate
level some of you probably thought two of the answers were correct if you look
at grumpy cat's face really there's only one answer
and in this case we would say that grumpy cat is annoyed so it's important
to understand the difference between bored and annoyed because annoyed is
when something is bothering you you are irritated you're you're grumpy like
grumpy cat just look at them the other one that we have here bored is you're
not annoyed you're not bothered you're not grumpy yeah bored is more though hmm
that's bored when there's really nothing happening so try to understand the
difference between bored and annoyed are fully in another lesson we can talk
about the difference between bored boring annoyed annoying I hope that you
