Bucket? What’s inside it? A list, oh my gosh, bucket list, what's that? Do you know?
In this lesson, we are going to learn what is a bucket list? To find out stay with me, Michelle
What really is a bucket list? Bucket list is a list of things that you want to do before
you die. Yes and do you know where does it come from? It comes from an English idiom
slang or a slang idiom, which is to kick the bucket. What is it to kick the bucket? To
kick the bucket means to die. If I say that he kicked the bucket, it means that he is
dead. Have you heard of that English movie, it was released in 2008, starring Morgan Freeman
and jack Nicholson, yes, the bucket list? In that movie do you remember there were such
strange topics like, kissing the most beautiful woman in the world and also helping an absolute
stranger, laughing, ha, ha, ha, ha trill you cry. Have you heard of that? Yes, these crazy
and adventurous things are what's called as a bucket list. Do you wanna know what is on
my bucket list? Then come and join me.
Let’s start, the first one, I want to go race car driving. Vroom, yes, fast, very fast,
race car driving. Have you heard of formula one race? Yes that's what it is. Formula one,
formula one race car driving. Yes but how can you talk about it? You can say that before
I kick the bucket, which means before I die, I want to go race car driving. Yes do you
wanna go on race car driving? I'm sure it's so thrilling, isn't it
Let’s look at the second one, to do an extreme sport. What do we mean by extreme? Something
which is just a bit too much. What is a bit too much? Any sport you know that is just
a bit too much? Yes, what about paragliding? And what about sky diving? And how about bungee
jumping? Yes, that’s an extreme sport. I’ll write it for you here. Paragliding
or sky diving. I must tell you I'm so excited about sky diving. You know what happens, you
jump from a plane and you literally dive into the sky and you're flying like a bird. That’s
what sky diving is and how can you talk about it? You can say that, at the top of my bucket
list, is to do an extreme sport. However for me it's on the second position. If it's on
the top of your bucket list, then you can say, at the top of my bucket list, is to do
an extreme sport that is skydiving.
Let’s look at the third one, before I die, I have to take a boat trip, through the Amazon.
What is Amazon? Amazon River. Yes, you heard of it? What about the big, huge Anaconda snakes
who can just swallow an entire human being? They are so scary, aren’t they? I wanna
meet them of course before I die because once I meet them, I’m sure I’m going to die.
So I'd say that, before I die, I have to take a boat trip through the Amazon River. Do you
also want to do that? Maybe.
Let’s look at the fourth one. I must see the Northern lights. What are the Northern
lights? And where are they found? Of course Northern lights as the word says, they are
found in North but where in the North? They are found In Northern Europe. Yes Northern
Europe. But the question is see lights everywhere, sun light, moon light, stars light, what’s
so special about these lights? You know they are colourful lights and they just light up
the sky into multiple colors and it becomes so beautiful. I really, really wanna see them.
And if you also wanna see them, then you can say, I must see the Northern lights before
I kick the bucket.
Let’s look at the fifth one, I’ve always wanted to go on a holiday to Maldives. Have
you heard of Maldives? Yes, that beautiful place with just absolutely lovely beaches.
And I love the sea so I would love to go to Maldives. What about you, where would you
like to go? Do you have any dream destination? For me it is Maldives. Here, I’m talking
about my dream destination, which is Maldives. I’ll write it for you here, dream destination.
You can say that I’ve always wanted to go on a holiday to Maldives, by saying always
wanted to means since ever.
Let’s look at the next one, what do I wanna do next? Yes, I really wanna learn a foreign
language. Are you also trying to learn a foreign language? Yes I know you are, that's the reason
you are watching my videos, you wanna learn English? The same way I also wanna learn a
foreign language but not English coz I can actually speak it. So there's another language
that I wanna learn and that is, Hebrew. Yes, why? Umm...because it really fascinates me.
I really wanna learn Hebrew and maybe even Spanish. Maybe some of you can teach me Spanish.
I’m sure some of you already know it. Maybe it's your first language. So for me, it's
Hebrew. A foreign language. A language that I have never spoken before or that is not
my native language, is called as a foreign language. Not a native language. And how can
we talk about it? I wanna try, I wanna try learning a foreign language. So why do we
say try? Because we are not sure whether or not we learn it because some languages are
really difficult to learn and what about wanna, what does this mean? It’s a slang, it means
I want to. So you can easily say, I wanna learn a foreign language, instead of saying
I want to learn a foreign language, means want to.
With this, we come to the next one, yes that is also on my bucket list, to get married,
maybe it's not on your bucket list. But for me it is. So I'd love to get married and if
you also would love to get married, then you can surely say this.
The next one here, it's my biggest dream, means my you know really serious desire, a
big dream that I have. So I can say, a serious desire and what is it? To travel all around
the world. Yes, it's so amazing isn't it? You’re exposed to new cultures, you're exposed
to new people. Even you broaden your mind and your thinking and you get to know different
people, different cultures. It's just so amazing. And I would love to travel all around the
world.
The next one, wouldn't it be great to what? To run a marathon. What is a marathon? Marathon
is a very, very difficult race. Yes you have to run at least 42.6 kms or 26.2 miles, that's
what a marathon is and trust me it's not an easy feat and you will have to work very hard,
if you wanna run a marathon. It’s not easy to win, forget about that, it's not even easy
to complete the race. But it's on my bucket list and wouldn’t it be great to run a triathlon?
So triathlon consists of 3 continuous races. So do we run the same race 3 times? No, it
consists of s, b and r. What is that? Swimming, biking and running. Yes, that’s what it
consists of. S,b, r, swimming, biking and running. And you know the most exciting part
about the triathlon is, there is no break. You run the 3 races in one go. It’s just
so crazy, isn’t it? I’m so sure, it's very hard, I’m very sure about that also.
But I still wanna try it at least. I may not win but I can always try.
Let’s look at what's on my list next? My ultimate wish, what do we mean by ultimate?
That means my final wish. Yes ultimate means final wish and what is my final wish? My final
wish is to go scuba diving. Have you heard of it? Scuba diving? Is it same as, umm...
sky diving? No, sky, scuba, scuba, sky, they are different. Sky diving is flying in the
sky and scuba diving is swimming under water. Yes, that’s the fun part. Do you know that
71% of the earth's surface is covered by water? And we are not privy to the life under it,
so sad, isn't it? I really wanna know what's under water and I wanna experience that life
through scuba diving or snorkeling. That’s another word for scuba diving but what really
is snorkeling? So snorkel is a device that you put on your face and that helps you breathe
under water. It has a tube which helps you breathe under water. That’s what it is.
So I really wanna go scuba diving. Do you?
The last one, final pursue my passion. What is pursue, pursue means to try to achieve
something or to chase something. To achieve something. What do you want to achieve? Do
you want to be a life coach or a traveler, may be an artist or a singer or an actor.
It could be just anything. But I want to be a mentor. What is a mentor? Mentor is a person
who helps other people achieve their dreams. Yes I know it's a very generous thing to pursue
but I really want to be a mentor. So do you wanna be a mentor? If yes, then I suggest
you start writing blogs because that's what I'm thinking of doing. If I write blogs I
can help people all over the world, through the useful blogs that I'll write. So mentor,
for me. And you can talk about it saying, I wish I could pursue my passion.
With this, you know exactly what's on my bucket list and I'm sure that you've learnt that
you are never too old to set another goal and never too old to dream a new dream. so
go ahead, dream a new dream, create a bucket list if you don't have one and if you already
have one, share it with me in the comments. I’m so excited to read what's on your bucket
list. I hope this lesson was fun for you coz it really was for me. Thank you so much for
