hi everybody welcome back to top words
my name is alicia and today we're going
to be talking about 10 breakup lines
these are lines that you can use when
you want to end a romantic relationship
let's go i need my space i need my space
i need my space so if you feel the other
person is maybe just
always with you always looking for time
or just bothering you whatever
doesn't matter you don't want to spend
time with that person anymore you can
say i need my space oh do you want to go
to the movies with me this weekend it
was so much fun to see you yesterday and
we can do something tomorrow and then we
can go to the movies together too don't
you think it'll be great actually i need
my space
i need to focus on my career i need to
focus on my career ooh so maybe you're
really really busy with work uh or
you're just looking for an excuse to
break up with the person to break up
with someone you can say i'm really
sorry but right now i need to focus on
my career i think we need a break i
think we need a break this is after
you've been seeing someone for some time
and you decide that maybe they're not
the right person for you
you can say i think we need a break be
careful though this phrase sounds like
there's a chance you may get back
together in the future if you don't feel
that there's a chance you will be
continuing to see this person maybe
choose a different line to break up with
them i think we're moving too fast this
is an expression you might use towards
the beginning of a relationship maybe
for example you meet someone and then
you start dating them and and then
a month later they're like let's move in
together and then three months later
it's like oh let's get married or
whatever
the pace of the relationship seems too
fast you can say i think we're moving
too fast so if you say this phrase maybe
it doesn't mean that you want to break
up but just this pace is too fast for me
let's slow down i'm just not ready for
this kind of relationship i'm just not
ready for this kind of relationship this
could have many different meanings maybe
the relationship is very serious and
you're not looking for a serious
relationship you can say i'm not ready
for this kind of relationship saying i'm
not ready sounds like it's me it's my
problem i'm not ready for this kind of
relationship it's not you it's me it's
not you it's me there's no problem with
you
rather i have a problem maybe they're
just struggling with some things that
they're not
they don't want to bring into a
relationship or maybe they're just
trying to be polite maybe it is you
maybe it is you but the other person is
trying to be kind so you can say it's
not you it's me let's just be friends
let's just be friends you've been in a
relationship with someone for a while
and
you decide
maybe it's better if we don't date each
other but i still like this person so
let's just be friends we need to talk oh
no we need to talk the dreaded we need
to talk if someone says we need to talk
in that tone we need to talk or if you
get like a text message that says we
need to talk it's never we need to talk
i want to get a puppy it's never a happy
thing if you see if you hear we need to
talk it's oh
no something is bad in my relationship
and i'm about to hear about it dun dun
dun
so you can follow we need to talk with
uh an actual issue that you need to
discuss about your relationship
or it can mean the end of the
relationship you want to talk about
ending the relationship we should start
seeing other people the next breakup
line is we should start seeing other
people ouch means i don't want to see
you anymore ah one point about this when
we are in a relationship with someone
there are a couple of different verbs
that we use we use the verb
seeing to see someone
and to date uh to go out with
uh those are a few so in this expression
we see we should start seeing other
people so it doesn't mean just like
like stand across the room oh i see
another person i see you hey like no it
means date it means be in a relationship
with we use the verb to see for that one
of the things that is said about this
phrase is that if someone uses the
phrase we should start seeing other
people there's a good chance that person
is already seeing someone else ouch ouch
you deserve better the next phrase is
you deserve better oh so if someone says
to you you deserve better i think we
should end the relationship you deserve
better it means that the person feels
they are not good enough they're not
enough for you uh and so they think you
should find someone
better than the person saying the phrase
again um this could be a sincere
expression or it could just be a very
polite and kind way to end a
relationship with someone

hi everybody and welcome back to top
words my name is alicia and today we're
going to be talking about 10 words you
can use to talk about music so let's go
concert
the first word for talking about music
is concert concert is a live show
concert is yeah the performance is
happening in front of your eyes so uh
concerts are really popular worldwide i
think depending on where you live you
might hear them called live shows but
usually in american english we just say
concert a concert so in a sentence i'm
going to a concert this weekend
to see in concert
the next expression is the verb we use
for a live show so the next expression
is to see
in a concert or to see in concert so we
use uh the artist's name along with this
phrase so for example i'm going to see
coldplay in concert
i'm going to see adele in concert
so you use i'm going to see artist name
in concert or um
in a concert what are you say in concert
or in a concert both are okay so in a
different sentence i'm going to see my
favorite band in concert meaning live
who do i want to sing in concert i want
to see michael jackson in concert
yeah i would have loved to see him in
concert he's my favorite
to listen to music to listen to artists
the next word or the next phrase is to
listen to plus music or to listen to an
artist so you can use uh this verb with
the type of music or with the specific
artist or band or group that you like so
i like to listen to rock music i like to
listen to
pop music whatever another sentence is i
like listening to beyonce
i like yeah so you can use to listen to
or listening to both are fine here i
like listening to
funk
it's fine i like listening to funky
artists is fine i like listening to
queens of the stone age is fine all of
these are great who do you listen to i
listen to lots of things
to write a song
to write music the next expression is to
write a song or to write music
so if you want to make music yourself
you can say write a song which just
means one song maybe three or four
minutes usually
in popular music or to write music in
general so
um you can use both of these expressions
song is more specific music is more
general so in a sentence my friends
started writing songs recently or in a
different sentence writing music is
really fun
track the next expression is track track
so we can use song yes but for example
when you look at a
an album
like on itunes or maybe like a cd for
example
each uh
each song is assigned a number that's
the track number so we can say uh i like
track number three or track three we use
track to talk about a song
so you can say this is a good song or
this is a good track both are okay to
use song and track are both fine um so
in a sentence i really like that track
from his album
beat
the next word is beat so the beat is
sort of the feeling of a song that uh
usually it's easy to hear because
there's like a bass drum or there's some
kind of heavy feeling it gives you the
sense of rhythm of a song so in a
sentence we would say like songs should
have a catchy beat or uh that that that
song has a really catchy beat or i like
the beat of that song
tempo
so tempo the next word is tempo tempo
means the pace of a song how fast or how
slow a song goes so
you can have songs with a fast tempo or
with a slow tempo or somewhere in
between so you can change the tempo of a
song and maybe change the feeling
in a sentence tracks with a slow tempo
are nice on quiet evenings
upbeat the next word is upbeat so this
word uses beat which we talked about
before but upbeat this is an adjective
that we use for something maybe it's a
faster tempo song
maybe it sounds kind of positive or
cheerful
a little bit happy so an upbeat track or
an upbeat song
sounds uh maybe it has a good positive
feeling about it or good positive vibe
something like that so in a sentence
this song is really upbeat upbeat we can
use upbeat for people too like my best
friend is really upbeat something
positive or happy down tempo
next we'll go to maybe the opposite of
upbeat the next word is down tempo tempo
means pace and down meaning like
decreased or slower so a down tempo song
has a slow tempo it's more relaxed yeah
maybe it's good for
just kind of hanging out or it's a
little bit slower maybe you hear
this at a restaurant or a cafe perhaps a
down tempo song so in a sentence i like
down tempo music
genre the next word is a great
pronunciation point for many students
it's genre genre so not john do or
genre i don't know but genre is the
correct pronunciation of this word genre
means the type of music you can use
genre to talk about movies as well books
to
but it means the type of something so
type of maybe art you could consider or
type of creativity so
genre into in music is for example rock
pop funk house soul disco heavy metal uh
classical country rap uh hip-hop
blues all these are genres of music so
they're types of music you can say what
type of music do you like or what genre
of music do you listen to so in a
sentence
i listen to lots of different genres of
music hi everybody and welcome back to
top words my name is alicia and today
we're going to talk about 10 words for
talking about sleep let's
go to wake up
the first word is to wake up to wake up
is to open your eyes probably in your
bed or the place where you are sleeping
to wake up is to
uh
to become conscious to become
awake every day you wake up
presumably hopefully in a sentence i
woke up three times last night
to get up to get out of bed
alright the next word is to get up or to
get out of bed so that means to
physically move your body from your bed
out of bed to stand up from your bed to
get out of your bed we say to get up or
to get out of bed in a sentence i got up
at eight o'clock this morning
to snooze
the next word is to snooze so we have to
snooze and alarm and also to snooze
so to snooze means to take a short sleep
to have a short sleeping time or to
snooze an alarm is
when your alarm goes off in the morning
you have a button most alarm clocks have
some button you can press so the alarm
will turn on again in like you know five
or ten minutes or something so to snooze
an alarm is to like to ask your alarm to
wake you up again a few minutes later
that's uh to snooze so we have to snooze
an alarm and two snooze meaning like a
short light sleep in a sentence i always
snooze my alarm at least once that is
usually true
to oversleep the next word is to over
sleep to oversleep means to sleep too
much or to sleep late
actually no it doesn't mean to sleep
late
to sleep late means just to sleep until
a late time in the day
oversleep means sleeping beyond
the time you wanted to get up so for
example if my alarm
is set for 8 o'clock but i wake up at
nine o'clock i overslept i slept beyond
my wake-up time so we can use oversleep
to talk about times when you sleep
too much you sleep
more than your body needs you to so
maybe your body needs depending on the
person like six to nine hours or so but
if you sleep like 14 hours we can say
that's over sleeping you're sleeping too
much
that's the nuance here in a sentence i
overslept on my first day of work
nap
the next word is nap nap is a short
sleep so a nap is maybe 30 minutes one
hour just a short sleep a short rest so
a lot of people will take a nap in the
afternoon for example or maybe children
actually take naps for example in
preschool or when they're very very
young they have an afternoon nap a short
sleep like
yeah just like an hour or so i imagine
in a sentence i love naps actually i do
like naps i don't like naps because when
i take a nap it becomes asleep it's
always like i wake up four hours later
and i'm like okay well i've destroyed my
sleep schedule
dream
the next word is dream dream so dreams
are those those visions those images you
see those maybe experiences it seems
like you have when you are asleep in a
sentence i always have weird dreams
nightmare
so the next word is nightmare nightmare
is a word which means bad dream or scary
dream negative dream so uh children
maybe have nightmares a lot they wake up
crying or they're really upset by
nightmares monsters uh terrifying things
happening and so on in a sentence do you
ever have nightmares
to go to bed
the next word is to go to bed so before
we talked about to get up or to get out
of bed this is the opposite to go to bed
means to get in your bed
to to try to go to sleep
to go to bed in a sentence i usually go
to bed fairly late
to hit the hay to hit the sack
the next expression is kind of a s i
don't know a slang expression uh we have
to hit the hay and to hit the sack these
both mean to go to bed um
they both mean to try to fall asleep but
we just use them in more casual
situations the image here of hit the hay
is with your body hitting hay like
laying down in hay
i believe historically because uh hay
was used to stuff um things that people
slept on
so that's why we have this expression to
hit the hay with your body same thing
for to hit the sack so a sack full of
something soft to sleep on uh is where
this expression comes from in a sentence
i think i'm gonna hit the hay
to fall asleep
the next expression it is to fall asleep
to fall asleep you're in bed and you
finally you lose consciousness you you
stop being aware you are asleep in that
moment we say you fall asleep in a
sentence it takes me a long time to fall
asleep
all right

your explanation with this phrase hi
everyone it's christine welcome back to
another episode of top words today we'll
be talking about 10 reasons to start
learning a language let's go
it's a beautiful language
every language has specific
characteristics and some people like the
way certain languages sound
some languages might sound better to you
than others
my family comes from a place where the
language is spoken
for many people their cultural heritage
is very important to them if your family
speaks another language you might not be
able to talk to some of your relatives
or fully understand your background so
many people try to learn the language of
the place they've descended from
i love the culture and the people who
speak the language
if you're really interested in a
specific country and its culture this
can be a great reason to learn a
language it's also shown that being
interested in a culture motivates
language learners to work harder and get
better results i just love learning
languages
some people learn because they have to
and some people just learn because they
find it interesting learning a language
takes time and effort and some people
love the challenge
the language is useful for my job
gaining new skills is important for many
professionals being able to speak
another language can potentially help
your business make more money and maybe
even get you a promotion
i live in a country that speaks the
language
living in a country and not being able
to speak the language can be hard
learning the language of the place you
live can help you make friends get a job
and have an easier life
i want to open my mind and become more
international
for many people feeling connected to
other cultures and broadening their
horizons is especially important
learning a new language can change how
you interact with the world
i want to understand my favorite songs
movies and tv shows
if you're really into a culture learning
that culture's language can help you
enjoy even more learning a new language
can add depth to your appreciation of a
culture
i love traveling
people who have been bitten by the
travel bug but traveling to a place
where you don't know the language can be
hard
for example if you can speak spanish
there are so many different countries
you can visit
it's part of my university studies
most universities require you to take
language class for a few semesters to
graduate but it doesn't have to feel
like work learning a language for
university can open great opportunities
in the future vamos hi everybody welcome
back to top words my name is alicia and
today we're going to be talking about 10
gamer speak words i am excited about
this one let's go first word is
achievement achievement is used when you
have completed a mission in some games
there's a very famous phrase that says
like achievement unlocked good feeling
beta
beta it's for something that's not quite
finished but that's maybe in like a
testing phase you could hear like the
beta release of something or like the
beta test version of blah blah blah for
example i am beta testing a running game
right now that is true next is boss if
you've ever played a video game probably
you know about a boss battle you've been
playing through a level at the end of
that level there's a boss that you have
to fight it's kind of interesting now
thinking about it how we use boss for
the main challenger that you have to
defeat in a video game level but we also
use it for like our managers at work
so um the next word is role playing game
role playing game is commonly
abbreviated commonly shortened to rpg
this is a very popular style of game a
role playing game meaning you play a
role role playing games have evolved
over years now you can play for example
mmorpgs
massively multiplayer online role
playing game i have been playing role
playing games since i was like 11 and my
brother convinced me to play final
fantasy vii the next word is checkpoint
you might also hear save points you save
your game and then you continue on in
the game and then if you die you go back
and you respawn you come back to life
from that checkpoint i feel like
checkpoint is used more in like a racing
game but save point is used more in an
rpg the next one is noob n-o-o-b i love
the word noob mostly to talk about
myself actually when i've made like a
really stupid decision noob means rookie
it means someone who is inexperienced at
something you can use noob in a game if
you find someone who's just joined the
game they're a brand new player they are
a noob they don't know anything
farming let's talk about farming in
gaming terms it means you are trying to
collect a certain item it has like kind
of a reputation for being a bit boring
because you're just killing like the
same creature over and over again npc
npc means non-playable character there
are other characters within the game
that move the story forward but that you
cannot play as you cannot become that
character but you interact with them i
have to talk to an npc in order to move
this quest forward next is camper a
camper is someone who is waiting
for
a
creature to spawn so a person who's
waiting for the monster to appear is
called the camper you can use camping as
a verb too to talk about that like i'm
camping this monster really people camp
other players i suppose so depending on
