hello hello hello everybody my name is steve ford welcome to your english lesson
today is our continuation of milestones those special memories do you remember those special
memories that many of us have and let's go to the lesson remember do you remember do you remember
if you saw my last video i'll post a link for that if you haven't
we talked about three first milestones we talked about getting your driver's license traveling
abroad for the first time and your first cell phone today we're going to be talking about
high school prom now this is something that is very north american to have a high school prom
and it's a celebration for the students who are going to be leaving high school so maybe
people at your high school had something similar so this is the first time when you're a young
adult when you get dressed up it could be with a tuxedo a prom dress
this is a great phrasal verb it means that you put on really nice clothes you get dressed up
and a lot of people here they will rent a limousine to go to the prom like what a lot of
my students said what they have seen in american movies it's true by the way there's a corsage for
the girls and guys and it's a big affair meaning it's it's a big deal it's really important the
next one one of my favorites hopefully one of your favorites in terms of milestones is your first
love yes your first love now there are different kinds of love when you're really young there's a
very innocent love which is puppy love it's a very innocent love you could also have a crush
on someone this starts to happen as we get a little older this is when you admire someone
from a distance to have a crush on someone and then there's when we go out with someone so to
go out with someone is an expression it means that you are dating someone so it's a little tricky it
depends on how you use it because you can go out to the store or you can go out with jane
or john to the movies or go out with them to dinner on a single occasion but you can also say
i'm going out with jane i'm going out with john or you ask are you going out with jane meaning
are you dating them and there are different kinds of dates there's double dating there's
blind date where you meet the person and you don't know exactly what they look like of course all
good things must come to an end with our first love and sometimes many times unless you got
married to your first love is that you will break up there is a breakup with that person and because
it's your first love a lot of people they take it really hard you're very innocent you're young
what's the best way to feel better after a breakup more time with friends another love chocolate
or work more leave your answers below this video the next milestone is when you move out
for the first time when you leave home for the first time you often have to load up your stuff
and take it to wherever you're going some people get homesick because they suddenly
have to cook for themselves or they're eating really cheap cafeteria food at the university or
maybe just living on your own and trying to get by because we know that when we're young and we've
just moved out that sometimes money is a little tight we don't have so much money and we try to
get by get buy is a great phrasal verb it means we try to survive with the little money that we have
the last one i want to talk about today for milestone moment is when you do something daring
what is daring daring is when you do something courageous that takes courage daring so some
people do it some people will do something a little risky because it gives them a high
it gives them a thrill it gives them this adrenaline a big level of excitement some
people will go bungee jumping some people will go skydiving zip lining zip lining for some that's
not such a big deal it depends on how much of a daredevil you are daredevil is a great expression
daredevil is a great term it means somebody who likes to do dangerous things are you a daredevil
let me know in your comments probably the biggest daredevil thing that i ever did was ziplining
okay everybody i'm gonna do a dialogue now to help you remember all this vocabulary
hey josh why are you all dressed up you don't know my brother's getting married tonight
seriously your baby brother but he just started going out with that girl what's her name again
jade yeah they'd been going out for two years broke up and then decided to get married
i never thought they were really a good match i mean my brother is shy and conservative
and jade she's a total freedom loving backpacker type she's also a complete daredevil well
i guess it's true what they say opposites attract yeah but he'll be supporting her
you mean she doesn't work no she hasn't figured out what she wants to do for a job
