hey friends you're with me naharika and
welcome back to a new lesson
well today we are going to talk about
the different stages of life
now we talk about different stages of
life in english there are certain
english terms that we use that relate to
our age
so which are these terms well let's have
a look
we're going to start with the very first
one which is a preemie so who is a
preemie
well preemie is an english term that we
use for a premature baby
so a baby who was born before he or she
is completely developed
in the woman's womb so
preemie is a perfect term that is used
for a premature baby like my sister was
a preemie okay so which means that she
was born in the eighth month of the
pregnancy so before she was fully
developed she was born so she was a
premature baby and this stage of life is
called preemie in english
moving on to the next term that we use
relating to age is newborn well newborns
are so cute and adorable
well newborn is an english term that we
use for babies
who are
just born that is from the first day
and you can use this
till the baby is four weeks old
okay so that's a newborn for you
well
my cousins are traveling with the
newborn so which means that my cousin
just delivered the baby
and she is traveling
with the newborn who is probably a week
old okay
moving on to the next one is
baby or infant
now you can either use the word baby or
you can use an infant
for
children who are below two years of age
aren't they so cute
so the children or the babies who can't
really walk or talk well yes they remove
different sounds which sound so cute
but they can't really talk clearly and
they're not able to walk properly like
they need to hold someone's hand and
then try to walk
so
the children who are below two years of
age well they belong to this age group
which is a baby or infant
moving on to the next one that i have
for you
is toddler
yes like my mom said that i was
extremely naughty as a toddler so
toddlers are children
between the age group of two years
to three years
so the children who have just started to
talk or have just started to walk well
they belong to this stage which is
toddlers
well it's quite a hectic thing for the
mothers
because toddlers are extremely naughty
so you have to be really careful with
toddlers
moving on to the next one is
child
now you can use this term in english for
little kids
there is no set age for it so you can
either use this term
for a newborn for a premature baby
for an infant for a toddler or even for
a teenager
so this is a very common term used for
someone who is below 18 years of age
okay so they are your adorable children
so the word term or the term child can
be used for kids
below 18.
okay there is no set age really
then we have preteen or there's another
term in english that you can use
is tween
so who belong to this
stage of life pre-teen or tweens
well you gotta be very careful because
your young kids are growing up and now
they are preteens or probably tweens so
which means they are either 10 years old
so they are between 10 years to 12 years
and they are
preteens or tweens so if you are
celebrating your boy's birthday who's
just gonna turn 10 this year
well congratulations he is entering the
pre-teen stage okay or he is a tween now
right so that's how you can use this in
english
moving on to the next stage of life
which is
teenager
yes
well you again have to be very careful
with teenagers because they
tend to become really stubborn they just
want to do what they want to do so they
are teenagers for you
well teenagers
are
kids or young
children
who are between the age of 13
to 18.
so they are teenagers right
then we have
adult well welcome to adulthood if you
are turning 18 this year
so yes the people
who
are above 18 and above well they are
an adult now so
18 and above
well if you are an adult yes you can
drive too
so that's an adult for you as i said now
that i'm an adult i miss being a child
so but if you are turning 18 then
welcome to adulthood
the next one that we have for you is
middle aged
okay
so
who belong to this age group
well middle age are people who are
between 40
to
50 years old
yes
so if you are maybe 45 or probably
turning 50 this year then you belong to
the middle-aged girl
yes people who belong to this group also
often go through midlife crisis so you
better be careful so that's middle aged
for you
the next one that i have for you is
senior citizen
now
generally people who are 55
to 70 years old
well they are senior citizens
now many
people tend to call them old oh
look at that old man that is so mean
that's just not polite
so if you have to use a polite phrase
then you would say he is a senior
citizen so just be careful give him a
seat when you are traveling in a train
and you realize that there's this senior
citizen standing besides you
please offer your seat to him okay
do not say that hey you're old so why
don't you take my seat that's not the
right way well you call them as senior
citizens because the word old is not
polite
okay so someone who is between the age
group of 55 to 70 well they are senior
citizens now this age differs country to
country but this is just a
generalization that i have given
and then the last term that i have for
you
is elderly
again the word elderly is used for very
old people
but
you cannot call them old that is rude so
like your grandparents
well probably they are 70 and above
take care of them because they are
sweethearts they are your grandparents
or probably even your parents
but they are not old a better term to
use in english is elderly well they are
elderly well i have to take care of my
elderly grandparents so which means they
belong to the age group of 70 and above
okay so this is the way you would use
these terms in english so the next time
you are talking about people relating to
their age you know what term to use in
english
so start using them confidently and i'll
be back with a new lesson soon till then
you take care
