hi there I'm drew badger the world's
world's number one english fluency
fluency guide and it is a pleasure
pleasure to welcome to the series
series that just helps you learn to
to describe things in affluent way
way the way a native speaker with
with so we're going to cover a book
book today yay a book this was another
another requested video I'm happy
happy to be getting all these requests
requests for different videos so we'll
we'll be covering a book and how to
to talk about different sections of
of the book and explain certain things
things about a book so I think in
in this lesson maybe we'll do something
something a little bit different people
people already get the kind of more
more basic and intermediate way of
of describing something so i'm just
just going to spend more time on the
the advanced way of describing it
it if you liked this change let me
me know or if you think i should continue
continue to do the beginning intermediate
intermediate and more advanced way
way of talking about it so let's just
just do what we're going to cover
cover the parts of the book and then
then we'll cover some other things
things but we'll do it in an advanced
advanced way so first of all this
this is a book called magical worlds
worlds of The Wizard of ads now this
this is a really really interesting
interesting book the marketing of
of this is fantastic so its like the
the Wizard of as it's a guy named
named Roy Williams who's up kind of
of a hero of mine will just a really
really great person for learning about
about advertising and marketing and
and how people think so i think a
a lot of me spending my time learning
learning about business is really
really just learning about people
people and really learning how to
to help people more effectively so
so this book the the magical worlds
worlds of The Wizard of ads so this
this is a kind of a play on the wizard
wizard of oz idea the wizard of ads
ads like Wizard of advertising so
so he's really good at writing ads
ads and understanding people and figuring
figuring out how to you know sell
sell them whatever it is they're looking
looking for so
so you can also look at the pages
pages of this like the the pages themselves
themselves it's like kind of old old
old looking looking pages to like
like they're not perfectly lined up
up as they should be there kind of
of rough on the outside it's not like
like a regular book where you've got
got flat pages you can kind of see
see from the edge of the book here
here anyway well it's not particularly
particularly clean but hopefully you
you can see from right there that
that we've got some interesting the
the sides of the pages and it just
just means like the kind of length
length of each of these pages a little
little bit different so if i want
want to describe the book itself the
the pieces of the book worthy parts
parts of the book we've got the spine
spine of the book here so this is
is where the just like the spine in
in your back this is where all the
the pages are connected so this is
is the spine of the book and this
this is a we can call this a paperback
paperback or a softcover book because
because it doesn't have a hard like
like the regular kind of hard board
board cover on the outside of it but
but this book does have kind of it
it looks like a dust jacket now typically
typically you will have a hardcover
hardcover book it's got the book itself
itself and then the this kind of cover
cover on the outside of it to protect
protect the book that is called the
the dust jacket the dust jacket of
of the book so this is a it's not
not a hardcover book but it does have
have a dust jacket on it so it's got
got an interesting kind of look to
to it really looks like an old Wizards
Wizards book or some old book that
that maybe like an old person from
from ancient in or like Old England
England or something would have but
but it's really kind of great field
field now inside the book it's really
really a collection of interesting
interesting essays that are maybe
maybe a page or two but really quite
quite just interesting short things
things and there's some sections of
of actual writing on the inside so
so just actual little notes that the
the author has about particular things
things but if you like learning about
about people or advertising in general
general i highly recommend this book
book in this series of books called
called The Wizard of ads so I don't
don't get paid by this and this is
is not an affiliate thing I'm just
just recommending it because I think
think there really is a really great
great series of books anyway if i
i want to talk about the particular
particular sections of this now this
this is a regular book so it's not
not a Bible or a book of poetry this
this is just a regular book so if
if we want to talk about things in
in a basic way you would just describe
describe what the pages are so on
on page 85 for example we've got you
you know some writing about this so
so a friend of mine is borrowing this
this book for me I say hey there's
there's a great lesson about advertising
advertising to an old people or something
something on page 85 of the book so
so there's a great lesson about something
something in this particular page
page of it but i want to say maybe
maybe in a more native and advanced
advanced way I could say there's a
a great passage on something so there's
there's a great passage on advertising
advertising for older people or something
something on a particular page so
so you can talk about a kind of section
section of the work or you can talk
talk about a passage pa-a-a-a-ss AG
AG e a passage of the book or a passage
passage of the novel or a passage
passage of the story it just means
means a particular section of it could
could be maybe like a few sections
sections like a few paragraphs or
or it could be even one sentence or
or even just a few sentences together
together so this is a passage of the
the book so we can talk about the
the not only the like the chapters
chapters themselves so each one of
of these is numbered so it's as I
I think maybe 100 chapters or 50 chapters
chapters in this book i don't remember
remember exactly but you can talk
talk about the chapters that are numbered
numbered and when you break them down
down
down you've
you've got the individual sentences
sentences and then paragraphs and
and then you've got whole chapters
chapters like that so if you want
want to describe to someone hey
hey can you look for this chapter
chapter in this particular book now
now this is slightly different from
from something maybe like a Bible
Bible if you have that where a book
book of poetry that has things grouped
grouped in different ways and so it
it looks the same thing but we're
we're talking about maybe in the example
example of a poetry book we've got
got different verses or different
different lines so look at the poem
poem 36 line number two there's a
a cool or a line that says like the
the red bird flies home so I'm talking
talking about a line of poetry as
as opposed to a line from a book now
now you could say there's an interesting
interesting line like a line of text
text a sentence an interesting line
line on page 36 that describes a pigeon
pigeon fly so in this book there's
there's an interesting line on page
page 32 so at the top of the book
book or at the top of page 32 or at
at the bottom of page 32 or in the
the middle of page 32 there are lots
lots of different ways to describe
describe something like that a Bible
Bible might be talking about the verse
verse or the chapter of something
something so I like I don't have a
a Bible with me but if you want to
to describe like a particular chapter
chapter and verse or maybe a different
different
different thing
thing like I don't know if the the
the Quran or other holy books that
that have particular sections if they
they are marked in that way and you
you might want to just ask someone
someone about that but in general
general we're talking about a passage
passage from a particular thing in
in a passage can be used for anything
anything whether it's a holy book
book or a regular book or a magazine
magazine so great passage or a great
great section or a great part from
from a particular thing so I like
like the part in this book where he
he talks about such and such so I
I could be saying I like the part
part on chapter 13 I
I like the part in chapter 13 on page
page 10 where the author is talking
talking about this so
so again in this way we're just talking
talking about it in a negative way
way we're describing maybe the book
book itself where it came from the
the history of the book and the way
way we would talk about different
different sections of it if this has
has been interesting for you do let
let me know in the comments so if
if it's been helpful or if you'd like
like to learn more about even books
books are describing other things
things in particular ways do let me
me know because i like to make requested
requested videos a lot so people have
have more particular things they like
like to learn about or if there's
there's something I'd left out even
even about books again just get into
into something in general and you
you can learn how to describe something
something as you learn to do it you
you asked questions where you say
say oh I'm talking about like what
what is this call and maybe someone
someone might know but you can probably
probably figure it out like I it's
it's a dust jacket so this side the
the outside cover the book is called
called a dust jacket anyway i highly
highly recommend this series of books
books you can find them on amazon.com
amazon.com I believe or other places
places wherever you buy books but
but these are again just some great
great ways of describing books and
and like the pages of the books you
you can talk about leafing through
through a book where I'm looking for
for different pages i'm just quickly
quickly looking through the book to
to see what's in it on leafing through
through just like you've got leaves
leaves like the pages are leaves of
of the book and leafing through the
the book and anytime you want to describe
describe something and you don't know
know just ask somebody has somebody
somebody for help and hopefully you
you can learn more about doing that
that anyway that's the end of this
this lesson don't want to make it
it too long but do let me know if
if you prefer me to do kind of beginning
beginning intermediate in more advanced
advanced ways of describing something
something so you can compare them
them for if you like me to spend more
more time talking about advanced ways
ways of describing I
