 Hello everyone! Hello! How is everyone doing today? It's great to be here. I can't wait to hear from all of you. Let's take a look at the chat and see who is here today. So I'm waiting for the feed to come up on my phone. Here we go. So let's see. We have Dwee. Welcome Dwee. Thanks for coming to the lesson. Let me adjust my camera here. A little bit lower. And Alyssa. Alyssa, have you had any cheese today? Let me know if you've had any cheese today. Get a little bit up close and personal. Today's lesson is going to be a reading lesson. Michelle, I saw you. Michelle, nice to see you. How are you doing today? I had a pretty nice day today. I'm waiting to see if anyone's here in the chat. Can you guys respond to me in the chat? Let me know who's here and how you're doing. It was not as cold today as what it has been, so that was really nice. We are preparing to return to full days of school. So that is going to be really interesting. And February is a big month for my family, because we have a lot going on. We have three birthdays in my family. So that's pretty amazing in February. And then we also have, of course, Valentine's Day, which we're going to talk about today. And we're going to also talk about the readings for today. So let's just take a look. Pamela, I am doing well today. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. I see 11 people here. Thanks for joining. So my name is Sherry, and I am one of the teachers here at Learn English Live. Robin Shaw has graciously asked me to give lessons here on Learn English Live. So you will see me on Tuesday nights at 7 p.m. Central, which would be mornings for some of you. It is night for some of you in Europe, and it's very early morning for some of you who are visiting from the Middle East. So Pamela, I am doing well. I hope you are having a great day. Alright, so let's take a look at what we're going to do today. Hello, Gratuitous. Welcome. Thanks for hopping on. We're going to start off by reading an easier passage first, and then we are going to move towards what you see on the screen right now, which this is a blog that was written by myself. And as you can see, it was written in 2010, which is quite a few years ago. And so, Alyssa, you can answer questions because I will read aloud the passages. Okay, so I will read out the passages for you. Alright guys, let's go ahead and get started. We're going to start off by reading a Valentine's Day passage, and then we're going to answer some questions. Okay, so here we go. Valentine's Day is on February 14th in the United States. I would like to know from you students, is Valentine's Day celebrated in your country? And if it is, is Valentine's Day on February 14th? Let me know if Valentine's Day is celebrated on February 14th in your country. I want to hear all about Valentine's Day. And for those of you who are single, I understand Valentine's Day can be an interesting holiday. Jessica, thank you for being here. You are very welcome. I am glad to share my information with you. So let's see. I'm waiting to hear about Valentine's Day. If you celebrate Valentine's Day in your country, and if it's February 14th, Alyssa, yes, yes. What do you guys like to do on Valentine's Day? Do you have any special activities you enjoy doing? Now remember, this might be a PG lesson, meaning parental guidance. So maybe you don't tell me everything that happens on Valentine's Day, but if you have, if you like to go out to a special restaurant, it's banned in your country. Okay, do we? Interesting. And is it banned because of the pandemic? Do we or is it banned all the time? I think that Valentine's Day can be a good opportunity to remember, to tell our family members and our close friends how we feel about them, but in other situations Valentine's Day can make people feel very unhappy and lonely. Okay, so Michelle, you celebrate Valentine's Day in France as well. So we're gonna go ahead and get started with reading this passage about Valentine's Day. Students, I want you to read this with me. I hope you can see the print. I've tried to make it big enough for you. So Valentine's Day. Hey, Samira, nice to see you. Dewey says with, okay, Dewey with Valentine's. Valentine's is an apostrophe S. So I'll get my whiteboard out and we will write it out. We can show how we love with, we can show how we love our friends and relatives, our friends and relatives. We don't say we can show how we love for with for, we can show how we love our our friends and relatives. So let's just take a look. Treat yourself like a king or queen if you're single. Yes, Alyssa. And there are some of us who are married and Valentine's Day isn't really celebrated. And so that's a day when I do something kind for myself. I do self love and self care. I engage in self care. So I'm going to write for you. We have Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day is always referred to as the apostrophe S. Okay, Valentine's. So let's see if you guys can see this. Okay, I'm doing some old school whiteboard here for you. Michelle says a lot of men buy flowers for their wives. So yes, see here. Yes, so Valentine's has the apostrophe S. It's not referred to Valentine's Day. It's always Valentine's Day. So let's get started. Valentine's Day is a popular day to celebrate love and romance. To exchange cards and often to give flowers or chocolates. Adults and children alike enjoy the day because it means doing something a little out of the ordinary. Everyone likes to feel special when they receive a card or treat for Valentine's Day. But where did this special day come from? When did it first begin? Okay, we're going to break apart this first paragraph and talk a little bit about it. Okay, so Michelle mentioned that a lot of men buy their wives flowers. Gertrude says in the Dominican Republic, we celebrate Valentine's Day in the classical way, flowers, chocolate and a romantic dinner. So I'm going to try a jam board here and see if we can get this done. So let's talk about what things did we need to clear this out. What things did we learn about from that first passage guys? So in the first paragraph, this was the writer's opportunity to explain what the entire article is about. So we learned what I'm going to type what you guys are saying here. Hi, Layla, it's great to see you. Anna, it was nice to see you hop into. So share with me. What was this paragraph about? Layla, we are doing a reading lesson today and comprehension. So I am doing well. You'll have to hop in and listen for a moment until we do read the next passage. So Michelle, Dewey, Anna, Gertrude, Samira, Pamela, Jessica, share with me. What was the first paragraph about? Let's take a look. Hello, Devarajah. Devarajah. Devarajah. Devarajah. Hello, Diego, Ecuador is in the house. Great to see you, Diego. Okay, so what was our first paragraph about guys? The main idea. So Alyssa is saying yes, the main idea was what our first paragraph was. So what's the main idea, guys? What was the main idea of this first paragraph? And I'm playing around with this a little bit. Or introduction. So both of those work really well. So the main idea or the introduction. Whoa, that can get really big, can't it? Let's make that a bit smaller. The main idea or introduction. So perfect. What was the main idea? Let's start with that, guys. What was the main idea? Layla, this is a reading lesson. We are reading and then we're answering questions about what we're reading. The most important idea is yes. So the most important thing is the main idea. What was the main idea of that paragraph we just read? Valentine's Day is celebrated on February 14th. So yes, that is one of the things. So we're gonna type if I can. We're gonna type Valentine's Day. Oh my goodness. So I need to change my font. Let's see here. We're just gonna go to a Google Doc because I don't like what that was doing. We'll just create a Google Doc. Alright, so here we go. Tell me what other things you guys saw in the reading. What else did we have? Samira says Valentine's Day is really famous between lovers and they give each other gifts and it's not just for lovers, it can also be for intimate friends. Okay, so I'm gonna start typing right now. We have some things here. So we found out that Valentine's Day is February 14th and this is going to drive me crazy because it's going to capitalize. Okay, so it's February 14th. That was one of the main things that we found out. What else did we learn? Suleen. Yes, we're doing a reading lesson. So the basic info is about Valentine's Day is February 14th. I'm gonna go back. We're gonna look again. So Valentine's Day, it's a popular day. Just like Samira said, you celebrate love and romance. You can exchange cards and sometimes people will give flowers and chocolates to one another and everyone likes to feel special on Valentine's Day when they receive a treat or a card. So the final two sentences in this paragraph talk about what we're gonna find out next. It alludes to what's gonna happen next. Alludes. A-L-L-U-D-E-S. Where did this special day come from and when did it first begin? So that's what we're gonna learn next in our second paragraph. So let's go ahead and take a look at our second paragraph. The word Valentine is actually a name and the holiday is based on some old legends about a saint named Valentine's, Valentinas. Oh, I just had a puck or Valentine. So yes, you're right. You're right, Michelle. It is something that's happening soon, February 14th. Anna, you're going to answer some comprehension questions. We're reading together and you're going to answer some questions. Okay? So do we think that maybe this is originally from Rome? That would, based on Valentine's name, maybe so. One story, which might be true, we're not sure, is that Valentine was a priest who performed weddings for young soldiers, even though it was against the law at that time, at the time. The emperor thought his soldiers would fight better if they didn't have a wife or family to take care of. So Valentine or Valentinas, Valentinas, he would have the ceremonies and he would help soldiers have their weddings prior to having to go off and fight in a war. He got in trouble for it, but people were grateful for his courage. So that is one story that is popular for the origin of Valentine's Day. So let's go back and we're going to talk about this next paragraph. I want to know from you guys, how did Valentine's Day get its name? So our question is how did Valentine's Day get its name? So let me know. How did Valentine's Day get its name? I want to know specifically why do we call Valentine's Day Valentine? Why do we call it Valentine's Day? And after we answer this question, then we're going to move on to the next reading where we will work on idioms and look at some vocabulary words as well and grammar. So how did Valentine's Day get its name? Let's see here. Okay, so Michelle says I don't know its origin. We read in the paragraph about one possible place of origin and Dwi says takes name from a soldier's name Valentine. Anna says from a priest. Yes, yes. So guys I know this lesson is a bit different than what we're used to, but we're reading for information and Suleen says because of St. Valentine. So ding, ding, we have stars and Alyssa, if you're still there, I hope my reading is suitable. Okay, so that is correct. Valentine's Day Valentine's Day. So Valentine was a priest. We'll go back and look right now. One story which might be true. So we're looking at here. We're looking at the second paragraph guys. One story which might be true is that Valentine was a priest who performed weddings for young soldiers, even though it was against the law at the time. So let's see here. Samira says based on a story, a group of people perform weddings for soldiers while it was against the law. Yes. So Valentine is the name of a priest who helped people who were in love and wanted to become married. He would do the ceremony. He would marry people for them. He would officiate the ceremony. Officiate is a word that means to be the official at a ceremony. So let's take a look at that. Oh, that's okay. Priest, priest. So Valentine was a priest who officiated ceremonies so that soldiers could marry. And I'm going to go back and fix these so that soldiers could marry. Okay. So does everyone understand about Valentine? Valentine was a priest who officiated ceremonies so that soldiers could marry. Alright, before we move on to the next reading, let's talk a little bit more about Valentine's Day. So some of you are who came a little bit later. So Leila, Suleen, do, does your country celebrate Valentine's Day? And if so, what type of things do people do to celebrate the holiday? It is not an official holiday in the United States. It's not a federal holiday, but it is celebrated often in schools. The children will exchange Valentine's cards in the younger, younger ages, the lower grades. So preschool and kindergarten and and first grade, they will make a Valentine box to exchange Leila. We are listening to me reading the material, or you can read it yourself. And we are answering questions about what we have read. So we are working on reading and our listening, and then being able to make some sentences. Hey, Joe, it's great to see you. So Michelle. At the time, there were always wars that were happening in the Middle Ages. Someone was always fighting against one another. And so that is how the story goes. So Leila, let me know if you understand what I've explained with the lesson. So we are listening and working on our reading and answering questions. So Leila says it's not an official day, but young people do celebrate it. So Samira, so young couples will exchange gifts. Joe, do you celebrate Valentine's Day? And if so, what do you like to do for Valentine's Day? Michelle, do you get your lovely wife flowers for Valentine's Day? Here in the United States, most young children like to give each other cards. Sometimes they'll give small candies. I really like chocolate. So I like to receive chocolate on Valentine's Day. Again, I buy it for myself often. No, my husband will get me some chocolate sometimes. Okay, so let's go ahead and take a look at our next reading. Our next reading is going to be something that I have written. And we are going to learn about idioms. We are going to learn about some phrasal verbs and just kind of some advanced vocabulary. Okay, so Leila says exchange gifts between each other. Okay, and Suleen says you celebrate it in June on Saint Antony's Day. And it's just between couples. Okay, perfect. Suleen, can you let me know what country? What country are you from? So I may understand that. And Jojo, I'm waiting to hear from you what your thoughts are on Valentine's Day. Okay, let's go ahead and take a look at our next reading. I'm going to just show you. So this is what the blog page looks like. The print is too small. So I'm going to show you something a bit different. Dwee says we will get some chocolate and flowers on Valentine's Day. Great sentences. So thank you so much for participating students. Being active learners really does help. Michelle says, no, you rarely celebrate this. Oh, so Suleen, I did not realize you were Brazilian. Okay, perfect. Alright, so now we're going to take a look at, okay, so you buy, do you just buy one flower Jojo? Do you just buy one flower? Or do you buy lots of flowers? Yes, I can put things bigger. I actually have it bigger for you guys. So I will do that shaped like hearts, but lots and lots of candles or candies, candles that you burn or candy. Hi, Maya. Serenades, so people will sing to one another. That is fantastic. Okay, we'll make this bigger so that everyone can see. Okay, is that bigger, everyone? I think that should be better. Let's see here. I'll make it bigger for you. Alright, so this is an excerpt from my blog. An excerpt means I'm going to type here. It's an excerpt. An excerpt means that this is just a portion of my blog. So here is an example. So Anna does not celebrate. So you send flowers on Mother's Day. Perfect. More than one. Okay. Thanks for joining us, Mia. Okay, so let's take a look at the first sentence. So this is the very first blog entry, which was written, the very first blog entry. So this means when you pull up the blog, this is the first, first entry that you will see. Oh, thank you, Suleen. I have decided to begin our adoption blog on the first day of 2010. Oh, sorry, guys, my dogs are barking. They see a cat. Quiet. Cover your ears. I'm so sorry, guys. Okay, so no Jessica on Tuesdays. So what does it mean guys, if the adoption blog started on the first day of 2010? What date would that be? Write in the comments what date is what date did I write this on? What is the date that I wrote this adoption blog? I have decided to begin our adoption blog on the first day of 2010. And I'm gonna have a drink. And thank you to channel members Gertrudis. Thank you, Layla, Michelle and Anna. Thank you, Dewey. Thank you very much for all of your support of our channel. Channel members are a big part of why Robin is able to do what he does in providing this platform for students. So thank you so much. So we've got some answers coming in here. And yes, everyone. So the first day of 2010 would have been January 1, 2010. Samira, it was 2010. Yes. Okay, 2010. So let's go ahead and take a look at our next sentence. The first of January. Yes, Michelle. Yes, Layla, it is the first of January. Okay, so let's look at our next sentence. I woke up this morning feeling exuberant. Let's just stop there. I woke up this morning feeling exuberant. So I would like to know what does the word exuberant mean? Hello, Raha, we are doing a reading lesson where we are listening and answering questions about what we've read. So what does the word exuberant mean? What do you guys think? You don't don't have to look it up in the dictionary yet. I just want to know, can you give me a synonym for the word exuberant? So give me another word that means the same thing or similar. Or if you know the definition, please type it in the chat. What does it mean to feel exuberant? I woke up this morning feeling exuberant that we would find our boys this year. And that's okay, we we are learning together. So Layla says maybe maybe delighted would be a synonym. Excited. Gertrude says beautiful. Michelle excited. Thank you guys for being active learners and typing in the chat. That's perfect. So let's go ahead and go to our exuberant happy says Suleen. So we're going to go to our Oxford learners dictionary because that is a great resource. If you have not used it yet, go ahead and make sure that you bookmark it. So exuberant. Well, that's nice. The picture there. Full of energy, excitement and happiness. Full of energy, excitement and happiness exuberant. I was exuberant. I woke up this morning feeling exuberant that we would find our boys this year. So very excited, cheerful. I woke up this morning feeling exuberant that we would find our boys this year. If not, bring them home by the end of the year. So what does it mean to I would I woke up this morning feeling exuberant that we would find our boys this year. If not, bring them home by the end of the year. So on January 1, I woke up. I was feeling exuberant, excited, cheerful, that we would find our boys that we'd find them. And if not, bring them home by the end of the year. So on January 1, I had not met them yet. I had not. I didn't know anything about them. But I was hoping that by the end of the year, we would be able to bring them home. So what was I wanting to do? What do you guys think we were wanting to do here? What were we going to do? What was the plan for the year 2010? We wanted to do what? Yes, Anna, I understand that, but I don't want it to get into my picture. You know, I, I guess I could go a little bit. I just don't want it to run into my picture. So if not, bring them home by the end of the year. We wanted to by the end of 2010, we wanted to do what? What do you think we wanted to do? My camera still is not quite perfect. We were hoping to yes, good, let's try it this way. Maybe in presentation mode will be a little bit better. We were hoping to find the boys and meet the boys by the end of the year. Yes, perfect. Okay, so that's what my very first piece was. Yes. Okay, so let's take a look at our next slide. Oh my, it went to the fifth slide. Oh, it's going through each slide. Okay. So let's take a look at the next, the next piece here. Yes, Michelle, I was hoping to bring them back to my country by the end of the year. Okay, Maria, yes, that was a great excited would be a good way to describe exuberant. So let me know, is this print big enough for you guys? Let me know. I can go ahead and extend it again a little bit. Thank you for your patience. I haven't quite done a lesson like this before. So I am writing this blog with the intention of keeping our friends and family members updated on the current status of our adoption journey. I would like to begin by getting everyone up to speed. So Marcos know we would not be kidnapping them. We were hoping to adopt our boys to finish the adoption. Okay, so let's take a look at the first sentence. I am writing this blog with the intention of keeping our friends and family members updated on the current status of our adoption journey. So the purpose, what is the purpose of this blog? So guys, what is the purpose of this blog? What is the purpose of this blog? We're going to get yes, and we're going to talk about that too. We're going to talk about what up to speed means. What is the purpose of this blog? Mm hmm. Perfect. Yes. So I want to keep others, people, other people who are important to our lives. So our family and our friends. Let them know what's going on with the adoption. Yes, Layla, that is correct. So keep them updated. That means to make sure they know what's happening. I like for my students to update me on how they are doing at school. So Samira, update me on how your exams are going. Let me know. Update me. Keep me updated. So now let's take a look at this last sentence. So our last sentence is, let's go ahead and we'll take this out of here. And our last sentence is, I would like to begin by getting everyone up to speed. So what does that mean? I would like to begin by getting everyone up to speed. So Joe, the purpose is not to get to meet the boys before the adoption. The purpose of the blog is to let everyone else know what is happening with the process. So Michelle, you are correct in that this blog could be read by others who want to learn more about adoption. But that was not my initial intent. My initial intent was to share information with my family and friends. But you have a good point. That is also a secondary purpose of this blog. But I did not realize that it would be helpful for anyone else until after I had written it. So when I say I would like to begin by getting everyone up to speed. So let me give you another example. Okay, here's another example. Let's, we're just going to do a separate slide. So this will say, here's another way to use this phrase. And I will make this bigger for everyone. I just joined a new department at work. My colleagues got me up to speed on the current project. So we have let us know about their situation, get them know everything in time, make something. Okay, I didn't make this smaller. It's too big. Make something that makes your family know so fast what you've done. A brief explanation keep me updated. So when you say I'm going to get you up to speed, what it means is give you a brief explanation of what has already happened. Give you a brief explanation of what's already happened. When I started writing this blog, things had already happened. It was January 1. And prior to January 1, I'd already been thinking about adopting. And there were reasons that led us to adoption. And this blog shares why we decided to adopt. Why we decided so Anna, yes, a brief explanation. Layla, it talks about what had already happened prior to writing this blog. I'm getting everyone updated. Yes, Joe getting everyone updated on what has already happened. So let's go back to yes, in some ways, it's an introduction for sure. So let's take a look at our next reading. And I'm going to make this bigger for everyone. Here we go. Here we go. Yes, Michelle, I wrote it in a many ways. My blog was written at like a diary or a personal journal. So in October, I began to think about adoption. I have a friend who adopted her daughter from Kazakhstan a year ago, which made me realize it can happen. I spoke with Chad about the process of adoption. Now Chad is my husband. So I have one thing to say here, let's take a look at this sentence, because I have a sentence that in reading this today, I noticed I should have used a different word. So how do you guys think this phrase should have been written? How should this phrase have been written? Whoops, let me get to that. Going to underline it. How should this have been written guys, which made me realize it can happen. There needs to be a change here. I have a friend who adopted her daughter from Kazakhstan a year ago, which made me realize it can happen. What word should I use here? Instead of can, I don't think this is the best choice of words. What do you think I should use instead of can, which made me realize it can happen. I have a friend who adopted her daughter from Kazakhstan a year ago, which made me realize it can happen. So I'm talking about adoption. Adoption can happen. Since my friend had adopted a child from Kazakhstan. It made me realize Gertrudis. Yes, which made me realize it could happen. It made me realize it it could happen. So we would change this to could or Anna. Yes, which made me realize it was possible or it is possible. I have a friend who adopted her daughter from Kazakhstan a year ago, which made me realize it was possible or it is possible that the tenses are shifting there because I'm talking about I have a friend, but this is almost like a conditional, right? So you know the conditionals, the zero conditional tense, first conditional tense, second conditional tense. So to be able Rahas says, which made me realize I was able to adopt, which makes me sure that it could happen. Yes, all all good, good scenarios there. So let's go back in the comments here. Anna says it was she thought it was impossible to adopt internationally. But you proved me wrong. So the saying you proved me wrong, the Anna typed in the chat. That means that I learned something. I thought something was one way. But learning this new information, it's made me realize that my original thought was wrong. And now I'm thinking a different way. Adoption internationally can be done. It is very costly. It's expensive and difficult, but it can be done for sure. Okay, so let's take a look at our next slide. So this has to do with the next piece that happened for us. And he agreed it was something worth checking out. So Chad agreed that my husband agreed that adoption was something worth checking out. As we had not had much luck getting pregnant thus far. Hmm. He agreed it was something worth checking out. So checking out check out is a phrasal verb. Let's take a look at check out as a phrasal verb. So we have checking out checking out what does it mean to check out something? Let's check out. Let's check out the new restaurant in town. I'm going to check out my groceries. He's checking you out. Lots of different ways to use this phrasal verb. So what do you guys think it means? He agreed it was something worth checking out. Thank you again to all of you for attending this lesson. I know it's a bit different than the usual lessons. And you're relying a lot on your reading and on your listening. He agreed it was something worth checking out. Check out checking out. So do we says to make a list. So Michelle if we're going to go check out the new restaurant that is different than I'm going to go I'm going to eat at the new restaurant and check out check out can mean paying your bill. But in my sentence we're going to check out the new restaurant. That means we're going to go and try it. We're going to go see what it's like. Okay. So Layla says before leaving somewhere I try to make sure everything I check it. Joe. Yes. I try it out. Gertrude's revision of something to take note. In this sentence he agreed it was something worth checking out. What it means is my husband Chad said okay let's look into the possibility of adopting. Let's do some research. Let's learn more. Okay. Before leaving somewhere I try to make sure everything and I check it. So you just need to add and layla before leaving somewhere I try to make sure I have everything. I check it out. I said experience. Let me see experience. I he agreed it was something worth. Okay. So if you said experience you mean it was adoption was worth something experiencing. No checking out means to look into to learn more about to research the possibility of adopting. Yes. Gertrude's research. Okay. So tonight we learned about how to listen to be able to understand both the general idea as well as the details. And let's talk about checking out again. So I like this phrasal verb check out. So we're gonna we're gonna work on that on a slide. So so we have check out check out. So we have I check out at the grocery store. I check out the movie. I check out the new movie on Netflix. The guy was checking me out. So let's make all of these bigger. Okay. So here we go. Look into research. Check out. Yes. Gertrude's you broke it down. So here let's do a final review of the phrasal verb check out. Here are ways you can use it. I check out at the grocery store. This has to do with Michelle's response about the restaurant. I pay my bill at the grocery store. You put all of your groceries on the conveyor belts where the groceries move. The cashier is scanning the items to see how much they cost. They tell you your bill is $180 sherry or ma'am. And then I pay my bill. I check out at the grocery store. The next line is I check out the new movie on Netflix. In this instance, check out the phrasal verb is very similar to the phrasal verb. When I talked about my husband agreed to check out adoption. He agreed it was worth checking out. I investigate. I research. I try to learn more about the new movie on Netflix. I look to see what is the new movie about? I check out the new movie. And then finally, this last phrasal verb has to do more with slang. The guy was checking me out. This does not mean that I'm at a grocery store and he's seeing how much I cost. This means that the guy was checking me out. It means he was looking at me in a way that would indicate he found me attractive. He was looking me checking me out. Okay. So I saw that he was looking at me intently. He was checking me out. He found me interesting or found me physically attractive. Okay, guys, that was a tough lesson. But we got through it together. So reading information for comprehension. There's a difference between the Valentine's Day passage, right? And the blog, different types of writing. One is informational only the Valentine's Day was all about information. And the blog was more of a journal that a person wrote a personal narrative, if you will, different kinds of writing. And both of these writings, these different types of writing require different skills when you're reading. Okay, look for the general idea and then hone it down to the details. I hope you guys enjoyed the lesson. I will post some homework tomorrow for the lesson. And I'm not sure if we'll do more reading lessons in the future. But I wanted to give you the opportunity to check out a new kind of lesson. I just used the phrasal verb check out. So I would love to see you guys share with others about the phrasal verb, check out, use it in a sentence, practice it, be an active learner and apply what we learned in the lesson. Okay, guys, I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday for those of you that it's already Wednesday. For those of you who are on this side of the world with me, have a nice Tuesday evening. And I appreciate all of your efforts in this lesson. Thank you so much, everyone. Thank you, Marcos. Mia, you'll have to watch the playback. Thanks, Samira, Layla, Dwi, Gertrudes, Michelle, all of you, Pamela, if you're still here, Joe, thanks for checking it out. Raha, everyone, Anna, I hope all of you are safe. Do well. There is one person here that has writing that I'm sorry, I'm not sure I can't read so I don't know your name. But thanks for coming. I really appreciate it. Have a great one, guys. Be kind to one another. Goodbye.
