 All right Hello, everyone. I am your teacher today Robin Shaw. Welcome to today's live stream I hope you can hear and see me. Well, we're wherever you are. I am here in South Korea Just getting set up here, and I see a lot of students have entered the chat. Let's take a look Layla's here. How's it going? Everything's fine. Jorah then. Hey Nice to see you here Am a ravins. Hello And You guys are talking talking talking talking Michelle. Hello Welcome Michelle sleepwalker Pallavi hello Pallavi Welcome everyone if you got an English question or a question about anything Start typing away. I hope to help you. I hit one question from a student From Shaw English. Let's see. What was that question? It's about pronunciation getting more and more complicated No, it's not the question All right. All right this student asked I Cannot cannot as one word I cannot Pronunciation okay English well what I need to do. Let's fix up the question for first My I would say my Pronunciation is Not good what Do I need to do? All right, that was a question from the student from I think Vietnam Or Myanmar somewhere. I'm not sure My pronunciation is not good. What do I need to do? Well? fixing pronunciation There's many ways to fix your pronunciation But the you know the best way is always to copy a native speaker, so if you're learning British or American English or Australian or New Zealand wherever you're studying or you're planning to go or whatever English you want to learn it's best to listen listen to how they speak and copy as As much as you can mimic shadow, whatever you want to call it copy them to fix your pronunciation It's difficult to for fix pronunciation The older you get the more difficult it is to fix pronunciation But I think You know my view is pronunciation for most students is not a big problem as long as people understand you You don't need an American accent or Or British accent But it takes a lot of hard work to fix Pronunciation. All right, let's see anyone else have questions You look different you have a slight beard today. Yeah near Mala Jennifer. Hello. How Liam are the all Oliveira hello Mmm checking through here guys are talking about Weather the weather I think sleepwalker has a question here Robin. Do you already feel Christmas mood put up a tree these let me fix up So you can see we're gonna say the Christmas you already feel the Christmas moon and Did you put up a tree or have you put up a tree? No No, no In South Korea, they don't really care about Christmas In South Korea, you know fam, you know, sorry, I'll begin with North America North America Christmas is a family event so every Christmas when I was young I would meet my My grandparents my cousins we would all meet at my grandparents house. It was a family event But in South Korea, it's not a family event So it is in South Korea. It's actually a dating day where couples go out to date You don't get anything for your family. They don't use Christmas trees There's you know, the shopping malls will have some decorations, but there's really not much of a Christmas mood in South Korea That's fine. I'm okay, and I don't put up a Christmas tree. I don't really care About Christmas too much in South Korea So no, no, no Layla has a question here Which door open could you please make my sentence in I I'm not gonna do active passive Layla You don't need to worry. I would say Layla. You don't need to worry about active passive you know because a lot of students give me active passive and And There's some there's some sense that you know, I hate teaching active passive because It's a important thing to know But there's a lot of grammar that we we not gonna use in the passive voice and students What is this in the passive voice? It's like, I don't know. We never use it in the passive voice So Layla, sorry, that's one topic. I'm gonna stay away from today At least is active passive and I would say you don't need to worry about it too much Layla if anyone wants to buy you a coffee during your live stream Yeah, if you know this this The English is free with the lights and everything the equipment is not free I do spend money to teach you And thanks for the supporters if you're a supporter of the channel.

Thanks for yeah Pallavi Esther and I talked about you Pallavi yeah, we talked about you because Esther says you're always watching her videos and We know about you Pallavi Hola Serba. Hello Serbi sorry Hola Serba Serbi Interesting name. I gave it to her because she wanted wanted it Are there two ways to pronounce wanted by native speakers? There's many ways to pronounce this you gotta remember English is an international language. It's in many countries with many dialects So yeah, there's many ways To pronounce wanted Now when you just look at the word wanted, of course, it's gonna be Right here is gonna have that ID sound wanted Wanted but of course You know if I just see the word here, I'm gonna say wanted but when it's in the sentence I Gave it to her because she wanted wanted wanted That's that's how I'm gonna say want it want it Wanted that T is very reduced wanted So depending where you are I'm gonna say that that T is very reduced Some people might say wanted but I say wanted Wanted without that T. So yeah, so the question your answer is there's more that I would say there's Multiple ways to pronounce every English word Well, most English words Excuse me Layla unfortunately, I don't have a credit card yet, but you are a man. You are a loyal member Layla Michelle and Jonathan thank you and we here you guys are here tonight. Thank you very much for your support I always appreciate it, but I never say thanks enough Robin is the word series plural and singular, right? Can we use a both? I think we did a video on this long ago So yeah, I think I think this is how we use it. Did you watch the series talking about one? I watched two series these days Yeah, so That's how we're gonna use it just reading the comments Zakira, Sultana. Hello Basketech, Marianne Burke Was a Basketech Layla has a question here If I say the train will arrive in 30 minutes could it be the train might arrive after 25 minutes or 20 minutes The train will arrive in 30 minutes, I think this is focusing more at the 30 minutes Because if it wasn't 30 minutes, we would say about 30 minutes So there the train will arrive in about about 30 minutes that that might mean 35 35 minutes But when you say in 30 minutes Very close to 30 minutes Also, I feel there's a difference between the train will arrive in 30 minutes and the train will arrive after 30 minutes So what do you think? I Think that's the same thing if anybody Know I think this is the same thing these two sentences Train will arrive after 30 minutes. So what do you think? The train will arrive in 30 minutes the train will arrive after 30 minutes. I think that's the same thing Let me just do a quick check It's the same to me 30 minutes that train. I can't find any information about that I don't know the technical rule. There might be some rules somewhere, but to me That's saying the same thing now Google wants to change it to in so The train will arrive in 30 minutes seems to be the grammatically correct sentence, but of course people do say in speaking train the train will arrive after 30 minutes people will say that but Google is telling me the grammar is in Can we use the word serial? You series serial interchangeably heck good word sleepwalker Do these mean the same thing? Well? I know what serial means, but when we're speaking we don't usually say serial too much I'm just gonna check that Just checking Got some difficult questions. I Don't know all the answers So while the quick answers no, I would say no They're very similar, but we don't usually use serial for TV shows. We use series for TV shows Unless they use serial in British or Australian English. I don't know could be used more over there, but in American English We use series the internet says Not the same Internet says many things There's no quick answer. It's just a very similar usually for TV we use TV series and A serial it might be for something that's in writing Like in a magazine if you if you have a magazine each week They have you know, they have one big story, but each week they show a little bit of the story in the magazine That's what we used to call serial, but not many people are reading magazines anymore We're all watching TV series on Netflix, but yeah Similar that it's continuation. It's a continuation of the same story But when in speaking, I don't know about British English for TV shows. We use TV series Serial is more for a writing term. That's the best I can give you sleepwalker If after you do just three or four drawings and it's not making sense to you That's okay Has this sentence used make sense property? Because I know it's meaning, but I don't know how to use it correctly. Well, let's take a look if after if If after you do just three or four drawings and it's not making sense to you That's okay. It makes sense to me if after you do just three or four drawings and it's not making sense to you This is the confusing part because drawings What do you mean by making sense That it making sense means there's some confusion So how does drawing cause confusion? I'm not sure I'm not sure this part So can you fix that part in 30 minutes sounds natural? Yeah in 30 minutes, but after 30 minutes people say it And near Mala, I guess we can expect the train to arrive before 30 minutes Yeah, it will happen before 30 minutes could be 20 minutes could be 15 minutes. So that's not exact What's the difference between in 30 minutes and after Well, we could say the train will arrive within 30 minutes Now if you're using within 30 minutes, that means now until 30 minutes later Okay, that the period from now and we have a 30 minute window where it could arrive if we're using within But don't confuse within and in Farida, I very hello Yeah, Leila to me. There's no difference. That doesn't mean there might be You know, I'm just when I when I talk about Every answer you guys ask the question every answer, you know First I have to go by my feeling and if I'm not sure I'll do a quick Google check But yeah, I don't know every technical rule of English I have a lot of experience teaching English, but sometimes I just don't know the technical rules I just have to go what I I hear from other native speakers. All right, any other questions? What's the temperature here? minus 2 Minus 2 degrees C right now In my neighborhood Oh, just went to minus 3 getting colder, but no snow a little bit windy Not windy windy That's the weather in my neighborhood Alyssa's here, but before you get I get to Alyssa Leila's in the queue Your teacher your teaching makes sense for me those examples you wrote are still not making sense to your students His decisions are always his decisions always don't make sense. What do you think about my sentences? Yeah, these Your teaching makes sense To me We would it make sense to me those examples you wrote are still not making sense to your to your students His decisions always don't make sense. Yeah now now the if you're just using make sense These sentences make sense Alyssa hi Robin is this correct Alyssa says I put it up on the white board the digital whiteboard here. I'm just typing it I find his jokes to be funny. Yes, this makes sense. Okay, so this is a little bit of advanced Speaking I find Sometimes when we're speaking English, we use this expression. I find him or I find her followed by to be So let's let's make these different colors. Sorry, Alyssa. I find him is blue and To be I'm putting a red just to break up that sentence. I find him or her To be and then adjective So In this case the subject is his jokes. I Find his jokes. That's our subject to be funny. I find him to be nice. Let's use a different subject. I find her hair to be oily Something like that which and It's just your opinion about something. So you're all expressing your opinion on something So this is a little bit advanced way to express your opinion About Something or someone Palavi sir Can you explain the zero first second third conditional of grammar and Sorry, Palavi the answer is no There's no for two reasons first reason. I already taught that The in videos on this channel if you go back into the library Somewhere I taught Zero conditional first conditional third second third conditionals of grammar and the second reason Palavi you you have to be I Have to answer a question in About one or two minutes maximum maximum and this kind of question. I cannot answer in two minutes This is you're asking me to teach the entire English Language basically in two minutes. So sorry Palavi. I already taught those you can find those and Palavi you got to get a little a little more simpler questions because I cannot teach those can dish I would need to prepare example sentences and Sorry Palavi Hello, mr. Rummy you are disappear. What's that group? Yeah, sorry Assad You know September to December is My busy season So I'm not really active in WhatsApp So I will probably be more active in WhatsApp in January It's really hard here I'm gonna go to if the list is still watching I just put up My video schedule For YouTube so These are all the videos I upload to YouTube on the show English channel and these are the upcoming videos So almost finished. I have about one. No today was the one two three four five six Seven eight nine. I have about ten more videos to upload on show English and then I'm done I'm done uploading videos for show English Maybe until March or April and You can see on December 19th. I'll do a live stream on the show English So I'm still uploading. I am almost finished and then I'll be done uploading and then I'll be back to I'll be back to WhatsApp more Parida asking can you tell us what's the difference between? What's the difference between could you pass me that book? Where's your question mark? And may you pass me that book? Well, you're trying to be polite and We don't we don't use may right away. We don't use may you So if if you wanted the book you would ask this sentence here Could you pass me the book? You would not ask may you pass me that book? This is wrong I'll talk about it in a moment. So to answer quickly your question This they're very different. This one is the correct way to ask someone to pass your book now When using could you or may you may you we don't use now. I'm gonna change it to can I or could I could I Go to the toilet or the washroom May I now if we're gonna use may you got to say may I not may you may I May I go to the washroom All right now and now they're similar now. They're getting similar both polite expressions Could I go to the washroom may I go to the washroom? Both are polite, but Technically may I is correct in this case. All right This is the I forget the two may I go to the washroom Could I go to the washroom? Yeah, a lot of native speakers are gonna say that could I go to the washroom but That's more is it possible and May I is asking for permission So both of these are used in the English language. Could I go to the washroom may I go to the washroom? Technically may I is the correct one to use but if you said could I go to the washroom? Nobody's gonna care. Nobody will care about that But in your question could you and may you we don't use may you we don't use may you Ask off early. Let's see what you got I want to get a feel for his mental condition. What's the meaning of get a feel for good question Get a feel for Get a feel for Get a feel for means I want I just want to feel I want to sense What's happening? So I Walk around Paris at night Just to get a Feel of the city All right, this is not exactly the same expression, but we have this word feel just You know, I want to walk around Paris at night just to get a feel of the city So I want to have a good experience to understand the city by Testing walking this way walking that way and I get all this walking around the city at night And I have this better knowledge and sense about Paris The noise the sights, you know everything So when we have get a feel for his mental condition, I Want to call my boss just to get a before I go to work I'm gonna call my boss to get a feel for his mental condition So get a feel for it. I want to know if he's good mental Condition bad mental condition if he's crazy if he's okay, so I want to get a feel for I want to know I want to experience By talking to him I get the sense If he's in a good mental condition All right, that's all I have to say as Kai. I hope you got it. Have you ever taught old people who were older than you and Did you treat and he did you treat them this is and Yeah, I I ten how I Think that's supposed to be a how did you treat them? Yeah, my I teach older people over 60. Yeah, I teach them English They they want to learn English I teach them English so I probably the oldest student I ever taught was 72 I Don't teach them the same way as I teach young students, but certainly I do my best to teach them. Oh How did you treat them? Alyssa is it okay to exclude the beat I find his jokes Funny yeah, you can do that, but it sounds a little more natural I find his jokes to be funny. I phone. I find his jokes funny both are okay. Both are okay. Sorry Palavi Yeah, I usually pick on Okay Robin said don't ask me dictionary words You can know them yourself. Otherwise. I'll pick on you next time. Did I use pick on correctly? Yeah, that's correct That's true. If you if you ask me, hey Robin, what does this word mean? I will say I'm not a dictionary go to the dictionary or I will go to the dictionary in front of you to show you how easy it is to check You know when you're learning English, it's don't just depend on the teacher to hold your hand all the time and Make it easy for you. I'm here not not really to You know, I can't really teach With learning English live here. I can't really teach too much But I think this is a better tool for checking your homework So, you know, I can't I can't you know like Palavi. I can't teach Conditionals take too long But if you had some sentences and you practice conditionals on your own time and you brought them to this video And you said hey Robin check my sentences. Do they make sense? That would be a better use of my time Or what does this word mean? No, no. Hey Robin. I tried using this word in a sentence Like Layla did here. She wants she didn't ask me. What does pick on mean? She made a sentence and then asked me did I use it correctly? So this is the perfect way to use me and Layla knows very well that I love this style because she She made her sentence and asked me to check All right in the sentence You should eat vegetables even if you don't like them. Okay, that's our sentence. So let's Let's do this so we know it's our sentence and then you have your question Could we change it even if to although Yep So you should eat vegetables even if you don't like them Well, you can change it, but the meaning will change a little bit Let's let's make it Although let's change the color This is not changing well change it Let's change it down here to the same color blue All right, so are these sentences exactly the same? No They're not exactly the same They're very similar Be you should eat your vegetables. That's the same You should eat your vegetables now. This one says even if So the even if means I Don't know if you like them or you don't like them I don't know really but if you even if you don't like them You should eat your vegetables so the even if means I don't know if you like them or not But even if you don't like them, you should eat your vegetables now this one you should eat you eat Vegetables although you don't like them This case I know you don't like them All right, so in this case, I don't know if you like them. So I said if But this case I know you don't like them. So I said although So, yeah, that would be the little difference I Hope you got it. Do we you know Lisa? What do you got here? Let's putting it up on the digital whiteboard is the word Borderline is the same as completely and down right down right his jokes are borderline Yeah, his jokes are borderline Ridiculous I would my initial reaction is yes, that's the same But I'm gonna check that because you're asking about a word. I've probably never checked in the dictionary before So borderline can mean I'm writing the definition up here borderline can mean Not Clearly acceptable so not clearly acceptable check the other dude. She's a list. So I need make my job difficult Borderline. All right dictionary didn't really help me. So I'll just explain in house. I know I So borderline Not clearly acceptable but very close to if we say borderline ridiculous It's very close to being really really ridiculous. It's right at the border Borderline, but people usually mean it me use it as an emphasis word to mean Yeah, too close to ridiculous Is it the same as completely or downright? Not exactly the same but very very close If someone said to me the borderline, I would just consider that as emphasis on ridiculous You know Here I'll put this I'll put it like this. I'm gonna write he is borderline crazy He is completely Crazy I write the rope these here. He is borderline crazy He's completely crazy these would be different borderline very close to being crazy But completely is yeah 100 110 percent Completely crazy. So in this case, they're a little bit different Hey says I usually write a like this a I need your help by doing my homework Be half a million. This is wrong. I already know You can do it by yourself. I'm picking on you. Could you check these things? I need your help. I need your help Doing my homework Be half on me. This is wrong. Nope, and it's a question mark. I'm not sure Nope, this is definitely wrong. I need your help I'm not sure what you're trying to say there. You can do it by yourself We would We would just say I need you to do my homework For me. That's how we do express that Top sentence. I need you to do my homework for me and Be would say you can do it by yourself I'm picking on you now. No picking on you doesn't belong here This is not picking picking is teasing You can do it by yourself is not teasing That is telling that is not a joke. That is telling someone you can do it by yourself. So Both a and b wrong. I'll take that out. I Need you do my homework for me. You can do it by yourself. That's What we would say Gwee. I'm here. Hello Layla Could be you are left with me the same meaning you stay with me. You are left with me you are No, you are left with me You stay with me stay. It means a longer term Left with me is just you and me together Right now doesn't mean we're gonna stay together just right now you are left with me you remain with me You stay with me is okay one day one hour. We're gonna stay together Alyssa lots of questions when it comes to grammar in terms of grammar and grammar wise are these Sinner what is that word? That's not I can't even pronounce it. I think I gotta watch your live stream. Alyssa teaching English See, I don't know if that's a word or if your spelling is wrong. It says sin synonym less I Think you just wanted to say synonyms. Okay. I thought you were teaching me a new word I had to decide if you spelt it wrong or if you knew a new word and I decided you you because you're so smart that you're You knew a new word, but I was wrong. You just spelt it wrong All right when it comes to grammar in terms of grammar and grammar wise are these synonyms. Yes When it comes to grammar, I Am perfect in terms of grammar. I am perfect And grammar wise good expression there I am perfect That's not true. What's the opposite of perfect imperfect Imperfect, I'm changing the eroded. I'm changing them all to imperfect. Okay, when it comes to grammar I am imperfect in terms of grammar. I am imperfect Grammar wise I am imperfect all of these would mean the same thing same thing Hi, and happy to catch the live stream. Good wits. Good evening, sir Hello, and in wits Despite the fact and although, huh, I think it's this my reaction is it's the same Yeah, that would be the same Despite the fact just seems like essay talking nobody's nobody's really gonna say that that looks like something you're gonna see in an essay and Yeah, that would mean although So yeah, I would say that's the same Layla Can't watch the video because the time I have is limited or time is limited Well, if you're talking about you yourself The time I have is limited You're just it's the same expression time that the term the expression is time is limited, but you are Making it into a sentence here. The time I have is Limited so you're making your personalize it. It's it's like this sentence. No, no time Well, no time is an expression, but of course when we use it in a sentence I You know you got to put your I have no time. Okay, so the time I have is limited. That's correct and sleep walker. I Was stick to the rules Despite the fact that I do not like them. I'll stick to the rules. Although I do not like them again. Yeah, same thing That despite the fact you can say that you know people do say that but I think that's more of a essay Terminology, I'm gonna say 99% of the time people are just gonna say although What rules are you talking about sleep walker? What's the type of platforms? Do you get more English questions on? Oh, that was just on Shaw English Shaw English online I Put the link to the video and someone on under the video put a question mob info. Let's take a look Please explain use of ah on because on right start of our letter word like Apple and Apple But other cases and apply this NS Yo expert, please guy why and yeah, that's easy. So You have to know that what's mob info you have to know the difference between vowel Here a vowel as a noun and the five main vowels a e I You and then we have to know vowel sound vowel sounds, okay, so There there's five main vowels, but there's not five vowel sounds. There's I don't know actually I don't know how many vowel sounds there are there's probably over 10 at least vowel sounds so Usually we teach children our car Like that capital a car and then an apple Now when you learn this you probably learn this as a child And we teach children this way to make it simple. We say if there's an a And the next letter is a consonant not a vowel We just use a and again when you're teaching children. We say if there's a vowel here we use and So we teach children to look for vowels because they're children and they don't understand all the rules But that's not actually the rule the rule is Use and Before a vowel sound This is the rule not before a vowel Before a vowel sound So when you have what was your word? an SEO So we have to look at this word SEO. So What is the sound of the first letter? s a ass So if I was writing that out s See oh That's not how we write the word but just for example here an SEO and ass More like an ass. Oh Sorry, s e o An ass e o E o s e o So we can see we can see the vowel sounds now it starts with a vowel sound it actually starts with it. Ah ah So another word an easier word is An hour So we say I Will see you in an hour. So this is an H that is not a vowel, but of course In English in this word the H is silent We don't say the H. So this word an Hour it starts with the vowel sound an hour see you in an hour So use and before a vowel sound And the opposite way University student now we see a value a vowel there, but it starts with a you sound More of a Y sound So it starts with a Y sound a constant and some you a university student, okay? Okay, I hope you got it. I've taught that many times. I enjoy teaching that This is already professional in English. She's not professional. She's fluent Synonymous okay synonymous got it. Hey, it is your favorite student. Yay. Layla is my loyal Very loyal student. I think Palavi. You're also very loyal You can't you pick on pick on means tease or bother someone Serba Serbi, let's put you wrote here. I'm not sure what you're trying to say Teacher Robin handsome if call my brothers and sisters formal or not Not sure your question When you shouldn't Is this the example sentence teacher Robin is handsome That if you're if you're calling someone a handsome, that's informal You shouldn't you shouldn't really call people beautiful handsome unless You're very friendly if there are strangers And teachers You know you can be formal. I'm not so formal, but teachers. You should be formal Who's this dwee? Could you explain to me? What different from those are sentences? What's the difference here? Okay? He is so nice that everybody likes him and another sentence He is such a nice boy that everybody likes him just two ways to say the same thing, you know in Sentence in English. There's so many sentences we could use to describe The same thing So it's just two different ways to say the same thing Mean they mean the same thing just the grammar is different or the words the words you chose are different He is so nice that everyone likes him. He is such a nice boy that everyone likes him I could even he is very nice So everybody likes him just choosing different grammar ways Oops, I forgot he's he's very nice. So everybody likes him. Okay Same thing. They all mean the same thing. He is this correct. This is from Alyssa. Oh Big words here the eligibility Qualifications of a bachelor include wealth status and good looks No Well grammatically, it's right, but the meaning of the sentence. So what is a bachelor? Unless it's a joke Bachelor is Unmarried man and I don't think we would put eligibility and qualifications together So I'm going to cut out eligibility the qualifications of a Bachelor include wealth status and good looks Yeah, you don't want to put eligibility and qualifications together and See what you're trying to say here Might we do have an expression Just checking Google We have we have the expression certified bachelor Certified bachelor is someone usually over 35 that did a man who did not married So we kind of jokingly say certified bachelor. It's it's official. They are unmarried if they're 35 and over For women, we don't use this expression only men. So a Certified bachelor If that's what you're trying to say is a joke But there are no qualifications of a bachelor other than being unmarried So you don't need wealth status and good looks. Oh sleepwalker. It's a bot Robin. Do you know what these bots? That's a bot Vask tech. That's a bot. I Don't think I've seen the bots in my live stream before. Oh, yeah, it's a bot. I'll ban the Thanks for notifying me sleepwalker. Okay mob info Balavi here. Let's take a look Sorry, what is formal or an informal? Well Layla should listen to Layla has a lot of stress about this. So formal is How can we explain very high-level English or polite? it can be business English and Proper grammar So this is formal English. So when do we use formal English? You know when you write an essay and you're getting a grade Or IELTS or TOEFL all these English tests, you know where we have to we have to show That we speak English We're usually going to use in a formal style, right? We're not going to use slang. We're not going to use idioms We can use some idioms, but we're trying to write a really good English paper now. It's also for speaking when would you use formal speaking when you're meeting someone new? For the first time you might be more formal At a job interview, you're going to be very formal, right at a job interview. You're going to be polite It's going to be business-style. You're probably wearing some something nice for the job interview And you're you're going to try to speak the best English you can informal which is often caused called casual is How we Normally talk to our friends. All right, so we use slang we use bad words You know when you talk to your friends, you don't care about the grammar. You don't care what you say. You just speak You know, it's gonna have miss grammatical mistakes It's gonna be mixed in with all kinds of slang and bad words. So that's casual now Of course informal or casual is most of English speaking So when you're studying English as a child, you're learning usually formal So when you're studying English in the classroom, your teacher is probably teaching you formal English But when you watch a Hollywood movie It's casual. It's informal Right, they're joking. They're saying, you know grammar mistakes bad words slang very casual So a Lot of students they they learn English and then They think oh, I have to improve my English. They watch like CNN or BBC CNN and BBC This two formal that's not gonna help your English. So I never I never recommend CNN or BBC This is not real English When you're learning to speak English, you got to learn more of the casual style listening and speaking So Layla always asks me about starting Starting sentences with and but because Now generally we don't start Sentences with and but because informal writing, but you can do that in informal writing. No problem And also informal is like Facebook Twitter texting people. That's all casual informal All right, I gotta move on Mob info, what did you say? I Know my English. Oh Let's change the color. I know my English is not true But I'm working on my English learning through shy English and this channel. You're a really great worker. So God bless you Thank you very much mob info I think I think your English is better than you think a lot of people they come here My English is terrible, but actually it's pretty good. So mob info. You're talking to me right now. I'm a native speaker I understand you I understand your words. So you're communicating successfully. Good job Eligible bachelor. I see I see I see Eligible bachelor. Oh, okay. That's a little different. Yeah, an eligible bachelor is a term that means that that person is a Desirable I'm putting I'm writing under eligible bachelors bachelor Desirable unmarried man. Yeah, so yeah, if you said eligible bachelor now, I understand If they're desirable probably they have wealth and status and the other things you said sleepwalker I was surprised when I heard that phrasal verbs. We shouldn't use informal writing, too There's just so many phrase some phrasal verbs maybe but I think most people Most native speakers don't even know most Most native speakers don't even know the term phrasal verbs if I walked up to a native speaker I said what is a phrasal verb? Most native speakers do not know what a phrasal verb is Some people watching right now don't know what a phrasal verb is. I'm not teaching free phrasal verbs right now, but sleepwalker phrasal verbs are usually short So if you're writing an essay you want to use bigger words more precise words and Phrasal verbs are not are very good for speaking But in writing you want to use better words So you can use informal writing. I don't think anybody would care too much, but it's it's good to try and use more precise words in And if I wish I had an example right now give me a phrasal verb, let's see all right, so In this sentence here, I wrote Precise words means exact words now. I wrote a phrasal verb here. You should see to your in oops You should see to your injury Now this is this is a very common way to express this phrasal verb And what was this phrasal verb mean see to see to your injury? So if you're writing essay or an article or something. Yeah, it's you can write this people understand But it would be better to use a more precise word What is see to mean in this in this context? It could mean Check your injury it can mean treat your injury You know visit the doctor So the phrasal verb is not always a Precise exact meaning so in your writing if you're writing formal writing it would be better To if you wanted to say treat You should treat your injury. That would be a better precise word to use not the phrasal verb But again, if you use the phrasal verb, I don't think you'd be that big of a problem Layla is telling a joke. Let's see Layla's joke Robin will pick on us if we say our English is not good enough. Yeah, I won't pick on you I will get angry. So there's a little difference between I will scold you and I will pick on you now scold you is Not funny. I will Pick on is funny ha ha ha ha when I'm teasing you School is serious the teacher usually the teacher doesn't pick on students the teacher schooled students. So If you say your English is not good, I'll say hey your English is great. You shouldn't say that I Usually I usually never pick on students. I usually don't tease students Sir, are we all talking like informal English here? Yeah, I think everyone in the Chat is just kind of informal It's it's informal because you know if you're writing you guys are typing, you know If this was like your sentence here This should be capital you're not following the rules, right? You just wrote sir now for the comment section That's fine. That's fine. I'm not complaining but informal writing. We have to make sure sir Are we all are we all? talking like Talking would say in informal English here and you have an exclamation. This should be a question mark Okay. Now I fixed it to formal style Why you typed is kind of informal. I don't care because there's a chat, but if you're writing an essay I Would fix up the grammar. I'd make sure this is capital. I'd make sure there's I'd make sure we're following all the rules There it is again bark tech Okay, see you Leila All right, I'll finish up this live stream in a couple minutes here. I'll just finish up the last questions You should take care of your injury Take care. I would get in writing. I would say be more precise. Take care. What does that mean? kind of magnum opus You know applied to any persons We usually don't use Magnum magnum opus. I never use it. We don't usually use that for normal people. That's usually used for great people so No We don't use it for just normal people Magnum opus So we would use that for You know fix up your Can a magnum opus? This is a kind of a collection of great work So for example if we're talking about Christopher Nolan the director of the Dark Knight and Interstellar and tenant So he's a great person a great director So his magnum opus is I don't know the Dark Knight Series maybe his greatest achievement his greatest his greatest Directing movies, I don't know we wouldn't use it for like me. I wouldn't say my magnum opus is whatever That's a Latin word by the way We don't use that. Where'd you get that Alyssa? And I always like listening to stories audiobooks great Awesome, this is the kind of things you students need to do I Always like listening to stories audiobooks and also listening grammar. Yeah listening Stories audiobooks great great for you Palavi do you always follow grammar rules? No, I break them all the time when I'm speaking on On the shy English online channel These days I'm editing I edit every video. So there's esters videos. There's bills videos. There's Fanny's videos and When I edit their videos You know it takes a long time to edit a video for me. I'm not fast. I'm a professional But I hear Every word Pronunciation grammar I am an expert on how these these teachers speak. I Know how exactly how they pronounce words. I know They're bad habits. I know how when they break grammar rules When they say wrong words, I know everything about these teachers now the The people watching the students watching probably will not realize When the teacher is breaking a grammar rule because of native speakers often break a grammar rule when they're speaking especially me But yeah, when I'm editing their videos I'll be listening. Oh, I found Some grammar they some when they were speaking they broke some grammar rule that nobody's gonna notice I noticed but nobody's gonna notice Every foreigner does that There's no perfect speaker So yeah, we all that we You are learners. I'm a teacher. We should always try to follow and speak Using the best grammar we should try to improve ourselves But you know in in reality, you know, we often break rules We don't worry about what we know if I'm talking to another if I'm talking to Esther and I break some grammar rules And she breaks nobody cares. Nobody cares marine chimisee She's asking about the desirable Desirable bachelor so desirable something that is desirable you want so a bachelor is the unmarried man So who's a desirable bachelor these days? So Leonardo DiCaprio? I'm running So Leonardo DiCaprio is not married He's single. He's a bachelor. All right. He's a bachelor He is not married. So but I want to say he's desirable and Does that mean that means many women? Want him they desire him. All right, so they want to marry him or go out with him or something He's a desirable bachelor from a video titled Magnus Magnum opus your purpose in life Yeah, I guess you could apply it to yourself But we don't that's just the video title looking special pick on you Find fault with you. No. Yeah, it can be in pick on is teasing kind of joking way There's many way, you know pick on is a phrasal verb.
