 Hello, everyone. Welcome to my live stream. I'm here with my new assistant. I'm just playing with the live stream functions. There's a Canada one. Should I be in Canada? Let's do that. All right, welcome. Hi, Robin. Yeah, let's put that up on the board. Hi, Robin. You want to scare us with this thumbnail? Yes, yes, I do. Sleepwalkers here. Hello, everyone. Good morning from Columbia. Jonathan's here. Hello. So, Anna Marie. Oh, Anna Marie. So, here we go. Hello, Layla. Of course, our Dr. Robin. Of course, you want to say, dear, I'm going to talk about that one first. So, the DR, increase this font size, DR. So, DR, for quick texting chat DR apparently means short form for dear, but with all short form of English for texting, I do not recommend any short form of texting. You know, like some people write like that for thank you or I don't even know. I don't even know. What about you? All that short form of texting is garbage to me. So, I don't recommend anyone do this. And Anna Marie, I am going from now, I'm going to ban this from our WhatsApp group because you saw someone else do it and they're wrong. They shouldn't do it, but you're starting to copy what other people are doing. So, that's the problem with WhatsApp. And some students, you start using stuff that they shouldn't really be using and then other students start to copy. So, never use DR for dear. No one's going to understand that. Hello, Kavinu. Thank you. Oh, what's this? Layla gave a super sticker. What's a super sticker? Is that some sort of... I don't think I've got a super sticker before. Oh, that's money. Oh, Layla, you don't have to give me money. Rich people watching me have to give me money. People who make a lot of money, they should give me money. But people who don't have regular income, they shouldn't give me money. I don't need their money. But if you have a good-paying job, I would appreciate a coffee from time to time. But of course, I'm not really here for the money. But thank you very much, Layla. I appreciate that. But once a year for you, Layla. That's enough. For once every two years. And Lolly, Lolly, hello from France. I'm just going through... Yeah, let's go back to big screen so you can look at my face. Kavinu had some tests. Oh. Oh, lots of chats. Chat, chat, chats. Trying to catch up here. All right. Yeah, I'll move the chats here. So I kind of look at the camera. You guys are talking to each other. So I'm trying to find chats directed at me. I don't know. Some of you don't come here to talk to me. Some of you come here to talk to the other chat members. I think Sleepwalker has more fans than me. Thank you, Layla. You can hear and see me after five minutes. That's good to know. If you can't hear me and see me, that would be five minutes of me talking to myself. Harry 300, hello. Tikka. Tikka, us here. I think you meant to say is here. Rezong Izam, hello from Algeria. Welcome. And Layla has a question. Let's take a look. I don't know how to use the idiom up for grabs in a proper way. Nevertheless... Wow, you're using nevertheless in a sentence. I think using nevertheless is more... Nevertheless is more difficult than up for grabs. Anyway, nevertheless, I tried my own sentence. She quit from the company. Now her position is up for grabs. That sounds right. Looks good to me. So we will get everyone else to know up for grabs. Here, I'm just going to... I was like, so let's put me down here. So idiom means available. Available. That's what it means. So it's... I don't think it's that way. Up for grabs means directly available. So any available for other people to come and take. So if something's up for grabs, other people can come and take it. So Layla, you did that fine. Mayfongqi, hello. And let's see. Tangbao, I can't pronounce your name. Nice to meet you. Welcome. You got a lot of new people today. Hi from Nigeria. Hello. I'm finally here. We've been waiting for you. Antica Robin is burning house. Negative connotation. What do you mean by burning house? The house is burning? Is there some idiom burning house? Well, that's bad. If I said my house is burning, that means it's on fire. That is bad. That's a bad thing. I don't know if you're talking about some idiom, but I don't know any idiom. So bad. Yeah, bad. Sleepwalker. Robin, the word queer is just a synonym of strange. Yes. Kind of outdated. We don't use, I guess in English, we don't use queer so much anymore because over time, you know, a long time ago, queer kind of means strange. But over time, queer has come to mean gay, gay or lesbian. So if you said he's queer, you know, maybe 50 years ago, that means he's strange, but in 2022, that would mean he's gay. So I would advise you don't use queer to mean strange anymore. Some words over time change their meaning and yeah, 99.99.9% of the time queer is now meaning gay. Hope that helps. Bra malam hello. Hello, hello. Robin, you deserve it. You are helping me a lot. Layla, you deserve more than you know. How many steps did you walk today? The final count of today, because I like to walk. And I like that. You know, Jonathan gets a plus points because he asked me the question I like to hear. So I walked 26,000 steps. That's what I walked today. And 26,000 steps took me four hours. I walked for four hours because in the early morning, I was at the studio filming with Alexandra. I don't know if you know Alexandra. I hope you know Alexandra. She's on my Shaw English website with videos. So I was filming with Alexandra today. And actually, I did an Instagram live today. If you were on my Instagram, you saw Alexandra. She was there doing a live Instagram. After that, I walked home. And it takes me about four hours to walk from the studio to home. So I walked home. Covino, I don't have much money, so I can't provide you with money yet. No, Covino, we don't need your money. Covino, you don't send me your money. And Bra malam hello. In our WhatsApp group, have you got anyone as disappointed? I mean, is there anyone you don't like? Yeah, in my WhatsApp group, I have a few WhatsApp groups. And of course, I try to collect good students in the top WhatsApp group. If you are there, you know about it. Are there students I don't like? I don't hate anybody, but sometimes students say or do things that I'd rather they don't say that or do that. But that's their personality. So as long as they follow the rules, and I like students, I like, you know, I would say I'm neutral. So neutral means, you know, there's some students I like, and there's some students I'm just neutral. I don't hate them, but I really don't have any feeling for them. So as you know, we had one student last week that was saying very, very bad things to me. I don't know why maybe they're watching today. Even that person who's saying bad things to me, I don't hate them. I'm more neutral. I just want to keep a happy chat room. Sleepwalker asks a question here. The question which we were discussing on the previous line, live, where there are about 30 minutes left, where they were, was there about the last, and why, and I look for more sentences like that and met. Well, I thought we answered that that asked tense, like grammatically, which is short for minutes, grammatically, as far as I grammatically, okay, it wants me to fix that. This past tense, there were 30 minutes left. There are 30 minutes left. Grammatically, this is correct. It should use R. But, of course, a native speaker is going to say there is 30 minutes left, or there was 30 minutes left. I'm pretty sure grammatically we should use were and are, but a native speaker certainly will use was and is. You should follow the grammar rules, use was or were and are, but, of course, you're going to hear a native speaker use was, it is. If you do hear the native speaker use the incorrect grammar, never fix them. Sleepwalker, were there none left? Was there none left? Oh, you're going on a similar vein, because native speakers don't know. That's why they use both. Were there, was there none left? I don't know. I'm going to go with were, but I'm going to check my assistant. He is none here. I'm going to check Euglish really quick, because Euglish will tell me what people are saying. There were none left. Euglish had 50, 50, about 50, 50, 50 percent saying there was none left and 50 percent saying there were none left. So you want to know the correct answer. And I'm going to go with were, there were, there is nothing. There are none left. I need to present it. There are none left. There is none left. Yeah, I'm going to go with there are none left, but if you said there is nothing left, this would be use is. That's what I'm going with. If you, if you find something, that's a, that's a difficult question, because native speakers are going to use both ways. And when native speakers use both ways, both ways are correct. But if you're writing your IELTS, of course, yeah. So that, uh, yeah, native speakers are going to use both. Hey, La, I encountered this phrase. I'm wide awake and I can't see the sky. So according to the dictionary, I can say I'm fully awake. Yeah. Uh, I'm wide awake is the same as I'm fully awake. I'm wide awake. I'm fully awake. Ope, Saint Val morning from Haiti. Welcome. Ta-da. Nice to meet you. Ta-da. Muaza. Hi, I'm from South Korea. Where in South Korea? Because I'm in Kwangmyung, South Korea. I have a question. Which preference is correct in the blank? We go. I went hiking. Okay. At, how about that one? Bukan mountain or we'll say mount. As you said, Bukan. Famous mountain. I went hiking at, uh, uh, usually we're going to use at for location. This is your location right here. So this is going to be your present, uh, preposition. But you might also hear I went hiking to Mount Bukan, which a native speaker might say, but it's a little not, uh, accurate. Uh, you might hear I went hiking on Mount Bukan. So, uh, the best, there's many prepositions you can use here, depending on what you're trying to express. I would, I would probably put it in this order. I mean, I'm going to take out two, but I went hiking on Mount Bukan. I went hiking at that location. So if you want to be specific on it, you're on it. If you just want to focus on the location, use at. What's the meaning of to get into a soup? I don't know. Get into a soup. What's that? Get into a soup. Get into a soup. Oh, it is. Uh, it is a real expression. So is that British or am I stupid? Because I've never heard that. All right. Let's go. What's the meaning of get into a soup? I tried translate, but the lecture said is wrong because I used literal translations. Yeah, that's, that's an idiot. You can't, you can't translate idioms. That, this is one area translation programs will fail. If you put in an idiom and translate it, well, it'll give you the literal meaning. Uh, so I don't use get into the soup, but I see the BBC, uh, website is talking about it. So it might be a British expression. That's why I don't know. Actually, I don't know it. So to be in the soup, it means to be in a dangerous situation or a difficult situation where you are likely to be punished. I'm going to copy their example sentence. I told her not, not to send that email, but she wouldn't listen to me. And now she's in the soup. So she's, she did send the email and now she's in trouble by her boss or something. So I learned, I learned something today from my students who teach me English. Where can I use fair enough? That's an interesting question. Uh, you just want to tell someone that's, that's a fair deal. I want $20 for my bike and someone might say fair, fair enough. And it means I agree. That's a suitable price. Fair enough. So if they give you, so if you're negotiating or talking about money or rules or something and you agree, you could say fair enough, or I understand, and I'm just going to go the dictionary here, copy. So fair enough means use to admit that something is reasonable or acceptable. So I want $20 for my bike, fair enough, which means that's, that's reasonable. I agree. That's reasonable. Fair enough. So that's usually spoken English. Kind of, we just say fair enough, fair enough. What have you filmed videos about today? We, uh, Alexandra, Alexandra filmed about numbers. So we studied a little bit numbers in this class learning English numbers. So she talks about that. Got my internet connection. Now I don't know how to pronounce it negate hall gate hall. Hello. Can you add me and you where to the, to the WhatsApp group or you, you gotta find it on my, website, join the WhatsApp. Mayfong Chi, which sentence is correct? I think she came to the party where I thought she came to the party. How do you describe event that happened in the past but we are saying now. Okay. Interesting question. I think she came to the party. I thought she came to the party. So let's get her spelling. So I think she came to the party. Uh, this could be used. We are at the party right now. And someone says, where's Susie? We're at the party. We're Susie. I think, I think she came to the party. Someone could say that. So we're at the party now. Now it can also be the next day. Did Susie come to the party? I think she came to the party. I think she came to the party. So this came can put a past tense that, you know, any point after she arrived. So we can be at the party or the next day. We can say, I think she came to the party talking about the past. Now I thought she came to the party. This is more that you are wrong in your thinking. So Susie didn't come to the party last night. Susie, why did I choose Susie? And person B will say, oh, not E. Oh, really? I thought she came to the party. So, uh, yeah, we would use this more as expressing, we had a mistake in our thinking. So oh, I thought she came to the party, but I was wrong. So you were wrong in your thinking. So for the past tense, I think she came to the party and I thought she came to the party is more expressing that you made a mistake in your thinking in the past tense. Uh, just tell me, do you think that you don't have adequate time for anything because of your livelihood? Uh, I don't have time for anything. YouTube, YouTube sucks out your soul. YouTube's a lot of work. None is the same as no one and nobody right. I don't want to say it's the same because I don't want to say 100% because there's going to be some situations. None does not mean the same. So I'm going to say no because I don't believe it's 100%. Usually it can be, but not always. So I should write there. There was none left, but I came across were none left. No, as I said, sleepwalker, I'm going to go with were none, but you might, you might see both, but I go with were none. When you want to buy something, do you look forward to the cheap price or the quality? I do not buy anything. This hat is old. This shirt is old. My phone is old. There's nothing I buy. So I'm not even cheap price. Just don't even buy it. Lower price between good quality. That's good. Uh, Tika here, do you prefer someone being rigid to being casual while chatting? I usually text my friend with no emojis, but nowadays I force myself to use emojis because if I don't use it, I would sound emotionless. I understand that Tika. That's a good point. So we have to understand that online we have, we chat with our friends and we chat with English learners. So, you know, you're chatting to your friends in your own language. It's different to chatting to other English learners. Now, when you're chatting to your friends, emojis are great. emojis are wonderful. Slang is wonderful. Short form of texting is wonderful. So there are no rules. No rules when you chat with your friends. You can do anything you want. Nobody cares. But when you're chatting with other English learners, I don't, I don't like lazy chatting. So lazy chatting is when students use a quick form of chatting and they, they have bad grammar and, you know, it's too informal or they use a lot of emojis. I don't like that. I like students who try to express themselves in only English with good grammar and spelling. Spelling is usually the problem. So this is what I recommend. If you are talking with other learners of English, don't use that chat, quick chat style. That doesn't work. You want to try to express yourself in only English with good grammar and spelling. Should you use emojis with English learners? You can, but I don't recommend it. You know, as you said, it's difficult to express emotion with just words, but try. You have to try and express emotion with just words. Using emojis is too easy. So different kinds of chat. So take it with your friends. No rules, but when you're talking to other English learners, try to do your best to express yourself. One thing I really hate in online chat is bro. Oh, a bro. When students say that to me, I usually sometimes I kick them out. Some of my groups depends on the mood of the day, but if someone says, hey, bro to me, and they'll send me a private message, hey, bro, I hate that. I hate that. It's too casual. What is bro? I'm not I'm a teacher, right? I'm not your bro. I don't like that. But the problem with, you know, using emojis in these quick, lazy forms, when you start using them, other students copy that style. So everyone's going to see, hey, bro, and then they're going to copy, hey, bro, and then you got a million people saying, hey, bro. And it's like, ah, you guys. Anyway, I could talk hours. Ah, Pallavi teacher, do I deserve an apology teacher? I shouldn't have talked to you like that. I'm very sorry about that. I annoyed you. I annoyed you a lot. I shouldn't have bothered you so much. Okay. Well, Pallavi, I don't hate you and I understand that sometimes people have bad days. So good luck, Pallavi, in whatever you're doing. I don't worry about that. I've been on YouTube and Instagram a long time. So a lot of people say bad things to me every day. Okay. Oh, you want to apologize? Okay. Yeah, don't apologize to me. Apologize to other people. Layla, ooh, she is still virgin. She is virgin. Could they have the same meaning? Well, yes. I don't know why I use the word virgin, but yes, she's a virgin yet. Yeah. So I want to say that word because that word might, tube might not like that word. I don't know. So yeah, once, this is the better sentence. This is made, this one, it will mean the same thing, but this one is usually for spoken English. So if you're writing, this is the sentence you want to use if you're writing formally. But for speaking, yeah, you might hear a native speaker say this means the same thing. Tika, I was banned in some groups by using emojis and stickers. They are good between friends, but if we are serious about going deep in English, I have to admit they don't have sense. Yeah. So a few years ago in some of my groups, some students just use too many emojis and stickers. And usually I give a warning. Don't use them too much. Occasionally, fine. Fine. Everything occasionally fine, but in too much. I give a warning and sometimes a kick out. So in the English learners groups, best practice your English. But of course, sometimes people are going to, okay, we, Pallavi, you're forgiven, but I'm not going to talk about that issue on the live stream, Pallavi. Everything is forgiven. I never hated you, Pallavi. So everything's okay. Lolly, Lolly, I'm walking across the bridge. I'm walking over the bridge. Which one is correct? They're both correct because we use across the bridge. Oh, I'm walking. Okay. I get it. I get it now. Why you're asking this? Because the problem is across, over the bridge is right, but the problem is across the bridge, which a native speaker might say, but is it, are they saying it correctly? Yeah. Yeah, both are okay. Oh, yeah, both are okay. So you're going to hear both Lolly, Lolly, across the bridge, over the bridge. I cannot find anything that says one is better than the other. They look about equal for usage. No problem. Thanks, Mr. Ram. I live in Incheon. That's where I work. I work in Incheon at the Inha. Robin, I'm astonished. Does it mean only positive stories or could be, I'm going to say that's neutral. Depending on the situation, it could be positive. It can be negative. So let me just check that double triple confirm. Yeah, I'm going to say neutral. No connotation positive or negative. Alyssa is here. I'm sorry, Pallavi. I'm sure you're, you're sorry, but Pallavi, Pallavi, too much drama. So Pallavi, from my heart, sincerely, you are creating too much drama. We are just starting, we just, we're just trying to learn English here and in the groups. And, you know, you're a very nice person, but you're very emotional. And, you know, you're always creating these problems. And you're always wanting to say sorry. Your story is rejected. You're not a bad person, but there's a little bit too much drama for a live stream. Don't bring that into the live stream. Don't bring that into the group. So sorry, Pallavi. I have, I'm here to answer English questions. I'm not here to get apologies. I'm not here to solve the world issues. I just got to answer questions. And I'm about 15 minutes behind. So I'll speed up. Sorry, sorry, students. While I was walking outside the sky turned dark and storm clouds begin to form above me, should I use two after turned? No, no, I'm just going to answer quickly. No, you know, I'm a little bit mad. If you don't mind, please tell me. Am I include the list? Cavino, I'm here to, everyone's angry at me because they're like, Cavino, that's drama too. Cut it out. We don't need drama. I'm here to answer questions. How can I improve Salome? How do I pronounce that Salome? You're in the group. Every time I see your name, Salome. I guess I have to check in the group the correct pronunciation. How can I improve my English by reading books or watching movies? I just watched series with English subtitles. I want to do that better and learn more. It would be great if I know your opinion. Well, first is do what you love. Do what you like to do. So you said, you know, as a teacher, I would love for you to read books, but I know that's not practical. A lot of people don't want to read books. Fine. So watching movies with subtitles or TV series with subtitles, if you like doing that, continue to do that. Continue to do that. Do it more. Okay. Okay. I'm not going to answer everything, but I am reading it. Here he is. Here he is. Here he is. Here he is. All right. So pronunciation of here he is. Now in English, this H often, sometimes silent, like in words like our honest, the H is silent. We don't even say the H. These are silent. And so it's a very weak letter, the H. And I think in French, la, la, la, they don't even say the H, right? So when we speak very fast, often we drop, we drop the H. So if someone is speaking, you know, you can say here he is, but if someone speaking very fast, here he is, we'll drop that H. Here he is. Do you have a car? You know, if we enunciate, do you have a car? But of course someone might say, do you have a car? Do you have a car? Do you have a car? Do you have a car? That H cut out. So when you're listening to a fascinating speaker, those H's might be gone and they're just saying, do you have a car? Here he is. Here he is. Alex, how to know whether to use past simple or past perfect in the following sentences? I'll read your sentences later, I guess. Alex, did you put them up? All right, try to read. Okay, Covino is assistant teacher. I'm going towards the farm. I'm going, those are different. Those are different. Those are very different meanings toward and across. Lazy chatting is just my expression. That's not a common expression. Robin, you are strict. I don't want to be strict, but I have to because students abuse, if you don't put rules, students abuse the rules or they abuse the system. I really hate being strict, but students always abuse the rules if you don't have, you know, abuse the system if you don't have strict rules. Thank you so much, Ahmed Hassan Mohamed. Thank you very much. Mariam, hello teacher, I'm doing well. Let's say sorry, Robin, but could check if my short paragraph is, if my short paragraph is correct, I only intend to post the first threes I only intended. So you want to say I only, I'm writing on my digital whiteboard here, I only intended to post the first three sentences, but I accidentally, but I accidentally accidentally hit send. I only intended to post the first three sentences, but I accidentally hit send. Thank you. Tika, I don't like using short form because it's vague and indeed it sounds lazy while typing plus the new filter and WhatsApp reaction is pretty annoying to me as it's copying from Telegram. Yeah, I don't use that. I don't use any of that. All right. How to know whether to use past simple or past perfect in the following sentences. Is there a difference before I went to university? I worked. I had worked. All right. So normally, Alex, I do not talk about grammar tenses. You're talking about grammar tenses, Alex, and I want to help, but grammar tenses takes, you know, is not easy. As you know, as everyone knows here, that's not easy. And that takes a little preparation because when you're talking about past tense, past perfect, there's many different ways to use it. So there's no, there's no easy rules for any. So, but I will give a quick answer. What are your, and I'm going to just copy. When to use past perfect. And yeah, this is the, I think this is a use past simple, but this is asking, yeah, simple past past simple. It's the same. So what's the difference between past perfect and past simple past past simple? That's what you're asking. When you're talking about some point in the past and want to reference an event that happened even earlier using the past perfect allows you to convey the sequence of events. So when you want to talk about one event, you just use simple past. But when you want to talk about two events, like one past event and one earlier event, then you're talking, then you're going to use the past perfect. So let's look at your example sentences. All right, I worked as a before I went to university. Take up the comma I had worked as a carpenter. So before I went to university, now here is our past event went to the university. And you went, you want to express a past event went to the university and then a past past event working as a carpenter, then you're going to use this hat right here because there's two. Now if you just want to now just these these two these two sentences, I just made them simple past. I went to university one event in the past. I worked as a carpenter one event in the past. But here you're having two events in the past went to university. And before that worked as a carpenter. That is when you're going to use the past perfect right there had worked. Hope that helps, Alex. Sleepwalker, what was the strangest or the funniest situation between you and your students since you have been teaching? Whoa, there have been some strange and funny things. And some of them I cannot say on the live stream. Yeah, there's a lot of things I cannot say on the live stream. I know you're curious what tell us tell us. But these are things that I'll tell you when I meet you. Students can be funny if they want. But a lot of times in my class they just don't like English. They don't want to be there. So they're they're not trying to be funny in my class. Oh, I really like it when students imitate me. You know, we're all humans. We all have our habits and mannerisms of how we talk, how we remove my we move our bodies. And sometimes students imitate me and imitate what I say. And, you know, it is so funny. It is so funny when I see students imitate me. And sometimes they when they imitate me, it's in a bad way, but I'm still laughing. It's hilarious to me. Leila, I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna talk about that word. Sorry, Leila, that word is a little not appropriate for the live stream. Kavino, my ambition is to be like you one day, Robin sir, I'm always trying to improve my English in my childhood. Otherwise, I really think my English has been improved than earlier. Well, Kavino, I'm gonna give you some advice. I am teaching you to be better than me. I don't want you to be like me, Kavino. I want you to be better than me. You know, I only went so far in my life. I hit, this is my level. This is who I am. But I hope you pass me. You go away, pass me and have more success and develop as a person better. Thank you for saying kind words, but my goal is that you're better than me. And I think you can do that, Kavino. You can be better than me one day. You're still young. And I'll do my best to help you. I guess we need to make the effort on writing even our feelings. Anna Maria, you always have to make the effort. It can be difficult even in our native language. But if we try to do that on English, any English, it will make things even more challenging. Yes, always make the effort, always make it challenging. If something is easy, you're not going to develop. It has to be challenging to get you to that next level. I we, you know, there's no time to be lazy in in your path to fluency. Oh, Harry 300. Sometimes I'm confused with the word yet. I used to be taught that yet is for negative sentences. It's a neutral word. So if I say, I haven't I yet, is that bad? Or do you mean like the negative in the feeling or the it's using a negative word? So if it's just negative word, he is not here yet. Yeah, haven't not here. These are these are negatives. And we're using it. All right. Thank you. Thank you. The best way really not a thank you guy. I know you guys want to show your appreciation. But to really, really thank me. You don't need to say thank me. I need you to show me your English is improving. And when I see students and the English is improving, then I feel, oh, yeah, good student. Then I feel, then I feel good about myself. You know, I can teach you, I can, I can spend five minutes here teaching you something. And you say, thank you. That doesn't mean you learned it. That doesn't mean you learned it. That doesn't mean you're going to use it. So, you know, thank you. I know is a common greeting. But that really doesn't have meaning to me. Because what has meaning to me is you learned it and you used it. And then I feel good. Okay, I'm just going to speed along here. I am reading is haywire commonly used? Yes. I know you want me to talk more about that, but I got to move along haywire is commonly used. My life is already in a drama. Don't bring more drama here. Yes. I had to remove Pilavi. That's why I invade your groups with picks and songs. Anna Maria, you're free to, you know, a group is, we also have to enjoy coming to the group. So, if we just talk about boring English and learning English all the time, yeah, that's not going to be a fun thing. So it's okay to bring in, you know, I bring in pictures and videos just to have something to talk about and share with our friends. So that's okay. Maudi, hello. T-Robin. So T-Robin would be short form for teacher. Miss you, man. Miss you too. Yeah, Covino, you can ask questions in the group. But Covino, you got to understand that when I'm doing the live stream, and if Pilavi's watching, this is a very stressful time for me because I have to organize the technical stuff. I'm using three monitors. I'm looking at the chat. I'm coughing. So this is very difficult for me sometimes, very stressful. So I'm trying to focus on the teaching. And when you're bringing in these other issues, it's really hard for me to concentrate on my job. And my job is to improve your English. My job, this is my job. One, improve your English. Two, be your friend. So whenever I go into the group, I am listening and I don't always reply, but I am listening and reading everyone's chat and thinking about ways to improve your English. Two is be your friend. Now sometimes I'm going to be friendly, but sometimes I'm not going to be friendly because my job is improve your English. So you got to remember that sometimes. Number one is not be your friend. That's number two. Number one is improve your English. Of course we can be friends, but I'm not always friends. A lot of the time I'm just teacher. Oh, Hyeong-woo. Hyeong-woo, Jo. There we go. There we go. There's the rich guy who gave $10. Thank you, Hyeong-woo. We're $10. Finally, I got a rich fan. That buys me coffee for one and a half days. Thank you, Hyeong-woo, for the coffee. I made a lot of money in this stream today. I think this is the biggest, most successful stream I've had thanks to Hyeong-woo and Layla. Yeah, Madi, I know who you are. Recognize me. Yes, man, I know you. I have no time to learn another language. I do, if I do learn another language and I know, I know this is going to upset some people, it's going to be Spanish because I like to travel and Spanish is a necessary language for travel. Don't forget to like this video. Yes, I can see there's a few likes. Everyone take a moment and like the video. Show me that you love me right now. Use your thumb. Scroll, I don't know, you have to scroll up the chat and hit like. Show me your love right now. Rich, rich, rich, rich fit official. How have you been? How have you been? How have you been? That should be. How have you been? How have you been? I guess how have you been? How have you been? Yeah, I've been great. Hi, I'm Pratiba. Welcome. And oh, I'm still very far behind. All right, Tika's gone. Hey, why are you commonly used? Yes. Okay, so in my language, we age strongly. I understand. What sort of skills might be important for young generation in the future? Computer skills. Computer skills. Just you have to learn computer skills. Every job requires a higher level of computer skills every year. Computer skills, familiar with social media, familiar with different kinds of applications. That's what you need. Even you, Layla, as you know, you've got to learn some computer skills. Convenient. By the way, Ron, I want to search contact a pen friend of my age. I searched on Google but don't know exactly where they are. Oh, geez, that's a good question. And I'm real, that's the most important question of this live stream. Where can you get it? I don't know if Hyunwoo is still watching. Hyunwoo, what was that pen friend site? Hyunwoo, a pen, I forget. Let's see if I can find it. I think it was InterPals. Or maybe InterPals, that's a website. I haven't used it. All of these are going to be English. Here is a penpal world. Maybe we can, maybe we can make a penpal one day on the live stream. All right, I got to speed along here. I wonder if it sounds polite to you and you call your teacher Robin. And Mr. Robin. I prefer just Robin. Mr. Robin would be wrong because my name is Robin Shaw. So if you're going to use Mr., you should use Mr. with the last name. So Mr. Robin would be wrong. We would never, a native speaker would not do that. So if you want to use Mr. to show respect and honor, Mr. Shaw. I prefer Robin. And of course, teacher Robin is okay. One of these, I prefer I guess just Robin because it's simple. Why are we getting so many new people today? It's very surprising. Good. Welcome to so many new people. Totally right. The best reward for our teachers seeing their students improve better than them. Right. Thank you, Covino. Monty says, I'm an English lover. Yes. I'm from Canada. Okay. Gui. Yeah. And Hingo shows me the money. Hingo, only $10. Thank you. Only one English. I only focus on English. Okay. You guys are talking. Okay. I'm going to move along here. I'm reading the comments. Hello talk. I've used, I'm on hello talk. All right. Layla and we get computer skills. Yeah. Well, you got to get better Layla. And you are. Mariam. Sorry, teacher. What magazine you recommend to improve reading skill? Magazine. Dude. The only thing I know is online BBC, learning English and Voice of America, learning English. These are the sites I usually go to. Let's check them out together. Let's go and BBC, learning English. So this is one site I can write. It's an app too. I believe you can download. So they have courses, articles, grammar stuff, vocabulary, pronunciation, quizzes. You can find a lot of things here to read. Like they have a story. They also have the audio of the story. So like that. It's really good for BBC learning English. I believe it's an app too. And Voice of America, learning English, learning English. BBC learning English is the British style and Voice of America is the American style. And they have a beginner intermediate advance. Let's start a beginner. And, you know, they have articles here. You can read the article. They'll highlight some vocabulary. And then you can also listen. You can play it and listen to the article. These are great resources to read and listen. And as for a magazine, like a paper magazine, I really don't know. Maybe Time Magazine? If you want to order a magazine, maybe they still, I think Time Magazine would be a great magazine. If you wanted to order and read a magazine, Time Magazine, they're online too. So you could just read it online. But if you wanted to order, I don't know if they still print paper magazines. Can't really see. Okay. I don't know about the, but you could all, anyway, everyone watching, you could go to Time here, time.com. I think it's good for learning English. Let's see the level. Yeah, I think that's small paragraphs here. Might be a good, good place to learn English. Time Magazine. 10-8 is good. I don't like TED Talks. If you like them, do it. But they're really not my style. Well, has your been, what has your week been like? Yeah, that would be the scene. So I'm sorry, I'm a channel member here. Covino, you're not a channel member here. And unfortunately, I cannot, I don't have the power to make you a channel member, but you don't have to worry about that. Yeah. Do you have Twitter? Yes, I have Twitter. I am, we are live, we are live on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter right now. The YouTube people and the Facebook people can reply. The Twitter people cannot reply. If you're watching me on Twitter, welcome. I'm just going to check who's, no one's watching me on Twitter. I don't think right now. Maybe next week I'm not going to be on Twitter. But my Twitter is Shaw English, Shaw English now. Not much is happening on Twitter. There's the Twitter. So Robin, do you have Twitter? I like how people share things. They're talking about news, trending topics and that is, yeah. So it's a good way to practice English Twitter. I would agree. Twitter is a good place to practice English. Have you watched The Herd and Johnny Depp, Amanda Herd and Johnny Depp trial? I don't watch it, but of course I hear some news about it. I don't really like that kind of drama. Don't listen to these craps. Crap is usually uncountable. So don't listen to that crap in your self-opinion. Yeah, I would like my students to devote all their time to studying English. But of course, sometimes it's okay to watch or look at crap. But not too much. Not too much. There's some people that it's definitely too much. But maybe a few minutes a day, I'm reading the news. I'll hear about Johnny Depp and Amanda Herd. But yeah, I would agree with Marty not to spend too much time watching that unless you're studying English. All right, I might have missed some comments. And I'm sorry if I missed your comment. But I'm going to finish up very soon here. Most of the questions tonight were from YouTube. I did have some from Facebook. And of course it tells you, you can see the little YouTube icon under your name. I had some on Facebook. Oh, we have Moon Soo Jung. You can see he's from Facebook here asking questions. Anyway, thanks a lot for everyone for watching today. I think we're gonna, what was whenever I say goodbye, you always, my students always get some last comments in. Why do you say so? I just wanted to be a channel member. I don't, I don't have the power to choose my channel members. That's, that's with YouTube. So I don't have the power. You, you are a member of this group, but officially, to get the little icon next to your name, I have no power over that, Covino. And Covino, please do not be so sensitive. Layla, I guess Robin has a team working with him. What is my team? My team is me and Layla. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. And Alyssa. Okay. Thank you, Marty. Come to WhatsApp and say something. Don't go around. Tell us when you're gonna make the Zoom meeting. Okay, Anna. Zoom meeting. Now, Anna, when I first decided to do the Zoom meeting, my university classes were 100% online. But last week, my university classes became 100% offline, which means I have to go to university every day, including tomorrow. So I'm a little delayed on that because I have to re, you know, for two years, over two years, I didn't go to the university. Suddenly, I have to go back offline. You know, there's a little bit of adjustment period. So once I'm adjusted to university life again, then I'll focus on the Zoom class. So yeah, you're right to ask about that. I'm sorry. But suddenly, I switched from easy online classes to difficult offline classes. And that's a lot of energy. Thanks for Pastryka. Hey, I'm not sensitive. This, when you regain a sentence, hey, that seems like a strong, I'm just a teenager and funny guy. Yep, you are Carvino. All right. See you everyone and take care.
