Don't turn it on
啊啊
So my god
Marco
What happened there an explosion
We love a good explosion
Here at english
We're going to give you as many explosions as possible
Okay
So let's take a look at our language taaway
Language takeaway
So language take away is the part of our lesson
Where we teach you
What we think are some really important words that are found in the dialogue
Exactly
And we have three really important words in our dialogue
Today
So let's start with the first one tidy up
Tidy up
Tidy up
So to tidy up
Means to put things in their correct spot
Right so put the shoes on the floor
Get those shoes off my death
Exactly
Tly titidy up organize things a little bit
Yeah
Put things away
Okay
Let's take a look at our second word now
Spotless
Spotless
Spotless
Spotless
So when you want something to be spotless
You want it to be really clean
Really clean not a spotof srt on like your desk
Exactly my desk is spotless
My desk is not spotless
Are right great word now
Let's take a look at a last word for language take away
Mall mall mall mall mall mall
Yeah
It's a stransounounding d yeit's a little bit funny sounding
But it basically means a large building with many shoshoinside
Many different stores inside
Right now in british english
You would say shopping center
I think that's a little bit more common
But in american english
We say moall great
So now it's time in our show to look at putting it together
Okay
So in putting it together
We take a word from the dialogue
And we show you how to use this word in real english
So we give you a couple of examples of how this particular word can be used
Exactly
So the word that we have for today is groceries
Groceries
Groceries
Groceries
Erica wwhy
Don't you tell us
Groceries ies are about so groceries ies all of the food items that you need
Need buy
Buy the susupermarket
So like grocerss and milk and metvegetgegetables
Groceries
Okay
So lelet's listen to some examples on how we use this phrase
Example one
There's no milk
Can you go to the grocery store
Example too
Here's the grocery list
I need all of these things
So that i can cook dinner tonight
Don't forget anything
Example three
I hate grocery shopping
I can never find what i'm looking for okay great examples
We heard some really interesting combinations
Right Yeah
We heard grocery store
Which is where you buy your groceries
Exactly grocery shopping buying all your groceries and grocery list
Where you have all the items that you need to buy
A list of everything you need to buy
Exactly you know grocery store
I think this is quite a common word in canada
Really so like a small store
Yeah
Do you say grocery store in america
Well if it's a small one
Really so like a small store in canada
I say grocery store for even like a supermarket
Really yeah
I guess
Well i would say supermarket for larlarge one
And grocery store for a little cornshop all of these little differences in american
Canadian
English
Okay
I think it's time for us to listen to our dialogue
Another time
This time it'll be a little bit slower
Honey
The house is such a mess
I need you to help me tidy up a bit
My boss and her husband are coming over for dinner
And the house needs to be spotless
I'm in the middle of something right now i'll be there in a second this can't wait
I need your help now
All right all right
I'm coming okay
Here's a list of chores
We need to get done
I'll do the dishes and get all the groceries for tonight you can sweep and mop the floors
Oh
And the furniture needs to be dusted
You know what i have to pick something up at the mall
So why don't you clean the floors
And i'll code the supermarket and get all the groceries
Sure
That's fine
Here's the list of all the things
You need to get don't forget anything
And can you pick up a bottle of wine on your way home
Hey Honey
I'm back wow
The house looks really good
Great
Can you set the table just a seck
I'm just gonna vacuum this rug rewell fast wait
Don't turn it on
嘟嘟嘟
Okay
Great tes the love hearing that explosion
That vacuum just is a bomb
Yeah
In this dialogue
There was some really interesting language that you can use
If you don't wanto do any choice in the house
Exactly
So it's time now for fluency builder house
Fluency builda
You know fluency builder is a part of our show that we use to take a common phrase or a word that you already know
And show you how to express that idea more fluiently and more naturally
Exactly
So let's take a look at our first idea that we want to explain
Let's say you're watching tv like the woman in this dialogue
And your husband wants you to help him do the choice
And you say no
I'm busy right or i'm doing something those are two great expressions
But we heard something a little bit different
In the dialogue
I'm in the middle of something right now
I'm in the middle of something right now yeah
That phrase is great
I means she's busy
She's doing something yeah
I'm in in the middle of something
Yeah
And so marichael
You can tell us about next next rase ook well now suppose that you want to say you'll ll be soon
You might say i''ll there soon or i'm coming exactly
But in our dialogue
We heard something a little bit different
Let's listen
I'll be there in a second
I'll be there in a second
So this is a more natural way of saying
I'll be there very soon
Yeah
You know what i think
I use this phrase
Almost every day i'll be there in a second
Yeah Yeah
It's really common
Yeah
It means i'll be there really fast
Yes ook so a final item today influency builder um is a great phrase that helps you say the idea could you great
Would you see or can you yes
So can you sweep the floor
Could you sweep the floor
But in the dialogue
We heard something that's a little bit different
Why don't you clean the floors and i'll code the supermarket
Why don't you clean the floors and i'll code the supermarket great
So this is more natural
And it's giving a suggestion
You et sort of a polite way of asking someone to clean the floors
Right it's a really good and polite way of saying it
Yeah
I would agree on that
This was fluency builder
Now we are ready to listen to our dialogue again at its normal speed
And this time you'll understand a lot better
Honey
The house is such a mess
I usually to help me tidy up a bit
My boss and her husband are coming over for dinner
And the house needs to be spotless
I mean the middle is something right
Now i'll be there in a second
This can't wait
I need your help now all right helright
I'm I'm
I'm coming okay
Here's a list of chores
We need to get done
I'll do the dishes and get all the grushes for tonight
You can sweep it up the floors
Oh
And the furniture needs to be dusted
You know what
I have to pick something up in the mall
So why don't you clean the floors and alcohol a superpermarket
Get
Get all groceries ies that's fine
Here's the list of all the things
You need to get
Don't forget anything
And can you pick up a bottle of wine on your way home
Hey Honey
I'm back
Wow
The house looks really good great
Can you set the table just a seck
I'm just going to back him in this rug
Well fast way don't turn it on 我想你
Um has has sewever happened to you
Has your vacuum cleaner exploloit in your house
Well not a big explosion like this one not so dramatically and not so dramatically
But ah i've had this happened to me before yeah and acveverywhere is just it's a mess
You don't want to happen
You know this word vacuum yeah
Really very american clear yeah
Vacuum
Vacuum the rovacuuthe word yeah
Vacuum cleaner in the uk
What do they say whover huver yeah
Whover who were the rug
Who were the rug which is interesting
Because it's actually a brand yeah
So i guess it's kind of like american english
You say past me a clinics
Oh
That's true
That would be like a tissue yeah
So i guess they say who were the english or who were the house
And wow
You know i really love these small differences
Meaning that we have between american english and british english
He had it's fine okay
Well
Another interesting thing about this is ah so i guedo ing small the house work
I know he's a house husband yeah
So he's the one doing all the chores and the house
Yeah
That's well
That's the new trend
Now now it's more popular for men to stay home and take care of the babies and clean the house yeah
Like when i was growing up my dad would take out the garbage
And that was it my mom had to do everything else
But now i think it's becoming a lot more common
In especially in north america for the household chores to be divided betwtwen en mman and wiwife equally
Yeah think it's fair
And you too yeah
You make a good husband
Marco
