Hello. Hey, how are you doing? Good, good. I'm glad to hear it. How's school been en? Have you been practicing your your Chinese New year ar's songs? And I've been also reading the books for my reading competition. It's super scary. One of the books I'm reading now is called scary stories for Young foxes. And it's super scary, honestly. Yeah, it's horrificit's not very horrible because it's also like one of the stories is about a Young fox called mia. And no, like before I first tell you about the narrator, like the narrator telling the story to the people, like, for example, their this, the stories are being told to Young foxes. And then a nostoryteller says, these these stories are scary. Which of you can say the longest? Then you will be brave enough to to stay on your own and be adult. But if you're a coward, you may never grow up, which means you you may be too scared to never leave your mom. And then one of the three, about a Young focalled, mia, and then she and her siblings went to a fox teacher called miss vicx. And then miss vicx is super nice. But that day, suddenly, she turned very strange. She had gooey eyes and some yellow smelly things on her. Suddenly she says, run. And then they don't know why. And then she says, run again. And then they wouldn't run. Run where? Miss vicx and then she says, just run and then suddenly miss vicx turns crazy and then she bites them and like like a predator. Wow. Oh my God, she's been bitten by a rabbit, dog or something. Yeah the yellow stench is like scary ant. Yeah how do I done this? But we have done this before. We're actually, we're going to go a little bit further into work. But but let's start on by recapping a few of the words that have cropped up in recent classes. So starting off with window pane. What is pain e to the window frame? It's not actually the frame. It's the sheets of glass, the pain. So pain is A, I don't think you really use pain outside of the context of windows. Perhaps you do how it used that way. Generally, it's with window and it's just a sheet of glass, a window window pane, which is the glass of dart. Yeah, it's the glass. Daris, the poison, dark froalso, is the darts they put on their arrows, and then they use it to shoot the animals. I know it now because absolutely. I watthe video about it. The dark thing comes from a poisonous tree. It's sap. How poison? And then the people boil it and make it into poison and put it on the the arrow, and then like, blow it out. And then the the dart. Yes, absolutely. So the dart is the arrow really good. So that be guts are you remember what guts are? I've got so I got to it's just it's a kind of drainage system. It's a way of. Collecting and draining water. You can have gutters that run along the side of house. They like sewer, like seyeah. It's kind of like sewer, but it's more it's more the the actual, the means by which the water gets drained. So it sometimes gutters will run along the size of houses. These would be gutters. You see the sort of piping I know that runs along the edge I got of a roof. But you can also hurt. You could have a gutter, a street gutter. Is Yeah it would would refer to something like that. You know and again, it's so that water doesn't flood the streets. It's going to go into the gutter and down into the sewers. The sewers are more kind of beneath the gutter. I think the gutare is we are those round ones of lids. We also have that in the side of the road, but sometimes in the middle of roads there's the round cap like a middle round thing and then it's the sewer. Yeah. So that and that might not be a gutter because it's if it's a round cap, then there's no water going down into it, you know what I mean? But if it's a grated kind of, you know we also have gutter anymore. Yeah. But the ones I mean is like remember, Yeah good. My. What that means, no. The horse got stuck in the mia, not a bit. I forgot. Mayyer is just kind of it's like just swampy waterlocked land, kind of muddy, swampy land. Maya, some photos of Maya. You know this sort of terrain. So there might be you know balls of water, but it's it's because the whole land anywhere, what is terrain? Swamps and water? Loterrain just means land. Oh, but why does my one of my like classmates in the class, he's like super annoying. He always says, six, seven. He always says, like terrain, terrain, pull off. And I don't know what that means. Terrain, terrain, pull up. When does he say this? Always. Terrain, terrain pull up. I don't know if he's saying terrain bow or what he means. If he saying terrain, I'm not sure about that, but terrain. It really just means territory or land, an area of land. Physical features at a piece of land, slow spoil. So Yeah, it's more the characteristics that doesn't more a stretch of land, especially with regards to its physical features. You can have rough terrain, flat terrain, bumpy terrain, but so Yeah, it's land that you use it when you're describing a landfeatures aches or characteristics. Oh. So swampy terrain is land which is like a swamp you know with lots of water at first. I guess what he says has something about airplanes or stuff like that because he likes those things. I don't know now Yeah, maybe maybe he's quoting like a flight simulator thing. What was it? Terrain, terrain pull up. What did he say? And he always says, okay, he that mean? Yeah, I think you're absolutely right. I think he he obviously plays some flight simulator game and it's because the plane's going down and and Oh Yeah, he loves plane crashing and nuclear bombs and whatever from I can tell. So the saying pull it's pull the plane up. If the planes going down into the land, it's pull the plane up so that you don't crash into the land. That's what it means. And he always liked nuclear bombs or and when the teacher says, we're gonna learn about ocean pollution tomorrow, and then he's like, Oh, pollution. And I'm like, what's so fun about pollution? It's sad. A wedge can you remember a wedge is. Can you put is it like watch not really underneath the door to stop it? I know, I know, like you put something, if you don't want to door to close, you put something and then you put it there. But but my door do not need that because it has something like let me show you. I can have this stuff. I don't know how to show you, can I? How can I turn the camera upside down? No. Look, when the door slams it just literally like. It's got a Yeah and that is. No, and it will like. There's something that magnet or something like that. Yeah, I don't know what it is. I don't know. Yeah, Yeah, those are great. Those tools unslammable very good. Yeah. So wedand, it's quite an open word, actually. It's a, it's a, it's a flexible word. It really describes the shape, the shape of something which is thick on one side and kind of thin on the other. But this, this kind of shape, I've not drawn that very well, but you get the gist of it. So you can actually have like potato wedges. Nujust means a potato in the shape of a wedge, thick on one side, thin on the other. Potato wedge, sure, you've eaten these before. It's just the shape of the potato, kind of like a chip. But rather than being cuboid, like rectangular, they're sort of curvy. They're thick on one side, thin on the other, either to wedges. Yeah. So wedge wedge really just means that kind of a shape. You can stick a wedge underneath the door, wooden wedge. You need a potato wedge. There are Weges involved in kind of like diy construction stuff. It's just a shake. What is a gutter? Something like a sewer Yeah a drainage, enough water absolutely not quite a sewer. Sewer I think is is really more to do with where you know all of the excrement from a toilet goes. Gugut is more to do with water. That's the difference. Gois for collecting water, I know, but sewers in the middle of the road. And my mom tells me to careful not to step on it so I don't fall in. She says, sometimes if on rainy days, the sewer will kind of accidentally open and I'll fall in. Your mum needs to write one of these scary novels. So no, it's like he said, it's real. All right, let's do a few more. Can you remember what a bandage is? Bandage, it is the thing when you are hurt, you put it on it. Good. It's absolutely the kind of White dressing. It's over an injury or a cuts. Absolutely right. Foolfoolhardy means. Someone that's always drive and stats car. Oh, I know someone was very naughty. Kind it's kind of naughty. I mean, fool. Fool is in the word fool. We've got stupid. You know, it's if you're a fool, you're acting in a way that's not particularly well thought out. And foolhardy means kind of brave, recklessly brave, brave in a way that's not, not not positive. Yeah, exactly. It's kind of stupid. So can you think of an example of what foolhardy behavior would be? My brother is a very example, very great example of foolhardy. Okay, what does your brother do that's foolhardy? He's really naughty and Oh, he's outside the door now, actually, but at least he's fine and he can't know English that well. Yeah. And so if we think of a thing that he might do which is foolhardy, you could say my foolhardy brother or my brother shashattered a glass on the floor example. Yeah my harfoolhardy brother tried to balance the glass on his nose on his hit is hard, Yeah. On it off and brointo a million pieces into a pieces. That's foolhard. You've tried to do something which is kind of brave, kind of courageous, but you lack the skill or you've not given it enough thoughts beforehand for it to be, I suppose you could. The thing is, you could, I suppose, do be foolhardy and succeed in doing the thing that you shouldn't have tried to do. It's it's more just that it's not something that you should really do. You lack the skill or the wisdom or the knowledge to be to be trying this thing. Let's move on. Can you remember what a helm is? Just kind of well. 第一题，你怎么去看？小游去了吗？妈妈要了吗？So the cs Oh, we're just talking about my brother and now he's looking at tv with my mom not knowing. So the captain steered the helm of the ship away as. You know. So veying just means kind of observing. The. We'll see ahead. Do it. Help. Is helm something of a boat? Yeah, it does have to do with a boat. Steering the helm is said, no, that's the cell. I thought the cell was the helm. Look at the is this the bottom part? Like steer to the hdo you what would you steer? I mean, you could of course, steer the boat, meaning a good but if he's got his hands on something and he's going like that, Oh, stuyou, can I use the drawing tool? Yeah of wait, I don't have it now. Okay, thank you. Like the. My drawing is so ugly. That's it. Yeah, absolutely. And homes, Helms of boats tend to have quite a specific look to them. You know, it's that kind of povibe. I know that's what I always think of, you know, this is a hell. Bad thing, though. Kind of old wooden spindles. Yeah, good. What else have we got? What is a list? They read the sentence for his own thinking, so the girl had such a strong. Less than I thought. She asked me if I had the time ficjob. Kind of. Okay, I'm just going I'm going to make it. I thought she said, that when she was actually saying cat, Oh, sasorry. I know. Doesn't it mean like. For example, you're from for example, someone is from Indian and they have some Indian lips. I think what you're talking about Oh, I know. No, no, no, no, no, I know, I know, I know. It's not like that's more in acent what you just described. Yeah, I know. Elibeth is like some people that can't prounn something exactly. It's that and it's it's specifically for example, the are some some people can pronounce the R and theysay rainbow and abbit a rainbow or wbit. Yeah and that's I think that's something else. What do you call people? It can't say does it have it? I don't know if it has a specific name roticism. So that's slightly different lispis with sibilant sounds with s's especially and often that someone with a lisounds like that. So all of the s's become so can you again, can you try talking ping to me in the list? Okay, this is me talking with this. Can you read the sentence? The the girl had such a strong list that I thought she did sat, when due with that to saying, sat, that would be a list. Have you met someone that talks like that? No, at our school. No. Well, they're out there. It's, it does exist. That's a but Yeah, you're right. Another speech impediment is roticism. I didn't know that, which is the rbecome wyeah a rainbow. A rainbow inbow. Can you remember what clot? The clock lot means, Oh, I know, I know. Suppose your blood won't go out. Your blood won't go out that much like because the blood will like, the blood will like become solid. Exactly. So plotting is that Oh, but my mom said my mom said like when I was watching something about snakes or something, and it it says one, then my mom said, like. The, it was like one kind of snake. His poison is super poison, like it can make you, because when we bleed up, it would clot, right, and make us not bleed so much. But the snake have poison that makes our blood keep bleeding, keep bleeding, and they will never stop. Oh wow, I didn't until we got interesting. Very interesting. Yeah, that's really scary, snake. Really scary, right? And some people have a condition, again, I forget what it's called, but it's a condition where by day their blood doesn't clot. And so they have to take drugs. Would they die to? Well, Yeah, they they would they would they would bleed out faster. Yeah if they were seriously caught. Yeah, they had to take drugs. Well, I mean, drugs like pharmaceutical drugs. You know, drugs can mean medicine. Oh, I thought you said the other kind of drugs. No, no, not recreational drugs. But Yeah, so that's that's clot. It's just it doesn't have to be blood, by the way, you know, clotted cream is cream. That's I don't know how you make clotted cream. I suppose it's whipped up, but it's it's cream that was liquid and it's and it's kind of become more solid. But you know through it being treated in a certain way, it's a liquid becoming solid. Clolotted cream how you make clotted cream or you want to see what clolotted cream is? Yeah that's like a thing that you have on desseryou can see. It's a it's a much thicker kind of mold like butter. It's it's cream, but I make it very hard. Yeah it's it's it's something it's got a kind of yogurty texture. I would say it's definitely not solid, but it's more solid than than you know just regular single or double croam a little bit like slime. It's not really like slime. No, wouldn't I wouldn't say it's it's slimy. How do you make what is. Good question. Okay. Yeah it's you have to cook it. You heat Yeah you heat full fat milk, allow it to cool slowly as the cream rises to the top. You've got lots. So it becomes solid. It's it's a liquid becoming solid without freezing it. Obviously that's the other way that you can make a liquid become a solid is you can freeze, but that's something different. This is not got nothing to do with temperature. It's just a liquid becoming solid either through a chemical reaction of some sort, it's heat it up. To mint you said this have nothing to do with. This has nothing to do with what? Temperature plotting has nothing to do with temperature, though. No? I mean, okay, hang on. Does in the in the case of clotted cream, you're right, you heat, you heat milk up ps, so pots. So that's right. I mean, it's got nothing to do with cooling something down. If you freeze water it becomes ice that's not clotting. That's freezing, okay. So clotting is when liquid becomes a solid through some other means, either through heating it up or through a chemical reaction or something like you to menis. To mend. Meant something? Yeah. We just repeated the word back, but what just to menme? Yeah, well done. Absolutely it does. What does fohardy mean? Someone brave and stupid, brave and stupid, love it. What is a helell? I know the steering wheel, steering wheel on a boat. Absolutely. What is Maya? Just give me a clue. Yep, so our garden I had. After the storm. Our back garden had become. Asorgen Maya. So admire the the thing in the jungle that it's like a swamp. Yeah, it's definitely you wouldn't in a jungle you would call it a swamp. I think Maya, it's I don't know what the difference is between like. Would you have Maya in a forest? And let's look up the actual geographical attrtionarea of wet, swampy ground, fog, marsh. I mean, there's nothing to say that it couldn't be in a jungle, but I do think it would be called a swamp in a jungle. Myers and not, you know, you have Myers in England. It's it's you can search. You can search. What's the difference between Meyer and and. Yeah, I mean, I suppose there is a that looks like foresty. Yeah, maybe you can have a mind. What's the difference train? Mayand. Actually you're not meant to say a mayit's, just a maythe form of vegetation. So swamps, which are dominated by trees, and Mayers, which are wetlands that have accumulated yet. So that's kind of what I suspected. So swamp is more in a forest or in a jungle. Jungle that's a or a rain forest. And Maya is more just open land. You know. So this is bog and Maya you can see here. It's like open land. It's like a field, but it's wet. It's not exactly a lake, but it's wet water. Erloland, you know you, I think I know that. Walk through it. Yeah, no, I know the ones in the beach, you know. Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah early wet sand right right? So that is my what does. The other words that there. Does? What does the clot mean? To turn the liquid into solid without yes, without them. Absolutely right. And what is. This is someone who can't pronountheir s still when they pronounce their s they will say like. Yeah it's when esssays get pronounced as Yeah a list you would they wouldn't be able to. That's the tragic irony. People that have a list because they can't even say the list. They can't even name their own condition. Let's say I have a lift. Oh, then they can only say. When people ask them, why are you talking like that? What what can they say? I have A I have a lifts. I have a lift Yeah and people go, what's a yes exactly? And like it's just live. You could search on Google. You should you should search on Google. Can you remember what a pain is? A sheet of glass on a window? Yes, well done. Can you remember what a gutter is? Is it the poisonous thing you use? Know that start? Oh Yeah. Like the thing you find on roads to to make sure that when it rains, the street don't be flooded? Absolutely right. Very, very good. What about a? Wedge. A shaped like a triangle. Kind of is absolutely thick at one side, then on the other, three dimensional. Triangle is two dimensional. But Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. That is kind of triangle lar. He looks at it sideways. Triangle lar, what a new one, wits. Flowers they went, the comedian. Answered in these ways questions with. Characteristic that's bility. So typical wits. Once. So we're another on this one. It says it's something that I suppose British people like to pride themselves for. It's a kind of it's whipped up no, not that one intelligent sense of humor. Weit it's a it's a because it you you also there are lots of phrases in English which use that word that means something a little bit different if you say I'm you know I'm sure Hebe okay. Getting home getting home alone. He always has his wits about him. I don't know if you've heard that phrase before. To have one's wits about one, to to have your wits about you means you're aware and you're present to your surroundings. So it does. It's really got nothing to do with sense of humor when we use it like that. I or you know you could say, I managed to climb out of poverty using my bare width again, that's a slightly it's well, it's a very sorry. Wit in there means hand. No, wit in this sense means kind of intelligence, your your inventiveness in in getting out of a particular situation. And it kind of means that in the in the to have your wits about you again, means to be switched on, clever present to your surroundings. So it can kind of, I guess the common thread in both of those things is the cleverness the cleverness or the intelligence. But it can mean both things. It can mean simply that or also if someone's being witty or and they they. Yeah, go on. Is that a question, Gabby? Can I go to the bathroom? Yeah, of course you can. The bag. Okay, so I think we've done all of these. Let's skip on to, Oh, we didn't deal with it. Yeah, I don't think we have done these. So look at the first group of words. The words in the middle has been made from the other two words. So just to recap how you do this, again, you don't need to write these numbers. This is just to demonstrate the point. If you want to write the numbers, perfect to do whatever feels good. If we imagine that the middle word is numbered one, two, three, four, what I'm doing is I'm noting down where those letters come from. So I comes from there, n comes from there, t comes from here, and o comes from there. I'm then just sort of copying and pasting that pattern onto these two words. So one, two, three, four, and I write down the letters that I've got. It's soo soon, and you should, if you do it right, end up with a word that you recognize in the middle. Makes sense. Yes, great. So if we can do the first one. Can you use. Can use. Like, for example, three words free lectures and one word and one in the other. Yeah, Yeah, absolutely you can. Okay, then it's harder. Say Cheno, that's not a word. Is you no? Ji, only get this word. I only have this word now, which I think is the most thing that looks like a word in here. Wait, let me, you don't need to guess about what the world is. You just do it methodically. So you go, okay, the first letter in the middle, you go, here's our middle word. I know, where does the come go? Can it be like this? But hang on, Gabby, just listen because I don't think you've quite understood the exercise. So I look at the word in the middle. I go, what's the first letter? It' S B. Where does the b come from? In those two words, either side of bar. The b comes from there. Where does the a come from? The a comes from there. Where does the R come from? The R comes from there. Where does the k come from? The k comes from either there or there. So we have to account for both of those. What I do now is I just copy and paste that pattern. So it's four, three, one, two, four like that, and I can write those letters out. So first letter is R, second letter is e, third letter is a, and then the fourth letter is either a or l. And I look at which is the word there is real a word or is real a word? Real is a word. So real is the answer. Does that make sense? Yes. Moving into the next one. Phone post bond is bt a word? Is this a you're guessing, Gabby and you shouldn't be guessing right right out where where so where does the t come from in type I better won that. Where does the tea come from? From pity and peace. Where's the tea? Oh, this is too big. 喂，let me. Why don't we make it bigger? Actually, we can make this nicer to do these exercises blown up nice and large. Let's make it bigger. What? So where does the t come from to begin with? Pity and twthat's what we're looking at first one. Note that we're looking over here, we're looking at psy and peats. Where does the we should be on the left. Okay, he is from he is from here. Yep. So for the one above the yewhere, does the y come from goods and the p, he is from either here or here. Good. Yeah. Oh, sorry. Sure. That's all right. Above the Yeah good. And the e. Right. So we're just we're writing that onto these two words on the right onto bone and stir. So exactly the same three, one, two, three, four in the same positions. Just copying and pasting that pattern. 12. So just copy and paste it if you want. You can actually select them and copy and pathem like that, you know, newait, why can I erase nest? Good. Nest is absolutely right. Fantastic. Yeah, that me I hope you have that. How can I delete? Oh, Yeah, thank you. What? Okay, I think, Oh, I know how to do this. Let's put this to the problem. Yeah, thank you. Good, next one next one. Wait, let me write it. No one. 偶? One is on that side, which is f. 哎呀。Hey. You. Yep, that's one option I think possible. Oh, I know, I know. You have to. You have other options. I know. Yeah, let me try again. There you get it, foul and that is the word, you know, it's gross or disgusting. Good. You. Three. Four. B. Two. Please, over there. 不。Felt like that bead is a word, but it's felt bea D B ad, sorry. So something might have gone wrong here. That's is a word. Nice. That works fantastic. Many bed, his beds absolutely. On five. You. This one is the easy one. Oh. Girl, Oh, Yeah. Look, well done. Absolutely right. And that is a word that excellent. Okay, so on to the next. Let's do a few of these. We've done these before. You've got insert a three letter words, complete the incomplete word. Remember that the three letter word that you're inserting can come at the beginning, it can come in the middle, can kind of be wedged into the middle of the word or it can come at the end of the word. So quite difficult, please. Was this H O. Well so this the way that this one works is you think I like something on my toast. Okay, so it's going to be something like jam or butter that neither of those have an H and a wine. So you're thinking, what has an H and a wine that you might have on toast? Honey, I like honey on my toast. And you can see there there's one and then you one. So that's how these questions work. I know this one good. The weather absolutely right. Just be careful of how do you spell weather? Oh W. H E A W A Yeah. Tr, that's how you spell weather. So look at that and see is the is it the which we want to put into weather? Or is it something else? We have to put a. We've got the W, we've got the H, we've got the e, we've got the R. So what's the three letter, right? You see, we've got this, we've got this, we've got this, we've got this. Will we missing? 年哎呀。E at heats. You see that? Yeah, good eats three letter word. Absolutely good. All right, let's wrap it up there. Very nice work. So we're on question nine. Of the bond ten to eleven, that's the one paper three vr. Just make a note of that. So forget that and have a wonderful rest of your Wednesday and I'll see you tomorrow. Take care, Gabby. Bye bye.
