Phụ đề (716)
0:00Well, hello, and welcome
0:01to this English lesson
0:02about annoying situations.
0:05As you go through your day, as
0:07you go through your life, there
0:08are situations where things
0:10don't go smoothly, things don't
0:12go as planned, things don't go
0:15the way you are expecting them
0:20So in this lesson, I think I have
0:21about 22 annoying situations,
0:24and I've created every slide.
0:27So it has the English phrase we use
0:29when we talk about that situation.
0:31So things like when your power is
0:34out, your phone is dead, the
0:36wifi is bad, and when you get a
0:38soaker, and I'll explain that
0:40one in a little bit, later in
0:41the lesson so you understand
0:43where the origin of this lesson
0:46So welcome to this English lesson
0:48about annoying things.
0:52So this can be very, very
0:54annoying when you're trying
0:55to get something done.
0:57Very annoying situation.
0:59If the power went out right
1:03the live stream would start.
1:05So when your power is out, it
1:07means you have no electricity.
1:09You can't turn on the lights, you
1:11can't use, anything that, like
1:14your TV or your washing machine.
1:16You just have to wait until
1:17the power comes back on again.
1:20So, again, this is the phrase
1:24to talk about this situation.
1:25I'll phone my sister and I'll
1:27say, hey, your power out?
1:29Because our power is out.
1:31And she might say, no,
1:34It must just be at your place.
1:36So when your power is out,
1:39not a nice situation.
1:40It's difficult in winter climates
1:43when the power is out because
1:44your house gets colder every
1:46hour, the power is out, and you
1:48really hope it comes back on.
1:50So when your power is out,
1:52an annoying situation,
1:54your power comes back on.
1:55Very, very nice situation.
2:00So this is another, situation
2:03that inspired this lesson.
2:05This didn't happen to me,
2:07but it almost happened to me.
2:08When you're locked out, it means
2:11that you don't have your keys
2:13for your car or for your house,
2:16and they are most likely inside
2:19your car, your house, or they
2:21are in your car or in your
2:23I almost locked myself out
2:26of my car the other day.
2:30I thought I was locked out because
2:32I didn't have my keys on me.
2:34And all of a sudden, briefly, I
2:36thought, oh, no, am I locked out?
2:39in my car and lock my car?
2:41were just on my desk.
2:43So when you're locked out
2:46means you can't get into
2:48something because the Car or
2:50the house or the apartment is
2:51locked and your keys are
2:53inside or you simply don't
2:57One time my son was here and he
2:59wanted to come in the house to eat
3:01some lunch and my older son
3:03doesn't live with us and he wasn't
3:05able to get in because he was
3:07So not a fun situation when you
3:10are locked out of something.
3:14I did this as a kid too.
3:16I locked my, the, I locked
3:18the keys in my parents car.
3:20I got in trouble for that
3:21because I was playing around
3:22and I did it by accident.
3:25You're stuck in traffic.
3:26Never a nice thing to have.
3:28I never have this because I drive
3:31to work through the countryside.
3:33But I do know that some
3:36of my friends who drive to work
3:40are sometimes stuck in traffic.
3:42Some of my colleagues get stuck
3:44in traffic on their way to work.
3:46So when there is a traffic jam,
3:48when the cars on the road
3:51and it's stop and go traffic.
3:54I think I taught that
3:55phrase before as well.
3:56We would describe that as
3:58being stuck in traffic.
4:00So if I go to Toronto on a Friday
4:04at 5 o' clock, I will be stuck
4:06in traffic, guaranteed.
4:09Because so many people are
4:11on the road at that time, I
4:13would be stuck in traffic.
4:16Your alarm doesn't go
4:20So this is kind of two ways
4:22to describe the same situation.
4:24You can sleep in by choice
4:27but if your alarm doesn't go off
4:29or you sleep past your alarm,
4:31that's another way to describe it.
4:33Or you simply say you slept in.
4:35This would be something
4:36that would happen on a workday.
4:38But school day when you are
4:40supposed to be somewhere
4:42you could say sorry boss,
4:44I'm late for work, my alarm
4:46didn't go off, I slept in.
4:49Or I overslept by accident
4:52because my alarm didn't go off.
4:54So not a nice situation at all.
4:57But this does happen sometimes.
4:59This happened to me once
5:01on a Friday, when I had a live
5:04English lesson to do.
5:06I didn't have to go to work.
5:08So in my mind I didn't think
5:10I needed to set my alarm.
5:12So then in the morning my alarm
5:14didn't go off and I woke up.
5:16I think at that time it was
5:18quarter after seven and I ran
5:20downstairs, fired up my computer
5:22and I think it's one of the rare
5:24occasions where I started the
5:26live English lesson a little
5:29So my alarm didn't go off
5:31and I slept in a little bit.
5:35So when you're broke, it simply
5:37means you have no money.
5:40So maybe you get paid
5:43Maybe you get paid every other
5:45Friday and, the Thursday
5:49you have no money, you're broke.
5:51So if your friend called
5:52and said, hey, let's go out
5:54for dinner, you could say, hey, I
5:55don't get paid till tomorrow.
5:57I can't go out to eat with you.
6:00So when you're broke, it means you
6:03have no money, to do anything.
6:07By the way, if you look at the top
6:09here we have your alarm, meaning
6:12the alarm belongs to you and you.
6:15Here we have you're broke, which is
6:17the contraction of you are broke.
6:21So they sound the same like your
6:23alarm clock or your alarm
6:25doesn't go off, you're broke,
6:27but they mean different things.
6:28This simply means the alarm
6:30clock belongs to you.
6:31And this means that you are
6:33in the state of being,
6:37So just a quick explanation there.
6:39You're broke, you have no money.
6:41You can't afford to do fun things.
6:45You missed the bus, you missed
6:47the train, you missed the Amazon
6:50person delivering your package.
6:52When you miss something, it means
6:53you're going to be late probably.
6:58because they missed the bus.
6:59The bus came probably
7:02at the right time and the bus
7:04probably waited a little
7:05bit and then the bus left.
7:07So when you miss the bus, when
7:09you miss the train, when you
7:11miss the subway, it means that
7:13you wanted to be on the bus,
7:15you wanted to be on the train,
7:17but, it left before you could
7:20get there, so you missed the
7:25he might catch the bus.
7:27But, bus drivers, I think
7:28once they pull away, it's.
7:30They usually just keep driving.
7:31In my experience, you can't find
7:35your keys, you can't find your
7:36phone, you can't find your watch,
7:38you can't find your belt.
7:40That's the one I'm normally.
7:44I have this weird tradition of,
7:46I wear a belt to work
7:48and sometimes when I come home,
7:51take my belt off because
7:53just to relax a little bit.
7:55You don't judge my weight
7:57at this point in time.
7:59can't find something.
8:02I put my wedding ring on my
8:03computer when I come home.
8:06But some days I put it somewhere
8:09else and then the next day
8:10I can't find my wedding ring.
8:12So not a nice situation.
8:15Especially if you're late
8:16for work or late for school.
8:24Never a good time, never
8:28This is a pretty common one.
8:34I might need to text Jen later.
8:36I might need to look something up.
8:39I might get a text message
8:40from my boss saying, hey,
8:42can you sub a class today?
8:44So when your phone is dead,
8:46it's annoying, and it
8:49in your phone is at 1% or 0.
8:52Like if someone says, talk
8:54quickly, my phone is going dead.
8:58to someone and all of a sudden
8:59they're gone, it might be
9:01that their phone is dead.
9:02So when your phone is
9:04dead, you can see the little
9:07I think this person actually
9:08is charging their phone.
9:10But you wouldn't be able
9:11to use this phone yet.
9:13There's not enough battery power.
9:16We sometimes say juice.
9:18There's not enough juice
9:21You spilled coffee on your shirt.
9:23This hasn't happened to me.
9:26But as a dad, sometimes,
9:29if, when we had babies, they
9:31would burp or spit up.
9:34And so I always made sure
9:36in the morning I would have
9:38a baby cloth on my shoulder
9:40if I was carrying one
9:41of our kids around when they were
9:43really, really little.
9:44Because sometimes they would burp
9:46or they spit up a little bit
9:48and you would get, some baby food
9:50or something on your shoulder.
9:54I shouldn't say never.
9:55I don't really remember
9:56this ever happening to me.
9:58But I'm not someone who
9:59drinks a lot of coffee.
10:00But if you're wearing a white shirt
10:03and you spill coffee
10:04on your shirt, that is
10:05an annoying situation.
10:06Especially if you're at work
10:08because you would, need to figure
10:10out how to get a clean shirt.
10:11You can't walk around all day,
10:14put a tie on, but I think
10:16you would still see it.
10:17So spilling coffee or anything else
10:20on your shirt or pants,
10:22not a very nice thing.
10:25You forgot your wallet.
10:27So this is different than
10:28not being able to find
10:30your wallet or your keys.
10:32This means that you are
10:34driving and you don't have
10:36your wallet with you.
10:37You're at a store and you go
10:38to pay for something,
10:40you don't have your wallet.
10:41So you don't have money
10:45This happened to me once as
10:47I got pulled over by a police
10:49officer for speeding.
10:51And I said, I'm sorry, officer,
10:53I don't have my wallet with me.
10:55just gave me a warning.
10:57This was about 20 years ago.
10:59I was so thankful because he just
11:02said, could I see your driver's
11:03license and proof of insurance?
11:06And I said, I forgot my wallet.
11:08Just live 4km from here.
11:10You could follow me home
11:12And he was like, yeah, no worries.
11:13Just don't speed in the future.
11:17And so since that day,
11:18I have never, ever gone over
11:20the speed limit again.
11:23That's an example of me
11:25stretching the truth
11:27or exaggerating a little bit.
11:31at the beginning of the lesson.
11:33When you get a soaker in my part of
11:35the world, I'm not sure if this is
11:37the same in every English speaking
11:39part of the world, but where I
11:40live, if I said to someone, I got
11:43a soaker as I walked across the
11:45parking lot, it means I stepped in
11:48I stepped in a puddle
11:50and my feet are now wet.
11:53the important distinction.
11:55If you step in a puddle
11:57and the water doesn't get
11:58in your shoe, that's great.
12:00That's not a soaker.
12:01If you step in water
12:03and the water gets in your shoe or
12:05your boot, that is a soaker.
12:08Very, very frustrating
12:09and annoying situation.
12:12Especially if it's cold outside
12:15because as soon as your
12:16feet get wet when it's below zero,
12:21Like if it's minus one and there's
12:24still puddles, they're not quite
12:25frozen yet and you get a soaker,
12:27you need to change your socks
12:29and shoes almost right away.
12:31Otherwise your feet will
12:32get really cold and freeze.
12:35Your computer wants to update.
12:36This has happened to me a number
12:38of times in my life, where all
12:40of the sudden your computer says
12:42it needs to update and you have
12:44no choice or you turn your
12:45computer on and it's doing an
12:49I almost had this this morning.
12:51I had something similar.
12:53I rebooted this computer
12:55before the live stream and it
12:57wouldn't turn back on.
12:59It just started booting and it got
13:01to halfway and it just sat there.
13:03So I had breakfast and I came back
13:05and it still hadn't started.
13:07So I turned it off and, and said,
13:12I said I turned it off
13:14and I kind of was like, oh, I
13:15really hope this turns on.
13:16And then it turned on.
13:19But your computer doesn't update.
13:21Your computer does something
13:22that makes it un, makes,
13:24you unable to use it.
13:27People overstay their welcome.
13:29So when someone overstays
13:30their welcome means they stay
13:33longer than they said
13:35they were going to stay.
13:37So this can happen in one visit
13:39so maybe someone comes over
13:41and you think they're going
13:42to go home at around 11.
13:44Is this guy wearing.
13:45This is not me, by the way.
13:47I don't think my hair is
13:48that white, but that is.
13:50That's a nice blue shirt.
13:54This can happen in one visit
13:55where you think people are
13:57going to go home at 11.
13:59They end up staying till 1
14:01They overstayed their welcome.
14:03You might have house guests who
14:05say, hey, can we stay at your
14:07house for two or three days?
14:09And then they end up staying
14:10for five or six days.
14:12We would then say they have
14:13overstayed their welcome.
14:15Now it's important to note
14:17that this would mean that
14:19you want them to leave.
14:22If someone visited me and said they
14:24were going to stay for three days
14:26and they said, hey, I'm thinking
14:28of staying for five, and I
14:29would be like, that's great.
14:31That's not the situation.
14:32The situation is people come
14:35to visit, they say they're going
14:37to stay a certain amount
14:38of time, they stay longer,
14:39and the person they are
14:40visiting is annoyed by that.
14:44So people overstay their welcome
14:47or overstaying their welcome.
14:49Not a nice situation.
14:53to the Internet being down.
14:56When you are somewhere,
15:00For me, this happens when I'm
15:02at the grocery store.
15:04I guess it's not the WI fi,
15:06but my phone connection is bad.
15:08In our town, if I'm at the local
15:11grocery store, I can't text Jen.
15:13I have to do it in the parking lot
15:15before I go in the store.
15:17So again, that's not
15:19That's my, my cellular connection
15:22or my data connection.
15:26some days the wifi is bad.
15:28I think it's a lot better now.
15:30But, that can be frustrating
15:32for students and teachers
15:34when you need to connect
15:36to the Internet and you can't.
15:39This is the other slide related
15:41to why I am doing this lesson.
15:42This happened to me the other day.
15:45I think it's gone now.
15:47And it was in a similar spot
15:49where I got a paper cut.
15:50The worst injury a teacher can get
15:54besides the collarbone.
15:55But anyways, a paper
15:56cut you're using paper.
15:58Paper, believe it or not,
15:59is actually quite sharp
16:02And so you can get a cut
16:04from a piece of paper.
16:06And it usually happens when
16:08you're using like the
16:09photocopier or making a whole
16:11bunch of copies of something
16:13and then all of a Sudden the
16:14paper hits your hand and you
16:18They aren't deep cuts,
16:20only hurt for a little bit.
16:22Although if it's on your knuckle
16:24and then you keep using your
16:26finger, it can really be annoying.
16:28The that situation can be
16:30annoying for a whole day
16:32when you get a paper.
16:36None of these situations are fun.
16:39They're all annoying.
16:40That's the whole point
16:41of doing a lesson about
16:42annoying situations.
16:46Not sure if you use a pen
16:50I still, in my regular
16:54the ink cartridges here.
16:56The one says, green test.
17:01Let me make this bigger.
17:02I think that's what it says.
17:03But the ink ran out,
17:08So when you say in English,
17:11when you're writing something
17:12and the ink is now gone
17:15or dry, you say, my pen ran
17:17out or the ink ran out.
17:18Both would be equally effective.
17:21So, these aren't pens, though.
17:23These are the cartridges
17:25that go inside of a pen.
17:27And you can see the green one is
17:29there's still some ink in there,
17:30but maybe the tip has simply dried
17:33out and it's not usable anymore.
17:36You can't remember your password.
17:38This has actually happened to me.
17:40You type in your password.
17:42You type it in again.
17:44You go to reset it, and then
17:45it asks you for your old
17:46password and your new one.
17:48Or ask you for your new password
17:49and says, oh, it can't
17:50be the same as the old one.
17:52So, yes, sometimes you
17:55forget your password.
18:00happen this past summer.
18:02I needed a password for an Apple
18:04account and the email
18:07I used to create the account
18:09wasn't the email I use now.
18:13to get that password reset.
18:16But yes, when you can't
18:18remember your password, that
18:19is an annoying situation.
18:22You hit all the lights red.
18:23I don't know if you've ever
18:24driven through a city
18:26and every single stoplight is red
18:29as you go through the city.
18:31This happens to me when I go to
18:33the hospital where they do X rays.
18:35I have to go to another city,
18:38to hit all the lights red.
18:40In English, when someone says you
18:42hit all the lights red, it simply
18:44means that, they're not green.
18:47By the way, this is what
18:48a stoplight, looks like
18:50in most parts of Canada
18:52and the United States.
18:53In some places they're sideways,
18:55but generally red is stop.
18:59like the middle one.
18:59And then green is go.
19:01But yes, when you hit
19:02all the lights, red.
19:04Not an enjoyable situation.
19:08You burn your toast.
19:09So I'm planning on, I actually
19:13have an idea for this that
19:14I'm going to do next week.
19:15But I'm kind of curious
19:17which one of these prefer
19:20when you make toast.
19:23For me, it's somewhere in this row.
19:28Somewhere in this row.
19:30Some people like their
19:32I don't think very many people
19:34like their toast like this.
19:35But which one of these,
19:37the very last one here I
19:39would consider burnt.
19:40So you put toast in the toaster.
19:42Maybe it pops up and it's not dark
19:44enough, so you put it down again.
19:46Then the next time it pops
19:49this one here on the end.
19:50It's all charred and black.
19:52So, yes, you burn your toast.
19:55Definitely an annoying
19:56situation, at least for me.
19:58And then because I don't like
20:00to waste money, So sometimes
20:02I eat the toast burnt.
20:04And then also if I'm late
20:06for work and toast is part of my
20:08breakfast, sometimes, that
20:10would not be a nice situation.
20:11So you burn your toast,
20:13your order is wrong.
20:15So when you go to a restaurant
20:17and you order food, sometimes
20:19they get the order wrong.
20:21Sometimes you order a Junior
20:25without tomato and you get
20:27one that only has tomato.
20:28And I think the tomato has some,
20:32something, some minced onion
20:34or something like that.
20:35But yes, you order something
20:37and your order is wrong.
20:39And then you need to complain, need
20:41to mention that to the server,
20:45or the person, behind the counter.
20:47You say, hey, my order was wrong.
20:49I ordered three hamburgers.
20:51cheeseburgers or whatever.
20:52The problem is you drink
20:56sour milk or you eat something
21:02This, one is not very nice.
21:07Sometimes I will have a cup
21:08of decaf coffee, and sometimes
21:11the cream is sour, and when you
21:13pour it in your coffee, you can
21:15see little curdles in the coffee.
21:17That's not very nice,
21:21If the milk in our house
21:23has been in the fridge
21:24for a few days, sometimes we
21:26will smell the milk to make sure
21:28the milk is still good.
21:30Because it's not very enjoyable
21:32to drink sour milk at all.
21:36Someone else gets a promotion
21:38at work instead of you.
21:40This has happened to a couple of
21:42friends of mine where they have
21:43a job, and there is a
21:46possibility at the job to move
21:48up, to be instead of a worker,
21:50to be a manager or to be in
21:54And sometimes someone
21:55else gets the promotion.
21:59for the position, they thought
22:01they were qualified, and then
22:03Very, very disappointing
22:05when someone else at work gets
22:07a promotion instead of, you, This
22:10would really, really frustrate
22:12me if this happened to me.
22:13I don't apply for promotions,
22:16a principal or a superintendent
22:18or a department head.
22:19I am not interested.
22:21But if I did and I applied
22:23and someone else got it, I would
22:25be very, very frustrated.
