How are 32 00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:43.879 you doing today? I hope you're doing fine. So this 33 00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:47.359 one is called Funny English Errors Corrected and following on 34 00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:51.719 from the acclaimed Funny English Signs series from a few 35 00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:56.040 months ago, here is Funny English Errors, in which we 36 00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:59.799 will look at some yes, you guessed it, funny English 37 00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:03.480 air from around the world. We'll consider what mistake has 38 00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:07.239 been made in each case, what makes it so funny meaning, 39 00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:11.960 what the kind of unintended meaning is, and I'll correct 40 00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:14.719 them all to make sure that you definitely learn some 41 00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:17.639 English from this, because that is the whole idea of 42 00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:20.719 this podcast. Of course, by the way, I don't mean 43 00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:24.520 to mock people's errors in English. I want to make 44 00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:27.960 that point. I don't mean to just mock people's mistakes 45 00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:31.719 in English. As an English teacher, I generally don't mock 46 00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:35.400 my student's English mistakes. I think it's really important to 47 00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:39.280 make sure my learners of English don't feel judged or ridiculed. 48 00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:43.560 Of course, but sometimes people just come out with some 49 00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:47.000 really funny things and it's okay for us all to 50 00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:50.439 laugh about it together. And I do consider myself to 51 00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:54.080 be a language learner too, French in my case, and 52 00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:57.439 I make all sorts of stupid errors as well, and 53 00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:00.840 I don't mind laughing at my mistakes. I think that 54 00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:04.680 when learning a language, it's important to be able to 55 00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:07.879 laugh at yourself when you get something wrong, because you 56 00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:10.960 will get things wrong a lot, and it's not the 57 00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:13.400 end of the world. It's just a mistake and you 58 00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:16.879 can learn from it. We all make mistakes when learning languages, 59 00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:19.599 and I suppose we can choose how we react to 60 00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:23.080 those mistakes. We can either feel mortified and never speak 61 00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:25.400 the language ever again, or we could just kind of 62 00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:28.759 laugh it off, learn from it, and move on and 63 00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:32.280 make progress. Now, I speak French as a second language, 64 00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:35.000 and I make stupid mistakes all the time, for example, 65 00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:39.240 pronouncing the word the phrase in French, which means a lot. 66 00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:41.560 For example, if you say thank you very much in English, 67 00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:46.000 in French, you say mercy bokou, and I, for some 68 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:50.280 reason can't quite pronounce the coup part of that, and 69 00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:54.080 I always end up saying something that sounds like mercy bokou, 70 00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:59.080 which actually means thank you, nice bum. So I'm really 71 00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:01.280 self conscious about those moments when I have to say 72 00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:03.879 thank you very much, and I'm sure I keep saying 73 00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:08.919 thank you nice bum. Also my inability to pronounce the 74 00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:14.199 word for water, such an important word and a word 75 00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:16.279 I have to use a lot in restaurants and things. 76 00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:20.560 But it's just a difficult vowel sound for me to pronounce. 77 00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:27.000 Ooh uh dulau mboute do. I mean, it's pretty disastrous. 78 00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:31.160 People often don't understand what I'm saying, they go huh 79 00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:34.040 like that, and so I just order beer instead. It's 80 00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:38.160 generally easier just to drink beer all the time. Also, 81 00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:42.399 my inability to remember masculine or feminine nouns in French 82 00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:46.800 and using the correct article, is it uh or un 83 00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:49.639 which is a really common mistake that people make when 84 00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:53.199 they're speaking French. For example, I have to remember arpano 85 00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:57.160 chakola un ghatto. Is it pano un panosh un ghatto 86 00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:02.000 chacola or basically I just order to instead. It's easier. 87 00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:06.839 Is it unbier It's no, it is unbier un pant 88 00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:13.399 but under me so unbier right, because beer is feminine 89 00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:17.120 un punt because a pint is feminine. But it's uh 90 00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:20.600 de me that's half, that's masculine. So even though it's 91 00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:24.040 half a pint of beer, and both pint and beer 92 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:27.560 are both feminine words, the word for half is a 93 00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:30.160 masculine word. So it's so, I just order a pint 94 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:34.399 every time. It's again, it's just much easier. As a teacher, 95 00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:38.240 my students make mistakes sometimes, even after I've worked hard 96 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:42.839 to perfect their English. Here are some examples from student 97 00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:45.600 feedback forms at the end of a course at school 98 00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:47.480 I used to work in So. I used to work 99 00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:49.480 at this school in London. We have students. We had 100 00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:51.680 students from around the world coming at the end of 101 00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:54.240 their course. We would give them a feedback form with 102 00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:57.199 various questions in it. One of the questions was what 103 00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:59.439 do we do best at the school? What do we 104 00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:03.560 do best? And the answer was melting students from different countries? 105 00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:09.240 Melting students from different countries. I'm sure what the person 106 00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:13.480 meant was mixing students from different countries, But melting students 107 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:16.319 sounds like, I mean, if you melt something like you 108 00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:18.360 would melt an ice cream, if you put it in 109 00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:23.879 the oven, it would melt. Yeah, So melting students sounds 110 00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:26.480 like we, you know, put the students in an oven 111 00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:32.040 and make them turn into liquid. It should be mixing students, 112 00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:34.920 meaning making them come together and socialize with each other. 113 00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:40.160 In which area has your English improved most? And the 114 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:44.040 ideas you know in your speaking, in your vocabulary, range, 115 00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:46.639 in your grammar, in your pronunciation, in your writing. In 116 00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:51.360 which area has your English improved most? The answer High Street, Kensington, 117 00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:57.920 which was an area of London near the school. Apparently 118 00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:00.959 this is the area where this student their English most. 119 00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:05.800 Misunderstanding the question, but anyway, let's look at some English 120 00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:09.600 errors from around the world, including English speaking countries I 121 00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:14.399 believe like the USA, and will consider why they're funny 122 00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.079 and then offer some corrections so that we can all 123 00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:21.199 learn from these unintentionally hilarious mistakes. So as you read 124 00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:24.720 these or hear me describe them, can you decide how 125 00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:27.199 they should be corrected? So what is the error and 126 00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:30.600 how would you correct it? Okay? I got a lot 127 00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:33.959 of these from a website called dmilked dot com and 128 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:36.120 also readit dot com, where you can find a lot 129 00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:38.680 of these sorts of things. So the first one is 130 00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:43.360 a sign in a public place I assume, next to 131 00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:46.800 a bottle of hand sanitizer for cleaning your hands. This 132 00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:50.000 would be from the days of COVID nineteen, when, of 133 00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:53.199 course we had to keep our hands clean and regularly, 134 00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:58.399 regularly clean our hands, sanitize our hands, and it says, 135 00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:04.600 please satanize your hand hands here, Hm, please satanize your 136 00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:08.480 hands here. Of course it should be please sanitize your 137 00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:12.079 hands here. But I'm interested in the idea of satanizing 138 00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:14.720 your hands. What does this mean? I suppose this means 139 00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:19.319 doing something evil with your hands, or doing something sinful 140 00:08:19.839 --> 00:08:24.399 with your hands, something you shouldn't be doing with your hands. Yes, 141 00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:27.519 just make sure that you satanize your hands before you 142 00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:29.519 do it. I will let you decide what that is. 143 00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:32.440 But yeah, you would have to satanize your hands first, 144 00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:34.919 and then of course make sure you sanitize your hands 145 00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:37.720 when you finish doing it, of course, and you might 146 00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:41.759 need holy water to clean it off after you've satanized 147 00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:46.320 your hands. But yes, sanitize is the correct word there, 148 00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:52.120 of course, So sanitize your hands, use hand sanitizer. The 149 00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:55.320 next one is what looks like a sign in the 150 00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:58.679 window of a shop, and it says closed for revolution, 151 00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:04.759 open soon, closed for revolution, open soon, yeah, open soon 152 00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:10.200 under new management after the revolution. So a revolution is 153 00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:15.679 something much more profound than just what you would do 154 00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:17.919 in a shop, you know, while it was closed. The 155 00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:22.559 right word here is renovation. Closed for renovation, that would 156 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:28.039 mean maybe redecorating the shop, making changes, fixing things in 157 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:30.399 the shop so that when it's open again it all 158 00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:34.000 looks new. It's all been repainted and redesigned, it's been renovated. 159 00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:38.440 So closed for renovation, but closed for revolution sounds so 160 00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:40.559 much more serious and profound, Like you think of a 161 00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:44.120 social revolution, you know, like what happened in France in 162 00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:48.440 the eighteenth you know, the late eighteenth century with the revolution. 163 00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:54.200 That means, you know, people rising up and releasing prisoners 164 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:58.879 from the jails, and taking the aristocratic people and chopping 165 00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:03.879 their heads off, and a total dramatic shift in the 166 00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:07.879 social order. This is a revolution, of course. And yeah, 167 00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:10.440 I suppose if there was a revolution happening in your city, 168 00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:13.240 you might need to close your shop in the meantime, 169 00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:17.200 closed for revolution, open soon either that or there was 170 00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:21.200 some drastic change of management of the shop. But no, 171 00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:26.480 it should be closed for renovation, not revolution. Right now, 172 00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:29.600 as we go through this, there will be bits of vocab. 173 00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:34.600 As you've noticed, right, we've had sanitize, we've had hand sanitizer, 174 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.440 we've had renovation to renovate. Pay attention because later on 175 00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:42.720 in the episode we'll review the vocab and I'll see 176 00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:46.080 how many of these little bits of vocabulary you can remember. 177 00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:48.840 Let's carry on now that This next one is a 178 00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:52.480 little kind of story. This is a meme in fact, 179 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:55.240 which does go around the Internet sometimes, and it's a 180 00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:59.840 story of what happened when Prime Minister Japanese Prime Minister 181 00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:07.480 your Shiro Maury met Barack Obama. Okay, apparently this happened 182 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:11.279 in two thousand and eight. So here's the story. Prime 183 00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:16.759 Minister Maury was given some basic English conversation training before 184 00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:22.080 he visited Washington to meet President Barack Obama. The instructor 185 00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:26.240 told Prime Minister Maury, when you shake hands with President Obama, 186 00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:30.759 please ask how are you. Then mister Obama should say 187 00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:36.879 I am fine, and you now you should say me too. Afterwards, 188 00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:40.679 we the translators will do the work for you. It 189 00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:44.519 looked quite simple, but the truth is when Maury met Obama, 190 00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:48.320 he mistakenly said who are you instead of how are you? 191 00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:52.279 Mister Obama was a bit shocked but still managed to 192 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:56.759 react with humor. Well, I'm Michelle's husband, ha ha, he said. 193 00:11:57.399 --> 00:12:00.759 Then Maury replied me too, ha ha. Then there was 194 00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:05.240 a long silence in the meeting room. Right, So instead 195 00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:07.639 of saying how are you, I'm fine, me too, it 196 00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:11.320 was who you? Well, I'm Michelle's husband. Oh me too, 197 00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:16.200 ha ha. Okay, funny little story, but apparently it's not 198 00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:19.320 actually true. I did some research into this and the 199 00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:22.399 story is fake news. It's just one of those kind 200 00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:26.919 of I guess, a kind of like an urban myth 201 00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:30.840 or something, or just a joke which has been exaggerated 202 00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:35.320 or taken out of context. You can read the article 203 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:37.559 about how this is in fact not true and it's 204 00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:40.279 based on other things, like the fact that Maury wasn't 205 00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:43.799 even Prime Minister when Obama was president. There's a major 206 00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:48.399 aspect of this, but there's another story that goes round 207 00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:52.200 about Maury as well, when he met President Clinton is 208 00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:56.840 basically the same thing. So it's unfortunately not true. And 209 00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:59.480 I'll let you read the article on snopes dot com 210 00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:03.159 if you want to find out the details. Let's move 211 00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:06.120 on the next one. Looks like it's in an airport 212 00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:10.360 somewhere in India, and it's a sign that basically says 213 00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:21.559 eating carpet strictly prohibited. Eating carpet strictly prohibited. Of course, well, 214 00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:26.480 how would you correct that. I've translated the Indian language 215 00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:30.360 part of the sign, and it should be eating on 216 00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:35.720 the carpet strictly prohibited. So this is presumably for those 217 00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:40.320 people who perhaps sit down and eat their lunch or 218 00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:43.600 something while waiting for their plane, while sitting on the floor, 219 00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:47.200 eating on the carpet, which you could imagine might lead 220 00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:50.000 to the carpet being stained or something. So it should 221 00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:54.320 be eating on carpet or eating on the carpet strictly prohibited. 222 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:59.080 But eating carpet strictly prohibited tells an entirely different story. 223 00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:02.159 That does suggest that some people, for whatever reason, have 224 00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:04.559 been eating the carpet, and you know, you really shouldn't 225 00:14:04.559 --> 00:14:06.240 be doing that. I mean, and you can see the 226 00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:10.720 carpet in the picture. It looks very dirty. So I 227 00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:14.720 would not advise eating any carpet, especially that one, which 228 00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:17.799 presumably is why the sign has been put up in 229 00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:20.159 the first place. But of course it's wrong. This should 230 00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:22.960 be Eating on the carpet or eating on the floor 231 00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:30.399 is strictly prohibited. Sometimes prepositions are important, For example, the 232 00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:35.000 difference between peeing in the pool and peeing into the pool. 233 00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:39.200 That's obviously a very important distinction, don't you think, Or 234 00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:42.039 in this case, eating on the carpet and simply eating 235 00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:47.639 the carpet itself. Don't underestimate the importance of prepositions. The 236 00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:50.120 next one is in what looks like a car park. 237 00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:53.240 I don't know where in the world this is, but 238 00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:57.240 the sign in English says, please pay your parking fee 239 00:14:57.360 --> 00:15:03.919 before existing. Please pay your parking feed before existing, So 240 00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:07.679 even before you exist, even before you're born, you have 241 00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:10.120 to pay your parking fee for this for this car park, 242 00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:13.320 which seems a little bit unfair, doesn't it. I mean, 243 00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:17.919 asking me to pay my fee before I enter the 244 00:15:17.960 --> 00:15:21.840 car park seems unfair in itself, right if you even 245 00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:23.600 before you go in, if you have to pay before 246 00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:26.639 you use the service, that would seem a bit unfair. 247 00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:29.200 But asking me to pay before I've even been born, 248 00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:34.200 before I've even existed, that's just ridiculous. Please pay your 249 00:15:34.200 --> 00:15:38.360 parking fee before existing. Of course it should be what 250 00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:41.879 it should be. Please pay your parking feed before exiting. 251 00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:46.840 Right exit e x I T can be a verb 252 00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:50.360 to exit the car park. Please pay your parking fee 253 00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:56.240 before exit, before exiting not existing, yes, so I should 254 00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:03.440 just point out the vocab there it's egg exitting versus existing. 255 00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:06.360 There is a difference, of course in the pronunciation as well. 256 00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:14.159 Right exiting The first syllable is stressed exit and existing existing. 257 00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:19.519 The second syllable is stressed there. Let's move on to 258 00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:23.039 the next one. This is from a menu I don't 259 00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:26.519 know where, and here are the items on the menu. 260 00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:31.720 So number one hot wings, Number two honey wings presumably 261 00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:35.240 like chicken wings glazed in a honey sauce. Number three 262 00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:40.480 French fries, Number four cheese nane I think, Number five 263 00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:47.720 caizure salad. What a caizure salad. No thanks, So this 264 00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:55.200 of course should be a Caesar salad, Caesar like Emperor Caesar, right, 265 00:16:56.120 --> 00:17:01.679 Caesar salad, which of course is salad. Of of what's 266 00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:07.680 in a Caesar salad. It's parmesan cheese, leaves of lettuce, 267 00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:15.079 and croutons which are like kind of crunchy cubes of bread, 268 00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:21.759 and a certain Caesar dressing or sauce. That's a Caesar salad. 269 00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:27.640 But this is a seizure salad. Okay, Caesar salad. Correct, 270 00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:31.920 seizure salad spelt s E I Z you are e. 271 00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:35.359 Now this is this is not a salad that I 272 00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:39.880 would recommend, because a seizure is a kind of sudden 273 00:17:39.960 --> 00:17:44.240 health condition. If you have a seizure, it means you're 274 00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:50.200 you suddenly experience quite what can be quite a severe 275 00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:54.960 health condition, and it comes on very quickly, and it's 276 00:17:54.960 --> 00:17:58.759 where your your muscles start to shake and you can't 277 00:17:58.759 --> 00:18:02.039 control them, so your arms and legs might move around 278 00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:05.119 and you might fall onto the floor. It can be 279 00:18:05.240 --> 00:18:09.039 very dangerous. That's a seizure. To have a seizure. Also, 280 00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:13.000 a heart seizure is essentially another word for a heart attack. 281 00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:18.160 So I wouldn't recommend the seizure salad at all. A 282 00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:21.640 synonym for a seizure is a fit, to have a fit, 283 00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:25.799 for example, to have an epileptic fit. So the seizure 284 00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:29.480 salad is not very appealing, as you can imagine, right, 285 00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:39.119 So that's that vocab for this. We have a seizure 286 00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:43.279 and a fit. I think those are probably the words 287 00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:46.079 to include in the vocab list for that. So of 288 00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:49.960 course it should be a caesar salad, not a seizure salad. 289 00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:53.720 I think I'll just skip that and I'll just go 290 00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:57.160 for the French fries please, thank you very much. Moving 291 00:18:57.160 --> 00:18:59.720 on to the next one is a picture of a supermarket. 292 00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:04.240 I think it's in China, but it doesn't really matter 293 00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:10.200 where it is. And on the sign, so in Chinese 294 00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:13.599 I think it says fresh fruit, fresh food supermarket. But 295 00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:16.079 then written in English on the sign it says very 296 00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:23.319 suspicious supermarket. M very suspicious supermarket. Something just doesn't seem 297 00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:25.799 right about this supermarket. I just don't know what it is. 298 00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:29.519 But oh, I don't think I'll go in there. No, why, Well, 299 00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:34.759 it says very suspicious supermarket. How could a supermarket be suspicious? Like, 300 00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:38.160 I'm not sure about that supermarket? Why have you seen 301 00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:41.400 all these dodgy people going in and out carrying all 302 00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:46.640 of this fresh fruit and vegetables. Seems very suspicious to me. 303 00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:50.759 Something just doesn't seem right about it. So what do 304 00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:54.039 you think could be the word that they were looking for? 305 00:19:54.200 --> 00:20:01.839 Not suspicious, maybe specialist. Maybe a specialist supermarket one where 306 00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:06.119 you can find certain specific ingredients. That would be a 307 00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:09.039 specialist supermarket. But I have no idea how they've ended 308 00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:13.000 up calling it a suspicious supermarket. If something is suspicious, 309 00:20:13.079 --> 00:20:16.640 it means that it looks like something wrong is happening. 310 00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:20.319 It looks like maybe something dishonest is going on. Like 311 00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:23.359 you know, a suspicious man would be like a man 312 00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:27.440 wearing a long overcoat and a hat and glasses, standing 313 00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:32.720 outside the bank and maybe taking photos and generally looking 314 00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:36.319 over his shoulder, and then looking inside the bank, taking 315 00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:39.319 a few more photographs, maybe calling on his phone, and 316 00:20:39.319 --> 00:20:41.240 then hanging around looking around a bit more, and then 317 00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:45.880 going away. Right. That would be a very suspicious person, 318 00:20:46.279 --> 00:20:50.839 acting very suspiciously. Right. And then he turns up in 319 00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:53.359 his car, which is like a big van with the 320 00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:56.359 windows all blacked out, and he opens up the back 321 00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:00.279 of the van and he's got a big bag which 322 00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:02.039 seems to be very heavy, and he slings it over 323 00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:04.799 his shoulder and he goes into the bank. Very suspicious 324 00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:09.160 person with his suspicious car and a suspicious bag. What's 325 00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:13.400 he doing? A very suspicious man? Maybe he works at 326 00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:18.319 the very suspicious supermarket. Who knows, I'm sure they meant 327 00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:27.079 specialist supermarket, you'd imagine, so suspicious is the vocab there? Okay? 328 00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:32.559 Have you ever seen anyone being suspicious in your area? 329 00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:38.440 The other day I left my building. I left my 330 00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:43.559 home pushing my son to the daycare center in his pram, 331 00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:46.519 and as I came out into the street, there was 332 00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:50.559 a man standing there with his phone out, clearly either 333 00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:56.039 taking either taking photographs or video footage of my building, 334 00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:01.599 just blatantly in the street, apparently videoing my building. And 335 00:22:01.759 --> 00:22:06.119 as I walked past him, he carried on videoing. I 336 00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:08.200 walked past him and went down the street, and over 337 00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:10.960 my shoulder I could see he'd now started videoing the 338 00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:16.200 street where I was walking. Who's this suspicious character? And 339 00:22:16.279 --> 00:22:18.880 of course, you know, I'm I don't know, maybe a 340 00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:22.240 little paranoid or I'm a bit overcautious of these things. 341 00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:24.119 I was thinking, who is this person? And why are 342 00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:29.240 they videoing me? Apparently, and my building never heard or 343 00:22:29.400 --> 00:22:33.400 saw this person ever again, so who knows what's going 344 00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:36.920 on there? As if I'm not already on the internet enough, 345 00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:40.759 someone had to come and actually video me, I'm probably 346 00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:49.559 being paranoid, but who knows. Very suspicious. Next is a 347 00:22:50.480 --> 00:22:54.920 what looks like a warning label for I think some 348 00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:59.920 sort of laser. Right, it's covered in all these warnings 349 00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:04.440 like avoid direct eye contact, do not use on material 350 00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:08.519 that reflects the light, turn off the power when it's 351 00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:10.279 not in use. And then there's one in the middle 352 00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:14.240 that says keep it away from incompetent people such as 353 00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:19.400 children or pregnant women. Yeah, don't let children or pregnant 354 00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:23.680 women do anything they're incompetent. They'd probably break it or 355 00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:28.720 hurt someone. Incompetent people such as children or pregnant women. 356 00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:32.119 So it's the use of the word incompetent. If you've 357 00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:35.519 described someone as incompetent, you're basically saying that they have 358 00:23:35.599 --> 00:23:38.480 no skills, they're rubbish at what they do. They're just 359 00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:41.480 completely incompetent, like someone at work. If you had someone 360 00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:43.559 at work who was incompetent, you wouldn't really want to 361 00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:46.279 give them an any jobs to do, because they probably 362 00:23:46.279 --> 00:23:49.880 get it wrong. Someone who's incompetent, it's a very it's 363 00:23:49.880 --> 00:23:53.160 a very negative sounding word. It's not a rude word, 364 00:23:54.200 --> 00:23:57.720 but it does basically say that someone is just useless, 365 00:23:59.240 --> 00:24:02.759 no skills at all, and just fails at everything they do. 366 00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:08.319 So suggesting that pregnant women are incompetent doesn't sound right. 367 00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:12.279 It just doesn't at all. So, yeah, apparently this is 368 00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:14.400 a laser and it looks quite dangerous. But it would 369 00:24:14.440 --> 00:24:18.720 be better to say vulnerable people, I suppose, or at 370 00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:25.119 risk people, rather than incompetent people, because incompetent suggests that 371 00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:27.640 these people have no skills or abilities and that they're 372 00:24:27.640 --> 00:24:33.039 basically rubbish at doing things. So, yes, don't give this 373 00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:36.400 laser to a pregnant woman. They're rubbish at everything. It's 374 00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:41.960 the hormones, you know. Yeah, No, that just seems really 375 00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:46.279 really inappropriate to say that. So it's not incompetent, but 376 00:24:46.359 --> 00:24:49.200 I would say probably vulnerable. I mean, I don't know 377 00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:52.920 what the thinking is here. Why can't pregnant women operate 378 00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:58.000 this laser? Maybe it's because they're vulnerable, right, That's often 379 00:24:58.039 --> 00:25:00.920 the way that we consider pregnant women be because obviously, 380 00:25:02.359 --> 00:25:04.319 you know, if a pregnant woman has a shock, or 381 00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:06.279 if she gets sick, or if she has an accident, 382 00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:11.000 it can be very dangerous. Like that, they're more susceptible 383 00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:14.839 or vulnerable to these sorts of risks because it can 384 00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:17.839 harm the baby during the pregnancy, and it could end 385 00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:20.920 up in a miscarriage or some other health related issue 386 00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:24.759 relating to the pregnancy. So they are vulnerable. If someone's vulnerable, 387 00:25:24.839 --> 00:25:29.440 it means they are perhaps at risk of accidents or 388 00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:34.799 other health issues. Right, they need to be protected or 389 00:25:34.839 --> 00:25:41.079 maybe you know, pregnant women need to be taken care 390 00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:45.519 of more carefully and shouldn't be exposed to things like 391 00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:50.000 a laser. Right, same thing for children, right women in 392 00:25:50.160 --> 00:25:53.720 pregnant women and children. Fine, these perhaps are more vulnerable 393 00:25:53.720 --> 00:25:56.799 people in society or at risk people. Well, you know, 394 00:25:56.839 --> 00:26:00.240 again we also think of a COVID nineteen situation. People 395 00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:03.799 who were at risk would be people with underlying health 396 00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:10.559 conditions who should be more carefully taken care of. So 397 00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:15.160 do not give this to vulnerable people such as children 398 00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:18.000 or pregnant women. Might have been a better choice in 399 00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:23.400 that particular case. Okay, let's move on. So again, remember vocab. 400 00:26:24.039 --> 00:26:27.359 I'm going to kind of give you a little vocabulary 401 00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:29.599
