[Assistant] By applying the right amount of ptat to it and adding the right amount of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Proportional to the negative. So do you have something that has a negative temperature coefficient? And you have something? Simplest way to think about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This voltage will have a positive temperature coefficient. This voltage has a negative temperature coefficient.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are lots of much more sophisticated things that you can do on top of this. And there are people who make a living out of making these things very, very precise and insensitive to these parameters. Now,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because we have some design parameters that we want to make independent of those, right? You don't want your circuit to depend, to behave differently when it's cold or hot. When the battery is fully charged or when the battery is empty. From one chip to the next one. You want them to all behave the same way. Now,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what if I wanted to make some, we wanted to make something, let's say a simple differential amplifier. Let's say you have a simple differential amplifier. And let's say it's a bipolar differential amplifier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is the gain? What is the differential gain of this thing? We've calculated this before, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In terms of the parameters. So, gm is i tail divided by 2, right? i tail divided by 2 divided by vt times rc. So that is our gain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in fact, if I want to keep the gain constant, I don't want a constant current source. What do we want?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Proportional to temperature and inversely proportional to resistor, right? Do we have such a thing? Have we already created one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And make a current source that way. Now this can be MOSFET or bipolar or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, is this correct? By the way, what I did is correct, or is it completely bonkers?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's wrong, because this is forcing the current into the gate of this thing. I need a reference branch here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now it works. So now this current is proportional to the temperature, and gm is inversely proportional to temperature, so they cancel each other out. Also, my gain is really dictated by the ratio of this resistor to this resistor, which is that resistor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now, we've defined a gain that's defined as a ratio of these two resistors. So you ideally want these two resistors to be of the same kind or different kinds, if you want to get low temperature dependence. Same kind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because now you have two resistors whose ratios determine the temperature dependence, I mean the gain, and if they have the same temperature dependence, the temperature dependence to first order cancel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's fine. We will build upon this. We'll kind of work on these things and we'll build up on these things and make it more, we will reuse these concepts. And we revisit them as we go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tire Town School. Episode 31. No breaks!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll slow down this time, he thought.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eddie rolled slowly to the garage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eddie roared his engine. He started to drive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well hello and welcome to this English lesson about household items. So household items I'm going to start in the bathroom. The bathroom is actually the room


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where there were the most items that I had not talked about yet. So I will talk about the item.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I will talk about kind of how we use it. So this is a toilet brush.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] or a toilet bowl brush you use this to clean the toilet


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is not my favorite job. I do not enjoy cleaning the toilets, uh, but it's a job that needs to be done usually once a week. We clean the house and we usually clean the bathroom. One of the jobs that needs to be done when you clean the bathroom is that you need to clean the toilet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, as you know, there are seven people living in my house. The toilet, I guess the best English word would be the toilet is sometimes disgusting. That's probably the best word to describe it. And so what you do is you get what's called toilet bowl cleaner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it's kind of this blue cleaning product and you put it in the toilet, uhm, and you just let it sit for a little while, usually a minute or two, sometimes 15 minutes, and then you get the toilet brush or the toilet bowl brush, it kind of has two names, uhm, and you go and you scrub the toilet until it is completely clean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so that is a toilet bowl brush. I thought I would put that one first because that was the first item I thought about when I thought about household items.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the next item you might find in a bathroom is a plunger. So a plunger has a unique job in the world. Sometimes when you flush the toilet, the toilet is plugged.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, sometimes when you flush the toilet, it doesn't go down. So if you're familiar with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, this process, it's not fun. It's also kind of disgusting. Uhm, but then you need to use a plunger. So you put the plunger in the toilet and you plunge the toilet. That's how we would describe it. In order to unclog or unplug the toilet. So let me back up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could say the toilet's clogged. You could say the toilet's plugged. I think clogged might be more common. I'm just gonna ask Brent from American English with this guy just to mention in the chat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brent, do you say the toilet is plugged or the toilet is clogged when you need to use a plunger?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think clogged is the, probably the more popular word, but anyways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, sometimes toilets don't work right and you need to use a plunger in order to make sure they work correctly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Usually in a bathroom, and I think I did talk about this one, there is usually a bathroom scale. I don't step on the bathroom scale right now because I think it lies. Do you know what a lie is?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lie is when you don't tell the truth. So, I don't trust our bathroom scale. I think it's, I think it's not telling the truth when I step on it. Uhm, but you will definitely in a bathroom often find a bathroom scale.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, let me go, oh I see Rod VIP IDP is in the chat as well. Hi Rod, hope you're doing well today. Uh, and hello to Aniko Bureau in the chat as well. Uh, so awesome to have you guys here. Uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In our bathroom, we usually keep a mop. Uhm, people might keep this in different places in their home. Uhm, but a mop is something that you use to mop the floor. Oh, just let me go back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you, uh, step on a bathroom scale, we say that you are weighing yourself or you say, I'm going to weigh myself. So if I wanted to know how much I weighed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry, what was the, oh yeaah, I talked about plunger. So we have a mop. You use a mop to mop the floor. A mop is different than a broom. A mop is something that you put into


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it's a dry process, but when you mop a floor, you are definitely using cleaning solution, uh, or soap and water to mop the floor. Uhm, we mop our floors, uhm, usually about once a week as well. Uhm, and we don't mop the rooms where there is carpet. Which reminds me, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't put the word vacuum cleaner in the, in the lesson. I should have done that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's see here. Uhm, yes, so when you are using a mop, you also have a bucket or pail. It's interchangeable, which word you use. Uhm, we call it a bucket, we call it a pail. You can use either word and it's totally legitimate. It's totally fine to use either word. Uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me see here. Uhm, the other thing is you'll notice that this bucket has a special spot where you can ring out the mop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you have something wet and when you wring it out and with this, uh, pail you can put the mop in and you can kind of push.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it, and it makes some of the water come out of the mop before you use it. So if you have a towel and it's really wet, you can twist the towel so water comes out and we say that you're wringing out the towel when you use a mop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I see that Q Park in the chat says I just mopped the floor. Very cool. Uhm, when you use a mop, sometimes you want to wring out some of the water when you're using it. So that's what this pail would be used for. Uhm, not every pail


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That we have is the pail we use with the mop. We have other pails for other things. If I was going to clean the windows, I would grab a pail from the bathroom and I would fill it with soapy water and I would go and clean the windows as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just had a little tickle in my throat. Hopefully the audio is all working still. I thought it would be nice if I muted myself while I coughed a little bit. Uh, in our bathroom we have an iron.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the iron is what you use to iron your clothes. Uhm, so this is a challenging word for people who are learning English. Okay, so it's iron. So I am going to plug in the iron so that the iron is hot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, if I say the word iron one more time, I'm going to start saying it wrong myself. Anyways, when you use an iron, you need an ironing board. So in our bathroom as well, we have an ironing board. This is something that folds up


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we kind of store it beside the sink in our one bathroom, uh, and you use an ironing board when you need to iron some clothes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In our bathroom, we also have a bath mat. Some people might call it a shower mat, but a bath mat is a small, soft piece of carpet that you step on when you get out of the bathtub or when you get out of the shower. Okay. Um, it's usually something that, um, it's like a towel, but thicker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, because they like standing on something soft while they're brushing their teeth or washing their hands or putting on makeup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So a bath mat, simply something you step on when you get out of the tub. Hey, I did want to mention that this ironing board folds up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when we need to use it, we unfold it or we set it up. So we grab the ironing board and we set it up or we unfold it. When we're done, we fold it up and we put it back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, bathrooms have what's called a towel rack. Uhm, a towel rack is where you hang your towel. Uhm, so after you have a shower, your towel will be wet and you want your towel to be dry. So you will hang your towel up on a towel rack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unless my children are going to be angry at me for this. Unless you're one of my children. Then you just throw your wet towel on the floor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And somehow hope it will dry and then one of the parents will find it later and say, why didn't you hang up your towel? So a towel rack is where you hang your towel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We also have what's called a drying rack. There are many ways to dry your clothes after you wash them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In our house, we use what are called drying racks. So when we do a load of laundry, we will hang it on a drying rack and then we will usually set it outside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We also used to have a clothesline. A clothesline is where you hang your clothes outside to dry. Uhm, but we found using the drying racks more convenient. Uhm, mostly because when the laundry is done,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three or four people can hang the laundry on a drying rack really quickly. So we usually do laundry that way where the kids actually hang the laundry on the drying rack. And then we just stick it outside if it's a nice day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or we'll actually dry our clothes inside in the winter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Canadian homes in the winter, the air is really dry because we heat our homes. So you can easily dry your clothes inside in the winter. So, drying rack. This one also we fold up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like in the spring and fall, if we can't put clothes outside because it's raining, we will dry them inside. Let's see here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brent says, you mean the towel doesn't go on the floor when you're finished with it? I'll inform my children. So Brent, uh, American English with this guy has the same problem as me. Uhm, sometimes that's how children do things. Uhm, we have in our bathroom a nightlight. A nightlight is a small light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not a bright light. It's very very dim. It's a small light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From your bedroom to the bathroom, at least there's a little bit of light in the bathroom and you don't need to turn the main light on if you need to use the washroom or the bathroom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, let's see here. Uhm, sorry, I'm still laughing about, uh, Brent's comment. Christopher says, says, can you...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you dry clothes without using sunlight? Yeah, sometimes we dry them inside, Christopher, for sure. Uhm, most bathrooms will have a hamper. A hamper is where you also might throw your towel if you're done with it, if it's going to be washed. Uhm, but it's generally where you throw your dirty clothes. Okay, so when you go to take a shower,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You take your clothes off. Generally if you have a hamper in the bathroom, you will probably throw your clothes in the hamper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some people keep a hamper in their bedroom and then instead they'll just have a shower, they'll take their dirty clothes with them from the bathroom, throw them in the hamper in their bedroom. So a hamper is just a place where you keep clothes until you do the laundry or until you wash them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and then also in our bathroom we have a wastebasket or garbage can or the bathroom garbage. You'll find in English we often refer to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, garbage cans and trash cans simply as the garbage. Like you throw it in the garbage. Did you throw that in the garbage? Where's the, uhm, where's the small


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where's the rest of the toothpaste? Oh, I threw it in the garbage. Okay, so we call it, the nice word is wastebasket, but you will often hear in English people simply refer to a garbage can or trash can or wastebasket as the garbage. Let's talk about the kitchen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the kitchen. Uhm, again, I'm not going to talk about appliances. So I'm not going to talk about toasters and ovens. Uh, I think I did that in another video. So I basically just walked through my house and I looked for things that I hadn't talked about yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so one of the things we have in the kitchen is we have a dish brush that we use to wash our dishes. And then when we wash and rinse our dishes, when you rinse the dishes, you get the soap, soapy water off the dish. We put it into a dish rack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clean dishes when they drip, the water goes in the sink.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We actually dry our dishes with what we call a tea towel or dishcloth or dish towel. So we wash our dishes. When we do the dishes, we wash them, we rinse them, we put them in the dish rack, and then usually one of the kids dries them. Usually Jen or myself do the actual dishes. It's actually Jen more than me. I have to be honest here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and then one of the kids or me will dry the dishes and then put them back in the cupboard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We talked about brooms a little bit. So sometimes English learners get confused because when you have a mop, you use it to mop the floor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when you have a broom, you use it to sweep the floor. So you don't ever broom a floor. That doesn't ex- don't say that. I don't like to say things that are wrong and I just said that out loud. When you have a broom, you use the broom to sweep the floor. So if you have a floor that's not carpet,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So linoleum or tile, uh, or something like that, you will often, uh, sweep the floor using a broom and you will most likely use a dust pan to pick up everything that you have swept together. So generally when I sweep the floor, I sweep everything into a pile.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not really a pile, it's more like a little collection of dust and dirt. And then I sweep it into the dustpan, and then I usually throw it into, uh, we actually throw it into the compost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, because everything that comes off the floor is compostable. So, you would have a dustpan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wanna stop and say hi to the 534 people who are here. Uh, welcome to this lesson. Uh, hope you're having a good time. Uhm, I just wanna mention if you're new here, don't forget there is a subscribe button right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but this is something you use when you are cooking or baking. Let's say you are baking bread and the recipe says put it into an oven at a certain temperature for 25 minutes. You would then set the timer to 25 minutes. When the timer gets to zero, the timer will go off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it will beep. So again, let me repeat. You set a timer. So if you need to set a timer, you push the buttons. You set the timer. The timer counts down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A kitchen timer or timer also will go off, which simply means it starts beeping, usually push a button so it stops, uh, and then whatever you are cooking or baking, you would take off of the oven or out of, sorry, off of the stove or out of the oven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in Canada, there are three ways to get rid of waste in our kitchens and in our homes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In our kitchen, because we have a large kitchen, we have a recycle bin. Uhm, this is for paper and plastic and glass. Okay? So we do not throw paper or plastic or glass in the garbage. All paper, plastic and glass goes in the recycle bin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And once per week we take the recycling to the road.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We put it out at the road and then a large truck comes and picks up the recycling. Uhm, so we recycle paper, plastic, glass. I think that's everything we recycle as much as we possibly can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We also have a garbage can or a trash can. Uhm, but again, we often just refer to this as the garbage. We throw things in the garbage. We take out the garbage. We put the garbage at the road.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The garbage truck comes. Uh, I know in some US states they use the word trash more than garbage. Um, but in our kitchen, uh, we definitely have a garbage can. But just so you know, we hardly throw anything in the garbage. Almost


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, notice I call it a recycle bin and a recycling bin. You can probably use both. Uhm, where's the recycle bin? Where's the recycling bin? Yes, we use both. I think recycling bin is the correct word.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We also just call it a blue box here because in Canada, all recycling bins are blue boxes, uh, garbage. And then we also have compost. We have a compost bin in our kitchen. Compost is any.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Food that goes bad, that is not good to eat, we don't throw it in the garbage. So if we have meat that has gone bad, or vegetables or fruit that has gone bad, we put it in the compost bin. If we have a small amount of leftovers,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes you put leftover food after a meal in a tin and it ends up in the back of the fridge and you forget about it. We would throw that in the compost bin. So anything that can decay


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anything that is made from something organic, so any kind of food that we do not


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, eat because it's gone bad or for other reasons goes in the compost bin. So again, three ways to get rid of waste. We use the recycle bin a lot. We use the compost bin quite a bit. We use the garbage can as little as possible. In fact, I think we only have half a bag of garbage per week from seven people. And that's it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me check where I am here. In our kitchen, we have a fire extinguisher. Uh, extinguisher is a great word to practice using all of the muscles in your mouth to make English sounds. So, it's a fire extinguisher. You use a fire extinguisher in case there is a fire


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry, you have a fire extinguisher in case there is a fire. So we definitely have a fire extinguisher in our kitchen. Uhm, we've never had to use it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but we definitely have a fire extinguisher just in case or in case of fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So those two phrases are fairly common. We have a fire extinguisher just in case there's a fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You might have something burn on the stove because you forgot about it. So you have a fire extinguisher. Um, and then, oh, lastly, our kitchen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's not a whole lot of other things to talk about, but I do have about 20 more slides. So you'll see here, I've just kind of gone around. Our living room actually does not have a lot of things in it. So it does obviously have furniture and it has a television.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We generally have a lot of items or household items in our bathrooms and kitchens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the living room is usually quite clean, okay? We like to keep it clean. There might be a book or something, but there are a few things I wanted to talk about. We usually have a fan in our living room. So even though we have, uh, air conditioning,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We do have a fan. This particular fan is called an oscillating fan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a hard word for you. It's a fan that goes like this. It oscillates. So it's an oscillating fan. Uhm, so oscillating fans are nice because they kind of go and they blow air in all directions. So we have a fan in our living room. Uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I've talked about houseplants in every video where I talk about a house, but I wanted to talk in specific, specifically about hanging plants. Sometimes we might call this a hanging basket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me go, yes. We have what are called coasters. I'm not using one right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Coasters are just little round pieces of wood or plastic. Uhm, you usually keep them on your coffee table in your living room and then if you have people over who have a cup of tea or coffee or juice or water, they will put the cup on a coaster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just a good way to, uh, keep your table clean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And not to have stains form on it, especially if you have coffee and a little bit of coffee runs down the side. If you, if it's on a coaster, it doesn't wreck your table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, uh, I just wanna say hi to the 584 people who are watching. I'm always shocked by how many people watch these lessons. Uhm, if you're new here, don't forget to click the subscribe button and a thumbs up is always welcome as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so that was it. That was the living room. And you might wonder what about coffee table? What about couches? What about reclining chairs? Well, we did talk about all that in a previous lesson. So if you want to watch the lesson on, I think I did one on rooms and furniture and I did one on interior decorating. Those would be quite helpful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so let's talk about the hallway or entrance way of a house. There are some things that I wanted to mention about that as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's see here. Hey, I see Natalia illusion is in the chat. Hi, Natalia. It'll be fun uh to talk to you later today. Rodrigo and Natalia are both here, both winners of the lessons with Bob competition. So, it's good to see you in the chat, Natalia and I look forward to talking to you later today. Um let's see here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Usually we have a mirror by the front door. Uhm, we have a mirror by the front door because we want to make sure before we leave the house that our hair looks good


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you wanna make sure there's nothing in your teeth. You know, when you eat food, uhm, usually before I leave the house, I will brush my teeth. Uhm, but sometimes you're just running out quick and you wanna make sure there isn't any food in your teeth and you wanna make sure you look good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, or maybe you just want to be reminded how old you are by looking in the mirror. One of the two. Sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, there's also usually a key rack. We don't have a key rack. I wish we had a key rack by our front door or in our entrance way. That would be really handy. Uhm, I think that might be something I might build later this summer. Just a small key rack where we can hang our keys. Uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry, I'm getting a little distracted here. Uhm, we also have a lint roller.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oscar is not a house dog, okay? Oscar primarily lives outside and he lives in the garage. He has a little bed in the garage. That's where Oscar lives. But he is allowed in the entrance way and one little part of our hallway and kitchen in the house. So we have a little bit of dog hair in our house. Is normal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll notice that you have a little bit of lint. Lint is small little balls of fabric on your clothes. Uhm, if you don't know what lint is, check your pocket. Your pocket probably has lint in it. It's like soft small pieces of fabric that naturally form on clothes. Uhm, but you also


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you have a pet might get dog hair or cat hair on you and you might want to use a lint roller. A lint roller is very sticky and you roll it on your clothes and it picks up all of the, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dog hair, uh, or cat hair. Yes, Christopher, there was a giveaway in June where people could win free English lessons. So sorry you missed it. Uhm, but, uh, I might do another one next year. We'll see. I'm not sure yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our entranceway hallway has a thermostat. This is where we set the temperature for our house. Uhm, so, Rodrigo says, looking at mirrors is so cruel. It is very cruel. Uhm, so a thermostat is something on the wall that you use to set the temperature in your house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and then let's look at a few miscellaneous items. So these are just a few other items that you will see a few other things. Not exactly household items, but they weren't furniture and they weren't things you hung on the wall. So I did think I should talk about them. By the way, miscellaneous means


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something that's not in any specific category, okay? Fun word to spell. I always spell it wrong, but miscellaneous is how you say it. So we're gonna talk about some miscellaneous items. You could also say some random household items.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the electricity was off. I do not understand how I survived. Oh, all the electricity switched off. Oh, I'm glad you did not get electrocuted. That would have been awful. Uhm, yes, I will be careful. Uhm, there co- there are coat hangers in every closet in our house. A coat hanger can be made out of plastic or metal or wood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry, I'm getting a little distracted by something over there. I'll stop. I have my second screen over there and I keep looking at my slides to see how far I am. Let's keep going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You might find some workout equipment in various places in a home. So workout equipment is, would be things like weights. Some people actually have an exercise bike or a treadmill in their house.

[Assistant] We actually have some workout equipment in our, uh, garage. So we have a few weights in our garage because my wife Jen and myself and Lucas, my oldest son, sometimes we just like to lift a few weights to stay in shape. So you will find workout equipment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, something else we have in our garage is a ladder or a stepladder. Uhm, so often when you need to climb up somewhere, you would use a ladder. If I needed to change a light bulb, I would go and get the stepladder. A stepladder is a ladder that opens like this. Actually, that picture is a stepladder. A ladder is something you just lean against the wall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I use it as a step. You're not supposed to stand on the very top of a stepladder, but uh, I will admit that sometimes I do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanted to talk about something called a garage fridge or a beer fridge or a second fridge. And I'm curious whether Brent from American English with this guy has one of these. We have a second fridge. It's fairly common in Canada to have two fridges. You have a fridge in the house and you have another fridge in the garage, especially


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you have children, uhm, because sometimes things will be on sale at the grocery store and it's nice to buy extra and then it's nice to have two fridges. Uhm, some people call it a beer fridge. Some men in particular in North America have a second fridge in their garage where they keep their beer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See you Brent, uh, glad you enjoyed it. Um, so we would call this a second fridge, a garage fridge or a beer fridge. We have a fridge in our garage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no beer in it. I think there might be one beer in it. Uhm, there's mostly food because we buy food in large quantities. Brett, before he goes, says, I have a beer fridge in the garage. Yes, very common to have a second fridge. Uhm, and again, it's not because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's usually a screwdriver somewhere in the house. This screwdriver has multiple attachments. We have one just like this. It's yellow. Uhm, and it's just nice to have a screwdriver in case you need to fix something around the house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every level of a home in North America has a smoke detector and most likely a carbon monoxide detector. It is the law in my part of Canada. Our basement, our main floor, and our second story all have smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. We are required to have that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and then lastly, usually somewhere in the house, there's a flashlight and if the power goes out and it's nighttime, it's really hard to find the flashlight. So we try to keep our flashlight somewhere where it's easy to find, but it isn't always easy to find. Uh, sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't worry, Charlie Brown. It's only love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, I guess I really was talking about myself, so what you were saying was probably true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Six was the wrong answer. I had to say three. Hmm. You don't like me, do you Chuck?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't even understand what it is I don't understand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have a problem? Well, you've come to the right place. Well, that's very comforting. I have deep feelings of depression. What can I do about this? Snap out of it. Five cents, please. I think maybe I need another suggestion. Okay, here's my suggestion, Charlie Brown. Have you ever tried whistling? Whistling?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yours is a problem of self-esteem. You need to feel good about yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A beanbag is a perfect place to sulk. You can sink way down deep and sulk for hours. You only have to stick your head up once in a while to see if anybody cares.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sulking is spoiled when you can't get comfortable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi Chuck, it's me again. Uh, your books are pretty dumb. I still can't sleep, so I, uh, I've had a lot on my mind lately. I like to talk to you, because you're always a good listener.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess I lie awake and worry about too many things, huh? Maybe all I need is a kind word. Do you have a kind word for me, Chuck?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As soon as school is out, they ship us off to some stupid camp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the whole idea of creatures of superior intelligence trying to contact us is stupid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I even wrote home to my dad, and I told him that I caught a blue marlin. Oh, that's great. He'll never believe a story like that. He'll believe it. He wants me to be happy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you talking about Sun Wukong, the monkey who defeated Heaven's entire army 500 years ago? Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we need a plan. Zanwukong is strong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well hello and welcome to this English lesson where I'm going to talk about elections. Uhm, this should be a good topic. I feel like I should have done this topic a week ago, but since the election in the United States isn't quite over yet,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's probably still a good topic to do. So in this lesson, I will talk about elections. I will talk about the people who run for office and I will talk about some of the words and phrases you would use to talk about an election. An election


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is a process where people choose someone to be a leader. An election doesn't just need to happen in a country.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In fact, in our school, we have elections every year for students council. So an election can be local, an election can be in a school, an election can be in an organization, or as many of you are familiar with, an election can be in a country.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Canada has an election, I think, every five years. The United States has an election every four years. Uhm, but again, you can have big and small elections. It's simply a process whereby people in a country or organization


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Each give one vote and decide who they want their leader to be. If you work in a large factory that has a union, you will often have elections every year to elect the leaders of that union as well. So an election does not have to simply be about government.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An election is anytime an organization votes to decide who will be in charge or who will be a leader. And so let's talk about vote. Vote can be a verb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And vote can be a noun. When it is a verb, we, it's the verb to vote. So a few years ago, I voted in the Canadian election.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next time there is an election, I will vote in the election. Jen and I will go vote. Okay? So it is a verb and the verb indicates that you are going to go and indicate who you want to be your next leader.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, we also use vote as a noun. You can say that there is a vote. And there's kind of two meanings here. You could say, we need to have a vote.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that means you want to go through the process of electing someone, okay? So at school we could say, okay, in this class we need to choose someone to be the class leader. Let's have a vote.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In that, everyone gets a vote. So you see how it's a noun, but it has two slightly different meanings. As a verb, it's the action of voting. As a noun, it describes the process. So we had a vote and we voted yesterday. We had a vote and so and so won the election.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or you could say each person has one vote. So it indicates your own ability to vote. I hope I explained that fairly well. I think I did. Not sure. As I listened to it in my head, I hope it was clear for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and the person who does the voting is a voter. Okay, so there are many voters in an election. Not every voter, though, actually goes and votes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Canada, we don't have a great turnout rate for our elections. Not everyone comes to vote. But if you vote, you are a voter. You are someone who voted. Should I use all those words in one sentence?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A voter is someone who votes when there is a vote to choose the next prime minister. Did I get that right? A voter is someone who votes when there is a vote to choose the next prime minister.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that was not, that was a totally correct sentence, but it sounds kind of strange.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they are for leaders in government are done in a democracy. A democracy is a form of government where the people elect all of the officials who run the country.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Generally, in a democracy, there are timeframes, so you will have elections every so many years, and at that election, you will choose who your next mayor will be, who your next leader of your province or state will be, and who your next president or prime minister. There are a number of names for leaders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but democracies aren't the only type of government that have elections. There can be elections big and small in many other forms of government as well. But generally, when people think, uhm, elections,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they think about voting they're generally talking about countries that have democracy as their form of government.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So here's Justin Trudeau. Anyone who, uh, likes to be elected or seeks to be elected, we call a politician.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A politician is the name for the job that a person does when they are in politics. So anyone who wants to be mayor or premier or prime minister or president, anyone who hopes that everyone will vote for them so they can be in power


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so when you have an election, you usually have two or three candidates. In Canada, there's usually three candidates that are running in the election. They're not actually running, but we use the word running when someone is in an election. Just one sec.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Excuse me, that wasn't very kind. Uhm, but there usually are more, there's usually one candidate for each political party.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that person is part of a political party. Okay? In Canada we have three main political parties. We have the Liberal Party of Canada.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Progressive Conservative Party of Canada and the NDP, which is the National Democratic Party of Canada. But we just call them the NDP. Those are the three, I hope I got that right. Maybe, uh, David Dodd should fact check that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, about NDP. I'm pretty sure it's the National Democratic Party. Maybe we should check that. Uhm, so we have the Liberal, the PC, and the NDP. Uh, in the United States, obviously there is the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. So a little bit different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are in the days before an election. So in the months leading up to an election, there is often a campaign. A campaign is a process where each candidate goes from city to city and they have, they do speeches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They try to convince people to vote for them. They shake hands. They go on television. They do interviews on the news. A campaign is they have advertisements on TV.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you want to talk about enough is enough. I'm tired of American. We get American television here. So I am tired of American political ads on television. Just a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but leading up to an election, you will have a campaign. So each person who wants to be elected will do everything they can to convince people to elect them. They will put ads in the newspaper. They will visit small towns and shake people's hands. They will do everything they can to get elected. They will give speeches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they will go from city to city and they will give a speech in each city. They will visit factories. They will visit the downtown of a city. They will just go everywhere they possibly can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that they can give speeches. Uhm, I think leading up to the Canadian election, they give up to three or four speeches a day. Uhm, the, the candidates, they just really want people to hear them and then vote for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, sometimes you will have a debate. Uhm, debates are when both potential, both candidates meet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in a moderated fashion, that means in a controlled and organized fashion, they will discuss the issues.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, basically their plans if elected, what they will do to make that country or organization better. And then we arrive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or you would fill in your ballot. Those mean the same thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, for sure. Uhm, Election Day is an exciting day in Canada because we're allowed to leave work early. That's what I really like about it. We can leave work one hour early so that we can go and vote. So uhm, that's uh, that's always fun. Uhm, and it's fun to watch the results on television that evening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, when you go vote in Canada, and I think in the United States as well, you go to a polling station.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So even though it's an election and you are voting, we still use the word poll. It's kind of funny because you're not going here to take a poll, you're going here to vote, but it's called a polling station. In Canada, we get a letter in the mail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A couple weeks before election day, and it tells us which polling station we need to go to in order to vote.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you get to the polling station, they will give you a ballot. Let me see if I have this in the wrong order. Let me go to ballot. They'll give you a ballot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Canada, they look exactly like this. They're just these little cardboard things that you go and sit behind and you sit at the voting booth and you fill in your ballot. Usually the ballot has little circles beside each name. You fill in the ballot


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then when you're done, uh, you put the ballot in a ballot box. This is exactly what a ballot box looks like in Canada. I'm going to go through that one more time. When you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You go to vote, you go to a polling station, you fill out a ballot,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You go into a voting booth in order to do it because you want it to be private. You don't want anyone to see who you vote for. Uhm, so you go to a voting booth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once that's done, you put your ballot into a ballot box, which is an official box.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That looks like this. In Canada they look like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's the whole process, except there's also mail-in ballots. So you can vote by mailing your ballot in. You can also have absentee ballots.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Canada, these are very similar, okay? In order to vote by mail, you need to register to vote by mail early, and then they will send you the official documents. Uhm, a mail-in ballot and an absentee ballot are pretty much the same thing. It's simply voting early,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then mailing your ballot in instead of putting it into the ballot box. Uhm, where am I here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry, I know I had my slides in the wrong order that happens sometimes. On voting day, they hope for really good voting turnout.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, voter, sorry, voter turnout. They hope for really good voter turnout. Not everyone always votes in an election. In fact, sometimes only 50, 60, or 70% of the population. Sometimes we call it the electorate. Sometimes only 50, 60, or 70% of the people come out and vote. Uhm, there, I don't think there has been an election where


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Close to 100% of the population of a country has voted. So it's always good to have good voter turnout. The more people come out to vote, the more accurate the results are for that election. So it's always nice to have really good voter turnout.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I'm just going to flip through these. Give me one sec.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes at the polling station, when you are done voting, on your way out, there will be people who are conducting an exit poll. An exit poll is where they just say, hey, would you like to answer a few questions? We're just doing a poll. And they're questions about, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Will you tell us, uhm, you're, like, are you male, female, your age, etc.? They might even ask who you voted for, although I'm not sure that's 100% legal all the time. They will certainly ask you things like, did you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you vote because you want the leader to improve the economy? Did you vote for the person you voted for because you want them to improve streets and roads? So they try to ask you a few questions to get a good idea as to why you voted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you have an election, when it is in process, when it's happening live, you will have sometimes a front-runner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That means that person is winning that area. So in the state of Nebraska, this picture is from a couple days ago, you can see that Joe Biden has 50-50.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 55% of the votes and Trump has 45. We would say that Joe Biden is the front runner in that state. It doesn't mean he has won that state.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are only a front runner when the votes still need to be counted and when they need to finish counting the votes, but you are in the lead. If you think about a race where you run,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you are in front of someone during the race, you are the front runner. Okay. It doesn't mean you won because the race isn't over. So in this case, we see that Joe Biden is the front runner in Nebraska whenever this picture was taken. I think it's from two days ago. We also have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The phrase neck and neck. You can see in this picture that Joe Biden has 49.8% of the vote and Trump has 48.6. They're very, very close to each other. So we would say they are neck and neck. You can use this in any situation where there is a race.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where two people are so close to each other in the race, uhm, that you not, you aren't sure who's going to win the race. In a car race, you can say, oh, they're coming around the last corner, they're neck and neck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, in a foot race, if you are running and you and another person are almost like you're right beside each other, we would say that you're neck and neck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's kind of a funny phrase, neck and neck. Uhm, and then we had this phrase a little earlier, too close to call. So you can see in this picture, each candidate has 49% of the vote.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they are still counting the votes. So sometimes when one candidate has a lot more votes than the other


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The news reporters will call it. They'll say, well, it looks like this person's going to win. So even though they are still counting votes, they know mathematically they will win, but sometimes it's too close to call.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in this situation, if I was a reporter, I would say, we can't say who's going to win, because it's too close to call. Uhm, sometimes things are just too close to call. Uhm, let me see here. When you win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so, you are running for election, there is an election, and then once everyone votes and if you are chosen, you are elected. In Canada, when you are elected, you usually have a big party to celebrate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Usually you celebrate with all of your supporters and you celebrate with all of the other people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he is the prime minister. Uhm, let's see here. We also have situations where there is a landslide. So we talked about neck and neck being really close. When you win by a landslide it means you get almost


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like you get a vast majority of the votes. In this image, I think this is from the UK. You can see the conservatives won.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you definitely, I'm just laughing at Mahdi who's doing a, uh, he's doing a A, choose A or B, who you think's gonna win the election. Uhm, but yeaah, sometimes you win by a landslide.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, when you lose an election, if you are the person who has lost the election, you give a concession speech. Okay, so a concession speech is a speech that you give when you have lost an election.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Generally a concession speech, uh, comes along with that person admitting that they lost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It comes with that person saying that they worked hard and they tried their best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They usually thank everyone that helped them during their campaign but a concession speech is given by the person who has lost the election. Uhm, and then of course you have an acceptance speech.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An acceptance speech is a speech given by the person who has won the election.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a very similar speech, uhm, the only main difference would be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A concession speech, the person says, we accept the loss. And an acceptance speech, they say, they accept the win. And then usually they thank everyone who helped them during their campaign. They, uh, they kind of talk about some of the things they're excited about doing as the new leader. Uhm, but an acceptance speech is definitely something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That you will hear, uh, at the end of an election when all of the votes have been counted. So in the case of the United States right now, people are waiting for all the votes to be counted and then there will be an acceptance speech and there will be a concession speech.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That might be a ways away because there may be some legal challenges in the United States. So we have to wait to see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but definitely, uh, at some point someone will accept the fact that they have won and someone will concede that they have lost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you know where we can beg for some food? We are quite hungry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, where are you and your companions going? We're traveling to the western paradise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Journey to the West, Chapter 101, Arrested.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is ridiculous, said the Tang monk. Why are we under arrest?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soldiers were bringing the travelers back to the town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By now they had reached the town. A crowd of people had gathered to watch. The soldiers brought the travelers into the courthouse. The judge frowned at the monk and the others.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That night, Wukong turned into a bee and flew out of the jail and to Squire Ku's house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The monkey changed back into himself and hid behind a curtain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The walls of the house shook, and Lady Ku trembled. The monkey continued.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He saw the judge sitting at a desk reading some papers Wukong flew over the roof


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then he turned into an enormous spirit body and lowered one foot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the judge saw the giant foot, he gasped. The paper fell from his hands. Wukong's voice boomed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Journey to the West, Chapter 102. The prisoners are released.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lady Koo ran into the courthouse early the next morning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With tears in her eyes, she told the judge that she had lied the day before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The tang monk and his companions are innocent. Please release them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you really do that? asked Lady Koo. The Tang Monk smiled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Wukong entered the Palace of Darkness, the Judge of the Dead frowned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The judge opened the directory and flipped through some pages.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Squire Koo was sitting behind a large desk smiling as he studied some documents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His eyes sparkled when he saw Wukong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you doing here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The squire looked confused. He glanced at the Bodhisattva.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The squire came out from behind his desk and bowed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The monkey recited a spell, and the squire vanished.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sun setting over those two hills made me think of a big ass, and that made me think of ass cancer, and that made me think of Herb Kazaz's ass cancer.

[Assistant] This snow is deep, said Poppy. I can't drive in it. I can't drive either, said Dipper. I'm stuck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh oh, said Jeb. We can't get to the road. We're stuck at school, said Eddie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soon the parking lot was clear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the piles were too big. SNAP!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ugh, said Mr. Grill. My snowplow broke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. Okay. I mean, how close do I get to get this thing? The closer you are, the sexier you sound. Uh, hey babe, can't get enough of your love baby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you want my body and you think I'm sexy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Best case is about 5 years, worst case 10 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was magnificent. The land is filled with beauty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The villagers will want to see the true scriptures. They'll become jealous that we have them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What you're going to learn here is a form of meditation that's different from many other forms of meditation. If you look at meditation, there's passive meditation and active or sometimes called dynamic meditation. Passive meditation is about introspection. Active meditation is using that introspection to go out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And shake the world and rattle the world and move towards your goals. Both are important. Silva is active meditation. You are never told to clear your mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the words of Mindvalley teacher Emily Fletcher, asking someone to clear their mind during meditation is like asking someone to stop their heart from beating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Silva, you don't clear your mind. You let whatever thoughts come to you and you channel those thoughts towards making a better world. If you have a problem, you turn that problem into a project to resolve. It could be a problem at work that you want to resolve. It could be a family or a health problem you want to resolve. You turn it into a project and you channel your mind to bring that project into reality by leveraging


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Think of this as the concept of the Buddha and the badass. The Buddha is that part of you that is your inner spiritual power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you don't just want to be the Buddha. This is not India thousands of years ago. We live in the modern world. We have careers, we have jobs, we have missions, we have things we need to bring to the world. The badass is that part of you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Isn't going to just live in today's world. It's going to make that world better. You have to converge the Buddha and the badass into one. That's what Silva Ultramine teaches you. Now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Principles of personal growth and then you're going to go through programming where you will be programmed or your mind will be programmed at a deep level of meditation to bring out new abilities of intuition, of manifesting, of deep relaxation.

[Assistant] The 10 programming modules are broken into two types. They are centering exercises and projection exercises. Centering exercises are designed to make you go deep into a deep state of relaxation. Projection exercises are a whole different thing. They're designed to help you project your


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Consciousness, your awareness across time and space to perceive information that would otherwise be unknown to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The five projection exercises look like this. You're going to start by projecting yourself into the living room of your home. Fairly easy. You're going to imagine the living room of your home and Jose's script read by me is going to guide you through a series of different practices to do in your relaxed meditative state.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're then going to project into something a little bit more complex, into different types of metals, then into something even more complex, a plant, then into animal life, then into a human being who needs healing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That final projection is where you learn to perceive abnormalities of health in other human beings and to apply healing on other human beings. That is one of the most powerful uses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now traditional Mindvalley programs happen over around a month and are 20 minutes per day. This program, because of the nature of the projection exercises and because I wanted to stay true to Jose Silva's work and his scripts, sometimes might go on to 30 minutes. Okay, so be prepared to spend a little bit more time, but know that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you come out of these projection exercises, you are going to feel so magnified, so refreshed. You can go back to work and do more in less time. So it's actually buying you time. There's an old saying that practice makes perfect. I don't believe that. You can meditate for years and you can still be a sloppy meditator.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What you're going to learn here is a perfect way of practicing going into deeper levels of mind, tapping into altered states, leveraging these tools to do remarkable things in the world. Perfect practice makes perfect. And as you go through this, you will be transformed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Consciously as you gain new knowledge and ideas, but also subconsciously as these programming techniques shift the capabilities of your subconscious mind. This is truly one of the most powerful subconscious programming tools I've ever encountered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you for joining us for warmup three. Tomorrow in warmup four, we're going to go deeper on the concept of brainwave states.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We become a source for creativity, for intuition, for ideas. Throughout history, there have been so many stories of men and women who have tapped into this level to create remarkable discoveries and ideas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Elias Howe was the inventor of the sewing machine, and as legend has it, he was


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Facing this intractable problem of how to design the needle of the sewing machine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One day, he had a dream where he found himself surrounded by cannibals. He was put in a giant pot and these cannibals were waving spears at him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This dream gave him the insight to design the sewing machine so that the hole where the thread goes through is not at the end of the needle, but at the tip of the needle. And that is how modern sewing machines work today. Now Elias Howe wasn't the only one. There have been so many stories of singers, of artists who have had incredible ideas come to them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Today, intuition is being introduced in companies around the world as a way to boost creativity and inspiration. We don't know how it works, but we know that it works. Now, when I talk about intuition or ESP, I am not talking about roadside psychics that get tourists to pay them money to see a perceived future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those are inevitably scams. What we are talking about is a natural human ability to be able to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] ESP or intuition and CEO performance. So he tested a group of CEOs and he found that CEOs who scored the highest in terms of intuitive ability also had the highest correlation with successful profit growth of their companies. He published this work in a book called Executive ESP and it was groundbreaking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The book Jonathan Livingston Seagull, which is a book which is essentially on personal growth, in the form of a narrative tale about a seagull trying to learn how to fly, became such a publishing phenomenon that Time Magazine featured it on the cover.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being able to get to the center level of mind, access the alpha level, allowed the ideas to flow. And Jonathan Livingston Seagull became one of the greatest books of the century to the point where it was featured on Time magazine. So how does CSP work?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But human beings didn't know what the sun was. Some thought it was the Egyptian god Ra, sailing across the sky. Other civilizations thought it was a giant orb of fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's only in the last 100 years that we understood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That the sun is a giant mass of helium and hydrogen atoms going through a thermonuclear reaction. We only figured that out in the last 100 years, but it didn't stop humanity from using the sun since the dawn of civilization. So we know intuition is real.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Creating something, you're using imagination. If you're visualizing that dream house or that dream career,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What you are seeing is that individual and some of that information is going to come to you through intuition. For example, if that person that you're seeking to heal might be suffering from a depression, your subconscious mind might let you know by showing dark clouds around that person's head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is visualization. So visualization is receiving, just like the ears are for listening. Imagination is putting


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the mental screen is how you're going to visualize and you're going to imagine. And I'm going to teach you how to use the mental screen as a tool within your mind when you're at the alpha and theta levels of mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jose said, imagine this giant television screen as big as you can see edge to edge is at least six feet in front of you. So six feet in front of you. So can you see that giant screen yet? Now we come to the second part. Jose was extremely specific about this. This giant TV screen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you elevated 20 degrees, what's going on is that your eyeballs are shifting up ever so slightly. And studies have shown that when you move your eyeballs up,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it becomes easier for you to get relaxed. So once you have this giant screen in front of you, remember at least six feet out, 20 degrees above the line of horizon, this is where you're going to receive information for visualization and send out information through imagination.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What we're going to do now is I'm gonna guide you into a simple exercise. This is gonna be a rapid fire meditation. I'm gonna take you down using the three to one method in a fast way. I'm gonna ask you to see your mental screen and on that mental screen,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're going to spend a few minutes, one to two to three minutes projecting and seeing a goal that matters to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At this point, choose something. And when you're choosing a goal, choose a goal three years out. There's a reason I ask you to do this. Bill Gates refutedly said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We often overestimate what we can do in one year, but underestimate what we can do in three years. So think about a goal three years out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And stretch it a bit. What would that ideal relationship or that ideal job or that ideal house or that ideal body look like?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To choose and think about the goal that you're going to visualize.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're gonna see your mental screen, you're gonna project onto it that thing that you want to visualize, and I'm gonna teach you a simple technique I call image streaming to make your visualization more accurate and more real. It's super easy and you will instantly


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm then going to count you up and this entire process will take roughly seven to 10 minutes. So let's get started.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In your favorite movie theater. On this mental screen, I want you to start visualizing your chosen goal three years ahead. See yourself. See other people you're with. Bring in as much color as you can. Magnify the color. Pay attention to how you feel in this image. What feelings are within you? Joy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what you just did was learned a new mental tool called the mental screen. And you learned image streaming to make the visualization and the imagination on the screen more and more vivid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're going to be coming back to this tool in subsequent lessons, and you're going to see just how powerful the mental screen can be for you as a tool for not just intuition, but for healing and for visualizing your magnificent future. I'll see you tomorrow.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The outcome of that crash could have been a quite different Earth-Moon system. We ended up with a large moon.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Complex life forms must arise. A thousand becomes one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they have to avoid disaster, not just self-inflicted, but from the skies too. That planet around Proxima Centauri, last year it got blasted by a flare. One planet in a trillion galaxies, just those in the visible universe.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, hello and welcome to this English lesson about creativity. I am excited to do this lesson this morning because, uh, being creative is something that just makes the world a better place. The more creativity we have,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Making something new or making something that looks really cool or making something that people haven't seen before. I think all of us have a little bit of an ability to be creative uhm, and everything we do


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Makes the world better. I try to be as creative as possible when I make my English lessons. Uhm, but certainly creativity is a cool topic for an English lesson and I'm excited to teach you about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Creativity. So how would I define creativity? What would I say creativity is?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Creativity is when you have new ideas and those ideas lead to you doing new things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That are interesting or look beautiful or are artistic or even you can use creativity to solve problems. You know, you could say he has a lot of creativity when it comes to solving problems. So it's just a way of thinking that helps you have new ideas to think of new ways to do stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it looked like the cloud was sitting in it and then take a picture. So they have a lot of creativity and they've created this beautiful image for us to see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So once again, what is creativity? It's the ability to think of new things, to have new ideas, to think of new ways to do things, um, usually that haven't been done before, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you would call that person creative. So when you know someone like this person who is maybe really artistic who likes to draw and do creative things, we would say the person is creative. They're a very creative


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wouldn't say I'm a creative person, but I try to be creative.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I make my English lessons, I try to think of a way, how am I going to make an English lesson video in a creative way so that people enjoy watching it and so that they remember it. So a person who is create uh has a lot of creativity, we would say they are creative.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course to be creative, you need to have a good imagination. Your imagination is your ability to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Think of things in your mind. It's your ability to, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Think of something before it exists. So let's say you were going to do a painting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before you do a painting, you might in your mind think about what you want it to look like. You would use your imagination. Let's say, uh, you're going to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I should change this room. Uhm, I would change this room, but I don't have a lot of money. You use your imagination to think about what something could look like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we would describe a person who uses their imagination a lot as imaginative. Let me repeat that word. It's a little hard to pronounce. Imaginative. Imagination.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Imaginative. I barely say the first vowel, don't I? Imaginative. Uhm, I teach a lot of students who are imaginative. Sometimes we do projects and they use their imagination to create something very, very cool. They're very imaginative and they create a lot of imaginative projects.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Someone who uses their imagination a lot, someone who has a lot of creativity, we would often use this phrase to describe them. They have a lot of original ideas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you have an original idea it means you think of a new way to do something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, original ideas are very, very cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you've ever worked with someone who has a lot of original ideas,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, are just really, really neat. Uhm, a lot of apps that we use are a result of someone having an original idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once someone must have thought, what if I made an app just for photographs? That was an original idea, and then eventually we had Instagram. So an original idea is a new, unique idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, particularly if someone has a lot of creativity when it comes to painting or sketching or creating sculptures. Someone who is very, very artistic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, in terms of creativity, we would say they're artistic. There, I've just described them using the word I'm teaching you. So an artist, someone who makes art, we would say is artistic. Um, artistic people often have original ideas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Artistic people often are very creative and have a lot of creativity. So I'm trying to use, I'm trying to weave all the words into the phrases I'm using.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will claim that I sometimes have original ideas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would claim that I am a little bit creative. I think I have a good imagination, but I'm not artistic. I can't paint, I can't draw, I can't, uh, even on the musical side, I'm not a musical person, but, uh, definitely there are enough artists in the world to make the world a beautiful place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is used to describe someone who's good at something, and I did cover this in a short Tuesday lesson. When you say someone has a way with something, it means that they're very creative and good at it. Jen has a way with flowers when she's arranging bouquets. She's very creative when she arranges flowers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you could say someone has a way with words. When they write stories, they write in a very creative way. They know how to put words together to make something beautiful and creative. So that's just another, a little phrase we use to describe something who has, someone who has a lot of creativity. When you are creative,


[User] Please transcribe this text
