[Assistant] Come in on Saturday. That's the phrase we use. Your boss might say hey, can you come in on Saturday morning?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We really want to get this project done. If you could come in Saturday and work five or six hours, that would be great. So your boss might ask you to work overtime. So he or she might say, Hey, can you work overtime this weekend? Can you work late tonight? Can you come in on Saturday and work a few hours or


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you come in early? This is my least favorite one. My least favorite question from my boss is can you come in early tomorrow? Uhm, I'd rather work late or I'd rather work on a Saturday. So uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yes, this only happens if you have a job where you're paid by the hour. If you have a salary job, your boss might ask this as well, but it wouldn't be called overtime. Uhm, because when you work overtime, you get paid extra.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, if you are paid a salary, you might be asked to work late, but if you are on an hourly wage and your boss asks you to work overtime or to work late, you would get paid extra. That means you would get more money per hour possibly. Uhm, and then another thing,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You might get from your place of work is a bonus. So every year at my job, we get a bonus at Christmas. We get a little envelope and there's a special gift inside. It's usually a gift card that we can use to take our family out to eat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But some people get money as a Christmas bonus. Some people when they finish a job or project early at work, they might get paid extra money. They might get a bonus for getting the job done early. So bonuses are really cool to have. I used a phrase in their place of work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think I talked about that yet. Uhm, we often refer to the place where we work as our place of work. So my place of work is a school. Your place of work might be a restaurant. Your place of work might be a hospital. It's kind of a little term we use to refer to the place where we work. Place of work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so some simpler words here. You, of course, if you have a job, have a boss. Uhm, a boss is the person who either owns the business


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or has been hired to be the boss, okay? So when I was younger, when I worked for my uncle, he owned a business and he was the boss.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, if you work in a larger, uh, place of business, you might have a supervisor or a manager.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you work somewhere and there are only five or six people that work there, you'll probably just have a boss.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if you work somewhere where 50 or 100 people, uh, work there, you will probably have supervisors or managers. These are people who uhm, they're kind of your boss.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then they'll have a lot of workers or employees at the bottom. So workers and employees don't talk to the boss directly. Instead, they have a manager or supervisor who is in charge of them. So it's their job to make sure you get your work done. Uhm, the people you work with are called your colleagues or they're called your coworkers. You can use either word.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I often use these words interchangeably. I'll say, oh, the other day a colleague used a really funny English phrase or the other day a coworker used a really funny English phrase. So,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Colleague and coworker, completely interchangeable, okay. At work, I have a number of colleagues. I don't work at a large school, but I work with over 30 people. I have 30 coworkers, I have 30 colleagues that I work with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's different kinds of work. Uhm, you might have what's called shift work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shift work is when you might work, so a normal job, I guess I can use the word normal, a normal job, you work from maybe eight till four. Maybe you work from nine to five. That's a common way to refer to a job as well. You could say, oh, I just gotta just, I need to get a nine to five job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But most people I know who work in Canada, they work from 7 till 4, or they work from 7 till 4.30, or they work from 8 till 5.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't really know anyone that works from 9 to 5. That's not a very long work day. Uh, most people work maybe 8.30 to 4.30. Uhm, so that's normal. But sometimes, uh, where you work might have shift work. So you might work the day shift, you might work the afternoon shift, you might work the night shift.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, or we also have what's called the graveyard shift, which is in the middle of the night. So shift work happens outside of what you would call a normal work day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had a friend who worked at a steel factory and he worked the night shift. So he was a shift worker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he would work the night shift for a few weeks and then he would work the afternoon shift for a few weeks and then he would work the night shift again. So he would sleep during the day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because he always, he was always working at a different time than most of the world. Many of you probably know people or you yourselves are a shift worker. If you are a nurse, you probably have night shifts or afternoon shifts or day shifts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You work because you like your job, but you also work because you want to get a paycheck. Uhm, a paycheck is what the place of business gives you, uh, in exchange for your work. Uhm, so I currently get a paycheck. I get paid two times per month. I get paid, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Directly, I don't actually get a piece of, I don't actually get a check like this anymore. It all happens electronically through the internet. So I get a paycheck every two weeks, but I actually don't get


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And usually if you do get a paycheck, you will get a pay stub or a pay slip with the paycheck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is simply a printout of how much you worked, how much income tax they took off. In Canada, the government takes part of your paycheck. So when I get paid, you know, if my job gives me $500, the government takes like 200 of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's my ink comes right off my paycheck. Um, so on your pay stub or pay slip, they will tell you that. So I don't get an actual paycheck anymore, but I get a pay stub still in my mailbox at work. Uh, every two weeks I get a pay stub saying we paid you this amount. Here is the money we took off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, for benefits and income tax, etc., etc.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the nicest things about having a job is the times during the day when you don't have to work. We have something called coffee break.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We sometimes call it morning break or afternoon break. Generally if you have a job, you have two coffee breaks every day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we do use the term coffee break. Like, oh, uhm, how long is your coffee break at work? Oh, we get 10 minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So again, a coffee break is a short break, usually in the morning, the middle of the morning, the middle of the afternoon, and it's usually about 10 to 15 minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You also get a lunch break. You might call it lunch time or you might just call it lunch. But when you have lunch break, usually it's about half an hour. Some people get a whole hour for lunch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I get about 40 minutes for lunch at work. So my lunch break is 40 minutes long and during my lunch break if I want I can go to the lunch room or the break room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Depending on where you work, uhm, you might have a lunch room or break room if you work in a large building.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At my school, we also call it the staff room because it's a school. That's a unique name for schools, but you had it when my, when I worked in a restaurant, we actually had a small break room where you could go on your break.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you might take a working lunch, sometimes at school, even though I have 40 minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, let me just check where I'm at. We had this slide last week. Someone who is a workaholic is someone who works too much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is different than your boss asking you to work overtime. Someone who is a workaholic decides that they want to work more than they should. They get up early to go to work, they work a long day, and they come home really late at night. They are a workaholic. Maybe even after they get home from work, they still keep working.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not good to be a workaholic. Uhm, it can cause stress and eventually it can cause burnout.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the things people like is when they get a raise. Uhm, if you are getting paid $20 per hour and your boss says, I'm going to give you $21 an hour starting next week, we would say that you got a raise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's really nice to get a raise. Uhm, I get a small raise every year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To accommodate inflation. So if inflation, I'm not going to explain inflation, but if inflation is 1%, then I get a 1% raise every year. So a raise is when


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you make a certain amount of money and then your place of work starts paying you more. It's nice to get a raise. Sometimes you can ask for a raise. At my work you can't ask for a raise. Everything that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, what people are paid as teachers is decided. There's no, you can't ask for a raise. But if I was a construction worker and I was really good at it, I might be able to ask my boss for a raise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, if you don't have a job, we use the phrase, uh, to apply for a job. So if you are out of work or if you are unemployed, we might say that you need to apply for a job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So someone who is looking for work is going to go out to apply for a job every day. They might apply for more than one job every day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, because not having a job isn't fun. I mean it might be fun for a day or two, but then it's nice to find a job. When a place of business decides that they want you as a worker, we would say that they are hiring you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it's nice to get hired. I remember when I got hired at the school I work at now, I was super excited because I was young. I was still in university. I had one semester to go. Uhm, but I came and I applied for the job and I was hired. I was very, very happy to get hired.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, yeah, Brett, we get a, we get an automatic raise every year. It's actually, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think there's a map somewhere that shows if you go from Florida to Canada and you look at how much teachers get paid, the further north you go, the better the pay is. I think where you are versus the southern states, you probably do get paid better. I think if that map is still accurate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, if your boss doesn't like you, or if you do something wrong at work, you might get fired.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is not fun to get fired. It's not fun to lose a job because you have bad job performance. Maybe you've made a lot of mistakes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe you just don't get along with your colleagues and you're fighting all the time. Maybe you're just lazy and late for work and you just don't do the job well. There are many reasons to get fired, but it's not an enjoyable thing at all. Sometimes though, you lose your job because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They lay you off when layoffs refer to a time when a, let's say a business has 10 workers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And sales are down. Whatever product the business is selling, sales are down. So they might say we need to lay off two people. There's going to be layoffs. We are going to lay off two people. Two people are going to be laid off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Notice I used a number of variations of that word and phrase, but definitely when you get laid off, it's not fun. And you would describe someone in this way as well, like, oh, Joe got laid off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Joe's laid off right now. Did you hear Joe's laid off? Yeah, he's looking for work. So yeah, he got, yeah, there was a lot of layoffs at his company. So right now he's laid off. Not fun to get laid off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we have a phrase, to be married to your work. And this goes along with the phrase or the word workaholic. So someone who is married to their work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, people meet and people fall in love and they get married. And then they spend the rest of their lives together. They spend every waking moment together. Well, some people, uh, might feel married to their work. So it's like they spend so much time working, it feels like they're married to their work. It's just kind of a funny term that we use.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then here's the last thing. I think most of you know this. In English, when you want to know what someone does for work,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you want to know what someone's job is, you actually use this phrase. What do you do for a living? You might say what do you do for work?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But generally we do say, hey, what do you do for a living? Uhm, you might say, where do you work? Yeaah, both would work. But I think generally, if I met someone, I would say, hey, what do you do for a living? Uhm, if they were a younger person, I might say, are you still in school? Or what do you do for a living? Uhm, or what do you do for work?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well hello and welcome to this English lesson about verbs and nouns that are the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're confused about what this lesson will be about, you'll find out in a moment. Sometimes when you're learning English, you'll actually see verbs that are the same as the noun or a noun that is the same as the verb. That means a thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is the same as the action that you do with the thing. Uhm, if you don't know what I mean I'll give you a quick hint. Uhm, something like a hammer can be used to hammer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually talked about this briefly in a short English lesson earlier this week, but today we'll look at a little over 30 different words that work as nouns and also work as actions or verbs. So very, very cool. It makes it easier. It's kind of like a two for one deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You learn one word and you get two words in your vocabulary that you can use. So once again, welcome to this English lesson about verbs and nouns that are the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A bend and two bend. So when you look at this spoon, you will see that there is a bend in the spoon. When you look at the spoon, it's not straight. There is a bend in the spoon. This means that someone must have bent it. Sorry to switch to the past tense, but if you have a straight spoon,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you want to put a bend in the spoon, you would bend the spoon. So this is an example uhm, our first example of a noun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bend in the spoon is pretty severe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because someone wanted to bend the spoon, so there's the verb. So,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes, and in this lesson over 30 times, sometimes in English, the word that you use to describe the thing is the same as the action. So, if you want to bend a spoon, you grab it and you go like this, and then there will be a bend in the spoon. Drink and to drink. Sometimes our kids


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, want a drink. They'll say I'm thirsty. Give me something to drink. I want a drink.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes it's nice to have a drink on a hot day. In order to do that, you use the verb to drink. You can actually say sentences like this in English.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going to drink a drink because I'm thirsty or he drank a drink because he was thirsty. We use the word drink to refer to anything that you drink. Oh, I'm hot. I just ran five kilometers. I need a drink. I think I will go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Drink some water. So there you go. We can use both of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A kiss and to kiss. So listen to how I use these sentences. Sometimes someone will give someone a kiss. Sometimes they will kiss someone. In the first sentence, I'm using it as a noun. You can give someone a kiss. I'll blow a kiss.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can give a kiss, but I could also walk up to Jen and I can kiss her. So we have a noun, a kiss, and we have the verb to kiss.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I was going to put a banana here, but I decided it was better to put a potato because I've used a lot of bananas lately in my lessons. But you can peel something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when you're done peeling it, the parts that you removed are the peel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you peel a banana, when you use the action, when you peel it, you take the outside of the banana off. You eat the inside, but then you don't eat the peel, which is the noun. So a banana has a peel, a potato has a peel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then in order to eat the potato or the banana, you need to peel it. And by the way, this, uhm, tool here is called a peeler, a potato peeler.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It probably has other names as well, but in our house, we would call this a potato peeler. So, you can peel a potato, and when you're done, you will have potato peels on the counter. By the way, we also define the word peel, so we say banana peel, we say potato peels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Usually plural with potatoes because there's a lot of peels laying on the table when you're done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is something we do a lot in the winter in Canada. Uhm, sometimes I have to find my shovel so that I can go shovel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I use my shovel to shovel. It sounds kind of funny when you say it that way. But if it snows a lot, I might need to find my shovel so that I can go shovel the snow. Uhm, maybe you have a large pile of dirt in your driveway and you need to move it. You would need to find your shovel


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's good to have, uh, if you need a basic set of tools, a shovel is a good one to have, a good garden tool to have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is one that I looked at in my short lesson. I did a little short lesson. I talked about a hammer. When you have a hammer, which is a tool, you can use the hammer to hammer things. If my car had a dent in it, I could use a hammer to hammer out the dent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I had a nail, I could use a hammer to hammer the nail in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I did mention, and I will mention here too, there are other verbs. You can pound a nail in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can hit a nail in, but you can also hammer a nail in. So you can use a hammer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two hammer. Very handy. Two words, and you can use it, or one word, but you can use it in two different ways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shampoo and two shampoo. So shampoo is a liquid form of soap that you most often use for to wash your hair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can use shampoo, which is the actual bottle of cleaner, uhm, or uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I'm saying liquid soap because the only word for shampoo is shampoo. Uh, but you can use it to shampoo your hair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you use a rake to rake things. So a rake is a tool that you use if you want to smooth out the dirt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A rake is a garden tool that you use when you want to put a whole bunch of stuff into a pile. You might rake it together. So as much as a shovel is handy, a rake is also very handy. Sometimes it's nice to rake stone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very handy, handy tool to have in your garden shed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A drill and to drill. You can see that this lady is holding a drill. A drill is a tool that you use to make a hole in something. She looks like she's working on something and she needs to drill a hole in it. So she's using a drill. So once again,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The noun, a drill. Sometimes you need a drill. You go to the store and you buy a drill because you need to drill holes in something. So always, I keep saying this, but a drill is also a handy tool to have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes at school, I have a lot of different papers. And I put those papers in folders to organize them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I like to put a label on each folder, and then I write on the label what is in there. So a label is usually a little sticker, something that will stick to a piece of paper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So again, a label is something you put on something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The action of doing that is called labeling or to label. So sometimes at the end of the semester, I will put things in folders and then I will find labels and I will label each folder. I will put a label on each one so that things stay organized. Labels are a handy way


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To keep things organized. I can write the name of each class on the label while I am labeling or while I label the folders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and then we have a flower and two flowers. So these to me look like tulips. I think I've identified them correctly. They might even be parrot tulips. These are flowers. So we can say that Jen grows flowers on the farm. It's nice when I have a flower and I can smell it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when, when the plant grows, when it gets to the point where this happens, we say that they are flowering. Uh, in the spring sometimes trees will get small buds and then the tree will flower. So the verb form to flower means when the plants


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Flowers open up. So, it's nice to buy flowers for people and it's really nice in the spring when, uh, some of the trees are flowering or in flower. It's nice to see them flower and then you can smell them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this is obviously a very old pump. This is not what you normally would see when you think of a pump in our modern era. But a pump is a device used to move water or at the gas station there is a pump that will, uhm, put gas in your car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the action of using a pump is to pump.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I will pump gas in my car at the gas station using the gas pump.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I had this in my yard, I could pump water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the verb form or action, I would pump water using a pump.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I'm not sure if you know what the word cheat means, but to cheat is to uhm, kind of force this to work. A vacuum is normally called a vacuum cleaner, but the short form is a vacuum. It's the machine you use to clean your floors. So we have a vacuum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again, the proper word is vacuum cleaner. We have a vacuum cleaner. Uhm, but in our house we often say, have you seen the vacuum? Has anyone seen the vacuum? And we're talking about the machine called a vacuum cleaner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You use it to vacuum. Sometimes I vacuum my room on Saturday mornings so that the carpet is clean. Sometimes I say to Jen, have you seen the vacuum? Because I need to vacuum my room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and I will say this too, uh, it's a tricky word to pronounce.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of when you see it, but it actually isn't too bad. Vacuum. Vacuum. Too vacuum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Glue and to glue. So glue is something you use when you want to stick two things together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You might want to stick two pieces of paper together. You might want to stick two pieces of wood together. So you can use glue to do this. When you do that, you are using the verb to glue. I'm going to glue


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These pieces of paper together, I'm going to glue


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This, uh, these two pieces of wood together. So when you glue something, you use glue. You put some glue on it. And then when you do this, when you put the two pieces together, we would say that you are gluing. You are going to glue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, do a lot of coloring. And we would glue things together and make things. It was always fun when I was a young, uh, child at school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah-ho and too-ho. So, ah-ho, I'm not sure if you can see this tool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is another garden tool and it has a piece of metal at the end. A hoe is used usually to get rid of weeds. Weeds are plants that grow where you don't want them to. So when you use a hoe, you, you could say this, I need the hoe because I need to go hoe the field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when you ho, the action of using the ho, we use the verb to ho.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the tool itself is called a hoe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Similar to a saw. So the tool that this lady is using is called a saw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The action she is doing is to saw. She is sawing the board in half. She found the saw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now she's going to saw the board in half. Now we do also use the verb to cut when talking about a saw. You can use a saw to cut a board in half. You can also use a saw to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, saw a board in half. Both are fine. I actually think cut is more common. A more common way to describe using a saw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this lock is being used to lock the door. So a lock is a device that we use


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, to prevent people from going in. So the little thing on this picture is called a lock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This lock is being used to lock the door.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I leave for work, I lock the door. I put my key in the lock, noun, so I put it in the lock, and then when I turn the key, I'm now using the verb to lock. I put my key in the lock, and then I lock the door. So, when you have a lock, you use it to lock things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, a dream is something that happens at night when you're asleep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can wake up in the morning and say, oh, I had a dream last night. I imagine that I had millions of dollars and I could swim in pavement. Sorry, this is kind of a weird picture I just realized, but a dream is something that you have at night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you go to bed though, you might use the verb form to dream and say I hope that I'm going to dream tonight. I hope that I'm going to dream about something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So a dream is something that happens at night, and to dream is the action of it happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We also use the word dream to talk about something we want in the future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, my dream is that my YouTube channel keeps growing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So sometimes I dream about my YouTube channel getting bigger. That means I'm thinking about it. You might have a dream that you'll be completely fluent in English someday, or you might have a dream that you'll someday travel


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To a country where they speak English. And so you dream about that. So flipping from noun to verb very easily.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That comes out of a can like this is a spray, okay? Uhm, you might buy fly spray, you might br-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mosquito spray on my arms so that the mosquitoes don't bite me. So when you buy a spray, when you buy fly spray or mosquito spray, you can spray it on yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, don't spray fly spray on yourself though. That's not a good idea. You can spray mosquito repellent or a mosquito spray on yourself. But uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So again, sometimes you want to buy something. Maybe you want to buy a book. So you would go to a shop that sells books or you might call it a store. We kind of use the two words interchangeably.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For me, a shop is a small store that usually sells one thing. Like a candy shop or a book shop. Uh, or uhm, yeaah, those would be two good examples. So you can go to a shop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a shop. You can go to a shop to do uhm, to buy some things and in order to shop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really like book shops, by the way. They're one of my favorite things. Used book shops or used bookstores are a fun place, uh, when you want to go shop. It's a great place to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, we also say shopping. I'm going to go shopping or I'm going to go shop. Uhm, what are you going to do today? I'm going to go shopping this afternoon. Uhm, I'm not actually though. I'm going to go, uhm, to work this afternoon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Paint and to paint. So sometimes you look at a wall and you don't like the color and you think I should buy paint and then I should paint the wall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you go to the store and you buy paint. You buy paint in a can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then when you come home, you open the can, and when you start to put the paint on the wall, we say that you are now, uhm, painting. You're using the verb to paint. Uhm, this room hasn't been painted for a while. I think I'm going to paint this room this summer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, just a few weeks ago, uh, Jed and I decided to paint another room in our house. So we went to the hardware store and we bought paint. Uhm, and then when we came home, we were able to paint the room. Lots of fun. I like new colors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So here's a few simple ones. You use a brush to brush your hair, and you use a comb to comb your hair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So a brush has, I think you know what a brush is. It has a lot more little pointy things and you use it to brush your hair and a comb is thinner and just has some teeth on it and you use it to comb your hair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Both of these things, you use the noun, you use brush, I need to find a brush, I need to find a comb, because I want to brush my hair, or I want to comb my hair. So, very uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very cool examples of nouns that are also verbs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is something not everyone does, but you use floss.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After this lesson, before I go to work, in order to do that, I will use floss. So once again, using the same word to describe the thing, floss, as well as the action to floss.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this one has come up a couple of times. Sometimes you need to send an email to someone. Sometimes you need to email someone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you can talk about the thing, which is an email. I need to write an email to my mom because I might visit her tomorrow. I need to email my mom because I might visit her tomorrow. Notice the difference there. In the first one I'm using the noun, I'm going to write an email.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the second one, I'm using the verb, I'm going to email my mom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you can use it as a noun, you can use it as a verb. I think this actually might...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] English more confusing. I thought this made English easier, but the more I think about it, this might make it harder. Uh, a smell and to smell. So there's a couple variations here. Something like a flower or herbs or spices have a smell. They, when you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go like this, you can see that they have a smell. Sometimes, uhm, when you use the verb to smell though, you can use it two ways. You can say that if you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, let's see, if you put that deodorant on, you're going to smell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or I'm going to smell these flowers because they're beautiful. So to smell can mean to give off an aroma. It can also mean to go like that to see if something has a smell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not sure if I explain that one really well, but definitely things, uh, can have a smell and sometimes you're going to smell something and then you can smell its smell. That was really confusing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An exit and to exit sometimes when you are in a building, you want to leave, so you look for the exit. An exit is the door that you use to leave a building.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the back of a building there might be a door and above it it might say exit. You can use the exit to exit. Sometimes when there's a problem they'll say everyone needs to exit the building.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a fire in the kitchen at the restaurant. Everyone needs to exit the building. When they say this, when they use the verb to exit you would look


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For an exit. So you would hear that you need to exit, you would need to look for an exit, and then you would exit the building using the exit. I like that sentence by the way. You would exit the building using the exit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you ever go out in a kayak or in a canoe, you will use a paddle in order to make the canoe or kayak go forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You will paddle. The action is to paddle. You will paddle the kayak using a paddle. It's hard to paddle the kayak when your paddle falls in the water. That happened to me once. And then I had to paddle with my hands in order to get my paddle back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've just said paddle a lot in the last few sentences, but the paddle or a paddle is something you use in order to propel the boat forward and the action is to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More recently too, in the last, uh, century, we've developed something called the phone. You can have a phone in your pocket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I lost my phone. It might be on my charger. I can use my phone to phone someone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when I need to talk to my mum, I will phone my mum using my phone. Sometimes I can't find my phone and then I can't phone my mum because I can't find my phone. So the actual device is called a phone, that's the noun, using the device to make a call


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is to phone someone, okay? When you're texting, you're not phoning, you're texting. You can send, you can text someone a text by the way. You can message someone a message as well. Ah, let's see here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A vote and to vote. When we have an election, I go and I am allowed to cast a vote. Every person gets a single vote in an election. So the actual piece of paper is a vote. You get to decide who you want as a leader.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The action is called to vote. Sometimes there's an election and Jen and I will go to vote in the evening. I don't usually go vote during the day. I usually go vote or I go to vote at night because it's easier and there's less people there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A cheat and to cheat. Now there are actually two versions of the word a cheat. Someone who does this, who has the answers in their hand while doing a test, we would say that they are a cheat or we might call them a cheater. I actually think cheater might be more common.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're a cheater. If you're playing a game with someone and when they roll the dice, they flip one of the dice to be a different number, you would probably say you're a cheat or you're a cheater.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The action of doing that is to cheat. It is not good to cheat on a test. It's bad. You should never cheat on tests. Otherwise you are a cheat or you are a cheater.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we have things like a cough and to cough. Sometimes people are sick. Just last week one of my kids was sick, uh, she had a cough. We could hear her coughing. So when you have a cough,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you see someone do this, you would say that that is a cough. The action though is to cough. Sometimes during my live lessons, I get a tickle in my throat and I have to cough. I should drink some water because I actually just have a little bit of a tickle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But definitely, uhm, if you go to the doctor, the doctor might say, oh, do you have a cough?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, or have you been coughing? So they might ask using the noun or the verb. Do you have a cough or have you been coughing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in this next module, we're going to be talking about being interviewed by the media. And I have with me today, I'm going to have a conversation with three of my former students. They've all done some really interesting research that's been picked up in the general media.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they're going to tell you a little bit about their experience and give you some tips because if you do end up getting published eventually, which a lot of you will, especially if you are published in a high profile journal, you will likely be contacted at some point in your career by somebody from the media who wants to do an interview. So you have to be a little bit prepared. So I have with me today three of my former students.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll just give them a brief introduction. So this is Dr. Kit Delgado. He's an instructor of emergency medicine at Stanford University. I have Dr. Crystal Smith-Bangler, who's an instructor of medicine at Stanford University, and Dr. Aaron Ben-David, assistant professor of medicine at Stanford University. I'm just going to briefly tell you a little bit about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their, uh, each of their individual research and their experience with the media. They'll be telling you more about it as we go along.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, Kit actually, uh, had a paper in the Annals of Emergency Medicine in 2010 that was about the use of preventative services, people receiving preventative care in the emergency room. That got a lot of media attention. He was, did a number of radio interviews, including on health radio.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And actually just last week in 2012 had a paper in the Journal of Hospital Medicine about patients being transferred from the emergency room to the ICU. He was interviewed by one of the Stanford News Services for that, so he's had some very recent experience with interviewing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dr. Crystal Pengler-Smith had a paper in the Annals of Internal Medicine in 2010 on sodium reduction strategies that was covered by a number of media outlets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And recently had a 2012 paper, uh, in the Annals of Internal Medicine that was on organic food and that's a topic of, a hot topic of interest. It was covered by quite a few media outlets. She was interviewed on NPR, been talked about in the New York Times, the LA Times, ABC News. So that got some wide media coverage and she'll tell you a little bit about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, uh, Dr. Eran Ben David, he had a paper actually, uh, in 2010 on antiretroviral therapy in Africa that got quite a bit of media coverage and also very recently in 2012.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Had a paper in the Journal of the American Medical Association, which is about, uh, U.S. AIDS Relief to Africa, and how, with the impact that's had. And so that was covered, uh, in a number of media outlets, NPR was mentioned in the L.A. Times, the Washington Post, and so he's also done a number of interviews, uh, very recently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm going to start just, uh, to give you guys a sense of how does the media even find out about your work. So my first question for the panel is just how did you know, if you know, how did the media outlet that you were interviewed by, or the number of them, how did they learn about your work? So, uh, I'll let anybody jump in who wants to take that question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, and Ron, did, did, did JAMA issue a press release on yours?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's often nice to have a relationship with the press office at your institution because they will usually allow you to take a look at the press release and kind of help craft the message, which you don't get, as we'll talk about later, with an independent media outlet. Good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, for a radio interview you really need to be prepared because you're doing it, was it live? Or at least it was going to be whatever you said is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you two practice at all with a, sort of do a mock interview with anyone as well?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep. Yeah, Crystals was covered quite extensively, so you may have had to turn some interviews down just for time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there was a lot of research and preparation and it sounds like that went into all of these, which is good for the students to be aware of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I think that's probably surprising to a lot of students because a lot of times they try to present these types of interviews as if they were spontaneous and conversational, but in fact there's a lot that goes into them ahead of time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, the next question is, what would you do differently to prepare for your next interview? So you've all done a number of interviews, uh, now you, at some point did you go back and sort of revise your process a little bit based on your early experiences?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Making sure you get across that take home message and knowing what exactly your take home message is ahead of time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you've all given a number of tips already, but if you had to give tips to sort of young scientists who might be embarking soon on their first interview, you've already hit upon some of those, but is there additional advice or tips that you would give them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and were you happy with the final outcome? Maybe with, uh, maybe there were good experiences and bad experiences. Can you talk either about a good experience or a bad experience where the final article or the radio show came out as you'd hoped or maybe it didn't quite come out as you'd hoped and what were the issues?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you think of anything you could have done differently after that one that could have changed that experience?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a good point you bring up because a lot of times you don't have an opportunity to review. Does anyone want to comment on, have you ever had an opportunity to review or most of them have not, you've not had an opportunity?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The press release really does control a lot of the media message, so if you have an opportunity to do a press release that can help to sort of shape the message that the media picks up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, do you think, this is sort of a related question, but do you think that there's, uh, that, that the media outlet that you interviewed with accurately captured the take-home messages? Obviously there were instances when you did not think that. Uhm, in general, does the media do a good job or have you had more good experiences than bad experiences? Mixed, mixed bag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if I could just get a quick closing point from each of you. They're running out of time here. So I'll let whoever wants to take it first with one kind of parting message for again young scientists who might be getting published soon and getting some requests for interviews.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, being interviewed by the media is a good thing in the end, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I just want to thank my panel, Dr. Delgado, Dr. Smith-Bangler, and Dr. Ben David for being here today. You've provided some wonderful information for our audience and, uh, thanks everyone for watching.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In this Leap Learning video, we will help you practice and improve your English listening and speaking ability by listening to native English speakers talking about a wide range of topics. The video features over 500 phrases and multiple dialogues of English being spoken about a wide range of topics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen to this as you go to sleep and leave on whilst you sleep for best results.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We use three different binaural beats in this video. The first one enhances your learning ability. The second initiates sleep learning. And the third improves memory. If you enjoyed the video, remember to leave a comment and hit the subscribe button.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you'll need a note from the doctor to justify the sick day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, well, let me think about it. I'm sure we can work something out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, well, we really want to keep you here, so I'll do what I can. Thanks. How's that spreadsheet coming, Scott?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, well, we need to present it to the client next Monday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great. Okay, I'll let you get back to work. Thanks. Hey, and don't forget, we're all going out for drinks after work today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They just opened a new sandwich place around the corner I want to try.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a friend at her old company and she said she's really tough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, I thought she seemed pretty nice. Yeah, she said she was nice, but tough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I was really tired of our old boss. He could be so mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey Scott, let's see what supplies we need to buy. Alright. Let's see, do we need photocopy paper?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ha ha ha. Okay, good. And what about glue?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're going to be holding special elections. Oh, really? Why? Because the mayor quit. I hadn't heard that. Why did she quit? Because she might run for president. That's cool. Do you think she could win? I don't know. I hope so. Me too. Do you think she's got a chance? I really do. Hi, I'm new here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hope so too. I just moved to town. How long have you worked here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going to have to leave early today. Really? Why? I have to pick my daughter up from school. Oh, alright. Could you finish a quick thing for me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a flower garden and I love seeing them bloom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I have a sailboat and I was hoping to use it on Saturday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If there is no wind, it's impossible. If it's too windy, it's too dangerous, though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that's too bad. Well, maybe I should reschedule the picnic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been watering them with the hose, but it's time consuming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's supposed to snow this weekend. Really? Oh my-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, it's so nice. We should all go together this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that's terrible. It's supposed to be the hottest year ever this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So was mine. What have you been doing to keep warm?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So do I. I love drinking hot cocoa in front of the fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, I really like riding my bike, but it's too wet out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The forecast says it will rain for another three days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Me too. I always go to my parents' house and spend it with my brothers and sisters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So did mine. It was back on when I left for work, though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, and I was actually going to ask if you would come with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Will you help me make a shopping list? Sure. Okay, can you check and see if we need rice?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he does. He said he wanted the new PlayStation. Let's take a look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi, I'm having some trouble finding a few things. What are you looking for? Well, I can't seem to find the pasta aisle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great! I also can't find frozen strawberries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi, welcome. Thanks. Are you looking for something in particular?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's alright. Why don't I get a few for you to try on? Thanks. Did any of them fit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I really like the first one. Can I try it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hmm, yeaah. What color do you think would go well?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I love that. You know, I need some mascara too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's wonderful. So I guess you're looking for a ring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have these beautiful rose gold rings. Oh, that one is perfect. Hi, welcome to the outdoor store. Thanks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, and will you be backpacking or traveling in a car? A bit of both.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I think we have the perfect one. It's yellow, is that okay? Perfect, I love that color.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great, here it is. You can go pay for it at checkout. Thanks. Hey, where did you get that backpack?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that's interesting. How old was she when she moved here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, she was born in Texas and grew up in Ohio. What does she do for a living? She's an elementary school teacher. What about yours?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, that's cool. What kind of engineer?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And how old was she when she had you? Thirty-five. And what about your dad? How old is he?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's 70. He's retired. Is your dad retired?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he loved being on the road. What does your dad do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're right, I did. I always got double the presents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and the boy was just one year younger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we all have a good relationship now. That's great. Do you have any sisters?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, one of my sisters is studying sociology too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always have problems with my car. I could use a good mechanic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's great. I'm engaged to be married to my boyfriend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but there are still things I want to do before I have a baby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh wow, that's great. Both of my grandmothers passed away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really miss my grandmothers. One of them really liked to bake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, she was an adventurer. She spent her whole retirement traveling on cruise ships.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was so nice. He always used to take me hiking and fishing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I miss those days. Both of my grandfathers are dead now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you'll need a note from the doctor to justify the sick day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's true. We're very happy with your work. That's great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, well, let me think about it. I'm sure we can work something out.

[Assistant] Great! I also can't find frozen strawberries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi, welcome. Thanks. Are you looking for something in particular?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's alright. Why don't I get a few for you to try on? Thanks. Did any of them fit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I really like the first one. Can I try it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hmm, yeaah. What color do you think would go well?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I love that. You know, I need some mascara too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi, I was wondering if you could help me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's wonderful. So I guess you're looking for a ring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have these beautiful rose gold rings. Oh, that one is perfect. Hi, welcome to the outdoor store. Thanks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, and will you be backpacking or traveling in a car? A bit of both.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I think we have the perfect one. It's yellow, is that okay? Perfect, I love that color.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great, here it is. You can go pay for it at checkout. Thanks. Hey, where did you get that backpack?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that's interesting. How old was she when she moved here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's an elementary school teacher. What about yours?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, that's cool. What kind of engineer?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And how old was she when she had you? 35. And what about your dad? How old is he?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's 70. He's retired. Is your dad retired?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he loved being on the road. What does your dad do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're right, I did. I always got double the presents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we all have a good relationship now. That's great. Do you have any sisters?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, one of my sisters is studying sociology too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always have problems with my car. I could use a good mechanic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's great. I'm engaged to be married to my boyfriend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but there are still things I want to do before I have a baby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh wow, that's great. Both of my grandmothers passed away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really miss my grandmothers. One of them really liked to bake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, she was an adventurer. She spent her whole retirement traveling on cruise ships.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was so nice. He always used to take me hiking and fishing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I miss those days. Both of my grandfathers are dead now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you'll need a note from the doctor to justify the sick day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's true. We're very happy with your work. That's great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, well, let me think about it. I'm sure we can work something out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, well, we really want to keep you here, so I'll do what I can. Thanks. How's that spreadsheet coming, Scott?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, well, we need to present it to the client next Monday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great. Okay, I'll let you get back to work. Thanks. Hey, and don't forget, we're all going out for drinks after work today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They just opened a new sandwich place around the corner I want to try.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a friend at her old company and she said she's really tough. Wow, I thought she seemed pretty nice. Yea, she said she was nice, but tough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I was really tired of our old boss. He could be so mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey Scott, let's see what supplies we need to buy. Alright. Let's see, do we need photocopy paper?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ha ha ha. Okay, good. And what about glue?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're going to be holding special elections. Oh really? Why? Because the mayor quit. I hadn't heard that. Why did she quit? Because she might run for president. That's cool. Do you think she could win? I don't know. I hope so. Me too. Do you think she's got a chance? I really do. Hi, I'm new here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hope so too. I just moved to town. How long have you worked here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going to have to leave early today. Really? Why? I have to pick my daughter up from school. Oh, alright. Could you finish a quick thing for me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a flower garden and I love seeing them bloom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I have a sailboat and I was hoping to use it on Saturday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If there is no wind, it's impossible. If it's too windy, it's too dangerous, though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that's too bad. Well, maybe I should reschedule the picnic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? Why? Well, the plants in my garden could really use it. It has been a while since it rained last.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been watering them with the hose, but it's time consuming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's supposed to snow this weekend. Really? Oh my kids will love that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, it's so nice. We should all go together this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that's terrible. It's supposed to be the hottest year ever this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So was mine. What have you been doing to keep warm?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So do I. I love drinking hot cocoa in front of the fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, I really like riding my bike, but it's too wet out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The forecast says it will rain for another three days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Me too. I always go to my parents' house and spend it with my brothers and sisters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So did mine. It was back on when I left for work, though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, and I was actually going to ask if you would come with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Will you help me make a shopping list? Sure. Okay, can you check and see if we need rice?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi, I'm having some trouble finding a few things. What are you looking for? Well, I can't seem to find the pasta aisle.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, that's cool. What kind of engineer?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're right, I did. I always got double the presents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and the boy was just one year younger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we all have a good relationship now. That's great. Do you have any sisters?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, one of my sisters is studying sociology too.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So do I. I love drinking hot cocoa in front of the fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, I really like riding my bike, but it's too wet out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The forecast says it will rain for another three days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Me too. I always go to my parents' house and spend it with my brothers and sisters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So did mine. It was back on when I left for work, though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, and I was actually going to ask if you would come with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Will you help me make a shopping list? Sure. Okay, can you check and see if we need rice?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi, I'm having some trouble finding a few things. What are you looking for? Well, I can't seem to find the pasta aisle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great! I also can't find frozen strawberries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi, welcome. Thanks. Are you looking for something in particular?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's alright. Why don't I get a few for you to try on? Thanks. Did any of them fit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd like something that's light red. We have these three shades. Oh, I really like the first one. Can I try it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hmm, yeaah. What color do you think would go well?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's wonderful. So I guess you're looking for a ring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have these beautiful rose gold rings. Oh, that one is perfect. Hi, welcome to the outdoor store. Thanks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, and will you be backpacking or traveling in a car?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I think we have the perfect one. It's yellow, is that okay? Perfect, I love that color.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great, here it is. You can go pay for it at checkout. Thanks. Hey, where did you get that backpack?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that's interesting. How old was she when she moved here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, she was born in Texas and grew up in Ohio.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's an elementary school teacher. What about yours?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, that's cool. What kind of engineer?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And how old was she when she had you? 35. And what about your dad? How old is he?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's 70. He's retired. Is your dad retired?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he loved being on the road. What does your dad do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're right, I did. I always got double the presents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and the boy was just one year younger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we all have a good relationship now. That's great. Do you have any sisters?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, one of my sisters is studying sociology too. Maybe they know each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always have problems with my car. I could use a good mechanic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's great. I'm engaged to be married to my boyfriend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but there are still things I want to do before I have a baby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh wow, that's great. Both of my grandmothers passed away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really miss my grandmothers. One of them really liked to bake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, she was an adventurer. She spent her whole retirement traveling on cruise ships.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was so nice. He always used to take me hiking and fishing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I miss those days. Both of my grandfathers are dead now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you'll need a note from the doctor to justify the sick day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, well, let me think about it. I'm sure we can work something out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, well, we really want to keep you here, so I'll do what I can. Thanks. How's that spreadsheet coming, Scott?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, well, we need to present it to the client next Monday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great. Okay, I'll let you get back to work. Thanks. Hey, and don't forget, we're all going out for drinks after work today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They just opened a new sandwich place around the corner I want to try.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a friend at her old company, and she said she's really tough. Wow, I thought she seemed pretty nice. Yea, she said she was nice, but tough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I was really tired of our old boss. He could be so mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey Scott, let's see what supplies we need to buy. Alright. Let's see, do we need photocopy paper?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ha ha ha. Okay, good. And what about glue?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're going to be holding special elections. Oh really? Why? Because the mayor quit. I hadn't heard that. Why did she quit? Because she might run for president. That's cool. Do you think she could win? I don't know. I hope so. Me too. Do you think she's got a chance? I really do. Hi, I'm new here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hope so too. I just moved to town. How long have you worked here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going to have to leave early today. Really? Why? I have to pick my daughter up from school. Oh, alright. Could you finish a quick thing for me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a flower garden and I love seeing them bloom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I have a sailboat and I was hoping to use it on Saturday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If there is no wind, it's impossible. If it's too windy, it's too dangerous, though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that's too bad. Well, maybe I should reschedule the picnic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? Why? Well, the plants in my garden could really use it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been watering them with the hose, but it's time consuming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have lettuce, tomatoes, peas and onions. How wonderful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's supposed to snow this weekend. Really? Oh my kids will love that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, it's so nice. We should all go together this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that's terrible. It's supposed to be the hottest year ever this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So do I. I love drinking hot cocoa in front of the fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, I really like riding my bike, but it's too wet out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The forecast says it will rain for another three days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Me too. I always go to my parents' house and spend it with my brothers and sisters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi, I'm having some trouble finding a few things. What are you looking for? Well, I can't seem to find the pasta aisle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great! I also can't find frozen strawberries.
