TRANSCRIPT:
Hey everyone, I'm Alex, thanks for clicking, and thank you for learning English with EngVid. Today, I have a new video format for you. It is a guided speaking practice, so I will ask you some questions, I will give you the beginning of an answer, and I want you to finish the answer for me. In this video, you will improve your vocabulary and practice your speaking. The topic of this guided speaking is phrasal verbs, so these are words like wake up, put on, and the other ones that you can see on the board. If you would like to learn more phrasal verbs, because they are everywhere in English, you can pick up a copy of my book, 100 Practical English Phrasal Verbs. It has over 900 examples and only high-frequency phrasal verbs. Check out the link that is attached to the video for more information.
Okay, so the first phrasal verb that I have on the board is grow up. So, where you grow up is the place where you spent the majority of your childhood and where you grew from a child or a baby into a child, into an adolescent, and perhaps into an adult as well. So, my first question for you, and I want you to answer it, where did you grow up? Okay, so I will answer these questions for myself as well to give you a model, and then you can follow me.
So, where did I grow up? I grew up in two places. The first part of my life, from zero to seven, I grew up in Poland, and then from seven until the rest of my childhood and adolescence, I grew up in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Okay, so I grew up in Poland, and I grew up in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. So, one more time. Where did you grow up? Okay, good.
Next, we have wake up. So, wake up is the time when you open your eyes in the morning and start your day. So, I will ask myself this question first. What time did you wake up this morning? Hmm, me? This morning, I woke up at 5.30, actually. It was a strange time for me to wake up, but just my brain said, "You are finished sleeping, Alex. Get up. It's time to start your day." So, this morning, I woke up, past tense of wake up, I woke up at 5.30. So, this is the guided speaking practice. What time did you wake up this morning? Good.
Next, we have get out of bed. So, after you wake up, you open your eyes, you are conscious, you have to get out of bed, right? What time do you leave your bed in the morning? So, this question, what time do you usually get out of bed on the weekend? For me, on the weekend, I usually get out of bed around 8.30 or 9 o'clock. Around 8.30 or 9. You can use "at" for a precise time or "around" for an imprecise time, right? It's a time that's around that region, area, place, sure. Okay. So, what time do you usually get out of bed on the weekend? Okay. I hope you are speaking out loud after hearing me and modeling your speaking after me.
Next, we have put on. So, we use "put on" to place things on our body. Usually it's your clothes. You can put on glasses, socks, earrings, rings, bracelets, necklaces, shirts, anything you can put or place on your body, we use "put on" for this. So, let's see. Question. What do you usually put on first in the morning? Your shirt, socks, or pants? For me... Let's see. I have to think about this. So, usually I put on my... Yeah, I put on my shirt first. That's right. I put on my shirt, then my pants, and then my socks. So, how about you? What do you usually put on first in the morning? Your shirt, socks, or pants? Okay. And if you are in England and you're thinking about British English pants, these are underwear in England. In Canada and the U.S., like, these are pants. I am wearing pants right now. The outer... The outer pant, basically. Okay. All right.
Next, "get on". So, you can get on a large mode of transportation. So, you can get on a plane, get on a train, get on a subway, get on a boat. So, my question... When was the last time you got on an airplane? […]
