Read along to learn the English phrases FOR THE SAKE OF and OLD TIMES SAKE In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase, for the sake of. When you do something for the sake of someone else, it means you're doing it for their benefit, you're doing something for their safety, for their benefit, or you're doing something good for them. Sometimes people in Canada will donate money for kids who don't have parents and we do that for the sake of the kids. We want to do something that benefits them. Sometimes at school we'll have a snow, snow day for the sake of the kids because we wanna make sure they're safe. A snow day means they get to stay at home. So when you do something for the sake of someone else, it means you're doing it to benefit them or you're doing something to keep them safe or to help them. The other phrase I wanted to teach you today is for old times sake. When you do something for old times sake, you do it because it's something you used to do and it's a good memory and you'd like to do it again. Sometimes Jen and I will go out to the lake and walk along the pier for old times sake because it's something we used to do a long time ago when we were much younger and didn't have kids. So when you do something for old times sake, it means you do it because it's something you used to do and you have good memories of doing it. So to review, when you do something for the sake of someone else, you're doing something that benefits them or helps them or is good for them. And. And when you do something for old time's sake, it means you're doing it because it's something you used to do and it was really, really fun. But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. Sorry, I'm not throwing that on the ground. The van is right behind me with the door open. Because I thought it might rain, but. Hey, let's look at a comment. This is from. ThisIsSebb, Bob. I just found your channel and I'm preparing for my TOEFL test in one month. You're great. And my response, that is great to hear. I hope my videos helped you prepare and that you do well. So the Toefl, I think maybe in the UK they say Toefl. It's not actually a word, right. T, O, E, F, L. But, that's how I say it. I say Toefl, but. So anyways, thanks. ThisIsSebb. Was that who it was? Yes, thanks for leaving a comment and, I hope you have a good day. So I'm here in town. Strange. Eh? I don't work right now, but I'm in town. Here, let me just adjust this a little bit. I'll put you guys way further up. Someone once said I should try more of these. I did this once a time ago. That looks kind of funny. But, let's try this anyways. You can see I'm just little, but you can see a lot more behind me. So I'm here in town, and I'm just here because Jen and I have to do a few errands. One of the things we do is we buy chicken at a special butcher shop in town. So we're on our way there and then Jen is also at the dentist's office, so she is currently getting a cavity film. I hope that goes well. Does not sound exciting to me at all. By the way, it is kind of weird with you guys way up there. Let me just adjust this a bit. Again, I'm not sure. I know you probably can see the pole now, but that's okay. So I'm in town. I normally don't come to town in the summer. Normally. In the summer I'm just at home. And I usually make videos in the towns where my kids work if I have... if I have to give them a ride to work. And I will be doing that later this year. Oh, I should keep working here... or I walking here. I think someone is talking on the phone in this red truck or he's talking to someone in the truck with them. So anyways, I'm not sure you enjoy being way up there in the sky, but it's certainly a different view. So randomly, I'll talk about this truck. This is a Hummer. This is a really big vehicle. I would probably call this, in English, we would probably call it a gas guzzler, because I'm sure it costs quite a bit of money to drive that truck.

I hope you enjoy this English lesson about advanced weather vocabulary!
In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase to feel the heat. When you feel the heat, it means you're in a situation where you're supposed to do something and someone is making sure that you know that you're behind and you need to get it done. And they're putting pressure on you and they're telling you over and over again to get it done. So this happens a lot of times, in Ontario in the summer, because the government is supposed to fix the roads in the summer. And sometimes they feel the heat because people start to complain because their road hasn't been fixed or maybe it's taking too long for their road to get fixed, so they feel the heat. When you feel the heat, you hear a lot of people complaining. Sometimes when a coach of a team doesn't have a successful season, they start to feel the heat from the fans and from the press, the newspapers and the news reporters and sports journalists start to, really complain a lot about the job they're doing. So they start to feel the heat. The other phrase I wanted to teach you today is to feel the pressure. And this basically means exactly the same thing. Sometimes I have jobs to do here on the farm and, I get a little bit behind and then I do feel the pressure, not from Jen, but from myself. So you can actually put pressure on yourself as well. And you can also use this to describe a situation where someone's expecting you to do something. Later today there's a World cup game and I'm sure the players are feeling the pressure. They're going to feel the pressure to win. The fans and their countries want them to win, so hopefully they win. So to review to feel the heat simply means to... I usually feel the heat from my boss. When there's a job I'm supposed to do that I'm not done. And then to feel the pressure is similar. It's to, have other people expect you to do something and then you kind of get a sense that you should get it done. But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Ziravan. Thank you for another great lesson, Bob. I really enjoyed learning about the expression a day off. Your explanations are always simple and easy to understand. By the way, I think you have become a little fatter than last summer. I hope you're doing well. Thanks for helping us improve our English. And my response? You are correct. I am a little heavier than last summer. The reason is mostly due to the fact that I couldn't start exercising again until about a month ago. But I'm back on track to be more... to be my normal self again. So, yes. Am I feeling a little bit overweight? Yes, slightly. Am I feeling a little bit tubby? Yes, slightly. But I do want to talk. Oh, by the way, Ziravan, thank you, for leaving that comment, but I do wanna talk a little bit about that comment. And please don't feel bad, but normally in normal English conversations, we aren't so upfront about things like that. We don't comment directly about someone's weight. Usually it's not considered super polite. So, again, Ziravan, do not feel bad. This is what happens when people from different parts of the world exchange ideas. But also don't feel bad because you are correct, I am a little bit heavier than I normally am. And as I said, I will start working on it. But when is it okay to talk about your weight or to talk about someone else's weight? Usually between close friends, sometimes between siblings, certainly between spouses. You may be able to talk about that a little more directly. Like Jen, in a very nice way, could say to me, Bob, you're looking a little heavier than normal. Are you exercising and are you eating healthy food? And by the way, that would be a better way to say it. You're looking a little bit heavier than normal. We don't usually use the word fat. It's just not considered very, polite. But, hey, I'm the teacher. I'll take anything.

As always, I'll explain what each phrase means using clear definitions, a picture, and lots of examples so you can understand them and start using them in your own English conversations. I hope you can join me for this live English lesson.
In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase to have a field day. When you say someone or a bunch of people are going to have a field day, it means they're going to be really excited and eager and, really looking forward to doing something. I'm sorry, I'm having trouble explaining this one for some reason. Maybe because I'm doing this lesson in the morning. But here we go. Let's say that in the World cup, they found out that the referees were being paid money to decide the outcome of the games. The journalists would have a field day with that information. The people who write news articles would be super eager and excited to interview people and to find out the true story. By the way, this isn't a true story. I'm pretty sure the referees are very impartial and a good judge of the game. But if there was a scandal in World cup, there would certainly be a lot of reporters who would have a field day researching the story and writing about the story and talking about the story. The other phrase I wanted to teach you today is the phrase a day off. Happy Canada Day. It's Canada Day here in Ontario, Canada. I guess it's Canada Day in the whole country. And I have a day off now. I'm a teacher, so I kind of had the day off anyways. Notice I switched to the there. When you say a day off, you're talking in general I have a few days off during the school year. I have a few days off during the school year. But if I was to be working now, I could say I took the day off today because I'm going to celebrate Canada Day. So, anyways, a day off is a day where you don't need to work. So to review to have a field day is to be really excited to do something. When Jen feeds the ducks or the chickens, they have a field day eating all of the food. But when she first puts it in their little area. And then the second phrase, a day off is simply to have a day where you don't need to work. In Canada, you get a day off almost every month. It's kind of cool. I hope your country has the same. But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Vitor. I remember you mentioned a book called Project Hail Mary a while back. I'm actually reading it now. I'm not sure if you recommended it during a live stream, but either way I'm reading it. Thank you, Bob. And my response? You're welcome. I'm glad you are reading it. It's a great book and as a bonus, it's also a great movie. If I were you, I would read it in English and then watch the movie in English. A great way to study. So thank you, Vitor, for that comment. Yeah, that's great. That's a great movie. Great book, great movie. Andy Weir is the author. I highly recommend that you, read more of his books as well. I think Jen's waiting to drive away. You can drive away. She doesn't, she doesn't want to make noise while I'm making a video. So I do appreciate her concern. But as you know, we live on an active farm. There are things happening. Every once in a while you're going to hear somebody doing something in the background of one of my videos. So you might be thinking, Bob, you just said you have a day off and now Jen is going out to work. Well, farmers don't often get a day off. Both Jen and I will be doing quite a bit of work, later today. It's simply the way it goes when you are a farmer. Plants don't stop growing. Animals need food to eat. And so when we take a day off, we usually get one of our kids to do all the work for us. And we are planning to do that a couple of times this summer. We might take, next week, Friday, we might take the day off. And, I think there's another Friday towards the end of the month. We might take that day off as well. Anyways, thanks for watching. You guys are awesome. I hope you don't mind this one being a little late. Instead of making it on a Tuesday, I'm making it on the actual Wednesday, that it comes out. So if you're seeing this, it was just filmed at 7:58am and there is a mosquito biting me.
In this English lesson, you'll learn some common English phrases that start with "out of". You'll learn expressions like out of focus, out of order, out of stock, out of breath, out of shape, out of luck, out of control, out of time, out of practice, out of touch, out of date, out of money, out of energy, out of line, out of place, out of work, out of business, out of bounds, out of sight, out of reach, out of danger, stay out of trouble, out of nowhere, out of context, out of character, and out of season. These are everyday phrases that native English speakers use all the time, and I'll explain what each one means with clear examples and a picture to help you understand and remember them. Whether you're learning English for work, travel, school, or everyday conversation, these useful expressions will help you sound more natural and confident when you speak. Thanks for watching this English lesson, and have a great day!
Read along to learn the English phrases TO WHILE AWAY THE TIME and A WHILE BACK In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase to while away the time. And I should note that sometimes while is spelled with an H in this phrase and sometimes people leave it out. And both apparently are correct. But when you while away the time, it means you spend time doing something so that time will pass and it's usually something relaxing. Here are a few examples. I have the summer off. I will probably while away the time by reading a few books and maybe hanging out with Jen and just doing some fun stuff. So I'm going to allow time to pass by doing something that I enjoy. So it's not the same as being bored. When you while away the time, you find something fun to do. If you're stuck in line, you might while away the time while you're waiting in line by going on your phone and checking up on social media. The other phrase I wanted to teach you today is the phrase a while back. So when we talk about things that have happened in the past, if it happened yesterday, I would just say it happened yesterday. If it happened a few months ago, I might say, that was a while back. Or that happened a while back. I think that happened way back in December. There's another phrase way back. It was a while back. When did you file your taxes, Bob? That was a while back. I think I did that two months ago. So to review, when you while away the time, it means you spend time doing something usually relaxing and something that you enjoy. So that time goes by. And then when you say something happened a while back, it means it happened a long time ago. But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Mr. Fisheri and it says I used to mill about back then and pretend to be checking my phone, but there wasn't much to scroll back in those days, so it was actually awkward to be pretending. There wasn't much to scroll back in those days. Sorry, I kind of used the wrong cadence there. So it was actually awkward to be pretending. But now with the infinite information on the interwebs scrolling, the phone non stop is normalized and not even awkward since it's just the standard thing to do nowadays. And my response, pay attention here. Yeah, you can certainly while away the time when sitting in a waiting room or waiting in line now if you have your phone on you and if it's charged and ready to use. So thank you Mr. Fisheri for that comment. Let's go for a little walk. So I am, in the town of Grimsby, Ontario. This is the town where Jen, comes for the farmers market once a week. And I am actually at the old public library, which is no longer open. I'm not sure what that building is. And then the new public library, much more modern looking, and it's also an art gallery. And there's two things that you can see over here. There is some art on the wall and I think there's also some graffiti on the bottom right corner of the art. But who am I to actually know? Maybe that's actually part of the artwork. So maybe I take that back. Maybe the little bit of writing in the bottom corner is actually part of that piece of art. So what we have here is a historical building and a more modern building. And, this is actually the new library. And I think you remember what a library is, right? You can go to the library, you can check out a book, you can take the book home, you can read the book and all of that fun stuff. But, yeah, the town of Grimsby. I'm just here today because I'm actually going to be visiting family member, later this afternoon to help them with a computer problem. So even, even at my age, in my mid-50s, I still have older uncles and aunts who rely on me to, fix little things that go wrong with their computers. So I feel like they should have their own grandkids by now that are experts in that field, shouldn't they? Anyways, I'll leave you with this. Here is a piece of modern art.

These are natural phrases that native English speakers use when talking about vacations, weekends, holidays, and taking a break from their busy lives.

Read along to learn the English phrases TO MILL ABOUT and RUN-OF-THE-MILL In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase to mill about. Sometimes people say to mill around as well. When you mill about or when people are milling about, it means they're in an area and they aren't there for any particular reason and they're just kind of waiting and walking around a little bit. When you go to watch a sports game or when you go to a concert, before you get in, people tend to mill about. So they arrive at the location, but the doors aren't open yet and they don't want to leave and get food or do something else because maybe they're trying to be one of the first people that gets in. So they just mill about. They kind of wander around and look at things and, don't do anything in particular except exist in that location. The other phrase I wanted to teach you today is the phrase run of the mill. Now I'm just thinking, I think I might have taught this phrase before. Run of the mill means ordinary or normal. Walter is just a run of the mill black lab. There's nothing super special about him except that he's our dog and that makes him special. So again, run of the mill means ordinary. I usually just drive run of the mill cars. Like, I don't buy anything special. I just buy not sure what that feed bag is on the ground. I just buy whatever is normal and ordinary. So to review, when you mill about or when you mill around, it simply means you kind of hang out in an area and you aren't doing anything in particular. When you have something that is run of the mill, it means it's just very ordinary, plain and normal. But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Unsal and I think, I think Unsal is the one who told me I say his name wrong a little bit, but he still liked how I say it. Unsal says, I stumbled upon two great idioms today for good and to make good on something. Oh, I added the two there. Whenever I catch phrases like these, I always note them down. I really hope my English stays with me for good and I'll do my best to make good on my goal to become fluent. Thank you for your always. Thank you for always inspiring us to keep learning your awesome bye. And my response great phrases and you used them perfectly. So good job, Unsal. And thanks for leaving that comment. Yeah, when you, do something for good, it means permanently. Like when you, What was I going to say? I've lost my train of thought now. That happens to me. Let me see. I'm trying to think of a phrase. You used a perfect phrase for that. Let me go back to your phrase. It's the end of the day. You can tell by how I'm wobbling the camera around... stays with me for good. Yes. So permanently. I can't even. Man, I can't even hold on to the paper. So, anyways, what was I going to talk about today? You could see that the world has become green. You can also see my secret project over there, which isn't really a secret anymore. It's not done yet. I will be working on that this summer. By the way, putting solar panels vertically on a fence, isn't really the best way to capture sun, but it's a good way to test out to make sure everything is working. But yes, everything is green, except for if you look way in the distance, the field across the river is brown. But I think they did plant soybeans there. And my field way in the distance is also brown because they came and they planted soybeans there as well. My neighbor planted soybeans for me. So now I'm at the stage which most farmers find kind of stressful. Did the soil get hard after the seed went in because it rained. Like, rain is good, but it can also make the soil hard and crusty, and it can make it hard for the seeds to get out of the ground. So we'll wait and see. Anyways, thanks for watching this English lesson. I hope you enjoyed it. I know it's short, but that's how they're designed. And I'll see you next week with another one. Bye.

In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase a shot in the arm. Now, when you say something is a shot in the arm, this is a good thing. When something is a shot in the arm, it means something happened that gave you a lot of energy and excitement to do something. The best example I can think of is this. If you are watching a soccer game or a football game, and if the team is down by two and if they score one, that can be a real shot in the arm, they are now excited and ready to try and get one more goal. So a shot in the arm is something that helps. If you have a business and suddenly someone buys a whole bunch of things from you that can be a real shot in the arm because it's going to help you improve your business. The other phrase I wanted to teach you today is a shot in the dark. When you say something is a shot in the dark, it is a guess. So if you said to me, what's 8,000 divided by 4,000? And if I didn't know math, I might say, I don't know, like shot in the dark, like 2000. So a shot in the dark is simply a guess, and hopefully you are right. So to review a shot in the arm, I think it comes from, like, getting a needle of medicine or something like that. That's probably the image that comes to mind, but it actually means something that gives you excitement and energy to do something. And a shot in the dark is when you make a guess at something, you just say, okay, how many people live in this town? I don't know. I would say just a shot in the dark. Maybe 9,000. It's probably way more than that. But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Carolina, or Carolina, I'm not sure how to pronounce it. What a beautiful day. And my response, it certainly was. We've been having quite a few nice days like this. You'll see that in today's video as well. So thanks, thanks, Carolina or Carolina for that comment. We have been having amazing weather, like, amazing weather. I don't know how else to describe it. It has been about 20 degrees every day. It has been about 10 degrees at night. And it has been sunny for days on end. Like for a week, over a week now. It has been sunny and we really need that. Farmers here are struggling a bit to get their crops planted. It has been too cold and definitely far too wet. And so that's been a problem. And so even for myself. It's June 2nd as I record this video. This year I'm planning to grow soybeans. And normally they would be planted in the ground already. My neighbor usually comes and plants them, but so far nothing. So anyways, yes, beautiful weather. I hope it stays this way. So I think someone had a little bit of an accident here. You can see they have the orange, like, really big pylon here. And you can see the guard rail is quite damaged. One of the support posts is bent over and it looks like someone really hit this hard. It's even dented a little bit further down there. So I'm not sure exactly what happened here. But, since I'm in this area, I usually try to explain, what I'm seeing and use a couple new words and phrases for you. So that is a guardrail. It's wrecked. It's totally destroyed almost. They'll have to fix that later. And then I'd also... I also wanted to show you this. This sign is getting a little dated. It's getting a little old because it says you can buy a townhouse for $300,000. And obviously it does say sold out, so you can't buy them anymore. But you can't buy a house in this part of Ontario, Canada, for that much money. It's, usually four or five hundred thousand dollars now. Anyways, thanks for watching this short English lesson. I'll see you next week with another one.
