stir in oats

8
00:00:20.820 --> 00:00:25.100
when oatmeal begins to thicken

9
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:30.779
reduce heat and simmer

10
00:00:30.779 --> 00:00:34.559
stirring occasionally for 30 minutes

11
00:00:34.559 --> 00:00:37.460

street so no I'm not saying that Meryl

17
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:55.680
Streep is an animal goat is an acronym

18
00:00:55.680 --> 00:00:58.800
that means the greatest of all time and

19
00:00:58.800 --> 00:01:01.559
in fact Meryl Streep is incredible she

20
00:01:01.559 --> 00:01:04.140

that she is also philanthropic now this

24
00:01:13.740 --> 00:01:15.360
means that she likes to spend her time

25
00:01:15.360 --> 00:01:18.420
and her money helping people in need so

her versatility and accent adaptability

41
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:57.540
as an actor let's take a look at a

42
00:01:57.540 --> 00:01:59.340
hilarious clip where she demonstrates

43
00:01:59.340 --> 00:02:00.360
this

44
00:02:00.360 --> 00:02:02.340
this is a traffic report but you're

45
00:02:02.340 --> 00:02:04.310
going to read it as a woman in labor

46
00:02:04.310 --> 00:02:07.380
[Laughter]

47
00:02:07.380 --> 00:02:10.700
okay a track report

48
00:02:14.060 --> 00:02:16.560
let's take a look at your

49
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:19.459
Tuesday Drive

50
00:02:20.700 --> 00:02:23.819
heavy backup heavy backup as usual

51
00:02:23.819 --> 00:02:26.360
timing oh my god

52
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:29.160
get you downtown okay

53
00:02:29.160 --> 00:02:32.300
got a jackknife big rig in the two lane

54
00:02:32.300 --> 00:02:36.739
101 Westbound at Balboa

55
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:40.760
oh

56
00:02:41.040 --> 00:02:44.580
oh I wouldn't consider getting through

57
00:02:44.580 --> 00:02:47.780
there anytime soon

58
00:02:48.930 --> 00:02:51.379
[Music]

59
00:02:51.379 --> 00:02:54.720
in a small saucepan

60
00:02:54.720 --> 00:02:57.900
a saucepan is a deep metal cooking pan

61
00:02:57.900 --> 00:03:00.180
usually with a long handle and a lid

62
00:03:00.180 --> 00:03:02.879
it's often used for boiling water or as

63
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:05.220
you guessed cooking sauce to learn more

64
00:03:05.220 --> 00:03:06.840
about kitchen vocabulary I recommend you

65
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:08.879
check out this lesson later by the way

66
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:11.519
the recipe is for oatmeal also sometimes

67
00:03:11.519 --> 00:03:13.919
called porridge which is made by boiling

68
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:15.599
this type of grain

69
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:17.700
and um there are three things that you

70
00:03:17.700 --> 00:03:20.639
should know about me one my friends are

71
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.400
the most important thing in my life

72
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:25.919
two I never lie

73
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:28.260
and three I make the best oatmeal raisin

74
00:03:28.260 --> 00:03:30.000
cookies in the world

75
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:33.659
bring two cups of water to a boil

76
00:03:33.659 --> 00:03:36.540
we use the phrase come to a boil to mean

77
00:03:36.540 --> 00:03:38.700
that a liquid starts to boil that's what

78
00:03:38.700 --> 00:03:41.519
happens to water at 100 degrees Celsius

79
00:03:41.519 --> 00:03:45.860
when oatmeal begins to thicken

80
00:03:48.239 --> 00:03:51.060
reduce heat and simmer

81
00:03:51.060 --> 00:03:53.459
when you simmer food or when it simmers

82
00:03:53.459 --> 00:03:55.560
you cook it by keeping it just below the

83
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:58.080
point of boiling while bubbling gently

84
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:00.060
this point here is full of boiling water

85
00:04:00.060 --> 00:04:02.340
see the the way that the bubbles are

86
00:04:02.340 --> 00:04:04.379
rolling up to the top and the surface of

87
00:04:04.379 --> 00:04:06.060
the water is completely moving all the

88
00:04:06.060 --> 00:04:09.420
time that's what we call Boiling this

89
00:04:09.420 --> 00:04:11.099
you can see the surface of the water is

90
00:04:11.099 --> 00:04:12.540
quite flat

91
00:04:12.540 --> 00:04:14.040
and there's some bubbles tickling up

92
00:04:14.040 --> 00:04:16.139
around the edge so it's boiling but only

93
00:04:16.139 --> 00:04:17.639
just

94
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:21.440
well that's what I would call simmering

95
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:26.160
here Ellen uses a lot of elements of

96
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:28.199
connected speech so first instead of

97
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:31.259
saying a fool but she cuts off the T at

98
00:04:31.259 --> 00:04:34.139
the back of her throat but she says your

99
00:04:34.139 --> 00:04:36.120
which is the contracted form of you are

100
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:39.360
however she reduces it even more to yur

101
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:41.639
instead of saying going to she reduces

102
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:44.940
to gonna the T in it is also cut off at

103
00:04:44.940 --> 00:04:46.560
the back of the throat and it links to

104
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:50.460
read read it read it so altogether she

105
00:04:50.460 --> 00:04:52.919
says but you're gonna read it

106
00:04:52.919 --> 00:04:54.900
this is a traffic report but you're

107
00:04:54.900 --> 00:04:57.240
going to read it as a woman in labor but

108
00:04:57.240 --> 00:04:59.460
you're going to read it as a woman in

109
00:04:59.460 --> 00:05:00.640
labor

110
00:05:00.640 --> 00:05:03.870
[Music]

111
00:05:05.699 --> 00:05:07.500
can you guess the pronunciation of the

112
00:05:07.500 --> 00:05:10.880
reduced form of these words

113
00:05:17.540 --> 00:05:20.759
should have Shoulda

114
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:24.419
bet you betcha I have the original ball

115
00:05:24.419 --> 00:05:26.360
from the Foosball table

116
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:28.979
double or nothing I bet you the baby is

117
00:05:28.979 --> 00:05:30.839
over seven pounds hey have you ever

118
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:32.880
noticed how difficult it is to

119
00:05:32.880 --> 00:05:34.740
understand natives when we speak fast

120
00:05:34.740 --> 00:05:37.139
and reduce our speech like this

121
00:05:37.139 --> 00:05:39.539
it's really frustrating isn't it it's

122
00:05:39.539 --> 00:05:41.279
not at all how they taught you that we

123
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:42.419
speak at school

124
00:05:42.419 --> 00:05:44.940
well this is exactly why we created our

125
00:05:44.940 --> 00:05:47.759
fluent with friends course now in this

126
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:49.259
course we are going to help you to

127

actually have fun learning English and

128
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:55.560
finally understand native at any speed

129
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:57.240
and we'll do this by teaching you

130
00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:59.279
connected speech that's how we natives

131
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:00.900
cut and connect our words together

132
00:06:00.900 --> 00:06:03.180
you'll also learn the vocabulary and

133
00:06:03.180 --> 00:06:04.919
expressions that we actually use every

134
00:06:04.919 --> 00:06:07.199
single day and of course the cultural

135
00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:09.300
context so you can lap along with every

136
00:06:09.300 --> 00:06:10.380
joke

137
00:06:10.380 --> 00:06:12.720

on a traffic report but you're going to

142
00:06:25.919 --> 00:06:28.500
be in labor she's experiencing the pains

143
00:06:28.500 --> 00:06:31.380
and exertion of childbirth example the

144
00:06:31.380 --> 00:06:34.819
wound was in labor for 16 hours

145
00:06:39.419 --> 00:06:42.539
Janice not just Janice Janice and labor

146
00:06:42.539 --> 00:06:45.539
Contracting and everything

147
00:06:45.539 --> 00:06:47.460
let's take a look at your

148
00:06:47.460 --> 00:06:50.419
Tuesday Drive

149
00:06:51.660 --> 00:06:54.720
heavy backup heavy backup as usual

150
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:56.819
if traffic is heavily backed up the

151
00:06:56.819 --> 00:06:58.500
vehicles have to wait in a long line

152
00:06:58.500 --> 00:07:00.720
because there are too many of them or

153
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:02.699
because something such as an accident or

154
00:07:02.699 --> 00:07:05.759
road work causes a delay in general we

155
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:07.680
can use backup to refer to congestion

156
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:10.380
for example a backed up sink won't allow

157
00:07:10.380 --> 00:07:13.199
water to flow smoothly down the drain

158
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:15.780
got a jackknife big rig in the two-lane

159
00:07:15.780 --> 00:07:18.539
if a truck that has two parts Jack

160
00:07:18.539 --> 00:07:20.819
knives one part moves around so far

161
00:07:20.819 --> 00:07:22.979
towards the other part that it cannot be

162
00:07:22.979 --> 00:07:26.400
driven example a truck jackknifed on

163
00:07:26.400 --> 00:07:28.080
Route 80 this morning

164
00:07:28.080 --> 00:07:29.940
by the way this name comes from this

165
00:07:29.940 --> 00:07:31.500
type of knife probably because of the

166
00:07:31.500 --> 00:07:33.360
way it moves

167
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:36.020
got a jackknife big rig in the two lane

168
00:07:36.020 --> 00:07:39.300
a rig is a truck or Lorry in British

169
00:07:39.300 --> 00:07:41.160
English that is made of two or more

170
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:42.840
sections that are joined together by

171
00:07:42.840 --> 00:07:45.060
metal bars so that the vehicle can turn

172
00:07:45.060 --> 00:07:47.639
more easily two-lane highways refer to

173
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:49.979
roadways consisting of two lanes in the

174
00:07:49.979 --> 00:07:52.139
cross section one for each direction of

175
00:07:52.139 --> 00:07:54.900
travel example the two-lane road was

176
00:07:54.900 --> 00:07:57.360
backed up due to an accident how are you

177
00:07:57.360 --> 00:07:59.220
going to widen the lanes well your

178
00:07:59.220 --> 00:08:01.319
blackout Lane lines one and three and a

179
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:03.780
four-lane highway becomes a two-lane

180
00:08:03.780 --> 00:08:05.419

101 Westbound at Balboa

182
00:08:09.180 --> 00:08:11.460
all the places that Mero is referring to

183
00:08:11.460 --> 00:08:13.440
in this report are in Los Angeles where

184
00:08:13.440 --> 00:08:16.020
she lives La is Infamous for having

185
00:08:16.020 --> 00:08:19.080
terrible traffic Balboa is a park in La

186
00:08:19.080 --> 00:08:21.660
she played with the ah at the end of

187
00:08:21.660 --> 00:08:23.639
this name turning it into a scream so we

188
00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:26.099
only hear Balboa if something is

189
00:08:26.099 --> 00:08:28.440
westbound it is going or leading towards

190
00:08:28.440 --> 00:08:30.580
the West

191
00:08:30.580 --> 00:08:33.360
[Music]

192
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:35.039
let's talk about why you did

193
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:37.080

194
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:38.640
you're doing which is well I did I made

195
00:08:38.640 --> 00:08:40.800
a million dollars but I gave it away I

196
00:08:40.800 --> 00:08:42.958
gave it to the National Women's History

197
00:08:42.958 --> 00:08:45.360
Museum that we're trying to raise money

198
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:47.480
for to build on the mall in Washington

199
00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:49.620
there are a million stories in history

200
00:08:49.620 --> 00:08:52.140
that we don't know about like we know

201
00:08:52.140 --> 00:08:54.179
we know the name of our first Trader

202
00:08:54.179 --> 00:08:56.100
Benedict Arnold everybody knows this

203
00:08:56.100 --> 00:08:57.600
name but we don't know the first woman

204
00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:00.059
who took a bullet for her country and

205
00:09:00.059 --> 00:09:01.440
that was this woman named Deborah

206
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:03.480
Sampson who was 21 years old in the

207
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:04.920
Revolutionary War

208
00:09:04.920 --> 00:09:07.380
her brother served and of course women

209
00:09:07.380 --> 00:09:09.660
were not allowed to serve but when he

210
00:09:09.660 --> 00:09:12.000
was killed she took his name she took

211
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:15.420
his clothes and she enlisted and

212
00:09:15.420 --> 00:09:16.080
um

213
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:20.399
she took two musket balls which are big

214
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:23.700
British bullets in her thigh in a one

215
00:09:23.700 --> 00:09:24.600
battle

216
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:28.200
and They carried her her

217
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:33.200
you know mates carried her to a doctor

218
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:36.179
and she also had had a cut a saber cut

219
00:09:36.179 --> 00:09:37.980
in her forehead so he sewed that up

220
00:09:37.980 --> 00:09:39.000
first

221
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:40.679
and then he was going to take her pants

222
00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:43.380
down she wouldn't let him she limped

223
00:09:43.380 --> 00:09:44.160
away

224
00:09:44.160 --> 00:09:46.260
and she was very good with a needle so

225
00:09:46.260 --> 00:09:49.860
she cut the bullets out of her leg one

226
00:09:49.860 --> 00:09:51.240
of them the other one was lodged too

227
00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:54.300
deeply and she sewed it back up

228
00:09:54.300 --> 00:09:57.420
and then the war was over and she put on

229
00:09:57.420 --> 00:09:59.040
a dress and went home to Massachusetts

230
00:09:59.040 --> 00:10:03.179
and married a very impoverished farmer

231
00:10:03.179 --> 00:10:06.420
had a couple kids and sued for her

232
00:10:06.420 --> 00:10:09.260
disability

233
00:10:10.100 --> 00:10:12.660
so let's talk about why you didn't make

234
00:10:12.660 --> 00:10:15.240
a penny a penny is a small sum of money

235
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:18.600
literally 1 100th of a US dollar or one

236
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:21.360
cent so when Ellen says that Meryl

237
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:23.458
didn't make a penny she means that Meryl

238
00:10:23.458 --> 00:10:25.260
didn't make any money

239
00:10:25.260 --> 00:10:28.019
Rich the tampons here are only a penny

240
00:10:28.019 --> 00:10:30.059
let's stock up

241
00:10:30.059 --> 00:10:31.500
we also use the expression that

242
00:10:31.500 --> 00:10:33.240
something doesn't cost a penny to mean

243
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:34.860
that it doesn't cost anything it's free

244
00:10:34.860 --> 00:10:37.080
of charge example practicing your

245
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:38.339
English on the real life app doesn't

246
00:10:38.339 --> 00:10:41.100
cost a penny for this movie and and what

247
00:10:41.100 --> 00:10:42.720
you're doing which is well I did I made

248
00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:44.458
a million dollars but I gave it away

249
00:10:44.458 --> 00:10:46.740
let's look at the connected speech here

250
00:10:46.740 --> 00:10:49.559
notice that the T at the end of but and

251
00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:52.140
it are pronounced with a flap t or d

252
00:10:52.140 --> 00:10:56.399
sound but and it the words flow into

253
00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:58.200
each other and sound like but I gave it

254
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:00.958
away well I did I made a million dollars

255
00:11:00.958 --> 00:11:04.999
but I gave it away but I gave it away

256
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:08.240
thank you

257
00:11:08.458 --> 00:11:11.160
again to the National Women's History

258
00:11:11.160 --> 00:11:13.559
Museum that we're trying to raise money

259
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:15.600
for to build on the mall in Washington

260
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:17.940
we can use the word raise before money

261
00:11:17.940 --> 00:11:19.620
when we talk about accumulating amount

262
00:11:19.620 --> 00:11:21.360
of money either through work or donation

263
00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:23.399
in order to fund someone or something

264
00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:26.220
like a charity example they raised

265
00:11:26.220 --> 00:11:27.720
enough money to build a new school for

266
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:29.160
disabled children

267
00:11:29.160 --> 00:11:31.440
we say that you can raise money but

268
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:34.078
which of these can also be raised taxes

269
00:11:34.078 --> 00:11:37.879
children pets

270
00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:44.220
in fact all of them can be raised why

271
00:11:44.220 --> 00:11:46.860
don't you okay uh caller are you there

272
00:11:46.860 --> 00:11:49.500
yeah how can you justify raising taxes

273
00:11:49.500 --> 00:11:51.958
for something that will hurt the town

274
00:11:51.958 --> 00:11:55.019
winner at age 39 Laverne kennebrew Holt

275
00:11:55.019 --> 00:11:57.240
single-handedly raised two children and

276
00:11:57.240 --> 00:11:58.800
still managed to become one of the first

277
00:11:58.800 --> 00:12:00.839
black female federal judges

278
00:12:00.839 --> 00:12:03.360
a lot of people don't believe that it's

279
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:06.300
right to raise up exotic animals as

280
00:12:06.300 --> 00:12:09.000
house pets we know the name of our first

281
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:11.160
Trader Benedict Arnold everybody knows

282
00:12:11.160 --> 00:12:13.320
this name as Merrell mentioned Benedict

283
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:15.240
Arnold was an early hero of the

284
00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:17.399
Revolutionary War who later became one

285
00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:19.200
of the most infamous traders in U.S

286
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:19.920
history

287
00:12:19.920 --> 00:12:22.140
however these days if you call someone a

288
00:12:22.140 --> 00:12:23.820
Benedict Arnold you mean that they are

289
00:12:23.820 --> 00:12:25.440
someone who has been revered or been

290
00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:27.540
elevated to a place of trust and that

291
00:12:27.540 --> 00:12:30.179
they have then betrayed that trust but

292
00:12:30.179 --> 00:12:31.620
we don't know the first woman who took a

293
00:12:31.620 --> 00:12:33.240
bullet

294
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:34.860
to take a bullet for your country it

295
00:12:34.860 --> 00:12:36.839
means to sacrifice or risk your life to

296
00:12:36.839 --> 00:12:38.578
defend your country especially during

297
00:12:38.578 --> 00:12:40.920
times of War we also use this expression

298
00:12:40.920 --> 00:12:42.540
figuratively when we say to take a

299
00:12:42.540 --> 00:12:44.820
bullet for someone in this case we mean

300
00:12:44.820 --> 00:12:46.559
to accept or put ourselves in the way of

301
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:48.779
some Misfortune difficulty blame or

302
00:12:48.779 --> 00:12:51.000
danger as a means of protecting someone

303
00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:54.000
else oh I didn't even know I was capable

304
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:56.578
of loving someone so much

305
00:12:56.578 --> 00:12:58.800
really me

306
00:12:58.800 --> 00:13:01.320
oh what I'm just messing with you I

307
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:03.440
totally love them more than you

308
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:06.480
I get that I'll take a bullet for them

309
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:09.360
but when he was killed she took his name

310
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:12.540
she took his clothes and she enlisted in

311
00:13:12.540 --> 00:13:14.519
this context when Merrell says Deborah

312
00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:16.380
took her brother's name she means that

313
00:13:16.380 --> 00:13:18.540
Deborah pretended to be her brother

314
00:13:18.540 --> 00:13:20.578
similarly when someone gets married it's

315
00:13:20.578 --> 00:13:22.139
common for one person to take the other

316
00:13:22.139 --> 00:13:23.940
person's last name check out this

317
00:13:23.940 --> 00:13:25.800
example meet

318
00:13:25.800 --> 00:13:29.480
Fred Gorman prominent citizen lawyer

319
00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:33.540
corpse now meet his wife Ann Hort she

320
00:13:33.540 --> 00:13:35.220
did not take his last name but I believe

321
00:13:35.220 --> 00:13:38.220
she did take his life when he was killed

322
00:13:38.220 --> 00:13:40.380
she took his name she took his clothes

323
00:13:40.380 --> 00:13:43.679
and she enlisted in this context we say

324
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:44.880
that someone enlists when they

325
00:13:44.880 --> 00:13:46.320
voluntarily join a branch of the

326
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:49.320
military example he enlisted in the Navy

327
00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:52.260
shortly before the war broke out a more

328
00:13:52.260 --> 00:13:54.300
casual and everyday way of saying enlist

329
00:13:54.300 --> 00:13:57.179
is to use the word sign up yeah she's

330
00:13:57.179 --> 00:14:00.600
amazing and and she's so much fun you

331
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:02.639
know and you know what when I'm with her

332
00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:05.458
I'm fun

333
00:14:05.458 --> 00:14:07.920
I even signed up for helicopter classes

334
00:14:07.920 --> 00:14:13.260
and um she took two musket balls which

335
00:14:13.260 --> 00:14:14.220
are big

336
00:14:14.220 --> 00:14:17.399
British bullets in her thigh in one

337
00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:18.420
battle

338
00:14:18.420 --> 00:14:20.459
your thighs are the top parts of your

339
00:14:20.459 --> 00:14:23.519
legs between your knees and your hips

340
00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:26.399
and she also had had a cut a saber cut

341
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:28.260
in her forehead so he sewed that up

342
00:14:28.260 --> 00:14:29.339
first

343
00:14:29.339 --> 00:14:31.620
a saber is a type of sword with a curved

344
00:14:31.620 --> 00:14:33.839
blade thick back and guard to protect

345
00:14:33.839 --> 00:14:36.060
the hand a collocation that I bet you've

346
00:14:36.060 --> 00:14:37.740
heard before with this is lightsaber

347
00:14:37.740 --> 00:14:39.240
from Star Wars

348
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:41.399
so marrow means that the cut on

349
00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:43.019
Deborah's forehead was made by one of

350
00:14:43.019 --> 00:14:45.120
these swords and then he was going to

351
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:47.220
take her pants down she wouldn't let him

352
00:14:47.220 --> 00:14:49.320
Merrell uses nice connected speed chair

353
00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:51.420
notice that instead of saying a fool

354
00:14:51.420 --> 00:14:54.420
wouldn't the t is almost silent wooden

355
00:14:54.420 --> 00:14:57.180
this is called a glottal T and its

356
00:14:57.180 --> 00:14:58.680
common in Words with syllables ending in

357
00:14:58.680 --> 00:15:01.500
NT for example can't

358
00:15:01.500 --> 00:15:02.760
Mountain

359
00:15:02.760 --> 00:15:05.279
pint then similar to the previous

360
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:07.199
example of connected speech we have

361
00:15:07.199 --> 00:15:09.360
another flap T sound at the end of a let

362
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:12.120
so it sounds like let him together this

363
00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:14.579
becomes wooden let him and then he was

364
00:15:14.579 --> 00:15:16.320
going to take her pants down she

365
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:20.660
wouldn't let him she wouldn't let him

366
00:15:25.079 --> 00:15:28.500
limped away to limp means to walk in a

367
00:15:28.500 --> 00:15:30.240
slow and awkward way because of an

368
00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:33.480
injury to a leg or foot like this

369
00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:36.060
and she was very good with a needle so

370
00:15:36.060 --> 00:15:39.600
she cut the bullets out of her leg one

371
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:41.040
of them the other one was lodged too

372
00:15:41.040 --> 00:15:43.079
deeply and she sewed it back up

373
00:15:43.079 --> 00:15:44.760
we say that something is lodged

374
00:15:44.760 --> 00:15:46.740
somewhere when it is stuck in a place or

375
00:15:46.740 --> 00:15:49.500
position example they call the ambulance

376
00:15:49.500 --> 00:15:51.120
after a fishbone got lodged in her

377
00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:52.620
throat

378
00:15:52.620 --> 00:15:55.380
and the war was over and she put on a

379
00:15:55.380 --> 00:15:57.839
dress and went home to Massachusetts

380
00:15:57.839 --> 00:15:59.699
married a

381
00:15:59.699 --> 00:16:02.699
impoverished farmer had a couple kids we

382
00:16:02.699 --> 00:16:04.800
use the word impoverished to mean that a

383
00:16:04.800 --> 00:16:07.100
place or person is extremely poor

384
00:16:07.100 --> 00:16:09.779
example the charity was set up to help

385
00:16:09.779 --> 00:16:11.519
impoverished families

386
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:13.199
all right I hope you're having a lot of

387
00:16:13.199 --> 00:16:15.300
fun learning all this great vocabulary

388
00:16:15.300 --> 00:16:17.459
and connected speech with Meryl Streep

389
00:16:17.459 --> 00:16:19.980
so now let's test everything that you've

390
00:16:19.980 --> 00:16:21.600
learned today by watching the scene

391
00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:24.360
again without subtitles and answering

392
00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:27.740
some quiz questions let's go

393
00:16:31.380 --> 00:16:33.360

394
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:35.459
like you to read it but I would like you

395
00:16:35.459 --> 00:16:37.380

00:16:37.380 --> 00:16:39.280
in a small saucepan

397
00:16:39.280 --> 00:16:42.120
[Laughter]

398
00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:46.680
bring two cups of water to a boil

399
00:16:46.680 --> 00:16:49.440
over medium-high heat

400
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:52.380
stir in oats

401
00:16:52.380 --> 00:16:56.779
when oatmeal begins to thicken

402
00:16:58.579 --> 00:17:01.940
reduce heat and simmer

403
00:17:01.940 --> 00:17:06.179
stirring occasionally for 30 minutes

404
00:17:06.179 --> 00:17:08.958
30 minutes

405
00:17:09.020 --> 00:17:12.439
faster than at my house

406
00:17:12.439 --> 00:17:14.819
this is a traffic report but you're

407
00:17:14.819 --> 00:17:18.000
going to read it as a woman in labor

408
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:21.299

410
00:17:23.520 --> 00:17:25.880
labor

411
00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:29.100
let's take a look at your

412
00:17:29.100 --> 00:17:32.059
Tuesday Drive

413
00:17:33.299 --> 00:17:36.559
heavy backup heavy backup as usual

414
00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:39.780

417
00:17:44.840 --> 00:17:49.160
101 Westbound at Balboa

418
00:17:50.940 --> 00:17:53.900
oh

419
00:17:54.919 --> 00:17:57.240
I wouldn't consider getting through

420
00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:00.380
there anytime soon

421
00:18:00.380 --> 00:18:03.000
so let's talk about why you didn't make

422
00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:05.160
a penny for this movie and and what

423
00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:06.780

424
00:18:06.780 --> 00:18:08.940
a million dollars but I gave it away I

425
00:18:08.940 --> 00:18:11.100
gave it to the National Women's History

426
00:18:11.100 --> 00:18:13.500
Museum that we're trying to raise money

427
00:18:13.500 --> 00:18:15.619
for to build on the mall in Washington

428
00:18:15.619 --> 00:18:17.760
there are a million stories in history

429
00:18:17.760 --> 00:18:20.220
that we don't know about like we know

430
00:18:20.220 --> 00:18:22.320
we know the name of our first Trader

431
00:18:22.320 --> 00:18:24.240
Benedict Arnold everybody knows this

432
00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:25.740
name but we don't know the first woman

433
00:18:25.740 --> 00:18:28.140
who took a bullet for her country to

434
00:18:28.140 --> 00:18:29.640
take a bullet for someone can also mean

435
00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:33.119
to trust them threaten them take the

436
00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:35.719
blame for them

437
00:18:37.859 --> 00:18:41.059
[Music]

438
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:43.799
and that was this woman named Deborah

439
00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:45.900
Sampson who was 21 years old in the

440
00:18:45.900 --> 00:18:47.340
Revolutionary War

441
00:18:47.340 --> 00:18:49.799
her brother served and of course women

442
00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:52.080
were not allowed to serve but when he

443
00:18:52.080 --> 00:18:54.419
was killed she took his name she took

444
00:18:54.419 --> 00:18:57.840
his clothes and she enlisted and

445
00:18:57.840 --> 00:18:58.440
um

446
00:18:58.440 --> 00:19:02.820
she took two musket balls which are big

447
00:19:02.820 --> 00:19:06.000
British bullets in her thigh in one

448
00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:06.960
battle

449
00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:10.619
and They carried her her

450
00:19:10.619 --> 00:19:15.499
you know mates carried her to a doctor

451
00:19:15.660 --> 00:19:18.539
and she also had had a cut a saber cut

452
00:19:18.539 --> 00:19:20.400
in her forehead so he sewed that up

453
00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:21.359
first

454
00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:23.039
and then he was going to take her pants

455
00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:25.740
down she wouldn't let him she limped

456
00:19:25.740 --> 00:19:26.580
away

457
00:19:26.580 --> 00:19:29.100
if someone limps it usually means they

458
00:19:29.100 --> 00:19:33.799
are old injured afraid

459
00:19:36.590 --> 00:19:39.780

00:19:40.859 --> 00:19:42.900
and she was very good with a needle so

461
00:19:42.900 --> 00:19:46.500
she cut the bullets out of her leg one

462
00:19:46.500 --> 00:19:47.880
of them the other one was lodged too

463
00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:50.940
deeply and she sewed it back up

464
00:19:50.940 --> 00:19:53.940
and then the war was over and she put on

465
00:19:53.940 --> 00:19:55.559
a dress and went home to Massachusetts

466
00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:59.760
and married a very impoverished farmer

467
00:19:59.760 --> 00:20:03.000
had a couple kids and sued for her

468
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:04.679
disability

00:20:04.679 --> 00:20:06.840
