speak specifically then marketing

76
00:03:30.659 --> 00:03:33.300

let's look at some really useful phrases

81
00:03:47.099 --> 00:03:50.459
Abeer uses when I ask him why did you

00:03:53.640 --> 00:03:55.799
passionate about that

84
00:03:55.799 --> 00:03:58.260

something fascinates me it's it

96
00:04:34.919 --> 00:04:37.919

road I have a plan to do something down

foreign

110
00:05:16.139 --> 00:05:20.000
lovely let's move on

111
00:05:24.060 --> 00:05:25.860
um now you mentioned you're from cool

112
00:05:25.860 --> 00:05:28.620
now which is in the South did you say it

113
00:05:28.620 --> 00:05:30.479
was in the south of Bangladesh

114
00:05:30.479 --> 00:05:33.300
quite sure okay I'm interested about

115
00:05:33.300 --> 00:05:34.919
transport

116
00:05:34.919 --> 00:05:37.199
um in your city what kind of public

117
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:39.419
transport do you have

118
00:05:39.419 --> 00:05:42.300
well in my country basically if I talk

119
00:05:42.300 --> 00:05:45.000
about public transports then we have

120
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:48.180
buses and trains and our government has

121
00:05:48.180 --> 00:05:50.580
already introduced MRT and LRT and

122
00:05:50.580 --> 00:05:52.139
there's a pretty convenient means of

123
00:05:52.139 --> 00:05:54.960
travel I would say right and what about

124
00:05:54.960 --> 00:05:57.900
you how do you get around the city

125
00:05:57.900 --> 00:06:00.839
well it depends I mean when I just need

126
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:03.180
to get around my city or that's a short

127
00:06:03.180 --> 00:06:05.279
distance then I choose public transport

128
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:07.740
and when I just need to get away from it

129
00:06:07.740 --> 00:06:10.440
all or I'm traveling somewhere else I

130
00:06:10.440 --> 00:06:12.539
choose private private transportation

131
00:06:12.539 --> 00:06:14.339
because it's really comfortable I would

132
00:06:14.339 --> 00:06:16.979
say right when you mention public

133
00:06:16.979 --> 00:06:19.020
transport then so does that mean that

134
00:06:19.020 --> 00:06:21.360
you take the the bus do you take the

135
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:21.779
train

136
00:06:21.779 --> 00:06:23.039
[Music]

137
00:06:23.039 --> 00:06:26.339
it depends I mean sometimes I take the

138
00:06:26.339 --> 00:06:28.979
bus or sometimes the strain and it

139
00:06:28.979 --> 00:06:30.839
depends on the purpose I'm dealing with

140
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:34.560
basically right okay here where I live

141
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:37.259
in Santander we have um quite a good

142
00:06:37.259 --> 00:06:40.680
public transport system we have buses

143
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:42.539
um the only problem with buses is they

144
00:06:42.539 --> 00:06:44.759
do get very very crowded especially in

145
00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:46.740
the rush hour what's it like in your

146
00:06:46.740 --> 00:06:48.419
city

147
00:06:48.419 --> 00:06:51.539
well it's same here because our country

148
00:06:51.539 --> 00:06:53.819
is an overpopulated country and you know

149
00:06:53.819 --> 00:06:56.279
public transport is pretty affordable

150
00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:58.740
and for this reason like it's a bustling

151
00:06:58.740 --> 00:07:00.779
City and sometimes people get crowded

152
00:07:00.779 --> 00:07:02.699
there as well we Face the same issue

153
00:07:02.699 --> 00:07:05.400
right the same thing

154
00:07:05.400 --> 00:07:07.620
um and here the government's investing a

155
00:07:07.620 --> 00:07:10.199
lot in improving the transport how do

156
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:11.819
you think the transport system will

157
00:07:11.819 --> 00:07:14.819
change in the future in your city

158
00:07:14.819 --> 00:07:17.340
I have been mulling over this a lot

159
00:07:17.340 --> 00:07:20.039
recently and I guess I mean the way

160
00:07:20.039 --> 00:07:22.560
people are gathering in different public

161
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:24.900
transportation or public places the

162
00:07:24.900 --> 00:07:27.120
government can introduce some flyovers

163
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:29.940
they can also impose a strict loss to

164
00:07:29.940 --> 00:07:33.000
like just to decrease unlicensed

165
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:34.800
vehicles that will be pretty convenient

166
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:36.960
for the like pedestrians or the people

167
00:07:36.960 --> 00:07:39.840
who are traveling and another thing I

168
00:07:39.840 --> 00:07:41.520
would say our government has taken some

169
00:07:41.520 --> 00:07:43.319
of the initiatives and we're waiting

170
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:44.880
that through when they will get on with

171
00:07:44.880 --> 00:07:46.039
all this

172
00:07:46.039 --> 00:07:48.419
hoping that it happens sooner rather

173
00:07:48.419 --> 00:07:51.259
than later right

174
00:07:54.139 --> 00:07:57.840
right talking about transport Abeer uses

175
00:07:57.840 --> 00:08:01.380
some really nice phrases I asked him how

176
00:08:01.380 --> 00:08:04.199
do you get around your city right how do

177
00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:07.740
you move around the city he said if I

178
00:08:07.740 --> 00:08:11.360
need to get away from it all then I

179
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:14.940
takes the bus or Takes the Train

180
00:08:14.940 --> 00:08:19.020
to get away from it all is idiomatic and

181
00:08:19.020 --> 00:08:21.660
it means really to escape the noise and

182
00:08:21.660 --> 00:08:24.000
activity of a city

183
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:27.780
to get away from it all nice expression

184
00:08:27.780 --> 00:08:32.700
he then uses adverbs really well he says

185
00:08:32.700 --> 00:08:35.640
something is really comfortable

186
00:08:35.640 --> 00:08:39.419
he said the price is pretty affordable

187
00:08:39.419 --> 00:08:42.958
really nice it's a simple way to make

188
00:08:42.958 --> 00:08:45.660
your answers more beautiful right use

189

00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:10.620
really effectively he talks about it's a

197
00:09:10.620 --> 00:09:14.940
bustling City bustling there's a t but

198
00:09:14.940 --> 00:09:17.820
you don't pronounce the T bus sling this

199
00:09:17.820 --> 00:09:20.700
means to be very busy and active in a

200
00:09:20.700 --> 00:09:24.240

um it's a vibrant City very nice be

205
00:09:41.640 --> 00:09:44.279
careful if you say it's a crowded City

206
00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:47.519
or it's a noisy City these are both

207
00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:51.600
slightly negative right whereas bustling

208
00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:56.580
buzzing and vibrant are positive great I

209
00:09:56.580 --> 00:09:58.860
go on to ask a beer how will public

210
00:09:58.860 --> 00:10:02.100
transport change in the future down the

211
00:10:02.100 --> 00:10:05.160
road right he says I've been mulling

212
00:10:05.160 --> 00:10:08.700
over this a lot recently to mull over

213
00:10:08.700 --> 00:10:11.660
something is to think about something

214
00:10:11.660 --> 00:10:15.059
carefully right and he uses the present

215
00:10:15.059 --> 00:10:18.679
perfect continuous very nice I've been

216
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:22.860
mulling over this a lot recently I've

217
00:10:22.860 --> 00:10:25.860
been thinking about it lovely he then

218
00:10:25.860 --> 00:10:27.540
uses some Expressions because he's

219
00:10:27.540 --> 00:10:29.700
talking about the government very often

220
00:10:29.700 --> 00:10:32.100
when we're asked about changes in the

221
00:10:32.100 --> 00:10:34.200
future you may talk about what the

222
00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:36.420
government is doing he says the

223
00:10:36.420 --> 00:10:39.620
government should impose strict laws

224
00:10:39.620 --> 00:10:44.700
very nice collocation impose strict laws

225
00:10:44.700 --> 00:10:48.720
which is to establish some strong laws

226
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:51.120
he says the government has taken some

227
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:54.720
initiatives so to take an initiative is

228
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:57.480
to begin to do something that they

229
00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:00.059
should do right the government has taken

230
00:11:00.059 --> 00:11:02.399
some initiatives

231
00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:06.380
very nice let's carry on

232
00:11:09.958 --> 00:11:11.519
fantastic

233
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:13.920
um I guess in most cities

234
00:11:13.920 --> 00:11:16.320
um a key part of Transportation in the

235
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:19.320
future is investing in technology and I

236
00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:22.200
I'm interested in in technology in your

237
00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:23.160
country

238
00:11:23.160 --> 00:11:25.500
um have there been many changes in

239
00:11:25.500 --> 00:11:27.899
technology in recent years

240
00:11:27.899 --> 00:11:30.540
yeah it has already changes because I

241
00:11:30.540 --> 00:11:32.640
mean for last two years we have been

242
00:11:32.640 --> 00:11:35.100
running up against Great difficulties in

243
00:11:35.100 --> 00:11:36.839
terms of Education

244
00:11:36.839 --> 00:11:39.179
after kovid what happened that all the

245
00:11:39.179 --> 00:11:41.578
education system is now online based and

246
00:11:41.578 --> 00:11:43.679
our teachers were not that much capable

247
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:45.360
because that was in the earlier stage

248
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:47.578
when we faced great amount of issues and

249
00:11:47.578 --> 00:11:49.740
our government currently is working as

250
00:11:49.740 --> 00:11:51.839
the students we are also working to

251
00:11:51.839 --> 00:11:54.660
skill up our technological knowledge and

252
00:11:54.660 --> 00:11:55.920
other things

253
00:11:55.920 --> 00:11:58.559
because you know there's the era of

254
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:00.000
Cutting Edge Technologies without

255
00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:02.899
technology you cannot do a single day

256
00:12:02.899 --> 00:12:07.019
and how do you hone your skills around

257
00:12:07.019 --> 00:12:09.300
technology

258
00:12:09.300 --> 00:12:12.179
well what I do I take different kind of

259
00:12:12.179 --> 00:12:14.339
online courses that's the first thing

260
00:12:14.339 --> 00:12:17.220
and sometimes to brush up on my skills

261
00:12:17.220 --> 00:12:19.800
at practice I try to make some tutorials

262
00:12:19.800 --> 00:12:22.559
on YouTube I Try by my own and sometimes

263
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:24.600
I also try to teach my friends because

264
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:26.339
you know teaching is the best way to

265
00:12:26.339 --> 00:12:28.980
practice and I'm trying to do that oh

266
00:12:28.980 --> 00:12:31.320
that's fantastic I I totally agree the

267
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:33.660
best way to learn something is actually

268
00:12:33.660 --> 00:12:36.600
to teach it very very true

269
00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:39.540
do you think that technology makes our

270
00:12:39.540 --> 00:12:42.240
lives easier or harder

271
00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:45.000
I will say easier because due to the

272
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:47.339
blessings of technology I mean we are

273
00:12:47.339 --> 00:12:49.559
having different things like automated

274
00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:51.660
and that's why we don't need to think

275
00:12:51.660 --> 00:12:54.899
much and once in a blue moon nowadays I

276
00:12:54.899 --> 00:12:58.078
just take notes or take note down my I

277
00:12:58.078 --> 00:13:00.059
mean to-do list now I'm doing that due

278
00:13:00.059 --> 00:13:01.860
to the blessings of technology I have

279
00:13:01.860 --> 00:13:04.620
online to reduce to-do list planner and

280
00:13:04.620 --> 00:13:07.139
that's how the way or the way technology

281
00:13:07.139 --> 00:13:09.360
is helping us I mean it's reducing our

282
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:12.240
stress and workload we can just make

283
00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:14.279
things done or we can get things done

284
00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:18.300
easily than before I will say right now

285
00:13:18.300 --> 00:13:20.279
earlier we were talking about um

286
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:23.160
technology and uh older people you know

287
00:13:23.160 --> 00:13:26.279
I I was saying I I'm you know I'm 55 I'm

288
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:29.399
getting on I'm not a spring chicken do

289
00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:32.279
you do you think that technology poses

290
00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:35.480
challenges for older people

291
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:38.160
obviously it is I mean in order people

292
00:13:38.160 --> 00:13:40.139
find it really difficult as I have

293
00:13:40.139 --> 00:13:42.059
mentioned that it's kind of rocket

294
00:13:42.059 --> 00:13:44.820
science for them because they are from

295
00:13:44.820 --> 00:13:46.980
an age where they didn't face that kind

296
00:13:46.980 --> 00:13:49.019
of Technology their upbringing wasn't

297
00:13:49.019 --> 00:13:51.600
like that and now they have to add all

298
00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:53.578
the new things they have to adapt all

299
00:13:53.578 --> 00:13:55.620
these and you are a smart guy that's why

300
00:13:55.620 --> 00:13:58.860
you could do that in our case

301
00:13:58.860 --> 00:14:01.440
and there is some Silver Surfers in our

302
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:03.420
country they're trying to do that but I

303
00:14:03.420 --> 00:14:05.339
will not say they're an expert about it

304
00:14:05.339 --> 00:14:07.519
they're trying really hard right right

305
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:10.260
I'm very proud to be a silver server

306
00:14:10.260 --> 00:14:12.720
almost

307
00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:15.839
um yeah I'm not sure if I'm smart I

308
00:14:15.839 --> 00:14:18.179
think I'm very persistent right I just

309
00:14:18.179 --> 00:14:20.720
carry on and Carry On Carry On

310
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:23.700
yeah whatever I'm doing at the age of 20

311
00:14:23.700 --> 00:14:26.459
you're doing at the age of 30 55. it's

312
00:14:26.459 --> 00:14:30.240
really great right thank you what about

313
00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:32.220
um computers do you I mean do you use

314
00:14:32.220 --> 00:14:35.760
computers a lot what do you use them for

315
00:14:35.760 --> 00:14:38.040
oh my computer a lot because what

316
00:14:38.040 --> 00:14:39.720
happens that all the activities that I'm

317
00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:41.519
doing right now is based on computer

318
00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:44.760
without computer it's like I cannot like

319
00:14:44.760 --> 00:14:47.160
do a single day I cannot take a single

320
00:14:47.160 --> 00:14:49.380
step without computer presently we're

321
00:14:49.380 --> 00:14:52.260
shooting and I also take online classes

322
00:14:52.260 --> 00:14:54.720
of mine and through computer and also

323
00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:57.180
I'm brushing up my skills as I have

324
00:14:57.180 --> 00:14:59.100
mentioned before through computer I'm

325
00:14:59.100 --> 00:15:00.899
really into marketing that's why I need

326
00:15:00.899 --> 00:15:03.720
to design yeah also I'm doing that using

327
00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:06.240
softwares and computers so I totally I'm

328
00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:08.160
wrapped with technology I would say

329
00:15:08.160 --> 00:15:11.419
right interesting

330
00:15:14.459 --> 00:15:16.620
let's continue looking at some really

331
00:15:16.620 --> 00:15:20.160
nice phrases on the topic of technology

332
00:15:20.160 --> 00:15:22.320
again I asked the question have there

333
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:25.079
been changes in technology in recent

334
00:15:25.079 --> 00:15:28.680
years right have there been changes so

335
00:15:28.680 --> 00:15:31.139
something happening in the past up until

336
00:15:31.139 --> 00:15:34.079
today and the bear says we have been

337
00:15:34.079 --> 00:15:37.860
running up against Great difficulties in

338
00:15:37.860 --> 00:15:42.420
terms of Education to run up against a

339
00:15:42.420 --> 00:15:46.139
problem is to face a problem or to hit a

340
00:15:46.139 --> 00:15:49.320
problem right we can say to run up run

341
00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:53.100
up against run up against a problem run

342
00:15:53.100 --> 00:15:55.740
up against a difficulty and run up

343
00:15:55.740 --> 00:15:58.680
against a challenge I love that run up

344
00:15:58.680 --> 00:16:02.160
against it should be a song so he says

345
00:16:02.160 --> 00:16:04.199
we've been running up against Great

346
00:16:04.199 --> 00:16:06.300
difficulties

347
00:16:06.300 --> 00:16:08.940
um notice the tense right present

348
00:16:08.940 --> 00:16:13.199
perfect continuous we have been plus the

349
00:16:13.199 --> 00:16:16.620
verb in ing we have been doing the

350
00:16:16.620 --> 00:16:19.079
present perfect continuous is to

351
00:16:19.079 --> 00:16:22.019
describe an activity that began in the

352
00:16:22.019 --> 00:16:25.019
past and is happening again and again up

353
00:16:25.019 --> 00:16:26.639
until the present

354
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:29.760
lovely very nice we have been running up

355
00:16:29.760 --> 00:16:32.220
against some different realities in

356
00:16:32.220 --> 00:16:35.339
terms of Education nice he goes on to

357
00:16:35.339 --> 00:16:37.980
talk about skills and improving skills

358
00:16:37.980 --> 00:16:40.740
he actually says they are working to

359
00:16:40.740 --> 00:16:43.079
skill up now

360
00:16:43.079 --> 00:16:45.720
it's okay but in fact it's much more

361
00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:48.660
common to say to up skill

362
00:16:48.660 --> 00:16:52.079
so people have people are working to

363
00:16:52.079 --> 00:16:54.839
upskill right that would be the better

364
00:16:54.839 --> 00:16:58.199
verb to to upskill to improve your

00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:06.299
brushing up on my skills I said how do

368
00:17:06.299 --> 00:17:08.220

00:17:14.520 --> 00:17:18.439
online courses to brush up on my skills

372

my skills to brush up on something is to

375
00:17:27.660 --> 00:17:30.540
refresh and improve a skill that you've

376
00:17:30.540 --> 00:17:33.960
learned but probably forgotten brush up

377
00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:34.919

378
00:17:34.919 --> 00:17:38.039

404
00:18:59.460 --> 00:19:02.880
I'd like to come back to a topic we

405
00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:04.440
talked about earlier you you talked

406
00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:07.380
about being the student studying an MBA

407
00:19:07.380 --> 00:19:10.020
um and you mentioned about becoming an

408
00:19:10.020 --> 00:19:13.619
entrepreneur so under this topic of

409
00:19:13.619 --> 00:19:16.440
business right do you think that it's

410
00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:20.700
better to work for a company or to be a

411
00:19:20.700 --> 00:19:22.799
an entrepreneur

412
00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:25.859
well it depends when we are starting in

413
00:19:25.859 --> 00:19:28.140
our early age then we obviously can work

414
00:19:28.140 --> 00:19:30.840
for a company we can have lots of

415
00:19:30.840 --> 00:19:33.179
Knowledge from them and it happens that

416
00:19:33.179 --> 00:19:34.919
when we are working for a company they

417
00:19:34.919 --> 00:19:36.000
already have different kind of

418
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:39.179
connections so it's easy to talk with

419
00:19:39.179 --> 00:19:41.640
people learn from them but in this

420
00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:44.640
series age I mean it's really I mean I

421
00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:46.380
will say if someone is just relying on

422
00:19:46.380 --> 00:19:48.780
job they're not playing a safe bit

423
00:19:48.780 --> 00:19:51.179
because you know a few days ago beta

424
00:19:51.179 --> 00:19:54.059
laid off they're 11 000 plus impulse so

425
00:19:54.059 --> 00:19:55.559
it's really risky

426
00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:57.960
and in today's time in our country all

427
00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:00.660
over the world they're trained it's a

428
00:20:00.660 --> 00:20:02.580
great practice that youngsters are

429
00:20:02.580 --> 00:20:04.799
coming up with great ideas they are

430
00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:06.720
working their butt off to make something

431
00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:09.299
new bring about changes to bring about

432
00:20:09.299 --> 00:20:11.820
breakthroughs so to my way of thinking

433
00:20:11.820 --> 00:20:13.799
or maybe it differs from person to

434
00:20:13.799 --> 00:20:16.619
person but I'm really a great fan of

435
00:20:16.619 --> 00:20:19.200
being an entrepreneur right very

436
00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:20.520
interesting

437
00:20:20.520 --> 00:20:23.100
um and what about family businesses are

438
00:20:23.100 --> 00:20:25.559
there many family businesses where you

439
00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:26.640
live

440
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:29.760
yeah obviously I mean in my country what

441
00:20:29.760 --> 00:20:32.160
happens that youngsters are not that

442
00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:34.080
much likely to start something by their

443
00:20:34.080 --> 00:20:36.600
own there are few so I will not consider

444
00:20:36.600 --> 00:20:39.119
them a minority and in our country I

445
00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:40.919
mean there are some big businesses and

446
00:20:40.919 --> 00:20:43.559
they're really from I mean they have a

447
00:20:43.559 --> 00:20:45.059
great family background they have been

448
00:20:45.059 --> 00:20:47.760
doing that for 100 years or 50 60 years

449
00:20:47.760 --> 00:20:51.059
so yeah family businesses I mean are

450
00:20:51.059 --> 00:20:52.700
really here

451
00:20:52.700 --> 00:20:56.039
what kind of um I'm curious what kind of

452
00:20:56.039 --> 00:20:57.840
family businesses you have I mean where

453
00:20:57.840 --> 00:21:01.919
I live we have typically the small shops

454
00:21:01.919 --> 00:21:04.260
and like the The Bakers and The Butchers

455
00:21:04.260 --> 00:21:06.660
the fishmongers all of these are

456
00:21:06.660 --> 00:21:08.760
typically family businesses what about

457
00:21:08.760 --> 00:21:12.200
in in Kula

458
00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:16.320
like it's really great to hear my City's

459
00:21:16.320 --> 00:21:18.840
Name by you and I think that

460
00:21:18.840 --> 00:21:20.760
my country there are big corporations

461
00:21:20.760 --> 00:21:23.760
they are run by family I will mention

462
00:21:23.760 --> 00:21:26.840
one of them and this

463
00:21:26.840 --> 00:21:29.760
group they are providing us all the

464
00:21:29.760 --> 00:21:33.840
basic Commodities like tissue paper and

465
00:21:33.840 --> 00:21:36.419
other basic stuffs and another thing is

466
00:21:36.419 --> 00:21:38.340
that I will say they steal for the

467
00:21:38.340 --> 00:21:40.559
business of construction you know

468
00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:43.200
infrastructure development is really

469
00:21:43.200 --> 00:21:45.840
uh good practice here we are a

470
00:21:45.840 --> 00:21:47.880
developing country and different kind of

471
00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:51.240
groups like a keys or others are really

472
00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:53.100
doing great I mean they're running their

473
00:21:53.100 --> 00:21:55.500
business like it's a family Legacy I

474
00:21:55.500 --> 00:21:57.900
would say right interesting very

475
00:21:57.900 --> 00:22:00.419
interesting that's great

476
00:22:00.419 --> 00:22:02.539
um

477
00:22:05.400 --> 00:22:07.820
now we talk about the topic of business

478
00:22:07.820 --> 00:22:11.039
and we talked about whether you should

479
00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:13.919
work for a company or be an entrepreneur

480
00:22:13.919 --> 00:22:17.880
Abby said that people are laid off nice

481
00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:21.780
expression right to be laid off is to

482
00:22:21.780 --> 00:22:25.980
lose your job because of hard Economic

483
00:22:25.980 --> 00:22:29.880
Times right different from to be fired

484
00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:31.919
which means you lose your job because

485
00:22:31.919 --> 00:22:34.020
you're not good at it or you've done

486
00:22:34.020 --> 00:22:37.559
something wrong to be laid off it's just

487
00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:39.840
that the company cannot afford to keep

488
00:22:39.840 --> 00:22:42.659
you he then said something that made me

489
00:22:42.659 --> 00:22:45.600
smile because it's very colloquial and

490
00:22:45.600 --> 00:22:48.179
that was they are working their butt off

491
00:22:48.179 --> 00:22:50.700
to learn something new

492
00:22:50.700 --> 00:22:54.720
to work your butt off is to work very

493
00:22:54.720 --> 00:22:59.340
hard I smile because but is your bum or

494
00:22:59.340 --> 00:23:03.840
your ass so to work your ass off it

495
00:23:03.840 --> 00:23:06.840
means to work very hard I prefer working

496
00:23:06.840 --> 00:23:11.460
your butt off right but Double T it's a

497
00:23:11.460 --> 00:23:13.619
nice expression I think it's acceptable

498
00:23:13.619 --> 00:23:16.799
in IELTS speaking it is very colloquial

499
00:23:16.799 --> 00:23:19.619
I think it'll make your examiner Smile

500
00:23:19.619 --> 00:23:22.859
as it did me we moved on to talk about

501
00:23:22.859 --> 00:23:25.799
family businesses in your country in

502
00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:26.940
Bangladesh

503
00:23:26.940 --> 00:23:29.159
now he said something interesting and

504
00:23:29.159 --> 00:23:32.820
what I liked was the the word stress he

505
00:23:32.820 --> 00:23:35.820
said they are not that likely to start

506
00:23:35.820 --> 00:23:39.000
something by their own the stress on

507
00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:42.539
that they are not that likely meaning

508
00:23:42.539 --> 00:23:45.539
they're not very likely they're not that

509
00:23:45.539 --> 00:23:48.600
likely to start something by their own

510
00:23:48.600 --> 00:23:51.840
he said by their own it should be on

511
00:23:51.840 --> 00:23:55.919
their own right to do something on your

512
00:23:55.919 --> 00:23:59.520
own is to do it without help from other

513
00:23:59.520 --> 00:24:02.940
people but nice he then said talking

514
00:24:02.940 --> 00:24:05.460
about family businesses or I think or

515
00:24:05.460 --> 00:24:09.659
entrepreneurs I consider them a minority

516
00:24:09.659 --> 00:24:13.260
this is very very nice right I consider

517
00:24:13.260 --> 00:24:18.600
is I think they are a minority okay

518
00:24:18.600 --> 00:24:21.119
it means that it's it's similar to I

519
00:24:21.119 --> 00:24:23.220
think but it really means um you know

520
00:24:23.220 --> 00:24:25.200
I've thought about it and I've decided

521
00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:28.200
that this is like this so you could say

522
00:24:28.200 --> 00:24:31.260
instead of I think it's important I

523
00:24:31.260 --> 00:24:34.740
consider it important okay very very

524
00:24:34.740 --> 00:24:37.559
nice we carried on to talk about family

525
00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:39.720
businesses and he said

526
00:24:39.720 --> 00:24:43.080
um these businesses are run by families

527
00:24:43.080 --> 00:24:47.340
so to be run by or to be run is to be

528
00:24:47.340 --> 00:24:50.700
managed by nice I also like the fact

529
00:24:50.700 --> 00:24:53.220
he's using the passive right

530
00:24:53.220 --> 00:24:55.619
um so here we've got the subject plus to

531
00:24:55.619 --> 00:24:59.640
B plus the past participle by somebody

532
00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:06.480
right to be run by so the businesses are

533
00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:10.799
run by families meaning the businesses

534
00:25:10.799 --> 00:25:14.700
are managed by families lovely finally

535
00:25:14.700 --> 00:25:17.880
he talks about it's a family Legacy I

536
00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:20.880
would say so a family Legacy is

537
00:25:20.880 --> 00:25:23.820
typically the money or maybe the

538
00:25:23.820 --> 00:25:25.799
business or the assets or even the

539
00:25:25.799 --> 00:25:29.279
values that are passed down to the Next

540
00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:30.600
Generation

541
00:25:30.600 --> 00:25:33.359
so often a family business gets passed

542
00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:36.539
down to the sons and their children it's

543
00:25:36.539 --> 00:25:39.600
a family Legacy lovely and I also love

544
00:25:39.600 --> 00:25:42.659
the fact he said it's a family Legacy I

545
00:25:42.659 --> 00:25:44.460
would say

546
00:25:44.460 --> 00:25:48.480
meaning in my opinion it's very simple

547
00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:52.500
English but putting that at the end is

548
00:25:52.500 --> 00:25:55.320
actually very very natural English it's

549
00:25:55.320 --> 00:25:57.720
a family Legacy I would say

550
00:25:57.720 --> 00:26:01.580
beautiful very nice

551
00:26:05.520 --> 00:26:08.100
I'm very interested to learn a bit about

552
00:26:08.100 --> 00:26:10.559
you and learning English as well I mean

553
00:26:10.559 --> 00:26:12.240
you speak excellent English it's it's

554
00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:14.820
very clear you have a beautiful use of

555
00:26:14.820 --> 00:26:16.200
vocabulary

556
00:26:16.200 --> 00:26:20.179
how how did you learn English

557
00:26:20.340 --> 00:26:23.520
well I will say I learned all this from

558
00:26:23.520 --> 00:26:25.799
YouTube and listening to other speakers

559
00:26:25.799 --> 00:26:28.140
because yeah as I have mentioned I'm a

560
00:26:28.140 --> 00:26:30.539
great fan of speaking or providing or

561
00:26:30.539 --> 00:26:33.539
giving speeches down the road it's like

562
00:26:33.539 --> 00:26:35.340
my dream that I will talk in front of

563
00:26:35.340 --> 00:26:37.740
millions of people and for this reason I

564
00:26:37.740 --> 00:26:39.779
followed different kind of YouTubers and

565
00:26:39.779 --> 00:26:41.820
you are one of them you speak really

566
00:26:41.820 --> 00:26:44.640
great the way make us understand it's

567
00:26:44.640 --> 00:26:47.700
amazing so yeah I have also listened and

568
00:26:47.700 --> 00:26:49.880
I have lots of podcasts in my phone

569
00:26:49.880 --> 00:26:53.159
every like all the time I keep listening

570
00:26:53.159 --> 00:26:55.500
to that and every now and then I also

571
00:26:55.500 --> 00:26:57.299
visit different kind of English seminars

572
00:26:57.299 --> 00:26:59.700
I try to participate in English

573
00:26:59.700 --> 00:27:02.159
competitions and like there's a combined

574
00:27:02.159 --> 00:27:05.039
package I will say that's interesting so

575
00:27:05.039 --> 00:27:07.679
you're surrounding yourself with English

576
00:27:07.679 --> 00:27:10.140
um but you're also actively practicing

577
00:27:10.140 --> 00:27:12.299
like in competitions and things like

578
00:27:12.299 --> 00:27:15.059
that what about on a day-to-day basis

579
00:27:15.059 --> 00:27:19.279
how do you practice speaking day by day

580
00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:22.140
we talk about a day-to-day basis then

581
00:27:22.140 --> 00:27:24.000
I'm practicing I have one English

582
00:27:24.000 --> 00:27:27.299
partner yeah she's my companion and with

583
00:27:27.299 --> 00:27:29.460
her all the time whenever I get some

584
00:27:29.460 --> 00:27:32.159
time from myself we love who I love that

585
00:27:32.159 --> 00:27:33.840
time by practicing because you know

586
00:27:33.840 --> 00:27:36.419
we've I mean we belong from Bangladesh

587
00:27:36.419 --> 00:27:39.059
and our native language is Bengali so

588
00:27:39.059 --> 00:27:42.000
like to keep our practice like keep

589
00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:43.919
practicing every day we obviously need a

590
00:27:43.919 --> 00:27:46.380
partner and yeah like if we are not

591
00:27:46.380 --> 00:27:48.059
practicing every day because you know

592
00:27:48.059 --> 00:27:50.400
environment is the Invisible Hand That

593
00:27:50.400 --> 00:27:52.260
shapes our Behavior so without practice

594
00:27:52.260 --> 00:27:55.140
I may lose my skill what I have right

595
00:27:55.140 --> 00:27:57.240
now that's why I have to do that and I

596
00:27:57.240 --> 00:27:59.700
also listen a lot of English songs and

597
00:27:59.700 --> 00:28:01.279
podcasts

598
00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:03.539
interesting right yeah I mean we say in

599
00:28:03.539 --> 00:28:05.700
English you know if you don't use it you

600
00:28:05.700 --> 00:28:09.299
lose it it's very true right yeah I I

601
00:28:09.299 --> 00:28:11.580
also believe one of the Mantra which is

602
00:28:11.580 --> 00:28:14.159
execution is everything that's yeah

603
00:28:14.159 --> 00:28:16.020
that's so so true I mean it's lovely to

604
00:28:16.020 --> 00:28:17.460
hear you because you have you obviously

605
00:28:17.460 --> 00:28:19.260
have a lot of knowledge but if people

606
00:28:19.260 --> 00:28:21.240
don't activate the knowledge if they

607
00:28:21.240 --> 00:28:24.179
don't use it it just sits there and they

608
00:28:24.179 --> 00:28:26.700
can't speak because it's not coming out

609
00:28:26.700 --> 00:28:29.340
of the mouth so the activation is really

610
00:28:29.340 --> 00:28:32.580
important yeah I agree now you mentioned

611
00:28:32.580 --> 00:28:34.559
earlier when we were chatting that

612
00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:37.260
you've taken the IELTS test

613
00:28:37.260 --> 00:28:41.340
um why did you do that and how did it go

614
00:28:41.340 --> 00:28:44.580
well I did that because I have already

615
00:28:44.580 --> 00:28:46.799
mentioned because of my dream I want to

616
00:28:46.799 --> 00:28:49.020
speak a lot I want to speak English in

617
00:28:49.020 --> 00:28:51.360
front of millions of people and you know

618
00:28:51.360 --> 00:28:53.940
from Bangladesh and it's really hard to

619
00:28:53.940 --> 00:28:56.580
head up that accent when you are in an

620
00:28:56.580 --> 00:28:59.159
environment you can do that easily but

621
00:28:59.159 --> 00:29:02.039
for me it's like I have to work really

622
00:29:02.039 --> 00:29:05.100
hard for make for making things pan out

623
00:29:05.100 --> 00:29:07.740
without that it's not possible and I

624
00:29:07.740 --> 00:29:11.460
have taken as to just make people sure

625
00:29:11.460 --> 00:29:13.080
that to make sure that I'm doing great

626
00:29:13.080 --> 00:29:15.299
and I have learned about that that's an

627
00:29:15.299 --> 00:29:18.059
international standard test and if I'm

628
00:29:18.059 --> 00:29:20.100
doing that that's the first stage and

629
00:29:20.100 --> 00:29:22.320
that will be really good for me in

630
00:29:22.320 --> 00:29:24.000
future and in our country it also

631
00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:25.559
happens that

632
00:29:25.559 --> 00:29:28.080
and I mean like if you have a good

633
00:29:28.080 --> 00:29:29.880
efficiency in English you can have a

634
00:29:29.880 --> 00:29:32.399
good job as well so yeah so I have taken

635
00:29:32.399 --> 00:29:35.940
that and I made a score of 7.5 overall

636
00:29:35.940 --> 00:29:38.460
and in terms of English oh sorry in

637
00:29:38.460 --> 00:29:40.559
terms of speaking which is ready there

638
00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:44.340
to my heart that was eight Band-Aid

639
00:29:44.340 --> 00:29:46.679
well done you congratulations I'm not

640
00:29:46.679 --> 00:29:48.840
surprised actually that's great you have

641
00:29:48.840 --> 00:29:52.880
great fluidity and lovely vocabulary

642
00:29:56.240 --> 00:29:58.980
it's so interesting to listen how he

643
00:29:58.980 --> 00:30:00.960
learned English and let me just kind of

644
00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:04.679
summarize right how he has become such a

645
00:30:04.679 --> 00:30:07.140
confident speaker for me there are three

646
00:30:07.140 --> 00:30:09.539
things that are clear right they jump

647
00:30:09.539 --> 00:30:14.100
out that he has done first he uses a

648
00:30:14.100 --> 00:30:16.980
wide range of resources he mentioned he

649
00:30:16.980 --> 00:30:21.179
uses YouTube listens to podcasts he um

650
00:30:21.179 --> 00:30:23.460
goes to English seminars

651
00:30:23.460 --> 00:30:27.299
absolutely brilliant second he's highly

652
00:30:27.299 --> 00:30:28.700
motivated

653
00:30:28.700 --> 00:30:31.980
incredibly motivated right he says he

654
00:30:31.980 --> 00:30:34.140
wants to become a public speaker he

655
00:30:34.140 --> 00:30:36.120
wants to speak in front of hundreds

656
00:30:36.120 --> 00:30:38.940
thousands of people he also mentioned to

657
00:30:38.940 --> 00:30:41.039
me that he does like and wants to teach

658
00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:42.360
other people

659
00:30:42.360 --> 00:30:44.039
teaching is the best way to learn

660
00:30:44.039 --> 00:30:47.159
something so his motivation is is key

661
00:30:47.159 --> 00:30:49.440
and that's so important because you know

662
00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:51.419
sometimes work and study gets so

663
00:30:51.419 --> 00:30:54.179
difficult if you're not motivated you

664
00:30:54.179 --> 00:30:57.000
will give up so that high motivation

665
00:30:57.000 --> 00:30:59.820
makes him a good speaker finally number

666
00:30:59.820 --> 00:31:03.360
three he practices a lot right he

667
00:31:03.360 --> 00:31:05.640
practices with the partner every day he

668
00:31:05.640 --> 00:31:07.679
goes to these competitions and takes

669
00:31:07.679 --> 00:31:10.860
part in them and he also told me outside

670
00:31:10.860 --> 00:31:14.039
the conversation that he practices until

671
00:31:14.039 --> 00:31:16.919
the language becomes automatic and the

672
00:31:16.919 --> 00:31:20.279
ideas just flow so the practice is all

673
00:31:20.279 --> 00:31:22.320
important and all of this for me makes

674
00:31:22.320 --> 00:31:25.260
him such a confident speaker I didn't

675
00:31:25.260 --> 00:31:27.960
feel like he was a student trying to

676
00:31:27.960 --> 00:31:30.120
speak English he was just a confident

677
00:31:30.120 --> 00:31:32.480
speaker

678
00:31:35.640 --> 00:31:38.159
which could you share some tips right

679
00:31:38.159 --> 00:31:40.559
for students who are just starting to

680
00:31:40.559 --> 00:31:43.799
prepare for IELTS especially IELTS

681
00:31:43.799 --> 00:31:45.240
speaking are there any tips that you

682
00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:47.279
could share

683
00:31:47.279 --> 00:31:50.940
well I mean I have developed myself from

684
00:31:50.940 --> 00:31:53.100
the various crash that's why I can also

685
00:31:53.100 --> 00:31:55.500
share some of my experiences so the

686
00:31:55.500 --> 00:31:57.840
first thing I will try to or like to

687
00:31:57.840 --> 00:32:00.120
suggest to everyone is that create an

688
00:32:00.120 --> 00:32:01.200
environment

689
00:32:01.200 --> 00:32:03.779
whatever you love learn from that maybe

690
00:32:03.779 --> 00:32:05.520
you love to read books you can learn

691
00:32:05.520 --> 00:32:07.440
from there maybe you love to watch

692
00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:09.840
YouTube videos but I mean learn from

693
00:32:09.840 --> 00:32:11.940
there that's pretty effective because

694
00:32:11.940 --> 00:32:14.340
when you are happy your mind will work

695
00:32:14.340 --> 00:32:16.320
at its nicest

696
00:32:16.320 --> 00:32:18.600
and another thing is that practice a lot

697
00:32:18.600 --> 00:32:21.179
because you know a lot of thing and you

698
00:32:21.179 --> 00:32:23.159
are not trying to execute that on a

699
00:32:23.159 --> 00:32:25.020
regular basis you will lose as you have

700
00:32:25.020 --> 00:32:27.899
mentioned if you don't use you will say

701
00:32:27.899 --> 00:32:30.179
that's really true maybe it will sound a

702
00:32:30.179 --> 00:32:33.000
bit cliche but it's really true and the

703
00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:35.460
last one which is my personal tip is

704
00:32:35.460 --> 00:32:39.299
that don't like care a lot about answers

705
00:32:39.299 --> 00:32:41.279
or grammars or other things keep

706
00:32:41.279 --> 00:32:43.980
practicing okay so whatever you have in

707
00:32:43.980 --> 00:32:46.320
your mind try to just reflect that it's

708
00:32:46.320 --> 00:32:49.140
like you have creativity on your in your

709
00:32:49.140 --> 00:32:51.419
mind and just try to reflect that on

710
00:32:51.419 --> 00:32:53.520
your canvas that will be really

711
00:32:53.520 --> 00:32:55.620
effective in the long run

712
00:32:55.620 --> 00:32:58.020
because after all in different situation

713
00:32:58.020 --> 00:32:59.760
we need to deal with different topics

714
00:32:59.760 --> 00:33:02.520
like sometimes technology sometimes

715
00:33:02.520 --> 00:33:04.799
Transportation or business or any other

716
00:33:04.799 --> 00:33:06.960
thing and when you are really likely to

717
00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:09.419
share your own opinion naturally that

718
00:33:09.419 --> 00:33:11.159
will boost up your confidence and

719
00:33:11.159 --> 00:33:13.380
without confidence you cannot perform so

720
00:33:13.380 --> 00:33:15.480
that will be my tips and the last one

721
00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:18.179
but not at least I will try to mention

722
00:33:18.179 --> 00:33:20.279
is that don't learn huge amount of

723
00:33:20.279 --> 00:33:22.919
vocabularies because if I talk about the

724
00:33:22.919 --> 00:33:25.799
Asians we love to learn maybe one

725
00:33:25.799 --> 00:33:27.419
thousand or two thousand vocabularies

726
00:33:27.419 --> 00:33:29.220
but we cannot use that

727
00:33:29.220 --> 00:33:31.919
so I sometimes like it's like oh it's

728
00:33:31.919 --> 00:33:34.320
Buzzard I cannot use everything I have

729
00:33:34.320 --> 00:33:36.360
learned a lot but it's not working so

730
00:33:36.360 --> 00:33:39.299
don't do that learn little or smart

731
00:33:39.299 --> 00:33:42.059
amount of vocabularies like keep the

732
00:33:42.059 --> 00:33:44.940
push portion really low in the beginning

733
00:33:44.940 --> 00:33:47.760
learn some small things try to execute

734
00:33:47.760 --> 00:33:49.260
that you know when you are really okay

735
00:33:49.260 --> 00:33:51.600
with all the things you had then try to

736
00:33:51.600 --> 00:33:53.880
scale that over time learn more and more

737
00:33:53.880 --> 00:33:56.700
and use that I guess that's it that's

738
00:33:56.700 --> 00:33:58.980
fantastic and I I'm gonna say I totally

739
00:33:58.980 --> 00:34:01.380
agree with what you say I I love your

740
00:34:01.380 --> 00:34:03.960
ideas I think the focus on communication

741
00:34:03.960 --> 00:34:06.960
and creativity is really good because so

742
00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:09.839
many students block and stop because

743
00:34:09.839 --> 00:34:11.339
they're obsessed with the grammar

744
00:34:11.339 --> 00:34:12.780
they're trying to think about the

745
00:34:12.780 --> 00:34:14.940
grammar and they can't speak and the

746
00:34:14.940 --> 00:34:16.679
same problem with too much vocabulary

747
00:34:16.679 --> 00:34:19.739
they can't speak and they block and they

748
00:34:19.739 --> 00:34:22.800
stop speaking so I think your advice is

749
00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:26.099
um golden really nice very very good

750
00:34:26.099 --> 00:34:28.440
that's excellent I'd be I think we're

751
00:34:28.440 --> 00:34:30.060
going to wind up it's been really

752
00:34:30.060 --> 00:34:31.679
interesting conversation it's been

753
00:34:31.679 --> 00:34:33.540
lovely talking to you learning about

754
00:34:33.540 --> 00:34:35.639
your ideas on topics and also about

755
00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:38.399
learning English and I'm sure you will

756
00:34:38.399 --> 00:34:40.560
be um an inspiration for many many

757
00:34:40.560 --> 00:34:43.859
students not only in Bangladesh but I

758
00:34:43.859 --> 00:34:45.599
think in many countries around the world

759
00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:47.399
where they don't have an English

760
00:34:47.399 --> 00:34:50.460
environment and sometimes struggle I

761
00:34:50.460 --> 00:34:52.739
think your your advice and your speaking

762
00:34:52.739 --> 00:34:55.139
is great great lovely well listen thank

763
00:34:55.139 --> 00:34:57.239

778
00:35:34.200 --> 00:35:37.200
Abeer who got an eight in IELTS speaking

779
00:35:37.200 --> 00:35:39.719

780
00:35:39.719 --> 00:35:42.119

781
00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:43.380
environment

782
00:35:43.380 --> 00:35:47.160
learn from things that you love

783
00:35:47.160 --> 00:35:50.700
good practice a lot

784
00:35:50.700 --> 00:35:53.760
don't care too much about grammar just

785
00:35:53.760 --> 00:35:58.020
speak out your ideas okay yes grammar's

786
00:35:58.020 --> 00:36:00.599
important but don't think too much about

it

788
00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:05.280

789
00:36:05.280 --> 00:36:07.619
vocabulary right

790
00:36:07.619 --> 00:36:10.500
get a smaller amount of vocabulary but

activate it execute it use it that's the

792
00:36:14.880 --> 00:36:15.900
