    I smiled when you said you have cold hands and it means a warm heart, because I feel I am the same, plus my feet are also very cold, my mum calls them "frog feet", so I always wear a fluffy, warm socks on them, in every season except very hot weather.
    Thank you for your lovely videos, I am a big fan of them.🥰

    4:15 as everyone knows, snow has insulating properties, hence the expression "blanket of snow" making sense. The adjective "clad" is often used to refer to that as well.

    • @EnglishLikeANative
      @EnglishLikeANative  Рік тому +1

      Yes, "clad" is often used to describe a blanket of snow due to its insulating properties. It is a great way to describe the way snow can cover and safeguard the ground from cold temperatures.

    Hi teacher, thank you for your marvellous lesson. My favourite phrases are: To be under the weather and snowed under. I am freezing, wrap up warm. Teacher to be honest I don't know why I like these words. I like just hear them sounds nice in my hears.

    • @EnglishLikeANative
      @EnglishLikeANative  Рік тому

      Thank you for your appreciation! It's great to hear that you like those phrases. They are both very useful and can be used in a variety of situations. To be 'under the weather' is often used to describe when someone is feeling ill, while 'snowed under' is used to describe having too much work to do. 'I am freezing, wrap up warm' is a helpful phrase to use in colder weather to remind people to stay warm.

    Hello Anna!
    This video is fascinating!
    I enjoyed it a lot.
    Greetings from Chile.
    Chile is the Latin American country with the most British ancestry.
    Reason why, Chile is the Latin American country with the highest per capita cosumption of tea.
    And also, it is the only country in Latin America where the cosumption of tea exceeds that of coffee.
    We Chileans love to drink tea at any time of the day. In the morning, in the afternoon at night…
    We usually drink approximately 4-5 cups f tea daily.
    And just like in the UK, here in Chile we also drink milk tea. Although, not all Chileans like.
    Some prefer tea without milk.

    • @EnglishLikeANative
      @EnglishLikeANative  Рік тому +1

      Thank you for your interesting facts about Chile and its tea drinking habits! I find it fascinating that the consumption of tea is higher than coffee in your country. It is clear that the British influence is still strong in Chile! Do you have any other interesting facts about your country's culture or traditions related to tea? I would love to learn more.

    • @Nati__1987
      @Nati__1987 Рік тому

      ​@@EnglishLikeANative It is said that it was a British sailor who gave a packet of tea to a neighbour in the city of Valparaíso.
      In the past, here in Chile people used to drink yerba mate. There are still some Chileans who consume it.
      The British instilled in our country the custom of drinking tea. Because they didn’t really like drinking yerba mate.
      Another reason why tea consumption became very popular here in Chile, is because in 1767 there was a tax on the consumption of yerba mate, in order to pay for the construction of the Cal y Canto bridge. Therefore, the British, who were already installed in a large part of Chile, took over the importation and distribution of tea in our country.

    Hey, how's it going. Thanks for your deep dive into winterish topic. I like the phrase, "to add fuel to the fire". There's another expression, "to add insult to injury " and I wonder if we can use it in the same context? For my liking they are fairly similar to each other in terms of their meaning. Best of luck with your podcasts, cheers!

    • @EnglishLikeANative
      @EnglishLikeANative  Рік тому +1

      Thanks for the suggestion! I love the phrase "to add insult to injury" and I think it can definitely be used in a similar context. I think it works well because it implies that the situation has already been bad, and it's only getting worse as more and more fuel is added to the fire. So it has a similar meaning to the phrase I mentioned, but with a slightly different emphasis. Thanks again for the great suggestion!

    ~~~~ Marieke ~~~~
    When the yellow-eyed owl
    At night August middle
    With a long, sounding wail
    Is calling for her male
    The good people in town
    With a happy smile on
    Are aware that this call,
    This is not the night owl ...
    They say: "Look, this is Marieke
    Who has found another dick
    The lure of the gamekeeper
    It's a true woodcock trapper".
    Parishioners say, adjusting their hood
    It's the only thing that does her good".
    And when the winter comes
    Under the first snowfalls
    With a blow of a knife
    We are bleeding the swine
    Is it the beast dying
    From whom come these loud shrieks?
    These heard behind the church
    Don't fool the worshipers;
    They say: "Look, this is Marieke
    Who has found another dick
    It's that of shepherd Hendrick
    It's a good change from his sheep".
    Parishioners say, putting back their hood
    It's the only thing that does her good".
    She brought to Africa
    Her husband Joshua
    Who thought he heard at dusk
    An elephant barrum
    But this long savage cry
    That ferocious clamour
    The village warriors
    They just knew it by heart
    They said: "Look, this is Marieke
    Who has found another dick
    For sure the great sorcerer's
    Who stirs her couscousmaker
    In unison they said, striking their bamboos
    "It's the only thing that does her good"
    In a transatlantic
    Once on their return trip
    They came across whales' flocks
    Chanting their cries of love
    But in the dusky night
    These supplicated cries
    Sailors recognised them
    As well as the yachtsmen
    They said: "Look, this is Marieke
    Whom the Captain is teasing
    in principle, at this time
    He makes her smoke from his pipe".
    Resigned sailors said looking at the floods:
    "It's the only thing that does her good"
    Feeling that death is near
    She said to her lover
    I want an oak coffin
    With sweetcorn all over
    This innocuous prayer
    Was certainly answered
    From then on at the vault
    When you hear a chuckle,
    They say: "Look, this is Marieke
    Who has found another dick
    Her lovers they were not wrong
    She can make dead get hard ons".
    Parishioners say, putting back their hood
    It's the only thing that does her good".
    Yet this dissolute life
    Has brought her to the sky
    To face wraths and thunder
    Of the good old Father
    By the porter received
    She shouted a long cry
    As she grappled his beard
    But then the Angels smiled
    They said: "Look, this is Marieke
    Who has found another dick
    It's Saint Peter probably
    Trying out his master key".
    And the Good Lord said: "Holy cow!
    I will have to try this somehow".
    The Good Lord said quite in the mood:
    "This can only but do me good!"

    I don't think that the problem with sugar resides in eating fruits or rice or potatoes. It's good to have it in your diet because we need carbohydrates fir our brain and muscles. The real problem is the sugar in sweets like candy 🍬 or 🎂 or biscuits and spoons in the tea or coffee or sugared drinks or alcohol. They could be really toxic for our body so it us good to eat it with caution. I am well aware, of course, that is difficult but I think that if you eat a sweet in the weekend you enjoy it more than if you eat it every single day. Believe me, I have a very sweet tooth myself, but I think it's the best way to cope with this sweet "weakness".

    • @EnglishLikeANative
      @EnglishLikeANative  Рік тому +1

      That's an excellent way to approach this issue. I think it all comes down to moderation, and by restricting our sugar intake to the weekends, we can enjoy it without the worry of overdoing it. That being said, it's still important to be mindful of the sugar in fruit and other carbohydrates, as it can still have a negative effect on our health if we consume too much. I think it's also important to look for healthier alternatives to sugary snacks, such as dark chocolate or dried fruit. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
