Thank you very much for watching, everyone! Here are a few more of my POLITE ENGLISH videos: · 10 ways to say NO in English (politely!) ua-cam.com/video/ewz30PKCnzI/v-deo.html · POLITE ENGLISH: 9 phrases for getting out of trouble ua-cam.com/video/9egKQOrPKsI/v-deo.html For extra help, visit my website: HoneYourEnglish.com
3 Years ago I remember being pretty bad at English. So I searched "English Lessons" on UA-cam. I watched like dozens of English Learning channels. And I came across this. Benjamin's English. I watched many videos and took many quizzes of yours. I felt something different. And that something was the connection between the teacher and the student. I loved it. I loved every thing about you. And now here I am looking at your videos and looking at my past. 3 years means nothing but the things I've learn over that 3 years means everything to mean. Obviously I'm not 100% at English. But can not thank you enough for giving me the encouragement that I was looking for. -Sudhara
Thank you, Benjamin, for offering this excellent presentation. One observation yours truly would like to point out about accepting criticism, in general: We have so ingrained the word "sorry" within ourselves, that we express it - out of habit - every single time, and at every situation. Thus: It has lost its true meaning along the way. Saying "sorry" to our loved ones, or to those who oversee our work, is one thing. Saying it to each and every person who crosses our path, is quite another. Why should we feel sorry when listening to another person's casual point of view - or criticism - about our work, if we have done it in good faith, with all our heart, and if there has been zero physical/emotional irreversible damage inflicted/involved to her/him, or to any third party? We are always prone to find disaffected people, who will find fault at everything, and at everyone. We will find people who will criticize out of envy and spite. And: Even if the criticism were to be done with a true/honest heart, why should we apologize, if what we accomplished turned out to be far from the liking of another person? Why should we hold our work accountable to someone else's casual opinion? Do we have to know any better, all the time, and under every circumstance? Is the other person's judgment of us always accurate? We have to be honest to ourselves: Criticism takes a toll on us. It does hurt, and for a long time. We add insult to our injury by saying "I am sorry". Expressing our thankfulness, and being open to enhance/improve our performance, will evince our maturity, good nature and willingness, to those who offer casual criticism. We will be standing tall by doing this. Belittling ourselves by saying "Sorry" every time, will show others we feel insecure about what we are doing, and will further compound their criticism upon us. Thank you, once more, for your brilliant work, and for allowing yours truly to express his point of view.
Thanks Benjamin, It's pleasure learn amazing teacher you (Emma, Gill, you and others). Sorry for my poor English writing, due to my langue is Spanish. But sometime I will do it.
Could you tell a little about the constructions with "through" you use in these sentences: "We are going to be describing through the senses", "We are going to talk through some different kinds of instructions"? Are those the same? If yes, is there a general form? As I can understand, the first sentence means "We are going to describe what we perceive by the senses". The word "through" in that context took me by surprise, is there a pattern I can follow to use the word this way? Much obliged!
First example through means 'by using' - it's like we are looking out to the world, taking in the information THROUGH the senses and then describing by placing imaginative emphasis on the information perceived by the senses. Second example is different - you could replace the word through here with 'over'. Talking through something is a phrasal verb, it means to cover a subject in all it's detail. Hope that helps.
@@engvidBenjamin Sure , And i look forward to hearing more from you such interesting And expressive (sometimes they go wild …) classes … coz Its a matter of fact you are damn good british Man! 👊 🍪☕️ -meanwhile 😉 Or Not …🤔
Hi everyone, hi Benjamin, as always it was useful and easily digestible lesson. Thank you for your efforts. I understand that you are not a person who is responsible of making quizzes but I was slightly confused with few of them. I believe there are more possible and correct answers. For example in the first one. "It's really nice to know I'm on the wrong path" would be good as well. 3td one. I do not really see a big difference between these "What about if" & "To be honest, what if" Maybe except that the latter one sounds more polite and serious. The last question in the quiz was really funny for me. The correct answer in my native language (verbatim) means kinda like: "Sorry if you felt that way but I don't give a toss about that. There are plenty of our customers who have loved it and rated it highly." All the best for everyone reading this comment.

Hey Emad! I would love to know your opinion about my videos. I have recently started teaching on UA-cam! Let me know what you think!
