Hello everybody, welcome back to Reading for Vocabulary.
2
I'm Brian Stewart.
3
We're going over lesson 5 now.
4
The title for lesson 5 is Never a Warm Day.
5
Never a warm day?
6
Well obviously we're not talking about Korea because Korea has many warm days.
7
That's good, right?
8
We don't want to be cold all the time.
9
But we're talking about a place that never has a warm day.
10
So we're going to focus on, let's learn about the Arctic.
11
In the Arctic, there's never a warm day.
12
It's always cold.
13
So we're talking about geography that falls under social studies.
14
Well, first of all, let's talk about the Arctic.
15
As you can see, it's very cold in the Arctic.
16
Right?
17
Very cold.
18
Never a warm day.
19
It never gets very warm there.
20
It's always covered with snow and ice.
21
And the animals that live there are used to the cold weather in the Arctic.
22
Okay, let's begin with our vocabulary.
23
Frost just jumped on up in there.
24
A covering of ice.
25
So when it's really cold outside, right, and you can see the plants or the grass,
26
the trees are covered with a very thin covering of ice, we call that frost.
27
Frost is on the grass.
28
Frost is on the trees.
29
Frost is on your windows sometimes.
30
Okay?
31
So it's a thin covering of ice that covers things when it's very cold.
32
Number two, she must be a famous person, right?
33
She looks like a famous singer.
34
Liked by many people, of course I just gave you the answer, famous or popular.
35
I said famous before, it's a synonym.
36
It means the same thing, famous, popular.
37
Many people like that person or thing, it is popular or it is famous.
38
Number three, now imagine if you lived here, this is your dog and you live at a home near here.
39
The only way to get to your home is by boat.
40
That is a far away place or remote.
41
It is remote.
42
Remote means far away or hard to get to.
43
If you live on an island, you can't drive a car there.
44
There's no roads.
45
You have to take a boat.
46
It's far away from a city, so it's hard to get to.
47
It's remote.
48
Re-moat.
49
Remote.
50
Okay, next word.
51
What is she doing?
52
It's very strange, isn't it?
53
This woman is not common.
54
She's not behaving in a normal, common way.
55
It's not common.
56
If it's not common, it's unusual.
57
She's being very unusual here.
58
Most people don't eat their keyboards.
59
I don't recommend you to eat your keyboard.
60
I don't recommend that as a good practice.
61
So it's very unusual for someone to eat their keyboard.
62
We can also use another word, maybe you've heard before, weird.
63
Right?
64
She's being weird, strange, unusual.
65
Okay?
66
Okay, she's not common.
67
Okay, next one.
68
We have a nice picture here, okay, of a fortune teller.
69
To say that something will happen in the future.
70
Now the word I use to describe her, fortune teller.
71
In Korea, this is kind of a popular thing, especially if you go to the old parks around in Seoul or some of the places.
72
I think you say in Korean, 참장기, right? Is it true?
73
Well, you have to think about that, you have to judge for yourself.
74
Can you predict the future?
75
Okay, next one.
76
To give off light.
77
The sun, of course, gives off light.
78
Light bulbs in our house give off light.
79
What are What are they doing?
80
They are shining. To shine.
81
Shine.
82
Not sign.
83
Shine.
84
SH.
85
Sh.
86
Shine.
87
To shine means to give off light.
88
To give off light is to shine.
89
Shine is an irregular verb.
90
So we say shine, shown, shown.
91
Shine, shown, shown to describe this verb in the past, or this action in the past.
92
Okay, number seven.
93
Oh my gosh, I feel sorry for him.
94
He's very, very cold, isn't he?
95
Oh my gosh, he looks like an ice cube.
96
He's extremely cold, very cold.
97
真是很冷, right?
98
You say that,真是很冷?
99
Very cold.
100
What do we say?
101
There's another word, frigid.
102
Frigid.
103
Frigid.
104
If something is frigid, it's really, really cold.
105
Go into your kitchen, open your freezer, stick your head inside.
106
It's frigid.
107
Don't do that.
108
Your mom will get angry.
109
Okay?
110
But it's very cold.
111
Frigid.
112
Eight.
113
Something that is completely different.
114
Something that's different.
115
So some people say incinerator is good is good, other people say incinerator, no thank you, we don't want it.
116
So you have two sides.
117
You have maybe a pro and a con.
118
You have what other type of sides?
119
You can say opposite, opposite sides.
120
These people are on the opposite side, right?
121
Opposite, oppo-sit, oppo-sit.
122
So if an argument, you know, you have some people saying it's good, another person say it's bad, these are opposite sides.
123
Number nine, a person who visits a place for pleasure.
124
Where is this?
125
This looks like it's in Venice, Italy.
126
You can tell by the stripes on the shirts, that's their trademark.
127
Also of course they have the canals that go through the city.
128
Looks like Venice.
129
If you go to Venice and you go there to look around, wow it's really cool, people get by on boats, look at the buildings, look at the food,
130
let's experience a new place for pleasure, for entertainment.
131
Then you call that person a tourist.
132
You are a tourist if you go to these places for pleasure, to travel for pleasure, that is a tourist.
133
Okay, next one.
134
I'm sure you have some of these in your room, right?
135
I hope you do because books are good, right?
136
And a book of stories for children, we can call those what?
137
A book of stories.
138
We just use this word and we use this word and we put them together.
139
What do we have?
140
We have a story book.
141
So a story book of course is a book of stories.
142
It has a story or several stories in it.
143
It's a story book.
144
Next one, an area of the earth.
145
So an area of the earth, especially farmers use to grow crops.
146
What do we call it?
147
Of course, it's land.
148
They need land to grow food.
149
So an area of the earth is land.
150
The area around the North Pole.
151
Now, that's maybe a little hard to see, but if you look closely, you can start to recognize some of the shapes here.
152
This is North America here.
153
This is Greenland.
154
Greenland, it's not green, it's white.
155
But we don't say white land, we say Greenland.
156
Greenland.
157
That's history.
158
Okay, the Greenland and of course here we have the top of Asia.
159
This is Russia around here.
160
Korea is down over here.
161
So what were we looking at?
162
We're looking at the area around the North Pole.
163
What do we call that area?
164
There's a special word for it.
165
We already talked about it.
166
It's called the Arctic.
167
We don't really pronounce We don't say Arctic.
168
That's 힘들어, right?
169
We say Arctic.
170
Arctic.
171
We don't really pronounce the sea.
172
It's not Arctic.
173
It's Arctic.
174
Arctic.
175
Okay, Arctic.
176
That's the area around the North Pole.
177
It's very cold up there.
178
Next one, in the place of something or somebody.
179
In the place of something or somebody, it's kind of a difficult word, it is instead.
180
Instead of.
181
So instead of cars, these people are riding bicycles.
182
Instead of bicycles, these people are riding cars.
183
So, in the place of something or somebody.
184
If you say, not this one, but another thing.
185
Instead of this, then that.
186
Okay, next one.
187
Number 14, what we ride over snow and ice.
188
Now, in the Arctic, it's very cold.
189
You can't really make a road because it snows too much.
190
If you make a road, after a month, you can't see the road anymore anymore because it's covered with snow.
191
People don't have cars, they use these things to move around.
192
What are they called?
193
They're called sleds, a sled.
194
Maybe you have a sled.
195
When it gets cold in the wintertime, you might take a sled to the hill and ride down the sled for fun.
196
A lot of kids do that.
197
They ride a sled over snow.
198
In the Arctic, they use dogs to pull the sled and that's how they get around.
199
because cars are not very useful in the Arctic or very cold areas.
200
Sleds are better.
201
The next one, a small round house made of snow.
202
You've probably seen these before, right?
203
And when it's very cold, people will make these out of ice, they'll make them out of snow.
204
It's a little house, very interesting house, right?
205
How would you like to live there?
206
Maybe a little bit cold, but it's actually warm inside.
207
It's warmer inside than outside.
208
What is it called?
209
It's called an igloo.
210
Igloo, right?
211
An igloo is a house made of snow or ice in the Arctic or Antarctic. To sense sounds.
212
Now, of course, we have many organs in our head that we use to know what's going on around us, right?
213
When we use our eyes, we're seeing.
214
When we use our mouth, our tongue, we're tasting.
215
But when we use our ears, what are we doing?
216
Then we are hearing.
217
To hear is to sense sounds.
218
Right now you are listening to me.
219
You are hearing the noises, the sounds that I'm making.
220
Here is an irregular verb.
221
Hear, heard, heard.
222
So maybe you heard me yesterday too, also today.
223
Maybe you're studying very hard, right?
224
So here, heard, heard, we use heard to describe sensing sounds in the past.
225
Okay, let's go for the vocabulary exercises.
226
We have several words here.
227
We need to fill in the blanks.
228
Very easy exercise, right?
229
So we have our sentences.
230
We need to use these words to complete each sentence.
231
Let's go over the words.
232
The first one is frost.
233
Frost.
234
Then popular.
235
Then unusual.
236
Next one is shine.
237
Next one is frigid.
238
Opposite.
239
Next one is remote.
240
And the next one, predict.
241
Okay, so let's use these words to figure out how we can put them into the sentences.
242
Number one, I got cold.
243
I became cold because of the weather.
244
What kind of weather makes you cold?
245
Probably this word is what we're looking for, frigid.
246
Very cold.
247
Remember, frigid is very cold.
248
So if the weather is very cold, you become cold.
249
You will get cold.
250
I got cold because of the frigid weather.
251
Number two.
252
Oh, by the way, it's interesting.
253
This says, I got cold.
254
That just means you are not warm anymore.
255
But if you add one little word and you put a, I got a cold, it's completely different.
256
That means you get sick.
257
I got a cold.
258
I got a cold.
259
I became sick because of the frigid weather.
260
But if you don't use a, you just say I got cold, it just means your body was cold.
261
You didn't get sick.
262
You go inside, you get warm, no problem.
263
So sometimes in English, it's very important whether you use a or no a changes the meaning.
264
Okay, just a little note.
265
Number two, after the heavy rain, so after it rained very heavily, after the heavy rain, the sun began to what?
266
So after it rains, the clouds go away, you can see the sun, the sun begins to what?
267
Give off light, it begins to shine.
268
Okay, so the sun began to shine after the heavy rain.
269
Number 3.
270
The Arctic is a very big place.
271
Not many people go to the Arctic.
272
It's very difficult to live there.
273
Like I said before, you can't really build a road in the Arctic, so it's hard to get to the Arctic.
274
A place that is hard to get to is remote.
275
The Arctic is a very remote place.
276
It's hard to get to.
277
Number four, in winter his car window was covered with what?
278
I talked about this when we talked about this word.
279
When it's really cold outside, there will be a covering of ice on plants,
280
on grass, on your windows.
281
What do we call that ice?
282
We call that ice frost.
283
So, in winter his car window was covered with frost.
284
Okay, number five.
285
The beep of hot is cold.
286
Interesting.
287
Hot and cold, 반대로, right?
288
They are what?
289
They are opposites.
290
So the opposite of hot is cold.
291
The opposite of happy is sad.
292
The opposite of tall is short.
293
So the opposite of A is B.
294
That's a good thing.
295
Of course A and B are opposites.
296
Number 6.
297
I can't beep the result of the match.
298
The result of the match.
299
Match here means like game or contest.
300
For example, a soccer match.
301
Do you know who will win?
302
Sometimes it's hard to tell.
303
It's very difficult to know the future.
304
So, when you know the future, you probably don't know the future.
305
Of course, it's very difficult to know the future.
306
It's very difficult to know who will win the match, which team will win.
307
So it's difficult to predict.
308
I can't predict the result of the match.
309
I don't know.
310
I can't tell the future.
311
I'm not a Jum Jung Lee.
312
Okay, next one.
313
Number seven.
314
He is a very beep singer in Korea.
315
So we're looking for something that has to do with singer or entertainers or actors.
316
Of course if a singer is to be successful, many people have to like that person.
317
So if we're talking about somebody who is, many people like them, he is a very what?
318
He's a very popular singer in Korea.
319
And number eight, she is a girl with what ability?
320
She is a girl with some type of ability, the only word left of course, but also we're looking for something that makes her unique,
321
makes her different from other people other people.
322
She's a girl with unusual ability.
323
Of course, people with unusual ability could be a good thing.
324
Somebody who sings very well, that's not common, that's unusual.
325
Somebody who has a very good voice.
326
So somebody who has an unusual talent, they can become famous as an entertainer or in many other fields.
327
If you have an unusual ability to do math in your head,
328
you can become a scientist or a teacher or a mathematician.
329
So if you have an unusual ability, sometimes that's very good.
330
It's not common.
331
You should develop that ability.
332
Okay, anyway, that wraps it up with the vocabulary.
333
Let's take a short break now and we'll take a look at the reading section in a few minutes.

Why This Video Is Great for Speaking Practice
This clip is a goldmine for English learners because it blends real-world vocabulary with conversational tone. Brian Stewart’s explanations are slow, clear, and full of context—perfect for mimicking pronunciation and rhythm. Whether you’re prepping for IELTS speaking practice or just want to sound more natural, the mix of simple stories and word breakdowns makes it easy to follow and replicate. Plus, the focus on everyday terms like "frost" and "remote" helps build practical vocabulary you can use immediately.
Breaking Down Natural Speech Patterns
Let’s look at a few lines that sound effortlessly natural:
- "Well obviously we're not talking about Korea because Korea has many warm days." The filler word "well" and the casual "obviously" make this sound like a real conversation, not a script. It’s a great example of how to connect ideas smoothly.
- "Frost is on the grass. Frost is on the trees. Frost is on your windows sometimes." Repetition here isn’t redundant—it’s a natural way to reinforce a new word. Native speakers often use this pattern to clarify or emphasize, so mimicking it will make your speech feel more relatable.
- "If you live on an island, you can't drive a car there. There's no roads. You have to take a boat." Short, simple sentences linked by logic are key to clear communication. This structure avoids complexity, making it easy to follow and perfect for english speaking practice.
A Simple Shadowing Routine to Try
The shadowing technique (or "shadowspeaks") works wonders with this video. Here’s how to do it: Play a 5-second clip, pause, and repeat it immediately—try to match the tone, speed, and stress. Record yourself, then compare. Focus on phrases like "It's always covered with snow and ice"—notice how "always" is stressed to emphasize the Arctic’s climate. Do this for 10 minutes a day, and you’ll start to internalize natural speech patterns. This isn’t just for fluency; it’s also great for IELTS speaking practice, as it trains you to think and speak in real time. Remember, the goal isn’t perfection—it’s to make your speech sound more like a native.
Learning English with YouTube doesn’t have to be complicated. This video’s mix of vocabulary and conversational style makes it the perfect tool to boost your speaking skills. Give the shadowing routine a try, and watch your confidence grow!
Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
