Hi guys!
2
In this video we're going to look at words to describe everyday objects.
3
Some of these words are nouns and some are adjectives.
4
And because my viewers have different levels,
5
some of them are rather simple and some are quite advanced.

9
First we have a couple of cushions.
10
Remember that there's a difference between pillow and cushion.
11
This is a pillow.
12
It's something that you sleep on.
13
A cushion is normally something that's decorative.
14
They come in all different shapes and sizes.
15
They can be much smaller than this or much bigger than this.
16
And they're not necessarily square.
17
This is square-shaped.
18
This material here looks like suede.
19
Suede is leather that's not smooth and shiny.
20
If something is shiny, it means it reflects the light.
21
So this isn't real suede.
22
This is what we call faux suede.
23
Yes, that word is pronounced faux.
24
It comes from French.
25
In English, faux means not real or fake.
26
It's something that's made to look real.
27
So this is made to look like suede, but it isn't.
28
It's faux suede.
29
The surface is soft, but you can also say that this is soft because it changes shape easily.
30
Yes, soft has a few meanings.
31
Here we have another cushion.
32
This is also nice and soft.
33
And you could say that this material is fluffy.
34
This is fluffy material.
35
Frank is also fluffy, but I wouldn't call Frank an object.
36
Frank is Frank.
37
And here we have a remote control.
38
This is the remote control for my reverse cycle air conditioner.
39
A reverse cycle air conditioner is one that can cool a room and also heat a room,
40
so you can use it in summer and winter.
41
Anyway, this remote control has various buttons.
42
These are buttons.
43
And a little screen.
44
It's plastic and it's smooth.
45
We would say that this is rectangular.
46
It's not technically a rectangular prism because this part here is curved.
47
A rectangular prism, strictly speaking, is a three-dimensional object with six faces that are rectangles.
48
This tissue box is closer to a rectangular prism.
49
Now this is made of cardboard.
50
Cardboard is similar to paper, it's just thicker.
51
You could also say that this is smooth and that it's colourful.
52
Colourful means with lots of colours.
53
Now we have a pen.
54
This is just a regular ballpoint pen.
55
It's called a ballpoint pen because there's a very small ball in the tip.
56
The tip is the very end of it.
57
This here is the lid.
58
Some people would call this a cap, but I call this a lid.
59
You could say either.
60
Um, now this is hard.
61
I mean, it's not soft.
62
If you bend it, it will break.
63
There's an example of the conditional.
64
If you bend it, it will break.
65
What else?
66
Oh yes, this dark bit here, That's the ink.
67
Ink.
68
So the ink is the colour that comes out.
69
Now this is quite thin.
70
This marker, on the other hand, is rather thick.
71
So thin and thick.
72
Here we have a battery.
73
Battery.
74
Yes, in the UK and Australia we often don't pronounce the E.
75
We say battery.
76
But you can say battery or battery if you want.
77
Now this is a cylinder.
78
That's the shape of it.
79
A cylinder is a shape that has a circle on the bottom and a circle on the top,
80
which are the same size.
81
The adjective of cylinder is cylindrical.
82
I mean, okay, technically there's this little thing on the top, but, you know, Basically.
83
It's a cylinder and you can say that it's cylindrical.
84
Cylindrical.
85
Uh, what else?
86
Uh, yeah.
87
I don't actually know what batteries are made of, but the outside, at least, is some type of metal,
88
so you could say that it's metallic.
89
Metallic is the adjective of metal.
90
This here is a diary.
91
Yes, I still use a paper diary to write down things like appointments.
92
You could say that this is rectangular, it's smooth...
93
It's quite smooth.
94
It's shiny and it has a little ribbon.
95
This thing here is a ribbon.
96
You can use the ribbon as a bookmark in the diary.
97
This bowl is made of chocolate.
98
Here we have a bowl.
99
A bowl.
100
This bowl is made of china.
101
China is the material that it's made of.
102
This bowl is very smooth and shiny.
103
It's round because it has a.. well, because the top is a circle.
104
And it's also hollow.
105
That means that you can put things in it.
106
There's lots of space inside.
107
I'd also say that this is fragile or a bit fragile.
108
If I dropped it on tiles, for example, it would probably break.
109
That's an example of the second conditional.
110
If I dropped it on tiles, it would probably break.
111
And now we've come to the most exciting part of the video.
112
This is a champagne glass.
113
And now that I hold it up to these lights, I realise that it's not totally clean.
114
But anyway, this is a champagne glass.
115
These tall ones, which are the most common champagne glasses nowadays, are called flutes.
116
This is a champagne flute.
117
Um...
118
This is made of glass.
119
It's hollow.
120
And because it's made of glass, it's also quite fragile.
121
If I dropped it on tiles, it would probably break.
122
And now some parts of the glass.
123
These words also apply to regular wine glasses.
124
This is the base.
125
This long, tall part here is called the stem.
126
This part is the bowl.
127
And the very top part is called the rim.
128
Rim.
129
We use the word rim for top parts of all glasses and bowls and things like that.
130
Next we have lip balm.
131
Lip balm.
132
Now the container is a cylinder.
133
Or you could say that it's cylindrical.
134
Cylindrical.
135
The outside is plastic.
136
Well, I think the whole thing is plastic and it's hard.
137
You can call this a stick of lip balm,
138
but technically stick refers to what's inside.
139
The.. the substance inside is a stick of lip balm.
140
Um, you can call substances a stick if they're shaped a bit like this and if they're quite firm.
141
So if they're not liquidy...
142
Now the container is called a tube.
143
Lots of medicinal and cosmetic products often come in containers that are called tubes.
144
This one has a twist base.
145
So if I twist it, the lip balm comes out.
146
Um, if that looks a little bit dirty, it's just because I sometimes put it on when I have lipstick on.
147
Now we have some lip gloss.
148
Lip gloss.
149
This lip gloss is also in a tube, but this is a soft tube.
150
The lip balm was in a hard tube or a rigid tube.
151
Um...
152
If it's a soft tube, we actually call it a squeeze tube or a squeezable tube,
153
because if you take the lid off and you squeeze it, if you press on it, the product comes out.
154
Ooh, like that.
155
Now we have some mascara.
156
mascara.
157
This is a tube of mascara.
158
But in reality, lots of people would call this a little bottle.
159
So you could say that this is a long, thin bottle of mascara.
160
If you you.. take the lid off, you can see the wand.
161
This part here is called the wand, just like a magic wand.
162
And speaking of bottles, here we have a little spray bottle.
163
This is Lens Cleaner.
164
You can use this to clean the lenses on your glasses.
165
The lenses are these parts here.
166
One lens, two lenses.
167
The other parts of the glasses, or the other parts altogether, are called the frame.
168
Frame.
169
Now this is called a spray bottle because if you take the lid off and press on it,
170
you spray the liquid.
171
And finally we have my laptop case.
172
As you can see, this is quite old, but it's still fine, so I'm not going to replace it yet.
173
As I said, this is a case, but The word case is quite general.
174
It's a container or a cover that protects something.
175
This type of laptop case can also be called a sleeve.
176
It's quite thin and it's not a bag, So you can call it a sleeve.
177
This laptop case has a zip.
178
This thing here is a zip.
179
You can also call it a zipper.
180
Zipper.
181

Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
