1
Memes can be cringe, memes can be witty, memes can be funny.
2
But they're not usually noted for representing a 100 % accurate view of reality.
3
And yet now, we're literally living this meme.
4
New variant, surging cases, lockdowns and further restrictions, vaccination or another booster, slight reopen.
5
New variant, surging cases, lockdown and further restrictions, vaccination or another booster, slight reopen.
6
and further restrictions, vaccination or another booster, slight reopen.
7
New variant, surging cases, lockdowns and further restrictions, vaccination or another booster, slight reopen.
8
If the creators of Black Mirror remade the movie Groundhog Day...
9
Then put your...
10
They told us we had to learn to live with the virus.
11
Unless it's a new variant of the virus, in which case we can't live with it.
12
They told us we'd vaccinate our way to freedom.
13
Then they told us the vaccinations would never end.
14
There's not going to be an end point to this vaccination program.
15
So we only get our freedom back when the vaccination program ends.
16
And the vaccination program Never ends.
17
"There's not gonna be an end point to this vaccination program." Oh shit.
18
"But it's Christmas time, we'll be in line for a booster." "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
19
than there were in October.
20
The number of people in hospital primarily for Covid is down, 4214 in England, it's been below 5000 since 10th of November.
21
Guess it's time for another semi -lockdown then.
22
The government has announced England is moving into plan B of its winter plan.
23
Now is the time for plan B.
24
Plan B.
25
Plan B.
26
Plan B.
27
Plan B in England.
28
it would take them three weeks to have anything solid on Omicron.
29
But in the space of 24 hours, suddenly Omicron becomes a dire threat.
30
What changed of course was that Boris Johnson was in dire need of a dead cat moment.
31
They admitted to violating their own lockdown rules by hosting numerous Christmas parties.
32
While everyone else was under lockdown, while everyone else had to cancel their Christmas.
33
While some people lost out on a final chance to see their dying parents and grandparents.
34
And what was the response from the general public?
35
Well the message was clear, addressing the same government that made a mockery of lockdown rules They stood up
36
and loudly proclaimed "Lock me down harder daddy !" Comres poll:
37
69 % support vaccine passports compared to just 10 % who oppose the scheme, 74 % support working from home rule.
38
"Govern me harder daddy !" They're claiming post -pandemic stress disorder is now a thing.
39
"Then we told them the sudden onset of hundreds of thousands
40
of heart -related illnesses were due to post -pandemic stress disorder !" So what's this clamour for more restrictions all about?
41
"Demic Battered Wives Syndrome" These are people out there who are now absolutely certain
42
that the government has been relentlessly taking the piss out of them for 20 months, yet still strap a nappy to their face when ordered to by the very same government.
43
You're mad at a corrupt government for abusing its power when it comes to Covid rules, and your response is to reward that government with more power to abuse.
44
Gover me harder daddy!
45
You're angrier at the Tories for having a festive piss up during lockdown than the horrendous toll
46
that their lockdown policies are going to be a bit more difficult have had on this country.
47
740 ,000 missed cancer screenings, a devastating mental health crisis, largest ever recorded rise in alcoholism,
48
unprecedented assault on our freedoms, massive economic damage.
49
Man, I'm not bothered about any of that and you supported the cause of it, but some politicians having a cheese and wine knees up at number 10,
50
oh now we're mad, we have an opposition party calling for Boris to resign for allowing his government to flout Covid rules,
51
while they'll vote for Boris and his government to impose more Covid rules.
52
They're even saying Boris isn't going far enough.
53
If it came up for a vote, Labour would rubber stamp tattooing QR codes on kids' heads.
54
And what of the rules?
55
Well once again they're a shameful farce.
56
Their own internal study said Covid passports would achieve nothing and could even worsen the spread.
57
They achieved nothing in Wales, Scotland, Ireland and every other European country that introduced them.
58
Guess it's time to introduce Covid passports then.
59
Makes perfect sense.
60
Here's another one.
61
So you shouldn't go to work to be with your colleagues.
62
Apart from if it's a Christmas party, then you can be with your colleagues in closer proximity than you would have been
63
if you'd have gone to work with them.
64
Makes perfect sense.
65
You don't have to wear a mask in a packed pub on Christmas Eve in close proximity to everyone, but you do have to wear one while at a cinema sat in your own seat.
66
Makes perfect sense.
67
I guess the solution is just to lock down even harder and cancel Christmas entirely again.
68
They're already preparing the public for that in the media with Plan C.
69
"Couldn't kill this." "Here's my Plan C, swivel on it, you're never cancelling my Christmas again !"
70
And all of this is being imposed not because of public health or science, but because of politics, because they needed a distraction.
71
They're on the news telling you we need these rules to stop a dangerous rise in hospitalisation figures.
72
while literally standing in front of a graph showing hospitalization figures going down.
73
Oh but Omicron is gonna cause a million corona cases a day!
74
Yeah, say the same people who back in July said lifting the restrictions would cause 7 ,000 hospitalizations a day.
75
The restrictions were lifted and it never reached a thousand a day.
76
Why are we still listening to these people?
77
They have no credibility, they've been wrong every time!
78
And what of Omicron, the deadly new variant that has killed precisely Zero people in the entire world.
79
The WHO says preliminary data indicates hospitalisations across South Africa have remained low.
80
The load on hospitals is significantly lower compared to Delta.
81
Botswana where the variant originated has not seen a rise in Covid hospital admissions so far.
82
According to experts in South Africa the variant causes much milder symptoms.
83
The EU says cases are mostly mild.
84
Some experts even say we should allow the milder variant to spread to reach herd immunity.
85
Some even say this is good news and it could herald the end of the pandemic.
86
So why is our government formulating policy as if the situation was a hundred and eighty degrees the other way?
87
There is of course another possibility
88
that the Christmas party thing is a giant red herring and that the semi lockdown was planned all along.
89
Just as we knew back in summer 2020 that they were planning another lockdown in October.
90
Journalist Neil Clark predicted the January lockdown to the day of
91
and was out by just one day on the current semi -lockdown based on his inside source.
92
They appear to be working to a political timetable that's completely divorced from the data.
93
from the science that they so vehemently exalt.
94
They're not even bothering to cite data that supports their cause anymore, because such data doesn't exist.
95
Another thing that doesn't exist is any rational reason to continue listening to these clowns for a second longer.
96
And unless you want to be trapped in this never -ending circling of the drain of existence for years to come, it's time to say:
97
Enough is enough.

Почему стоит практиковать разговор с этим видео?
Просмотр и обсуждение видео, подобного "Living the Meme", может стать отличным инструментом для улучшения разговорного английского. В видео затрагиваются актуальные темы, касающиеся пандемии и общества, что создаёт естественный контекст для общения. Использование примеров из реальной жизни помогает вам не только запомнить новые слова и выражения, но и развить уверенность в разговоре. Это особенно полезно для практики разговорного английского, так как позволяет моделировать ситуации, с которыми вы можете столкнуться в повседневной жизни.
Грамматика и выражения в контексте
- Present Continuous: В видео много выражений, где используется Present Continuous для описания текущих событий, таких как "мы живём в этом меме". Это помогает понять, как использовать это время для описания происходящих действий.
- Условные предложения: Вы можете встретить конструкции типа "если это новый вариант вируса, тогда мы не можем с ним жить". Упражнения с такими предложениями могут улучшить вашу способность к формулированию условий и последствий на английском.
- Эмоциональные выражения: В речи используется множество ярких выражений, как "Govern me harder daddy!", что помогает понять, как передавать эмоции и иронию в языке.
Общие ловушки произношения
Произношение может вызвать трудности, особенно в словах, связанных с пандемией и ограничениями. Например, слова “booster” и “variants” могут быть проблемными для правильного акцента. Старайтесь повторять их несколько раз для лучшего усвоения.
Также, акценты на фразах типа “plan B” требуют особого внимания, так как в быстрой речи они могут сливаться в одно целое. Shadowing – это хорошая техника для работы над произношением. Вы можете попробовать shadow speak за диктором, фокусируясь на интонации и ритме, чтобы лучше разобраться в нюансах языка.
Используя shadowing английский при просмотре этого видео, вы обеспечите себе уникальный опыт, который значительно улучшит уровень вашего разговорного английского и уверенность на практике.
Грамматика в этом видео
Конструкции, которые говорящий использует чаще всего, с точными словами из видео:
| Конструкция | В видео |
|---|---|
| Present Perfect have/has + причастие прошедшего времени — прошлое действие, важное сейчас | has announced · has been · have gone |
| Пассивный залог be + причастие прошедшего времени — важно, что происходит, а не кто это делает | being imposed · were lifted · was planned |
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.
