All right.

Elbette.

Hello.

Merhaba.

Today I have a special guest.

Bugün özel bir konuğum var.

Her name is?

Adı ne?

Samara.

What's your middle name, Samara?

Samara, ikinci adın ne?

It's Danielle.

Bu Danielle.

Danielle.

Samara, Danielle.

But we call her Samara.

Ama biz ona Samara diyoruz.

Do you have any nicknames, Samara?

Samara, senin herhangi bir takma adın var mı?

My friend calls me Ara.

Arkadaşım bana Ara diye sesleniyor.

I don't like Sam.

Sam'den hoşlanmıyorum.

I'm not a Sam.

Ben Sam değilim.

She's not Sam.

O, Sam değil.

Don't call her Sam.

Ona Sam diye seslenme.

Nobody say Sam in the comments.

Yorumlarda kimse Sam demesin.

Yeah. Or Sammy.

Evet. Ya da Sammy.

I'm not Sammy.

Ben Sammy değilim.

Not Sammy.

Hayır, Sammy değil.

What does your friend call you?

Arkadaşın sana nasıl sesleniyor?

uh she calls me era era oh that's cute samara era nice i like it

uh, bana 'era era' diyor. Ah, ne tatlı Samara era, güzel, beğendim.

and samara how do i explain samara's relation to me well it's a little complicated

Peki Samara'nın benimle olan ilişkisini nasıl açıklayabilirim? Biraz karmaşık.

but basically um her mom used to be married to my dad many years ago

Ama kısacası, annesi yıllar önce babamla evliydi.

so she was like my stepmom but now she's not married to him anymore.

Yani o benim üvey annem gibiydi ama artık onunla evli değil.

And she had a daughter, Samara.

Ve Samara adında bir kızı oldu.

And now how old is Samara today?

Peki Samara bugün kaç yaşında?

I am 12.

Ben 12 yaşındayım.

12 years old.

12 yaşında.

So technically, she's not my sister.

Yani teknik olarak o benim kız kardeşim değil.

But I think of her like, you know, like a half sister or something like that, because her mom was kind of like my second mom.

Ama onu, hani üvey kız kardeşim gibi düşünüyorum, çünkü annesi benim ikinci annem gibiydi.

So that's kind of the relation here.

İşte buradaki ilişki bu şekilde.

And she very kindly agreed to make a video with me and to showcase her natural English.

Kendisi de çok nazikçe benimle bir video çekmeyi ve doğal İngilizcesini sergilemeyi kabul etti.

She is a native English speaker from where are you from?

O, anadili İngilizce olan biridir. Siz nerelisiniz?

What is the state?

Eyalet nedir?

Oh, Maine.

Ah, Maine.

So you're from the state of Maine, which is where I'm from also.

Demek siz de Maine eyaletindensiniz, ben de oradanım.

Yes.

Evet.

Where is Maine in the United States?

Amerika Birleşik Devletleri'nde Maine eyaleti nerede bulunur?

It's in the eastern part.

Doğu kesiminde bulunuyor.

Yes.

And also it's like it's on the upper part of it.

Ayrıca, sanki üst kısmında gibi.

It's northeast.

Kuzeydoğuda.

Yeah, northeast.

Evet, kuzeydoğu.

Definitely.

Kesinlikle.

It's on the border of what country?

Hangi ülkenin sınırında?

Canada.

Kanada.

Canada.

Have you ever been to Canada?

Daha önce Kanada'ya gittiniz mi?

No, I have not been to Canada, but I've heard me neither.

Hayır, Kanada'ya gitmedim ama ben de duymadım.

Yeah.

Evet.

It's very strange that We're so close and we've never been there.

Çok yakınımızda olmamıza rağmen oraya hiç gitmemiş olmamız çok garip.

I know.

Biliyorum.

And I've been to places like further away. So yeah.

Ve daha uzak yerlere de gittim. Yani evet.

Samara has traveled to, she was in Puerto Rico where I just was.

Samara da seyahat etmişti, az önce benim bulunduğum Porto Riko'daydı.

She's been on cruises.

Gemi turlarına katıldı.

Yeah.

Where have you been?

Nerelerdeydin?

I haven't been like a lot out of the state, but most of my out of state stuff has been on cruise, like going to Puerto Rico and like San Juan and that kind of stuff.

Eyalet dışına çok fazla çıkmadım ama eyalet dışı seyahatlerimin çoğu kruvaziyer gezileriydi, mesela Porto Riko'ya, San Juan'a falan gittim.

Have you been to, did the cruise stop at Mexico or no?

Meksika'ya gittiniz mi, gemi yolculuğu Meksika'ya uğradı mı yoksa uğramadı mı?

The first one I went on did, this one did not though.

İlk bindiğimde öyle olmuştu, ama bu olmadı.

So you've been maybe to some islands in the Caribbean?

Yani Karayipler'deki bazı adalara gitmişsinizdir belki?

Yeah, definitely.

Evet, kesinlikle.

Okay.

Tamam aşkım.

Would you like to travel somewhere else?

Başka bir yere seyahat etmek ister misiniz?

I don't know.

Bilmiyorum.

I really like where I've been.

Bulunduğum yeri gerçekten çok seviyorum.

But probably somewhere like Hawaii.

I'd love to go to Hawaii.

I haven't been to Hawaii.

I'd love to go there.

So you like tropical places?

Yes, I like tropical.

I don't want to go and travel somewhere cold.

What do you think about living in Maine in general, like with the four seasons and the winter?

I really like it because it's definitely like

when you start to get sick of one season the other

one comes along like you have winter is pretty cold

and snowy and I like winter but then I'm definitely sick of it

and I'm really happy for when spring and summer come along

so it's nice with the four season change

because you kind of get some of everything so you like it

but you do prefer when it's warm yes I don't like

when it's humid I'm not like I like warm

but I don't like like crazy hot

but yeah I definitely prefer like warmer seasons like me yeah I think most people in Maine do prefer

when it's warmer here

but they they tolerate the winter definitely you find stuff to

do in the winter you like to go uh snowshoeing with probably with your dad

Kışın babanla birlikte kar ayakkabısıyla yürüyüş yapmayı sever misin?

and stuff yeah I go snowshoeing I really like I mean

Ve benzeri şeyler, evet, kar ayakkabısıyla yürüyüş yapıyorum, gerçekten çok hoşuma gidiyor yani.

my sister like makes snow forts this is it's really fun

Kız kardeşim kardan kaleler yapmayı çok seviyor, bu gerçekten çok eğlenceli.

and like obviously we have a tradition of like making snowmen and

Ve açıkçası bizde kardan adam yapma geleneği var.

that kind of stuff oh yeah she has a little sister

Bu tür şeyler, evet, onun küçük bir kız kardeşi var.

named Farrah who is seven right six six six years old I'll turn I will turn 13 in four months

Adı Farrah olan, şu anda yedi yaşında olan, dört ay sonra 13 yaşına girecek bir kız çocuğu.

and then she will turn seven in five months.

ve beş ay sonra yedi yaşına girecek.

Your birthday is in August.

Doğum gününüz Ağustos ayında.

Yeah, August 23rd.

Evet, 23 Ağustos.

Yeah.

Evet.

100

So basically Samara is being very like nice right now and chill and stuff.

Özetle, Samara şu anda çok nazik, sakin ve rahat davranıyor.

101

She's trying to, you know, speak in a nice way for you guys.

O, sizin için kibar bir şekilde konuşmaya çalışıyor, biliyorsunuz.

102

But sometimes Samara, when she gets, you know, excited about something, she talks really fast, super fast.

Ama Samara bazen, bilirsiniz, bir şeyden heyecanlandığında, çok hızlı, aşırı hızlı konuşuyor.

103

And I told her that my students, they really like to be challenged with real English.

Ve ona öğrencilerimin gerçek İngilizce ile meydan okumayı gerçekten sevdiklerini söyledim.

104

So I told her just be normal, talk as fast as you want

Ben de ona "Normal ol, istediğin hızda konuş" dedim.

105

but you can let let me know in the comments how you what you think about samara's english

Ama Samara'nın İngilizcesi hakkında ne düşündüğünüzü yorumlarda bana bildirebilirsiniz.

106

if you think that it's easy to understand her it's difficult

Onu anlamanın kolay olduğunu düşünüyorsanız yanılıyorsunuz.

107

because yeah people always say that they understand me

Çünkü evet, insanlar her zaman beni anladıklarını söylüyorlar.

108

but i want to bring on guests on the show to see how easy

Ama programa konuklar davet edip bunun ne kadar kolay olduğunu görmek istiyorum.

109

or difficult it is to understand them

ya da onları anlamak zordur.

110

so i'm going to pass you the mic and you can hold it

Şimdi mikrofonu sana uzatıyorum, sen de tutabilirsin.

111

and i want you to just tell me a little bit

Ve bana biraz bilgi vermeni istiyorum.

112

about about you about your your life here here on this this farm

Sizin hakkınızda, buradaki, bu çiftlikteki hayatınız hakkında, sizin hakkınızda ...

113

and what what you like to do and what are the things, you know, what do you do in a typical day here?

Peki, neler yapmaktan hoşlanıyorsun ve burada tipik bir günde neler yapıyorsun?

114

I definitely really like it here.

Burayı gerçekten çok seviyorum.

115

We have a lot of animals.

Çok sayıda hayvanımız var.

116

So a typical day is definitely taking care of them.

Yani tipik bir günüm kesinlikle onlarla ilgilenmekle geçiyor.

117

I go out and I feed the farm animals with my mom.

Annemle birlikte dışarı çıkıp çiftlik hayvanlarını besliyorum.

118

I feed the cats and then I have to hold my parrot a lot because parrots need a lot of attention.

Kedileri besledikten sonra papağanımı çok tutmam gerekiyor çünkü papağanlar çok ilgiye ihtiyaç duyuyor.

119

So your parrot?

Peki ya papağanınız?

120

Yeah, my parrot.

Evet, papağanım.

121

Her name's Kiwi and she definitely needs a lot of attention.

Adı Kiwi ve kesinlikle çok fazla ilgiye ihtiyacı var.

122

I like to hang out with the cats.

Kedilerle vakit geçirmeyi seviyorum.

123

So a lot to do with animals.

Yani hayvanlarla çok ilgisi var.

124

And then I also am a gymnast.

Ayrıca ben de bir jimnastikçiyim.

125

So I do gymnastics here, which is really fun.

Burada jimnastik yapıyorum ve bu gerçekten çok eğlenceli.

126

I kind of have like my whole little routine.

Benim kendime ait küçük bir rutinim var.

127

Yeah.

128

And I also really like doing art.

129

I was actually just about to get into a paint project.

130

So that's gonna be fun.

131

You like gymnastics a lot.

132

You're very passionate about that.

133

And painting also.

134

And being with your animals.

135

How many animals do you have here?

136

I think we have 46 or 47, which I cannot believe how little we have.

137

I cannot remember the last time that we were in the 70s.

138

And the number is so high because you have a lot of chickens, right?

139

Yes, we have 29 chickens, but we are hatching chicks.

140

We have five eggs.

141

So fingers crossed, some hatch.

142

They should hatch in like two days.

143

So I'm really excited.

144

Nice.

145

Yeah, she loves the chickens.

146

They all have names.

147

And they're all very unique because they're all different kinds of chickens, right?

148

They have different appearances.

149

yes we have yeah they're mostly different kinds you have like a few the same breed

150

but then with also like hatching chicks we have like some mixed breeds

151

and yeah they're really cute

152

and they all have their different personalities chickens are not just

153

like a lot of people think chickens are pretty like dumb

154

but they're actually they can be pretty intelligent

155

and I love their little personalities yeah yeah I agree I agree do you think

156

that they they have a bond with you like they they

157

um feel something toward you um I would say some do some are a little bit more leave me alone.

158

I think they definitely like us when we give them food.

159

They're like, yeah, we love you and you have food for us.

160

But some definitely are friendly and very affectionate.

161

Some you pet and you hold them and you touch them.

162

Yes, we have definitely a few who enjoy being pet and are very chill with being picked up.

163

And then we have some that are total spazes and just want to like be like, feed me, but leave me alone, please.

164

How would you describe What does a total spaz mean for someone who doesn't know English?

165

It means like they kind of like are skittish or like nervous, a little bit like crazy.

166

Like they like to kind of like run away from us and be like, leave me alone.

167

They go crazy if you try to pick them up.

168

Some some of them, maybe.

169

Yeah.

170

And you also have some goats and a pig.

171

Yes, I have six goats and I have a pig and I love them so much.

172

The pig is Pookie.

173

And then I have the six goats and I love all the goats so much.

174

The pig's name is Pookie, by the way, in case you didn't understand that.

175

You have a couple of dogs and three cats.

176

And yeah, I think that's a fish.

177

I think that's all the animals.

178

And I have two leopard geckos in my room, Nick and Lisa.

179

Ah, Nick and Lisa, the geckos.

180

Yes.

181

In her room.

182

Okay.

183

They're like...

184

I forgot about the geckos.

185

Yeah, they're like...

186

I think they're like eight.

187

They're pretty old now.

188

I named him when I was really tiny.

189

So they have classic names.

190

However, Nick may be a Nicole.

191

We don't know.

192

Oh, you don't know the gender.

193

Yeah, we know we know Lisa's a girl, but we don't know about Nick.

194

Okay, interesting.

195

What do they do all day?

196

Do they just chill out?

197

Nick, he is kind of lazy.

198

He's on the chubby side.

199

He just like likes to lay around.

200

And when it comes dinner time, he eats basically all the worms before Lisa can have any.

201

But that's why he's fat.

202

Yes, they definitely leopard geckos like chilling.

203

But Lisa definitely likes to walk around the tank a little bit more and like adventure more than he does.

204

Nice.

205

Something interesting about you also is that you do homeschooling or you've been doing homeschooling up until now.

206

And you are you're just completing now the end of the school year, like the sixth grade.

207

Right.

208

So next year, your plan is to do what?

209

My plan is to go to school in the seventh grade.

210

And I'm kind of nervous about it, but I'm also really excited.

211

So she's going to go to an actual school, not being homeschooled.

212

And you're going to like a small private school, right?

213

Yes, it is a very small private school.

214

I think there's only like 120 to like 160 students.

215

Pretty small, like 10 to 15 students in each class.

216

But I'm really happy because my best friend and little sister go there.

217

So it's going to be awesome.

218

And what was your reasoning for why you wanted to go there besides your friend

219

and your sister? um well i'm thinking

220

that once you go through school you can't try it

221

so i think because i've never gone to school

222

and i've always been homeschooled and i love homeschool so much

223

but i'd love to try going to school and see

224

if i like it and i'd love to have like a bigger friend group definitely

225

so for the experience to try it because you can't go back

226

and try it if you miss your chance

227

and uh to maybe make more friends yeah definitely but right now you have um you have your best friend, Autumn, her name is, right?

228

And you have your sister.

229

Do you have any other friends that you hang out with or is that mostly it?

230

Autumn is my best friend and she lives close.

231

So she's the one I hang out with mostly.

232

But I do have another best friend who lives, she sadly moved away.

233

Her name's Annika.

234

But we still see each other every once in a while, which is really nice.

235

But yeah, Autumn's definitely my main best friend.

236

All right.

237

Nice.

238

Yeah, I think it's good.

239

The social situations at school, because I went through all of the years of public school, sometimes it can be really great sometimes it can be not

240

so great depending on you know

241

but I went to a public school with you know a huge amount of students

242

and I think that a smaller private school I don't know

243

if it has to do with it being private

244

but just a smaller school with less people I feel like it's going to be better for for making friends

245

because because it's smaller so nobody gets left out like nobody gets forgotten about

246

and everybody like knows each other very well and stuff

247

so i think it's a good idea what do you think yeah i definitely think

248

that there's only like i walked around i got i got to see the sixth grade classroom

249

and i saw everyone in it

250

and it's a very small classroom there's only like i think it was like 10-ish people in it

251

so it's i think it's going to be easier definitely to

252

like you know what you said she said 10-ish we say

253

ish it's like uh about 10 about 10 10-ish could be

254

11 could be 9 somewhere around there you kind of round up to the closest number.

255

Sometimes we add ish to say like about that, you know, like, oh, this is, this is like grayish color, this thing.

256

It's a grayish, like kind of gray.

257

Yeah.

258

All right.

259

And so if you, if you like it there and you want to stay, could you, could you see yourself?

260

I mean, it's hard to know how you're going to feel, you know, in the future, but could you see yourself staying there, you know, up through until you graduate high school or, or what do you think?

261

I definitely can.

262

I think I'm going to see how this school year or like my the seventh grade goes, because my mom said, I want you to at least try out this year and then I'll see if I love it.

263

I'll keep doing it.

264

And if it's like, you know what, this was really like not for me.

265

I'll go back to homeschool, but I'm really hoping it works out and I get to go to there for longer.

266

Nice.

267

How far away is the school?

268

Is your is your mom going to drive you in the morning?

269

I guess my mom and my dad will drive me depending on who I am with.

270

It's like 20, 25 minutes away from my dad and it's like 30, 35 minutes away from my mom.

271

So relatively close.

272

Oh, yes.

273

We forgot to mention her.

274

Her parents are separated like mine are.

275

We're at her mom's house right now.

276

But her dad lives somewhere else like 30, 30 minutes away.

277

I think about like 40, 45 ish.

278

But yeah, pretty close.

279

OK.

280

Her mom is remarried to, I'll let you say.

281

Daniel.

282

I love him so much.

283

He is the best bonus dad ever.

284

Bonus dad.

285

and he's been in your life since you were very little

286

right yeah he's been in my life since i was like

287

uh three maybe about to turn four right around there

288

so yeah and he was just i immediately loved him

289

so much he's just the nicest guy yeah daniel's pretty great he is definitely

290

and he's the only one who he's the one giving you

291

my squishies in my squishy obsession my mom's like no

292

and he's like yeah i'll give you squishies yeah daniel likes to spoil everyone definitely Yeah, he likes to spoil my little sister too.

293

And for those who don't know, can you describe what the squishy is?

294

Squishies, there are several different kinds.

295

It's like a toy and it's really fun to squish.

296

They have like really nice textures, like slime.

297

Like they may have like slime in them or just really different fun textures.

298

May have like glitter or beads in them.

299

And I really love them.

300

And they're so cute and I love squishing them.

301

And I'm having a little collection now.

302

Are they all like dumplings or are they different things?

303

I have six squishy dumplings.

304

They're very viral right now.

305

But the others, I have 12 and the other six are different.

306

They can really be like they're probably every shape in the world.

307

Some are just like a square or like a cube, while others are actual things like butter or cheeses.

308

I love my cheese.

309

I love my cheese.

310

Okay, so they can be different things, but the dumplings are popular.

311

Yeah, the dumplings are probably my favorite.

312

Okay.

313

So if you didn't understand, to squish is like to do this to something.

314

It's like a specific kind of texture thing where you can go like this.

315

And she has some, I wouldn't say that they're like stuffed animals.

316

They're not like stuffed.

317

They're just like, yeah, they're like rubbery little creatures that are full of something that you can squish.

318

Yeah, the dumplings are full of water and they have like, well, some are full of water and have glitter in them.

319

And then others kind of have this stuff, kind of a whipped creamy texture in it.

320

And I really like that one.

321

So yeah, they can definitely have a lot of different textures in it.

322

And they're really fun to squish.

323

Okay.

324

They feel like fun to play with.

325

It's like a texture thing.

326

Yeah.

327

All right.

328

Nice.

329

Well, I'm going to take a look at my list here of some random questions to ask Samara.

330

We are filming outside.

331

It's pretty warm and my camera tends to overheat.

332

So it might just randomly shut off at some point.

333

So if that happens, it's okay.

334

We'll just cut it there.

335

We'll just end the video there.

336

So if the video ends abruptly, that's what happened.

337

But yeah, so I'm just going to ask you questions until maybe it dies

338

or maybe just a few questions until we get tired.

339

And yeah, so I'll ask you a question

340

and then you can take the mic and you can answer as long as you want.

341

Okay.

342

What's a movie or show you can watch over and over?

343

oh okay um there's this show series and it's called gymnastic academy

344

and i love it so much i've probably watched it like eight times over

345

and over again like i said i'm a gymnast

346

and it's all about gymnastics so i really love that

347

and it's it's really fun because it's like teenagers around my age

348

so that's when i can just like watch over and over again

349

and i love it

350

so much it's like one of my favorite shows that's cool it's like uh they're like competing or something um it's

351

The main character is named Kyra Berry, and she goes from the U.S to Australia for a three-month

352

training process to try to get a scholarship at the Gymnastic Academy for three years.

353

But is it like real life or reality show, or is it like fiction?

354

It is not cartoon.

355

It is like real reality kind of thing.

356

But I think it's based off a true story, but it's not actually like a true story.

357

Okay, I see.

358

So it's like a movie, maybe like there's a script, but it's based off a true story.

359

Yeah, it's a script because there was one before it.

360

It's called Gymnastics.

361

It's like a, it's the same thing, but it's just called Second Chance instead.

362

And that one was based off a true story.

363

I'm not sure if Gymnastics Academy is, but I think it might be.

364

Do you recommend that people watch it?

365

Is it entertaining?

366

Is it good?

367

Yes, I definitely recommend it.

368

It's probably more of a girl show, but I think anyone who wants to watch it, definitely watch it because it's really awesome and I love it so much.

369

All right.

370

And it inspires you to do gymnastics.

371

Actually, the whole reason I got into gymnastics was actually completely because of that show.

372

I had had no interest in gymnastics my entire life.

373

And then I watched that for the first time like six months ago

374

and now I'm just like got super into gymnastics and like trained myself and learned a bunch about it.

375

Amazing.

376

Yeah.

377

Before she started gymnastics class, she basically just trained herself a lot.

378

She taught herself a lot of things based off like YouTube videos and just practicing and stuff, right?

379

Yeah.

380

Like people telling me stuff, YouTube videos, that show definitely a lot.

381

I taught myself almost everything I know, but gymnastic classes have definitely helped me get correct posture and that kind of stuff.

382

And you're only in the beginner class, but like there's other levels you're going to you're going to keep advancing.

383

Yes, there's beginner advanced pre team and then you're actually on a team.

384

Yeah.

385

And I'm really I'm definitely really loving it.

386

And you told me that you're one of the best ones in your beginner class.

387

I don't want to brag, but I am one of the better ones in the class, which was really thanks to my training,

388

because if I hadn't, I would have been the worst one there.

389

And then because of the training, I came in being one of the better ones.

390

But there are definitely people who are better than me in the class.

391

And have you made friends with any of them, like to the point where you would hang out outside of gymnastics or not yet?

392

They're Elin.

393

I would have hung out with her because we were like we're best friends in the class.

394

But she went away.

395

She's going away to summer camp for four months.

396

So that kind of ended that.

397

But she's coming back or she says she is.

398

I hope she will.

399

Nice.

400

Cool.

401

Is there something like some other hobby or anything that you if you would like to try or you're interested in, but you haven't done it yet?

402

I don't know if there's another hobby that I haven't tried that I'd like to do.

403

My other hobbies are like I do soccer.

404

I love soccer, but I've done that.

405

And then like, yeah, most of my hobbies, I think I've already done that I'm interested in doing.

406

All right.

407

Nice.

408

And anything else like in life in general doesn't have to be like a like a hobby

409

or something it could be like oh I you know I would like to see New York City

410

or what like anything

411

that you would like to do I would like to learn how to bake a pie I don't know anything

412

that you would like to do at some point in the

413

future baking is one of my hobbies I love baking

414

so I'll become a better baker but then a lot of the things

415

that I would like to learn how to do have to do with gymnastics like I am

416

so close on a back walk over or like a front walk over

417

or front handspring and I'd just love to learn how to do those that'd be really awesome.

418

I love it.

419

And she sends me videos, you know, because most of the time I'm not here right now.

420

I'm visiting, but most of the time I'm, I'm out of the country and Samara texts me.

421

She sends me videos of her at her gymnastics classes and doing the different things.

422

And yeah, it's very entertaining for me.

423

I love it.

424

I love getting the videos.

425

I'm glad.

426

Yeah.

427

I sent you, I remember I sent you, I was like, yeah, I got that polo from the bar because I was so happy.

428

Yeah, it's awesome.

429

It's my favorite reality show I watch.

430

I'm so glad.

431

All right.

432

What quality do you most value in a friend?

433

I, in a friend, value probably kindness.

434

I definitely love, like, that's something I look for in a person.

435

But I really like one of the best qualities is if they're funny.

436

I love funny friends, but funny in a kind way.

437

But I love when you get comfortable enough of them where you can make jokes that are, like really funny.

438

But yeah, kindness, funniness, creativity.

439

Like I like creative friends and my friend Autumn definitely is.

440

We like the same stuff.

441

We both love swimming and we always come up with all these very creative, fun games that we do and we're always like laughing so hard.

442

You think Autumn has these traits that you value in a friend?

443

Yes, I would definitely say she is funny, kind and creative and she is also strong and smart and she's amazing.

444

Oh, that's so cute.

445

I wish I had a best friend like that.

446

I don't have one.

447

Well, it's partially my fault because I always travel around so much.

448

I never stay anywhere to make friends.

449

Next one is who has influenced you the most in life?

450

Well, so many people, so many people.

451

I'd have to say my parents, like my mom, my dad, Daniel, Kelly, definitely.

452

Kelly is your dad's partner.

453

Yes, Kelly is my dad's partner.

454

They definitely have all inspired me so much.

455

And then like coming back to gymnastics, like Simone Biles, she's like such a great gymnast and she's definitely inspired me to be a better gymnast.

456

Simone Biles is cool.

457

Yeah, she's awesome.

458

She's like won so many Olympic medals.

459

Yeah, it's amazing.

460

Yeah, gymnastics is super cool.

461

Also, it's very good for us, I think, to stretch, to be flexible, to be mobile, move our bodies.

462

I think as we get older, as we age, to be able to move our bodies still like in those ways, I think is very good for our health.

463

So this is this is a great thing for you to practice your whole life, even if it's like not, you know, not competitively, but even just like by yourself at home.

464

I mean, a lot of adults, they do yoga, which is like has similar things.

465

So, yeah, it's a really cool hobby.

466

I'm glad you like it.

467

Thank you.

468

All right.

469

Maybe we'll do one more question and then we'll end it.

470

All right.

471

Unless there's anything else you wanted to talk about or anything that crossed your mind.

472

All right.

473

What is, oh, this is a funny one.

474

What's something you believed as a kid or when you were younger that turned out to be totally wrong?

475

If you can't think of anything, don't worry about it.

476

Um, let's see.

477

Like, for something, I think when I was little, I believed in, like, lying a lot, I guess.

478

I was definitely a fibber.

479

Now I, like, can't even lie.

480

But, like, yeah, I like to sneak around a lot.

481

I remember one time there was a peanut butter cup, this really yummy candy on the island.

482

And I was like, oh, if I eat it, someone's going to notice.

483

So I took a bite out of it and then left it, which was like way more noticeable.

484

And I was so sneaky.

485

I thought I was like so awesome.

486

And it was like, that's pretty obvious.

487

That's just one of my mischievous things I do.

488

So you used to tell some fibs.

489

A fib is a little lie, like a small lie, white lie, we say.

490

So you used to be a fibber, used to lie a little bit.

491

Yeah, I used to do like harmless little lies, but I thought it was like so clever back then.

492

Now, now I really can't lie.

493

It makes me feel sick.

494

Yeah, same.

495

It's very hard to lie.

496

But yeah, a lot of little kids, they don't realize that the parents can obviously see that it's a lie.

497

And they think they'll get away with it.

498

So they tell little lies.

499

It's funny.

500

Yeah, it's cute.

501

Then when you get older, you also have like the conscience that makes you feel guilty when you lie.

502

And when you're little, you don't really have that.

503

That's good.

504

You developed the conscious conscience to not lie that's good

505

because some people don't ever develop

506

that some adults are out here lying yeah some people gets

507

worse slowly the lies build they just get better at lying

508

and it gets crazy yeah i didn't rob the bank exactly

509

so i'm glad that um that's not you all right well i said

510

that was the last question but i want to do one more

511

so i'm fine what's a challenge you're proud to have overcome there's definitely a few one is

512

that when i was younger i was very not okay with being left alone at all

513

and i've definitely overcome that where i'm okay to be like yeah i'm fine

514

if i like left a home alone with farrah like it's

515

okay now another one definitely with gymnastics getting better gymnastics i overcame a lot there overcoming

516

that when i was younger i struggled with reading a little bit.

517

Not like badly, but I'm the kind of person that I have to want to do it.

518

And if I don't want to do it, I'm not going to try to do it.

519

And then it just like, I found a book that I loved and it took off.

520

And now I'm like, like I read way above my grade level.

521

So yeah, it's awesome.

522

Wow.

523

So you went from not wanting to read

524

or having resistance to reading to being like a better reader

525

than than normal for your for your age yeah yeah it

526

was kind of way in steps where I wouldn't read

527

and then I was definitely not that good at reading

528

and then I was kind of like average

529

and then I just there I found came across some books like Wings of Fire I love the Dragon books

530

and then like Keep It Together Keiko Carter Just Be Cool Jenna Sakai

531

and those are long chapter books and I just fell in love with them

532

and now I just like read all the time like ninth grade level So, wow, that's awesome.

533

That's amazing.

534

And I know, well, when I was here in past years, you were always listening to the audio books.

535

You always liked that.

536

You always liked, I think you always liked books, but you would spend more time maybe listening to them.

537

Maybe now you read more of them.

538

And you also always liked writing.

539

You like to write your own stories, right?

540

Yes, I love the audiobooks.

541

And my dream job, which I hope will become true, is I want to be an author.

542

100%.

543

Language arts is my favorite subject in school.

544

I love writing so much.

545

I'm currently working on two books.

546

One, somebody said, hey, I want you to make a story out of this.

547

It's called Gnome's Adventure.

548

And then the other, I am like 70 pages in.

549

I'm writing it by hand.

550

And I just came up with this.

551

It's about a girl called Paisley, like managing middle school, kind of.

552

And I just I love writing.

553

I don't know what it is about it, but I love it so much.

554

Wow.

555

Amazing.

556

I love it.

557

I'm excited to read your book someday.

558

Yeah, I will buy your books as soon as they're published.

559

Well, even before they're published, I'll buy them.

560

I'll read them.

561

Yes.

562

You'll have the privilege of being from the first ones before they're even published.

563

Yeah.

564

Before anyone knows her, before she becomes famous, a famous author, I will read her books.

565

That's awesome.

566

My mom was like that.

567

She always wanted to write books, but but she well, she wrote one she had one

568

but um i think she wanted to do more but

569

but yeah i think you got the you got

570

that spark you got that fire

571

and you should definitely do it thank yeah thank you everyone always says like you have

572

that talent that you can really bring it to life

573

and i can picture it perfectly and i hope that's really true

574

because yeah like i said is i love writing i definitely

575

want to make more books um the one i'm working on

576

right now with paisley um it's going to be a series

577

of three i'm only on the first book right now

578

580

And the second one's going to be managing middle school.

581

582

So you have big plans.

583

You already got it all planned out.

584

Amazing.

585

Yes.

586

Yeah, I definitely have the names planned out.

587

I plan a lot, but I'm one of the kind of authors

588

that more of I have an overall vision of where I want the book to go.

589

But I'm more right in the moment.

590

I don't plan things out like as much as some authors would.

591

See where it goes.

592

Yeah.

593

Nice.

594

That's that's amazing.

595

You have you have a vision and I'm here for it.

596

I love it.

597

Awesome.

598

Well, hopefully one day I'll be able to announce on this channel

599

that she has a book available to read and you guys can read it and practice your English reading.

600

So that's it.

601

I think we'll end it there.

602

Thank you, Samara, for coming on the show.

603

Thank you for inviting me.

604

Oh, sorry.

605

I didn't put the mic.

606

It's okay.

607

Thank you for inviting me.

608

What was she saying?

609

She didn't put the mic.

610

Thank you for inviting me so much.

611

It was such an honor.

612

Thank you.

613

Oh, isn't she great?

614

Can you believe she's 12 years old?

615

Well, she's going to be 13 in August.

616

Yeah, she's so grown up.

617

I can't believe it.

618

Because last time I was here, you know, she was like a couple years younger, a few years younger.

619

And so I'm amazed every time I come here to see the growth.

620

And so, yeah.

621

So we're going to go.

622

I'm going to let Samara go and get back to her life.

623

And thank you for being here.

624

Tell me in the comments what you thought about her English, like how easy or difficult it was for you.

625

I think it was pretty good.

626

Samara has like, I would say she has a standard American English accent, which I think that I have too.

627

A lot of young people, younger generations, they have this accent.

628

Our grandparents have like a more like traditional main accent, but the younger generations I think don't really have it so much anymore. So strongly.

629

Yeah, definitely.

630

Do you agree?

631

Yeah, I'd say I don't think of myself having an accent because everyone talks, but obviously from someone who speaks another language, probably sound like an accent.

632

But like, I definitely think of my grandma having an accent, very manner accent.

633

Yeah, we a lot of the young people, what we have is the I call it the standard American English accent.

634

You know, it's the accent you hear when you turn on the TV.

635

And it's, you know, what what most people have, like younger people and what they have on the news.

636

But yeah, a lot of our a lot of our older generations are grandparents and stuff that, you know, have spent their whole life in the state.

637

And they they are from a different time before the Internet and before, you know, certain things in the modern world, they have a more...

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?

Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
