Hi guys!

In this video we're going to look at words to describe everyday objects.

Some of these words are nouns and some are adjectives.

And because my viewers have different levels,

some of them are rather simple and some are quite advanced.

As usual, if you would like to subscribe to my free advanced English email lessons, you'll find the link in the description.

In the description you'll also find the link to my course on common mistakes.

You can receive my special discount for that if you follow that link.

First we have a couple of cushions.

Remember that there's a difference between pillow and cushion.

This is a pillow.

It's something that you sleep on.

A cushion is normally something that's decorative.

They come in all different shapes and sizes.

They can be much smaller than this or much bigger than this.

And they're not necessarily square.

This is square-shaped.

This material here looks like suede.

Suede is leather that's not smooth and shiny.

If something is shiny, it means it reflects the light.

So this isn't real suede.

This is what we call faux suede.

Yes, that word is pronounced faux.

It comes from French.

In English, faux means not real or fake.

It's something that's made to look real.

So this is made to look like suede, but it isn't.

It's faux suede.

The surface is soft, but you can also say that this is soft because it changes shape easily.

Yes, soft has a few meanings.

Here we have another cushion.

This is also nice and soft.

And you could say that this material is fluffy.

This is fluffy material.

Frank is also fluffy, but I wouldn't call Frank an object.

Frank is Frank.

And here we have a remote control.

This is the remote control for my reverse cycle air conditioner.

A reverse cycle air conditioner is one that can cool a room and also heat a room,

so you can use it in summer and winter.

Anyway, this remote control has various buttons.

These are buttons.

And a little screen.

It's plastic and it's smooth.

We would say that this is rectangular.

It's not technically a rectangular prism because this part here is curved.

A rectangular prism, strictly speaking, is a three-dimensional object with six faces that are rectangles.

This tissue box is closer to a rectangular prism.

Now this is made of cardboard.

Cardboard is similar to paper, it's just thicker.

You could also say that this is smooth and that it's colourful.

Colourful means with lots of colours.

Now we have a pen.

This is just a regular ballpoint pen.

It's called a ballpoint pen because there's a very small ball in the tip.

The tip is the very end of it.

This here is the lid.

Some people would call this a cap, but I call this a lid.

You could say either.

Um, now this is hard.

I mean, it's not soft.

If you bend it, it will break.

There's an example of the conditional.

If you bend it, it will break.

What else?

Oh yes, this dark bit here, That's the ink.

Ink.

So the ink is the colour that comes out.

Now this is quite thin.

This marker, on the other hand, is rather thick.

So thin and thick.

Here we have a battery.

Battery.

Yes, in the UK and Australia we often don't pronounce the E.

We say battery.

But you can say battery or battery if you want.

Now this is a cylinder.

That's the shape of it.

A cylinder is a shape that has a circle on the bottom and a circle on the top,

which are the same size.

The adjective of cylinder is cylindrical.

I mean, okay, technically there's this little thing on the top, but, you know, Basically.

It's a cylinder and you can say that it's cylindrical.

Cylindrical.

Uh, what else?

Uh, yeah.

I don't actually know what batteries are made of, but the outside, at least, is some type of metal,

so you could say that it's metallic.

Metallic is the adjective of metal.

This here is a diary.

Yes, I still use a paper diary to write down things like appointments.

You could say that this is rectangular, it's smooth...

It's quite smooth.

It's shiny and it has a little ribbon.

This thing here is a ribbon.

You can use the ribbon as a bookmark in the diary.

This bowl is made of chocolate.

Here we have a bowl.

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

That's it for today, guys.

182

I hope you found this educational.

183

If you would like to practice using some of these words, or if you'd just like to practice your writing,

184

go down to the the comments section and describe an object that you use on a regular basis.

185

Thanks very much for watching, guys.

186

I'll see you next time.

187

We often don't pronounce the E.

录下自己的声音并与原声对比，特别注意 suede, cylindrical, rectangular 这类单词。

什么是跟读法？

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
