It's Elliot from E.

T.

J.

English, and it's great to be back.

Sorry about my absence, my time away absence.

I've bean away because I've been moving into a new apartment.

Uh, Andi.

It's taken me a while to get everything sorted.

Everything organized.

I've had Thio move in new furniture I've had to assemble, put together, make some furniture, which has been flat packed from places like Ikea on it takes quite a long time, and it's been quite stressful.

But finally I'm settled, comfortable on moved into my new house.

Now there's a few things I want to talk to you about.

Today I want to talk to you about some Fraser verbs and also some useful vocabulary you can use around the wintertime or things we use that you may know, understand.

Christmas is just around the corner in for those people who celebrated on in England is very, very cold at the moment, so there's a lot of things we have to do toe warm up, warm up.

What does that mean?

Well, that just means to make yourself warmer, so to make yourself warmer, you might put a fireplace on make the fire in your house heart.

If you have one, you might have to turn the radiators on.

There's a few different things that you might have to do toe warm up.

There's also one thing you could do toe warm up, which is you could wrap up wrap up.

Now this phrase a verb has two meanings.

Wrap up.

First of all, I'm going to talk about when you need to wrap up so that you can warm up or stay warm.

Keep hot and to wrap up means to wear lots of layers of clothes so you might wear a T shirt and then a jumper and then a coat and a scarf and a hat on.

These will keep you warm, and this is what we call wrapping up.

You can wrap up in the winter time to keep war.

England is a very cold country, especially at this time of year when we come closer to Christmas, so we all need to wrap up to stay warm.

So that's one phrase a verb for you right there.

But it has two meanings now.

Once again, Christmas or birthdays weaken.

Talk about wrapping up presents on this is when we put the paper around the presence we buy for someone on.

Then on Christmas Day or on their birthday, they might rip these presents open to see what is in there.

So we wrap up presence with seller Tate and paper so that it's a surprise when they open them so you can wrap up warm.

And you can also wrap up presence.

Also not really in England, but in a few places.

And it does happen in England.

Sometimes is when it snows.

Andi, Sometimes you can be snowed in, snowed in another Fraser verb there for you.

Ah, winter Fraser verb.

And it means to be stuck in your house because it snowed so much that you can't get out of your door or you can't drive your car tow work or you can't drive your car to school.

I've had this in the past where I couldn't get to school when I was younger because my mom couldn't drive me in because there was so much snow in the road.

I'd like to know, Have any of you ever seen snow before?

Do you live in a snowy country?

I was speaking to one of my students from Saudi Arabia the other day, and he said he's never seen snow before in his life on board.

It's interesting to find out things like this because I know what snow is.

I've seen snow because I live in a cold country on.

It's interesting to know that some people haven't seen it before, so please share in the comments below.

If you have experienced snow before, do you want to see snow?

One day when we're snowed in on the ice starts to melt slightly.

We might say that the snow is starting to die down to die down.

Another phrase of verb.

We can use this for multiple things, but in terms of snow, what we would say is that it's starting to melt.

It's starting to become less so.

It's dying down.

Imagine someone is slowly dying.

They're losing their life.

Very sad thing to think off that this is something we can also use in terms off, something that's becoming less.

It's dying down.

The snow is dying down now.

Another thing that might happen to you is that you might come down with a cold or a flu in the winter time in England.

When it gets cold, we start getting sick.

The weather makes you feel sick because of the change and everyone starts getting ill.

They get a cold.

I talked about colds and flues and sickness in one of my previous videos, which you can look at on this channel.

But you can come down with a cold, another phrase, a verb there to explain that you get sick.

It just means you could you could ring up your boss, for example, and say, Oh, I've come down with a cold.

I feel really sick.

And that means that you've become ill.

You've come down with something and you have a temperature thes fraser verbs.

They don't make sense when you think about them.

But when we use them, we understand them because we use them in our culture, in our language all the time on there so important you need to learn them.

I'm gonna teach you one new word today.

I think this one will be useful for your British English learning on it's the word chili.

So if you're starting to feel cold or if you feel cold, you could say, Oh, I feel a bit chilly today on.

That just means that you feel cold.

You feel a bit chivalry, you making your body shiver.

And that means that you feel cold.

You feel chilly now.

I hope these Fraser verbs and that little bit of vocabulary at the end was useful for you.

These are the things which really make you sound like a native speaker when you used these Fraser verbs, so make sure you study them.
