He was hoping you'd come by as a slutty nurse.

Actually, I'm just a nurse.

I think that would embarrass May.

But you see, I'm maxed out.

Wait.

You're supposed to wear a costume.

It is very common during this celebration toe wear a costume, which is a set of clothes worn to look like someone or something else.

Wait to see in your costume.

As you can see in this scene, this is not only in tradition for kids, but also for adults.

Which of these Fraser verbs is used to say that you will wear a costume?

All right, that's right later on in the scene.

Weaken him.

Monica asked Joey, why he's not wearing costume.

You didn't dress up here.

Yes, I did.

I'm Chandler.

Now.

Let's have a quick lesson on pronunciation Here.

We have a good example of connected speech, which is the way that natives connect their words together in order to speak more fluently.

You didn't dress up here.

Fraser Verbs consists of a verb and a particle.

Now verbs are content words.

This means native stress.

Them particles are function words.

They are unstrung est.

One thing that could make your speech sound unnatural as a non native is over stressing function words like the particles in Fraser verbs.

Let's take this phrase all verb dress up.

As an example, we stress dress on, don't stress up.

Furthermore, we connect the two, so instead of saying, dress up, we say, Dress up, Let's hear it again.

Fast and slow.

You wouldn't dress up here.

You recipe.

Do you find it difficult to understand far speaking natives?

What e give out candy trick or treating is a very common activity that began in the use a about 100 years ago.

Although the origin state back to 16th century Britain and Ireland, in which Children knock on the doors of houses on Halloween night and shout, trick or treat, This means that the person who answers the door has two options to give a treat such a sweets or candy or otherwise, they will get a trick.

A prank as a consequence.

Trigger entry.

Would you like some candy?

A drink?

Okay, places, places Tom in him.

If you there e give out candy.

I really wanna be with the kids right now.

Here we have another very common phrase.

All verbs that is used in this celebration.

If you want to say that you distribute things among a group of people, you can say that.

You give those things out.

As I was saying before, during Halloween, it is very common to give out candy.

Mhm.

Well, look at you guys.

Wow, you are a very scary Which do you know which of these means Skerry?

Yeah.

This'll is the spookiest warehouse in the world.

Kids, you don't believe me?

Just take a look.

As you might know, in theory, Halloween should be very scary.

However, it's common in the US to use this occasion just to wear a costume without giving much importance to the scary part of it.

This is one of the big differences between the celebration in the UK and the US.

Let's look at this funny clip from mean girls in which Katie goes to a Halloween party in the U.

S.

For the first time.

Hey, why are you dressed of Skerry?

A Halloween?

As you can see nowadays, it's very common to use this occasion to wear sexy costumes are not really scary ones.

Let's watch a bit more off the friends clip and you are a very funny clown and you are so in style right now.

E don't know.

No.

Oh, hi.

Joey is gonna be thrilled.

He was hoping you'd come by as a slutty nurse.

Actually, I'm just a nurse.

Here.

We can see China confusing moans costume as he says that she came dressed as a slutty nurse.

But actually, she was just a nurse.

This scene is humorous because the term slutty in normal context is very offensive, as it is used to say that a woman is promiscuous.

However, Halloween is celebration in which it's not a problem to wear sexy costumes on.

Many people choose to girl world.

Halloween is the one night a year when a girl could dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it.

Oh, my God.

You guys look adorable.

Thanks.

So do you.

Funny, kind.

No sexy cop.

Plenty cop only came with the skirt and two badges.

Okay, Mom, you cannot have a problem with this.

My mother Teresa.

Are you kidding me?

What?

I'm her back when she was hot.

I will cover you up.

Halloween is the eve of All Saints Day, which is not a very important celebration in the US, but it is a national holiday in some countries.

Now, another big difference between the UK and the US is the house decoration now in the U.

S.

People put a lot of effort into decorating their houses, whereas in the UK, this doesn't really happen that frequently.

The tradition of trick or treating only really became popular in the UK in the last 10 years or so.

To be honest, many families are quite afraid or a bit cautious off their Children, knocking on stranger's doors for candy or sweets.

In fact, some people will not even open their doors to trick or treaters.

However, if trick or treaters are welcome, some people might decorate their front door to show that they are welcome to knock on the door on, say, trick or treat.

In contrast, this is a very popular tradition in the U.

S.

On.

In fact, if you don't open your door to trick or treaters, can they might even egg your house and throw toilet paper at it.

Throw it like this in Scotland, it's very common for Children.

Thio do a performance or show a talent in return for some candy or some chocolate off sweets on.

What they tend to do as well in Scotland is they carve out turnips.

So you may have seen and heard that in the US they actually carve out pumpkins to make jack o lanterns.

This year, I decided to really get into the spirit of Halloween.

Okay, Theo, In the UK, we celebrate Guy Fawkes night or bonfire nights.

More on this happens on the fifth of November, which is the date in which Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the houses of Parliament and is also known as the gunpowder plot.

So, to commemorate this day, we actually celebrate with fireworks.

Tell me, do you know what day it is?

Evening.

Um, November the fourth.

Not anymore.

Remember, remember the fifth of November.

The gunpowder, treason and plot way on.

Now I want to hear from you.
