  • So I've noticed that I don't know what you don't know.

  • Let me explain.

  • There are things that you don't know and I don't know what those things are.

  • And if I wanna help you as a teacher, I need to know about the things you don't know.

  • And if you saw the thumbnail, you'll see that I want to help you know what to say when you're at certain places or in certain situations.

  • And I want to help you know what to ask for when you're at certain places or in certain situations.

  • So let's do that.

  • And here's how I think we should do it.

  • I'm going to talk about four different places and you can think of more.

  • And as you think of those places, think of what you don't know about what you would say if you were at those places.

  • So the first one would be in a classroom.

  • What do you say when you're in a classroom?

  • What kinds of things do you ask for if you're in a classroom?

  • Put it in the comments below.

  • And then next week, I will try to answer as many of those questions as possible.

  • Think about when you're in a store.

  • What do you say when you're in a store?

  • Are there things you don't know how to say or how to describe?

  • Or are there questions that you don't know quite how to ask when you're in a store?

  • Put it in the comments below and I'll answer it next week.

  • Think about, let me see, another location.

  • Think about a restaurant.

  • Do you know what to say when you're in a restaurant?

  • If you don't have a menu and you need a menu, do you know how to ask for one?

  • And then lastly, think about being at someone's house.

  • When you're at someone's house, do you know what to say?

  • Do you know what kinds of questions to ask when you're at that person's house?

  • And then I thought we should think of some situations.

  • So there are different situations where you might not know what to say or what kinds of questions to ask.

  • Maybe you're on the phone.

  • I did a lesson about this a few weeks ago, but maybe you just don't quite know what to say when you're on the phone sometimes.

  • Ask me and I'll try to help you.

  • Another situation might be if a colleague gets a new haircut.

  • Do you know what to say?

  • Do you know how to give a compliment?

  • Or maybe you're making an appointment.

  • Maybe you're on the phone or you're somewhere in person and you're making an appointment.

  • Do you know what to say?

  • And do you know what to ask?

  • Or at least how to put the sentences together?

  • So here's the plan.

  • I've given you some example places and some example situations.

  • You can think of other places and situations.

  • And then in the comments below, say something like this.

  • When I'm making an appointment, I don't know how to say, and then explain what you don't know how to say.

  • When I'm at someone's house, I don't know how to ask for, and then list what you don't know how to ask for.

  • Maybe I don't know how to ask for another cup of tea, or I don't know how to ask for a spoon.

  • It can be as simple or as complex as you want, but put it in the comments below and then I will read through them.

  • And then here's how I will sort through.

  • When you look at the comments below this video, you will see that you can like the comment.

  • If you like the comment, it has more of a chance of being used in next week's video, where I talk about how to ask these questions, how to say what you want to say, and how to basically speak proper English in these places and situations.

  • So it's just as important for you to leave a comment as it is for you to read other people's comments and to kind of indicate whether you give it a thumbs up or not, whether you like it or not.

  • The questions and comments that have the most will be more likely to be answered or addressed by me in the next video, which will come out next week.

  • So what are we doing here?

  • I want to know what you don't know.

  • In order for me to know what you don't know, you need to put that information in the comments below.

  • Ask me about what to say in certain situations, the kinds of questions you would ask at different places.

  • And again, my examples are a good starting point, but you can ask about any situation or any place that you want, and I will try my best to answer them.

  • So good thing you watched to the end.

  • Now you have to think about, what am I gonna put in the comments below?

  • How many other people's comments am I going to read?

  • Hopefully all of them.

  • And give a few likes down there or thumbs up for the ones that you really hope that I will take the time to answer next week.

  • So thanks for watching.

  • I hope you are having a good day, and I'll see you in part two of this lesson.

  • I'll put a link up here next week as well, to that next lesson where I read the comments and try to answer them as best as possible.

  • Have a good week, bye.

  • Bye.

  • Bye.

  • Bye.

  • Bye. Bye.

So I've noticed that I don't know what you don't know.
