Hi! Bob the Canadian here!
-
For this English lesson I thought I would ask you to tell me where you would like me
-
to go and then when I get there teach a little bit of English.
-
So on my Youtube community tab just a couple of minutes ago I posted the question, “Where
-
would like me to go today to help you learn English?”
-
So I got my phone here and we're gonna check for the first posting and we're going to
-
see where we are going to go first.
-
It looks like we're going to go to a nursing home.
-
So let's head out.
-
I got my keys.
-
I got my wallet.
-
I hope I have my wallet.
-
I got my phone and I'm ready to hit the road to help you learn just a little bit more
-
English.
-
So we're at our first stop on this learning English adventure.
-
The request was if I could go to a nursing home.
-
So this is a nursing home or old age home in my local town, and an old age home or nursing
-
home is a place where people go to live when they are older.
-
Usually after they have retired people will live in their own homes, when you're retired,
-
it means that you're not working anymore, but, at a certain point, when someone gets
-
to a certain age they will move into an old age home or a nursing home.
-
Usually they do this when they need a little more care.
-
Often in a nursing home or old age home there will be a nurse that's there every day and
-
there will usually be a doctor that visits once a week.
-
So that was the first thing, let me take a look at my phone and figure out where the
-
next place we're going is.
-
So I've got my phone out.
-
It looks like our next location is,”Maybe go to a financial area with many buildings.”
-
Well, I can't go to a financial area with many buildings, but we can go to a bank.
-
Let's go there next.
-
So we're at our next location.
-
My town doesn't have a big financial district with lots of big buildings, but it does have
-
a bank.
-
So you can see across the road here, this is one of two banks that are in my local town.
-
There's also quite a bit of traffic going by as well isn't there?
-
This bank is one of the local branches of a bigger bank.
-
So the Royal Bank of Canada is a very, very large bank.
-
If we were to go in this bank, which we're not going to do because banks don't like
-
cameras, in the entrance you would see that they have two bank machines, and if you go
-
into the bank itself, past the initial doorway, you will see that there are several tellers
-
working.
-
It looks like the next location that you would like to go to is, “Go to a nice park.”
-
We'll do that next.
-
Let's jump in the van and head over there.
-
So we're at our next location.
-
We're at my town's local park.
-
Now there are a couple of different kinds of parks in Canada.
-
There are parks that towns have where kids can come and play on the playground, and if
-
I spin around, I'm not sure you can see all of the soccer fields, but this park is
-
primarily used for soccer, or football as you might say in your country.
-
So we have parks where you can come and you can play on the playground, where you can
-
come and play soccer, where you can come and play baseball, but we also have a different
-
kind of park where you can go camping.
-
Usually those parks are found way outside of our towns and cities.
-
But, this was the next location.
-
This is a pretty big park.
-
If you're wondering why it's empty it's because it's the middle of the day, so most
-
people are at work right now.
-
If we were to come back tonight there would be lots of people playing soccer here.
-
So I got my phone out and I'm looking for our fourth location.
-
We'll do five total, but this is number four.
-
Many, many people are asking to go to a lake or to go to a beach, so let's go find one
-
of the Great Lakes.
-
It'll either be Lake Ontario or Lake Erie, but I'm not going to tell you until we get
-
there.
-
Let's go!
-
So we're at the lake but I'm a little bit sad today because the pier is closed,
-
so we can't walk out on the pier, and the other thing I'm sad about is, normally you
-
can see the CN Tower in Toronto.
-
We are on the opposite side of the Lake Ontario from Toronto and normally you can see clear
-
across the lake and you can see the CN Tower.
-
And I know some of you wanted to see that, so, it's a little bit foggy, it's a little
-
bit hazy and you can't really see the lake too well, but I will try to hold my camera
-
so that you can have a little bit of a look at Lake Ontario.
-
You can see a lighthouse over there, and in the distance you can see the shoreline.
-
So Lake Ontario is one of the Great Lakes.
-
There are five Great Lakes and Lake Ontario is one of the lakes that is really close to
-
my house.
-
The other lake being Lake Erie.
-
So anyways, there you go, some of you wanted to see Lake Ontario.
-
I think we have one more stop on this trip, and I think it might be Tim Hortons.
-
A lot of you have asked to see a Tim Hortons, so let's go to one.
-
Maybe I'll buy a coffee and maybe I'll buy a donut.
-
So you heard me say, “Tim Hortons”, and you might be wondering what is Tim Hortons.
-
Well, behind me you see a Tim Hortons coffee shop.
-
It is one of the most popular coffee shops in Canada.
-
Almost every town in Canada has a Tim Hortons.
-
They have really good coffee and they have really good donuts.
-
I think we should go in and buy one of each.
-
What do you think?
-
So a lot of people who have visited Canada or used to live in Canada will miss Tim Hortons.
-
So it doesn't surprise me that it is the most requested place that I visit today.
-
Many people who move overseas will miss their Timmies or their Tim Hortons.
-
So let's go in and give them a reminder of what it's like.
-
Yeah, could I get a small decaf coffee, and a chocolate dip… ah no, oh one sugar please,
-
and a chocolate dip donut.
-
Anything else?
-
No that's everything.
-
$2.87 please.
-
I'm just waiting.
-
Thank you very much.
-
So I got what I needed.
-
It should be fun to eat in a little bit.
-
That door is a little squeaky.
-
So, that was a fun trip.
-
I have my Timmies.
-
I have a donut and I have a coffee.
-
I hope you enjoyed this video.
-
I hope that you learned a little bit of English during this video.
-
I think I visited five places and I may have forgotten to explain enough English for you
-
to have a worthwhile English lesson.
-
But anyways, Bob the Canadian here.
-
Thank you so much for watching this video.
-
I hope that it has helped you learn a little bit more English and I hope you have a great
-
day, and I'm going to spend some time now drinking my Tim Hortons coffee and eating
-
my Tim Hortons donut.
