  • hi there I'm drew badger the world's number one english fluency guide and it

  • is a pleasure to welcome you to the series that just helps you understand

  • everyday objects and things but in this video

  • this was another requested video that was about can you please describe a

  • celebrity

  • so I thought I would talk about Donald Trump since he is in the news lately and

  • you will be hearing about him

  • probably for the next few months regardless if he becomes the next

  • president of the United States or not

  • so we're going to look at Donald Trump and i'm going to describe him as a basic

  • speaker an intermediate speaker and then it advanced speaker

  • let's begin so looking at this picture of Donald Trump you can see he has maybe

  • a not-so-happy face so he doesn't look very happy

  • he usually looks like this may be a confused expression and he has an

  • interesting haircut you can see he has maybe blondish hair

  • I don't know if it's his real hair or not some people say maybe it's his real

  • hair

  • maybe it's not his real hair but that's a basic definition of just what Trump

  • looks like

  • so if you were to describe somebody to say well it's somebody that has a baby

  • sad expression or angry expression on his face and he has interesting blonde

  • hair that's combed over

  • so this is a comb-over so he has an interesting comb-over typically a

  • comb-over is when you have your hair growing along on one side and then you

  • brush it over to cover a bald spot something but Donald Trump has an

  • interesting we've of here it's almost like a like a bird nest something like

  • that anyway so that's a basic definition of Donald Trump

  • so now we're going to get a little bit more intermediate and hopefully by using

  • this this description

  • you could actually tell someone that this is donald trump without them

  • looking at the picture

  • so if I'm describing this in an intermediate way i might say okay I'm

  • thinking of a guy he has kind of a maybe a

  • a sad or angry face or you could describe this as a scowl SC 0 WL scowl

  • so he has a maybe I can do a really good Trump impression but that's basically

  • how he looks so he has a scowl on his face and he's always thinking about

  • business and how we can do things and you know whatever he's imagining for the

  • presidency

  • assuming he becomes president so we'll see maybe he will become president maybe

  • he will not but Donald Trump or the the man i'm thinking of so yes I'm

  • describing Donald Trump but he has kind of a comb-over of blonde hair it almost

  • looks like it's a it's a weird woven hair style if it's real but it's a

  • blonde hair cut and it almost looks like a like a soft helmet is like a helmet on

  • his head maybe it's a no hopefully it's real hair

  • but if not it doesn't really matter so Trump also typically has it looks like

  • he was in a tanning booth

  • so he's a pretty white guy but maybe as a kind of white around his eyes and the

  • rest of his face is a little bit darker

  • maybe he goes to the tanning salon so that is a in an intermediate definition

  • or an intermediate way of describing Trump but now i'm going to talk of maybe

  • a little bit about how it looks but maybe about his face and maybe some

  • history behind that phase

  • why he has that expression so I don't know anything about Donald Trump

  • personally really I've never read any of his books and I don't really I mean I've

  • never spoken with him personally either but anyway here's a more affluent way of

  • describing him

  • so right now we're looking at Donald Trump and you can see he has a really

  • interesting hairdo hairdo

  • so clearly he spends a lot of time at the hairdresser or wherever he goes to

  • get his hair fixed like that because clearly he has many woven parts to his

  • hair and it really looks like a piece

  • honestly so a piece is what we would call a toupee or a hairpiece so a piece

  • like p I ECE a piece on his head

  • so it looks like a piece a lot of people think it is a piece but who knows I

  • can't say for sure

  • he also has looks like he has a mask on because he often get stands i'm guessing

  • just by the way his skin looks so the area around his eyes is a little bit

  • lighter than the rest of his face and you can see that maybe he has a scowl

  • because maybe he's not quite happy with how it looks

  • or actually recently maybe I don't remember how long ago it was but

  • recently he was outed

  • so to be outed by something means that you have a secret told about you

  • it was outed that his book the art of the deal was ghost written by someone

  • else so this is another really interesting phrasal verb or action a

  • phrasal verb but an interesting phrase or in an interesting way of describing

  • someone that writes a book for someone else

  • so a ghost writer so right to like writing writing a book a ghost writer is

  • someone that will write a book for you but will give you the credit so if you

  • pay the money

  • so this person who is the ghost writer for that book the art of the deal

  • he got like half the money half the royalties from the book but he recently

  • came out any out at Trump saying like I can't believe this guy is going to be

  • President are running for president so the guy that wrote the book for Trump is

  • saying that maybe he won't be a good candidate for the presidency of the

  • United States and maybe that's why Trump has his patented scowl

  • the last thing I'll mention about this to talk about having a patented

  • something

  • so when you produce a product maybe you have a particular like an iphone

  • something like that you have a particular feature or a physical thing

  • about the shape of a device you can patent that it means you can tell the

  • government hey I created this this is my invention and no one else can use this

  • without my permission

  • so this is my patented thing but if you have a patent in the kind of everyday

  • sense of the word to patent something or if you have a patented expression

  • this just means that you have something that's particularly you so when you

  • think of Donald Trump you think of the haircut and the patented frown or the

  • patented scowl

  • that usually makes so if you have a friend that always as a kind of dance or

  • something like that for years like a patented way of moving or a patented

  • expression

  • anyway that's the advance for the fluent way of describing Donald Trump and

  • hopefully you can think of a few more things to describe as well but just get

  • specific so pick something even looking at his hair you can describe the color

  • of it the shape how it was done there are lots of interesting things you can

  • use to describe that but the more you take time to practice describing things

  • like that

  • the more it will help you express yourself fluently so right now I'm not

  • reading from a script I don't have anything i'm using i just am really

  • thinking about what i want to say but as I say it

  • and so that's the kind of way that if you can practice doing that you

  • you really just try to think of different ways of expressing thing

  • different ways of expressing things and then practice doing that and that's

  • what's going to help you get flowing faster if you enjoyed this video to hit
