Hi this is Tutor Nick  P and this is Adjective Phrase 17. The adjective phrase

today is old-school. Okay. Let's take a look at the note here. If we say that

someone is old school,  it is used in an approving way. Yeah. Usually we like,  like

this or like this about the person. A way to refer to someone or something that is

old-fashioned or traditional. Yeah. So I guess it kind of alludes to the idea

this was the old way that you learned how to do things and you believe in,  you

trust that way more. You're still old school. You still prefer to follow that

way or that way of thinking. So let's look at the first one. Example number one

here. My girlfriend's parents have old school thinking. If I sleep over her

house we must sleep in separate rooms.  Yeah. They still believe this is the

traditional way. You're not supposed to be in the same room or sleep in the same

room until you're married or something like that. Okay. Or let's look at number

two. Her uncle is very old-school in regard to money. He never spends money he

doesn't have and he refuses to even own credit cards. Yeah. That's kind of rare

today. That you find somebody that doesn't even have a credit card anymore.

But maybe he believes that's not the way.  He prefers the old way. The traditional

way. Okay and number three. That teacher prefers to still use old-school methods.

Yeah. We often hear old-school methods.  In that way maybe she thinks the old way is

better than some of these new ways that they're telling her to do it. Anyway,  I

hope you got it. I hope it was clear. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
