Animals are fantastic. Sometimes more than people. And I'm just curious, like we we talked a little bit about animals last time, but that was more of a.00:00:45KevinPhobia things you were scared of.00:00:47JackYeah, yeah.00:00:48발표자What? What kind?00:00:50KevinOf pets. Did you have growing up? What kind of pets do you have now? What? What are your favorite animals?00:00:57KevinFor a pet of.00:00:59JackSure. When I was growing up, we had a dog. He was a golden retriever and his name was buddy. Buddy is buddy. Means friend in English like my buddy, my friend. And it's a very common pet name.00:01:08KevinBye bye.00:01:16JackUsually for for male dogs. And yeah buddy was.00:01:20KevinSo I'm kind of curious just to break. Sorry, I'm I'm curious to hear from our listeners really quick what are common pet names in your country?00:01:27KevinBecause buddy, like just friend, is a really common name for pet names there, but I've I've never heard of any, you know, like Korean pet names where it's like, hey, chingu like, I've never heard that as a pet name. But you're right, that is a very common American dog name anyway.00:01:39JackYeah, yeah.00:01:42JackYeah, amigo. Amiga. Yeah, that was. That's interesting. I wonder.00:01:46KevinSo tell tell me more about buddy.00:01:48JackYeah. So my parent, my sorry, my brother and I begged my parents to get us a dog, you know, like.00:01:55KevinHow old are?00:01:55JackYou, well, 12 years old. So I was 12. My brother was 9 and we really, really wanted a dog so badly. And my parents were.00:01:57KevinOK, cool.00:02:07JackReluctant because they kind of felt like we weren't being honest when we said that we would clean up after the dog. Like, I promise I'll walk the dog. I'll clean up after the dog. I'll do all the all, all the the stuff. And then, of course, my dad ended up, you know, cleaning up after the dog and.00:02:18발표자Every day. Oh.00:02:27JackYou know my brother and I just kind of played with our toys inside the house while my dad was cleaning. You know, the yard.00:02:36JackBut, but we did love buddy. He was a very sweet dog, very gentle dog. So he was big. He was about. Well, I could say he's probably like £75, which I'm not sure how much that is in kilo. Yeah, like 30 kilos? Yeah. He was a big boy and he had long hair.00:02:47KevinOh wow, it's like 30.00:02:51KevinSomething like that.00:02:56JackSo in the summer he would shed a lot which really bothered my mom because there was, you know, like, hair on the sofa, hair in the carpet, hair everywhere. And that got really annoying to my mom.00:03:00발표자You know.00:03:11JackBut everybody loved buddy because he was so sweet and he loved everybody, so even strangers, he would, you know, come up to a stranger. And one of the things that he used to do that was really cute is that he would like.00:03:29JackWhen he he was so excited he would, he would drop down on his shoulder.00:03:34JackBut he would never he would never fully roll over.00:03:37발표자He would just.00:03:37JackKeep his **** up in the air, stand on his hind legs and yeah, and just and and just just begging somebody to, you know, pet him, you know, and just to give him some attention. So he really loved people. He he was a great dog to have with children.00:03:40KevinThey play with me.00:03:54JackAnd uh.00:03:56JackYou also I think we felt safer around the house with him, you know, like when somebody comes by drive, you know, walks by your house, he would bark and alert us that, you know somebody was there. And I think it it it's there's a safety element to having a pet so.00:04:15JackThat was buddy.00:04:15KevinAt least for dogs, because the pets that I had when I was a kid, well, I had some, some hamsters or gerbils, but that that was only for a short time.00:04:24KevinBut then our our big pet, when I was younger is my brother.00:04:27KevinAnd I had.00:04:28KevinCats, when we had two and we originally my one of my moms friends his cat had kittens and so there were suddenly many baby kittens around and my my mom's friend said come please.00:04:29JackOK, OK.00:04:43KevinTake take one of these cats. And so my mom said, let's go get a kitten and my my brother and I were very excited.00:04:50KevinAnd when we went to choose which kitten to to take home, my brother picked one and I picked one, and so then we had two. And and cats we had. Yeah, 2 cats growing up. And cats are amazing animals. I really do love cats. Although we can talk about that.00:04:58JackOK. Yeah.00:05:10KevinYeah, I've changed my opinion a little bit now. I still love cats, but cats are great animals, but they will alert you. Of course you know when someone else comes around, they pretty much run and hide most of the time when strangers are around.00:05:23KevinBut cats, I think are great animals for busy people.00:05:27KevinThey're great pets for busy people because.00:05:29JackThey can take care of themselves, you know they can entertain themselves, yeah.00:05:30KevinThey take care of themselves. Yeah, they're not nearly. They don't take nearly as much work. So we could leave for school where my mom could go to work. And especially because.00:05:41KevinWe had two.00:05:42KevinCats, brother and sister, they were fine. They would play together all day and we would come home and then they were happy. You know, we could give them food. We gave them a place to go to the bathroom.00:05:51KevinAnd they were. They were.00:05:52KevinLine. We could even leave them for like a long weekend. Sometimes for two or three days, if we went on a trip and then they were a little angry at us.00:06:00KevinAnd we came home, like, where did you go?00:06:02KevinBut mostly they were OK for that. Any longer and we would have neighbors come and check on them, of course. But for for a short time they were great. And so cats are amazing, great little animals. They're they're really cute, they're they're fun, but they're very independent.00:06:21JackYeah, I feel like dogs are very needy, like they're they need. They need your attention. They need your love. And if you leave for 5 minutes, they feel like they lost your love, you know, like, as soon as you come home and then they're like, please love me. Please love me. You know, they're very desperate.00:06:38KevinI will say.00:06:38KevinThat's the thing. Like dogs. Now we have a dog and and I love my our little dambi at home. Maybe more than my cats. And and I I feel bad saying about them. They were amazing animals, amazing pets as well but.00:06:52KevinDogs are very different, right? They take a lot more work like you were saying. Your dad has to take care of the dog, you know, go out and clean up after them and you've got to play with them. You a lot more time. But they give you a lot more love, love. You know, I come home and and my dog dambi, she's just.00:07:11발표자Like, Oh my gosh.00:07:12KevinYou're home and she's so happy to to see me. Whereas when I had cats, you'd come home and they would.00:07:18KevinJust be like ohh.00:07:20KevinHi, welcome you again. Right, right. So dogs require a lot more work, but they give you a lot more in return I think.00:07:21JackYou again, yeah.00:07:31KevinWell, we.00:07:33JackYou know, my dad cleaned up after our dog when I was a child, and now my my daughter is has a we have a dog that we bought for my daughter when she was young. Maybe when she was like 5.00:07:46JackSo and so we have Lily and Lily is a a very little dog. She's a a a Maltese. Yeah. So she's got white hair, but she's very small. She weighs like, 3 kilograms, something like that. Two or three kilograms.00:08:01KevinThat's about the same size as zombie.00:08:02JackYeah, and. But Lily is very sweet. She's kind of has, like, a a big dog personality in a small dog's body. So she she can just sit on your lap. And she's very sweet and she's good with other people. She doesn't.00:08:10KevinOK.00:08:17JackSnap at people. She doesn't try to bite. You know kids or whatever. And so she's very gentle, very sweet. So we've, you know, I've had two dogs in my life. And and both of them were were great dogs. And so I we've I feel really lucky. But these days I clean up after.00:08:38JackOur dog.00:08:39JackBasically it's karma, yes, and so my dad is laughing, you know, at me sometimes because he says, yeah, now you understand how I feel, you know?00:08:39KevinIt's karma, the bag.00:08:52KevinI think dogs are funny as well, cause in in America many people like you, said buddy. You know it was a golden retriever. That's a pretty big.00:09:00KevinAnd although I never had a dog when I was, when I was young, I had many neighbors or friends who had dogs, and so we play with them a lot. And American dogs tend especially depends on where you live, but they tend to be bigger, you know, so getting like a 3040K dog is just kind of normal. That's just dog size.00:09:20KevinAnd these small.00:09:21KevinDogs like you know you're Lily or Danby 34K dogs.00:09:26KevinBefore I came to here before I had dambi at home, I didn't like small dogs. I I really didn't. I was like that. That's not a real dog. They're just annoying little just bark, bark, bark, bark, bark. You know, they're they're kind of crazy hyper dogs.00:09:41KevinMy opinion has changed.00:09:43JackYeah, yeah.00:09:43KevinOf course, I I now realize that.00:09:46KevinSmall dogs are just as loving as as big dogs are, and I understand when you live in a big city.00:09:53KevinYou know, like we don't have a yard. We live in an apartment. And so, yeah, like, I would love a bigger dog. I don't know if I want a really big dog, but like a medium sized one, I think would be amazing.00:09:55JackSame, yeah.00:10:05KevinBut I just don't have a yard for them to go outside and run around and play, and dogs have a lot of energy and they need more more area to play. So small dogs make sense in in cities and apartments.00:10:18JackYeah, I agree. I I'll. I'll leave with one last little story, my friend. When I when I was growing up, his father had a Saint Bernard.00:10:29JackAnd if you're talking, yes, this dog dog is probably 50 or 60 kilograms, like over 100 pounds and yeah, and they and they have the the big slobbering spit coming out of their mouths all the time. So yeah, they're very. They're very interesting looking dogs, but if you're.00:10:43KevinRight.00:10:49JackIf you're, if you want to see what a a big dog looks like, check out a Saint Bernard.00:10:53JackHard. They're they're really fun.00:10:54KevinMy my neighbors when I was a kid, they had.00:10:56KevinA Great Dane.00:10:57KevinYou are. I don't know if they way. Yeah, they're they're. They're not as big. Like they don't weigh as much. Maybe as a Saint Bernard. But they're tall. They're tall and skinny. Really long legs, really, really tall. And I remember when I was young, this dog was almost as tall as me.00:10:57JackYes, must think it's a horse.00:11:07JackYeah. Your long legs, yeah.00:11:15KevinNot standing on two legs, just.00:11:16KevinOn all four legs was still very.00:11:17KevinTall. Mm-hmm. And you know how dogs are when they get excited, they wag.00:11:21KevinTheir tails a.00:11:22KevinLot right? And so this was a big dog. And I remember I would just be standing next to it, talking to the neighbors.00:11:28KevinAnd he'd be so excited, wagging his tail and the tail would, like, hit me in the shoulder. And it was like your friend punching you.00:11:35KevinIt was like boom like.00:11:36KevinIt almost knocked me over that that dog's tail was so strong.00:11:40JackGet slapped by the the tail of a Great Dane, yeah.00:11:42KevinYeah, big dogs, big dogs are fun, but they're they're at a whole different kind of animal to like these small apartment dogs.00:11:51JackIt's it's hard to believe that little Lily there and damba the 2-3 kilogram dog and a Great Dane are the same species.00:11:58KevinRight. Almost. Yeah. They're they're so different size and and behavior and appearance from each other. It's very. I'd love to hear what our what some of our listeners. What kind of pets are common in their country? What? What size of pets?00:11:59JackYou know, it's just, yeah.00:12:11JackGive us the names of pets too. Like what? What's the name of your dog? What does it mean in your language?00:12:14KevinYeah, I.00:12:17KevinYeah, cause I mean.00:12:18KevinPets are pets are a great.00:12:20KevinThing to talk about.00:12:21KevinI mean, zombie is like it's family. Yeah, she is family. She's our daughter.00:12:27KevinThe most, and I'm sure other people feel the same. You know, your pets are your kids, your brother, your sister. You know, whatever they they really are a full part of your family. And so it's it's fun to share to about about family.00:12:42JackOur four legged family members, you know, Yep.00:12:45KevinYep.

We're going to surprise each other with a topic for the day and see where the conversation goes. Check our site for a study guide with vocabulary notes and discussion questions, as well as links to our WhatsApp or other social media where you can join in the discussion.00:00:27KevinSo, Jack, what? What do you want to talk about today? What's your topic?00:00:30JackYeah. So today I want to talk about phobias, and I'm curious. Yeah, if you have any phobias and then I'll share, you know, my phobia.00:00:42KevinI I I mean, I'm sure there's things that I'm kind of afraid of, but I can't really think of too.00:00:48KevinMany big phobias.00:00:50KevinThey definitely do not like bugs.00:00:52KevinVery much. It depends on the kind of bug, but yeah, those they that is definitely something I'm not not a fan of. At least it's not so much of A phobia exactly though.00:01:06JackWho kills the spiders in your family?00:01:08JackThen does. Does your wife kill them?00:01:11KevinI don't kill spiders. I save spiders.00:01:13JackUh, you save spiders because they eat.00:01:15KevinYour friends. Spiders. Exactly. Spiders eat other bugs, so if I see a spider, I either just leave it alone, or if it's a big creepy one, I'll put it in a.00:01:15JackDevice, yeah.00:01:22KevinCup and take it outside.00:01:24JackWow, OK.00:01:25KevinSo like I said for for me this is a a tough topic because I'm not sure what I'm really like truly afraid of like phobia wise bugs is one of the big ones, but I've managed to kind of get over that a little bit actually.00:01:42KevinAnd the way I kind of did this was I'll tell a quick story here, but a bunch of years ago when I was a student in university, I was at a a party with some friends and some of my friends were older than I was, so some of them had kids at the party and we were just hanging out and and the kids were.00:02:01KevinPlaying doing kids thing.00:02:04KevinAnd one of the kids, he was probably.00:02:08Kevin7-8 nine years old. Something like this and I'm an adult. Of course. At the time I was like in my early 20s.00:02:14KevinAnd this kid's hobby was collecting bugs like he just loved bugs, which I still did not understand, but he just loved them. So we're hanging out outside, and this kid is running around in the backyard just picking up bugs and playing around and just doing doing what?00:02:29KevinThat's due, and suddenly he ran up to me and he holds his hand out to me. And he's like, here. Take this. And I was like, oh, oh, God, what what are you going to give me? And I hold my hand out and he just drops this, like kind of beetle bug in my hand.00:02:44KevinAnd I'm just like like.00:02:46KevinFreaking out because now I'm holding this bug which I I do not want to be.00:02:50JackRight.00:02:50KevinGreat. But ever since then, whenever I see some.00:02:55KevinBug or insect in my house that I don't like that I don't want to deal with. I just remember this kid like, OK, so there was this eight-year.00:03:04KevinOld kid who's not afraid of bugs and there's me adult who is afraid of bugs. So like, OK, Kevin, be brave and then I do what needs to be done.00:03:10JackRight.00:03:16KevinFor the bug, either capture the spider or smack it with a newspaper, depending on the bug.00:03:21JackIf you he accidentally gave you what is called CBT, it's a type of it's cognitive behavioral therapy. And so if you have a, if you have a.00:03:27KevinCD3.00:03:30발표자There you go.00:03:33JackIf you have a phobia, one of the ways that they treat the phobia is by facing the fear directly head on. So if you're afraid of bugs, then they will make you sit near a bug or hold like ultimately holding a bug would be like the you've conquered your fear.00:03:42KevinMM.00:03:53JackYour phobia like your, that's the last step. The first step would be like, you know, a phobia is a pretty serious medical condition or mental condition. It's not. It's more than just a fear. It's like a medical disorder. So even people with phobias of bugs cannot even look at photo.00:03:54KevinThat's the last step.00:04:06KevinRight, right.00:04:12JackThose of bugs.00:04:13KevinYeah, phobia is definitely more serious. But I mean, we can just talk about general fears that we.00:04:19KevinHave for for today.00:04:19JackYeah, mine. Exactly. I don't really have phobias that mine are not that serious, but I I would say my daughter has like a.00:04:27JackIt kind of a a mild phobia because it's more than normal.00:04:32JackFear of bugs.00:04:33JackSo when you said that I was thinking of my daughter because.00:04:34KevinOK.00:04:36JackEspecially when she was a little bit.00:04:38JackYounger she would just scream.00:04:41JackYou know, yell for me. And I thought, you know, there was an emergency. And so I remember running and what's wrong. And then she's pointing to a bug and it's the smallest and most innocent little bug you've ever seen, like, not even like a big, you know, creepy crawly. Yeah. I mean, even smaller than that.00:04:58KevinLike a ladybug or something, right?00:05:02JackIt's just a little tiny, you know, flea or something. I don't know. Like, just nothing. And or an Ant or something. And yeah, she really, really hated bugs and. And she. She doesn't like them.00:05:13JackNow, but yeah, she has kind of outgrown it a little bit. Did you ever have you ever had a fear of, like, flying? Did you ever have any sort of anxiety about getting in an airplane or anything like that?00:05:30KevinNo, like I said, if you remember, we talked about this a while ago. The first time I I flew in an airplane, I was quite young. I was maybe.00:05:39KevinEight or nine and I flew alone well with just my brother and and the flight attendants to help. But no, that wasn't the problem. Heights. I I like heights. I've gone skydiving. Bungee jumping. That's that's no problem.00:05:50JackOhh wow. So heights is a big problem for me. I've got a I've got two phobias there, 22 fears that are kind of that have kind of plagued me or bothered me for the last like 20 years or 30 years.00:06:04JackOne is heights, which is ironic because I'm very tall, but yeah.00:06:09KevinRight.00:06:10KevinYou're already at a height.00:06:11JackIf I if I'm standing, if I go hiking up a mountain and there's like a, you know, a Cliff and and and embankment.00:06:20JackI just I cannot get too close to the edge like I start to get my knees get wobbly. I start to feel dizzy and I feel like like if I get too close, I'm going to lose control and just fall over the edge like I just. And also I cannot.00:06:37JackTolerate other people getting close to the edge, especially like if it were like my daughter or something. I'm super paranoid about those kinds of things and my daughter is not a young child. She's 13 years old. Fourteen. She'll be 14 years old soon. So yeah, it's it's not a. It's definitely just a.00:06:57JackIn irrational fear because.00:07:00JackBut anyone, anytime I get close to an edge or something, you know, in a high place, I do get a little bit lightheaded and my knees get wobbly and I start sweating a little bit and yeah, it's it's, it's uncomfortable. It's very uncomfortable.00:07:14KevinHeights are a pretty common one. My wife is not very good at heights either.00:07:17JackYeah, I don't like it. I don't like him at all. I'm not. Yeah, I don't need that. That kind of adventure in my life. I I used to think that I had a claustrophobia. And claustrophobia is like the is the kind of the opposite of.00:07:25KevinFair enough.00:07:33JackLike, well, it's the opposite of open spaces, you know, cause a claustrophobia is being in a small space, like an elevator or a coffin or something like that. However, I went to the doctor a couple weeks ago and had an MRI. And if you've ever had an MRI before, you're basically in a tiny tube.00:07:55KevinRight. I I haven't done it yet, but I've.00:07:55JackFor about 30 minutes.00:07:57KevinI've seen it on TV.00:07:58JackYeah. And I I fell asleep inside of it.00:08:02JackSo there's no way I have claustrophobia because you. No. Nobody with with that disorder is going to sleep inside of a an MRI tube where a lot of people have anxiety attacks and panic attacks. Inside of those things, it's very common.00:08:17KevinYeah, those are those are quite loud from what I understand. So if you fell asleep in there, that's you must have been quite tired.00:08:21JackThey had. I had.00:08:22JackEar plugs and a couple and like you know, kind of those like airplane worker, you know, yeah, your your ***** or whatever, I'm not sure.00:08:27KevinOK, OK.00:08:31JackYeah, my other fear is this one is has actually bothered me for a long time and it's a fear of rats. I really, really cannot.00:08:39KevinThat's OK.00:08:43JackI cannot look at a rat if I see a rat just run across the street.00:08:48JackI I have to go the other way. My biggest fear would be like a rat.00:08:50KevinOhh wow.00:08:54JackRunning over my.00:08:55JackFeet like I couldn't even I couldn't tolerate that. Like, yeah, having a rat just anywhere near me and I I kind of put mice in the same in the same basket. Like they're just disgusting creatures. They're so gross.00:08:57KevinDoesn't sound fun.00:09:07KevinI was going to.00:09:08KevinAsk what about other what about like gerbils or hamsters?00:09:13KevinOr or those.00:09:13JackMy daughter had two hamsters and the first one died really quickly. I don't it was sick when we bought it. The second one lived forever and she lost interest in it after a week, so I became the sole caretaker of this hamster for like.00:09:32JackA year and I hate hamsters and rats and gerbils and Guinea pigs and all of those things are disgusting. They're just vermin, you know, they they eat trash and live on the ground and.00:09:40KevinThose burdens.00:09:45KevinRight.00:09:48JackYeah, they're just.00:09:49JackDisgusting. And I I I just. Hey, I hate rats. And so yeah.00:09:53KevinI would say for for rats defense, you know that there's some rats that are trained to sniff out landmines.00:10:00KevinAnd so they're very helpful pets for that, for sniffing out landmines in countries that had had a lot of land mines drop. And so they're, there's actually some rats who have, like, medals of honor for finding many, many, many land mines.00:10:13JackThat's pretty interesting that there's there are rats out there that have a Medal of Honor. Do they? Do you think they wear the metal all the time or do?00:10:19JackThey take it off when they sleep.00:10:21KevinI I.00:10:21KevinI think they take it off when they go back to their rat home to their to their rat family.00:10:25JackTo go back to their maize and and cheese, right?00:10:27KevinRight.00:10:28JackNo, I I.00:10:28JackKnow rats are really useful. They we we have Lab Rats. You know that they do a lot of lot of testing to to help cure diseases sniffing out landmines. That's amazing.00:10:41JackBut I'm thinking more of the like sewer rat kind and so and and also I I they they spread disease, you know, like the black plague and and things like that. So I think it's it's probably just a long history of humans kind of.00:10:44KevinWell, yeah.00:10:52KevinThis this is true.00:10:59JackBad relationship with rats that that I inherited from my ancestors, I think.00:11:04KevinRight.00:11:05JackThat's probably what happened.00:11:07JackBut yeah, that's it, those are.00:11:08JackMy 2, my 2 fears.00:11:08KevinYeah, St. rides are definitely.00:11:10KevinThe Dirty creatures that I that I I don't want to mess with, but pet rats. I I don't have any problems with.00:11:17JackSo if you want, if you want to, you know, put me in a terrible place, put me in a hot air balloon high above the ground with a couple of rats inside of the basket. And I don't think I could think of a worse nightmare.00:11:31JackSituation than that so.00:11:33KevinWell, now I know your weakness is dark, so be be careful.00:11:35JackThat's those are my feet.00:11:38KevinCome on for you.00:11:39JackThose are my weaknesses, yeah.00:11:42KevinWell, yeah, try and avoid try and avoid heights and and avoid those those sewers as well.00:11:47JackRight, right.

Therefore in English I read only stories and novels which are suitable with my level and in addition I listen to audio books and read them.00:13:34JackAt the same time, so Leila is using, you know, English books to help improve her English and her her vocabulary.

In this episode of The A to Z English Podcast, Jack is joined by guest hosts May, Layla, and Hendrick as they discuss the following question:What's your favorite season?Transcript:00:00:00JackYou're listening to the A-Z English podcast.00:00:13JackFor the A-Z English podcast, My name is Jack and I am one of the hosts of the podcast and today sitting in for social we have Layla from Saudi Arabia, Hendrick from Indonesia and may from Malaysia. And of course I'm Jack and one of the hosts and today.00:00:34JackWe are going to share.00:00:37JackOur favorite seasons. So Leila, what is your favorite season?00:00:45LaylaMy favorite season is winter because as you know, here in my country the most season any year are very kind.00:01:00LaylaAnd and the hot soup in winter. We have very cold weather. You can go outside for a picnic in, in a park with your family. You can enjoy the weather very well because the temperature usually is just 1814. So especially in the afternoon.00:01:22LaylaSo people really, really enjoy being outside in, in, in winter and then also usually it's sunny, rainy. We have the rain. So winter and our country is like.00:01:37LaylaThe uh shipping, or maybe autumn in the other country for other countries. So I think it's season is winter.00:01:47Jack1816 that's like beautiful weather. That's perfect for a little like a light jacket, but you don't have to wear, you know, winter jacket. What about in the night time? How cold does it get at night when the the sun goes down?00:02:02LaylaUh at night. Sometimes it reach the 8 degrees 10 degrees, rainy at reach to for example.00:02:14Layla5-3 degrees Celsius, so it's not usually very, very cold, but absolutely cooler than the daytime. Yeah, usually it might be.00:02:27JackRight. I would say 3.00:02:29LaylaYeah, go ahead, Jeff.00:02:30JackWell, three and five is pretty chilly. That's. That's chilly, you know? That's that's that's cool. Yeah.00:02:35LaylaYeah. Yeah. So usually at night, you will wear winter coat, but you can you can feel the very different gap between the weather and in the daytime and night time. It's very different.00:02:53LaylaAlright, well.00:02:56JackThanks for sharing Layla. Awesome. So Leila likes the winter. Although winter in Saudi Arabia is like fall in other countries.00:03:05LaylaExactly, yes.00:03:06JackHendrick, what about you? What is?00:03:08JackYour favorite season and why?00:03:14HendrickOK, so I think my favorite season is summer. Yeah, because I like to do everything without, you know, like cold or without rain. I like to, you know, like go everywhere.00:03:29HendrickHere without, you know, like afraid that it's gonna be rain or something like that. So I think summer is the good season for me. Like you can do a lot of activities outdoor but sometimes when it turns like the weather turns to but to really hard sometimes it's quite difficult for you to.00:03:49HendrickDo you like superior type? But I think summer is the good one.00:03:55JackWhat's one of your active favorite activities to?00:03:58JackDo in the summer.00:04:00HendrickI think just go out and then read a book under the tree. That's a good thing. I like to do that, you know, like, enjoy everything outside the nature.00:04:13발표자Yeah, we, we.00:04:13HendrickDidn't wait books, and actually I also surprised when Laila maintain that they also have winter in Saudi Arabia area. That's great.00:04:23JackI think it's kind of funny because I know that Hendrick in the in the winter or the rainy season, you like to read a book inside your your room and then in the summer you just like to read a book, but you go outside and read it.00:04:37HendrickYeah, that's nice. OK, yeah. And also I think in the rainy season, that's also good. I really like, you know, the sound of rain that's really amazing, especially when you, you know, like just see near your window and then, you know, like looking outside and then or maybe just.00:04:58HendrickRead the book and enjoy the reading of the sound.00:05:01HendrickThe rain. That's nice.00:05:05JackYeah, that is nice. There's nothing, nothing like reading a book on a on a rainy day. Yeah, for sure. Alright. So we've got winter covered and we've got summer covered. May what is your favorite summer and your name is in spring? May is is spring time so.00:05:23발표자I think.00:05:24JackI'm not.00:05:28MayI probably.00:05:30MayAs you know, in Malaysia the weather is.00:05:33MayRain and hot. So I would like to experience how the like.00:05:42MaySo I want to feel the snow.00:05:46MayHow cool it is.00:05:48MaySo I would prefer to experience.00:05:52MayOr mid winter season maybe. Maybe. I mean.00:05:59MayFor once at least I want.00:06:00JackRight.00:06:01MayTo know how it feels.00:06:02JackYou want to make a snowman you want to.00:06:04JackMake a snow.00:06:05JackAngel, you want to just experience those?00:06:05MayYeah. Because when people when people mentioning about.00:06:09MayNo, I don't. I I'm clueless.00:06:13JackHave you ever?

Maybe I can slap them, slap them on the floor. I can pick it up. Maybe you can touch them. The real snow, not ice cube in the glass. That's not.00:06:37JackIt's it is beautiful, I admit. You know, it is. There's something wonderful about the feeling of the snow falling and.00:06:45JackIt's just kind of like.00:06:47JackHendrick is talking about reading a book on a rainy day. It's nice to sit by a fireplace on a winter snowy winter day. It's really nice.00:06:56JackYeah, I know, I mean.00:06:58MayI know many, many people don't like it because for them it's too cold and too troublesome. They cannot go out, they cannot do their daily routine as usual. I have not feel.00:07:10MaySo all that maybe?00:07:13MayIt is enough for me to experience it only for one day.00:07:17JackRight. I was gonna say, may I give you one day and then you say please take me back to Malaysia.00:07:24JackThis is not for me. Yeah, one day and you'll be like, that's enough. I'm from Minnesota. I know winter.00:07:24MayNo more.00:07:32MayYeah, well, I know that many people said said that actually.00:07:32JackRough, yeah.00:07:39JackAll right, well, so we've got, Leila says Winter May says.

I I don't know. It was. It was terrible. I was scared.00:01:14JackOhh my gosh, that's pretty young to see the exorcist. Wow.00:01:23Ana MariaAbout one week after the.00:01:24Ana MariaMoving all the time, I was thinking about.00:01:28Ana MariaThese scenes of all in the movie.00:01:33Ana MariaIt was, it's.00:01:34Ana MariaIt's only even if you see that then nowadays it's a scary movie, especially about the what happened to the.00:01:45Ana MariaAnd her face and understood, remember many things about the movie. I never saw that again after that time when I was adult or anything because it was really a trauma. It was very.00:01:59JackYeah, especially when her head, like, spins around 360 degrees.00:02:04JackAnd then she vomits the green. You know, slime or pudding or pea soup or whatever that is.00:02:15Ana MariaWhen they show the her stomach and words appear. Oh my God is horrible. It's horrible because there there there is asking for her.00:02:21JackOh yes.00:02:29Ana MariaHer own body.00:02:30JackYeah, yeah.00:02:32Ana MariaIt's a good movie, I.00:02:33Ana MariaGuess it's a good movie, that it's really scary.00:02:37JackUh, it's uh. It is a good movie, but it's like a good movie. You don't want to necessarily watch again right away. You know, it's like it's a trauma. It's traumatic to see that movie. That's why I would not let my daughter watch The Exorcist. That's I draw a line there. Yeah. Yeah.00:02:55Ana MariaFair enough.00:02:58JackOK, 13. Anna Maria. That's too young. You you that that scared you? I think that's.00:03:04Ana MariaI love. I love so many days and when I talk to my parents, they say we don't need that. We need to know what's.00:03:15Ana MariaHe was alone. I was alone.00:03:15JackYou guys.00:03:17JackOK. Yeah, that was somebody somebody made a mistake there by letting you watch that at that young of an.00:03:24JackAge. Alright, thanks for sharing Andrea and Celine. Scariest movie that you've ever seen.00:03:34SalimehActually, I was like Amelia because I started watching scary movies when I was kind of kid or teenager, I don't know. And a lot about, you know, I didn't watch her movies anymore. But when I was sleeping, I was so into.00:03:53SalimehSo uh.00:03:55SalimehI don't remember actually the movies. All the movies that I watched at that time, but when we was constantly, you know, it's about the hunter Demon Hunter, maybe you know that and only that movie you know is talking in my mind, that's still know some.00:04:15SalimehI was thinking my memory is very blurry by that time, but maybe I was. I don't, you know, scare of those things anymore. But at that time, well, I was so young. So that was serious for me when I was a kid. But recently this says.00:04:35SalimehAfraid, not scared.00:04:36SalimehSo easily, even though it.00:04:39SalimehWith the ordinary it's a very simple movie and there is a normal scene and all of a sudden someone next the door and that was the scariest movie, the scariest moment, you know, watching.00:04:51JackYeah, that's the best when you like.00:04:53SalimehYeah, everything is getting, yeah.00:04:55JackWhen you're watching a horror movie and then.00:04:56SalimehWhen we don't expect.00:04:58JackYeah, somebody slams the door or something and you just jump out of your seat. Yeah.00:04:59SalimehYeah, I don't expect anything.00:05:03JackPopcorn goes flying everywhere.00:05:06JackConstantine, that was a comic book.00:05:08JackMovie, but I think.00:05:09JackIt was definitely like about like like the.00:05:11JackDevil and and you know.00:05:14JackOK.00:05:14JackDemons and angels and yeah, it was really.00:05:18JackQuite a dark and kind of scary movie. Yeah. Yeah. And it had Keanu Reeves.00:05:18SalimehYeah, it's.00:05:22SalimehLike the calendar for the kids. Yeah, yeah.00:05:24JackYeah, not for, not for food.00:05:26JackYeah. All right. Well, thank you. So we may thank you for sharing that. So we have the Exorcist and Constantine, Salimeh, scariest.00:05:35JackMovie you've ever seen.00:05:38AgnieszkaUh, well, I was thinking the same as Anna Maria, but I don't know the the the missus I remember is Andrea is a movie is a a Dominican horror movie. This the first movie that they do in this kind of.00:05:44JackOK.00:05:58AgnieszkaAnd it was really scary because they they talk about scary story stories in that American Republic, like the real scary stories that happened here or well.00:06:13AgnieszkaThey they say that happened here and it was it was good because have this, you know this environment that give you all when you are in a small town and you feel like you want you are hunting and you you you are in a hunting house something like that.00:06:32AgnieszkaIt was because I was really young. I was like 1212 years old, so I all, all of my friends have the same movie as me. So yeah.00:06:39JackYeah, yeah, yeah.00:06:44JackWhat's it called? It's called Andre.00:06:47AgnieszkaYeah, Andrea.00:06:48JackAndrea, OK, Now this is. I'm just gonna sound so ignorant here when I ask you this question. But I know that from talking to some of my students from Haiti that like voodoo and that kind of I I don't know what you call it. Like mythology is, is prevalent on the island.00:07:09JackIs that also true in Dominican Republic? Is there some like kind of myth, myth of myth, myth, mythological connection to voodoo and stuff like that?00:07:20AgnieszkaOhh no here we are different in that way.

In this idioms episode of The A to Z English Podcast, Jack explains the meaning of three idioms which use the word "ghost.""Give up the ghost": This idiom means to die or stop working. It is often used when referring to machines or equipment that have stopped functioning. For example, "After years of service, the old car finally gave up the ghost.""Ghost town": This idiom refers to a place or location that is largely deserted, empty, or devoid of activity. It can be used to describe a once-thriving area that has become abandoned or a place where very few people are present. For instance, "After the factory closed down, the entire area turned into a ghost town.""Ghosting" is a term commonly used in the context of dating and relationships, as well as in other interpersonal situations. It refers to the act of abruptly and intentionally cutting off all communication with someone, typically without explanation or warning. When someone "ghosts" another person, they cease all forms of contact, such as texts, calls, and social media interactions, and essentially disappear from the other person's life.Podcast Website:https://atozenglishpodcast.com/a-to-z-idioms-30-idioms-using-the-word-ghost/Social Media:Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/671098974684413/Tik Tok:@atozenglish1Instagram:@atozenglish22Twitter:@atozenglish22A to Z Facebook Page:https://www.facebook.com/theatozenglishpodcastCheck out our You Tube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCds7JR-5dbarBfas4Ve4h8ADonate to the show: https://app.redcircle.com/shows/9472af5c-8580-45e1-b0dd-ff211db08a90/donationsRobin and Jack started a new You Tube channel called English Word Master.
