squishy jelly like candy very very

sugary and they usually have some kind

hi everybody welcome back to top words

my name is Alisha and today we’re going

to be talking about ten breakup lines

these are lines that you can use when

you want to end a romantic relationship

Wow let’s go I need my space I need my

space I need my space so if you feel the

other person is maybe just always with

you always looking for time or just

bothering you whatever doesn’t matter

you don’t want to spend time with that

person anymore you can say I need my

space how do you want to go to the

movies with me this weekend it was so

much fun to see you yesterday and we can

do something tomorrow and then we can go

to the movies together too don’t you

think it’ll be great actually I need my

space I need to focus on my career I

need to focus on my career ooh

so maybe you’re really really busy with

work or you’re just looking for an

excuse to break up with the person to

break up with someone you can say I’m

really sorry but right now I need to

focus on my career I think we need a

break I think we need a break this is

after you’ve been seeing someone for

some time and you decide that maybe

they’re not the right person for you you

can say I think we need a break be

careful though this phrase sounds like

there’s a

chance you may get back together in the

future if you don’t feel that there’s a

chance you’ll be continuing to see this

person maybe choose a different line to

break up with them I think we’re moving

too fast this is an expression you might

use towards the beginning of a

relationship maybe for example you meet

someone and then you start dating them

and and then a month later they’re like

let’s move in together and then three

months later it’s like oh let’s get

married or whatever the pace of the

relationship seems too fast you can say

I think we’re moving too fast so if you

say this phrase maybe it doesn’t mean

that you want to break up but just this

pace is too fast for me let’s slow down

I’m just not ready for this kind of

relationship I’m just not ready for this

kind of relationship this could have

many different meanings

maybe the relationship is very serious

and you’re not looking for a serious

relationship you can say I’m not ready

for this kind of relationship saying I’m

not ready sounds like it’s me it’s my

problem I’m not ready for this kind of

relationship it’s not you it’s me it’s

not you it’s me there’s no problem with

you rather I have a problem maybe

they’re just struggling with some things

that they’re not mmm they don’t want to

bring into a relationship or maybe

they’re just trying to be polite maybe

it is you but the other person is trying

to be kind so you can say it’s not you

it’s me

let’s just be friends let’s just be

friends you’ve been in a relationship

with someone for a while and you decide

maybe it’s better if we don’t date each

other but I still like this person so

let’s just be friends

We Need to Talk oh no we need to talk

the dreaded we need to talk if someone

says we need to talk in that tone we

need to talk or if you get like a text

message that says we need to talk it’s

never we need to talk I want to get a

puppy it’s never a happy thing if you

see if you hear We Need to Talk

it’s oh no something is bad in my

relationship and I’m about to hear about

it dun dun dun

so you can follow We Need to Talk with

an actual issue that you need to discuss

about your relationship or it can mean

the end of the

relationship you want to talk about

ending the relationship we should start

seeing other people the next breakup

line is we should start seeing other

people

ouch means I don’t want to see you

anymore at one point about this when we

are in a relationship with someone there

are a couple of different verbs that we

use we use the verb seeing to see

someone and to date to go out with those

are a few so in this expression we see

we should start seeing other people so

it doesn’t mean just like like stand

across the room no I see another person

I see you know it means date it means be

in a relationship with we use the verb

to see for that one of the things that

is said about this phrase is that if

someone uses the phrase we should start

seeing other people there’s a good

chance that person is already seeing

someone else

ouch ouch you deserve better the next

phrase is you deserve better

oh so if someone says to you you deserve

better I think we should end the

relationship you deserve better it means

that the person feels they are not good

enough they’re not enough for you

and so they think you should find

someone better than the person saying

the phrase again this could be a sincere

expression or it could just be a very

polite and kind way to end a

relationship with someone hi everybody

and welcome back to top words my name is

Alisha and today we’re going to be

talking about ten words you can use to

talk about music so let’s go concert the

first word for talking about music is

concert concert is a live show concert

is yeah the performance is happening in

front of your eyes so concerts are

really popular worldwide I think

depending on where you live you might

hear them called live shows but usually

in American English we just say concert

a concert so in a sentence I’m going to

a concert this weekend to see in concert

the next expression is the verb we use

for a live show so the next expression

is to see in a concert or to see in

concert so we use

the artist’s name along with this phrase

so for example I’m going to see Coldplay

in concert I’m going to see Adele in

concert so you use I’m going to see

artist name in concert or in a concert

Marseille in concert or in a concert

both are okay so in a different sentence

I’m going to see my favorite band in

concert meaning live who do I want to

see in concert I want to see Michael

Jackson in concert yeah I would have

loved to see him in concert he’s my

favorite to listen to music to listen to

artist the next word or the next phrase

is to listen to Plus music or to listen

to an artist so you can use this verb

with the type of music or with the

specific artist or band or group that

you like so I like to listen to rock

music I like to listen to pop music

whatever another sentence is I like

listening to Beyonce I like yes so you

can use to listen to or listening to

both are fine here I like listening to

funk it’s fine I like listening to funky

artists is fine I like listening to

Queens of the Stone Age it’s fine all of

these are great who do you listen to

I listen to to write a song to write

music the next expression is to write a

song or to write music so if you want to

make music yourself you can say write a

song which just means one song maybe

three or four minutes usually in popular

music or to write music in general so

you can use both of these expressions

song is more specific music is more

general so in a sentence my friends

started writing songs recently or in a

different sentence writing music is

really fun track the next expression is

track track so we can use song yes but

for example when you look at an album

like on iTunes or maybe like a CD for

example each

each song is assigned a number that’s

the track number so we can say I like

track number 3 or track 3 we use track

to talk about a song so you can say this

is a good song or this is a good track

both are ok to use song and track are

both fine so in a sentence I really like

that track from his album beat the next

word is beat so the beat is sort of the

feeling of a song that usually it’s easy

to hear because there’s like a bass drum

or there’s some kind of heavy feeling it

gives you the sense of rhythm of a song

so in a sentence we would say like song

should have a catchy beat or that that

that song has a really catchy beat or I

like the beat of that song tempo so

tempo the next word is tempo tempo means

the pace of a song how fast or how slow

a song goes so you can have songs with a

fast tempo or with a slow tempo or

somewhere in between so you can change

the tempo of a song and maybe change the

feeling in a sentence tracks with a slow

tempo are nice on quiet evenings upbeat

the next word is up beat so this word

uses beat which we talked about before

but up beat this is an adjective that we

use for something maybe it’s a faster

tempo song maybe it sounds kind of

positive or a cheerful a little bit

happy so an upbeat track or an upbeat

song sounds maybe it has it has a good

positive feeling about it or a good

positive vibe something like that so in

a sentence this song is really upbeat

upbeat we can use up beat for people to

like my best friend is really upbeat

something positive or happy down tempo

next we’ll go to maybe the opposite of

upbeat the next word is down tempo tempo

means pace and down meaning like

decreased or slower so a down tempo song

has a slow tempo it’s more relaxed yeah

maybe it’s good for

just kind of hanging out or it’s a

little bit slow or maybe you hear this

at a restaurant or a cafe

perhaps a downtempo song so in a

sentence

I like downtempo music genre the next

word is a great pronunciation point for

many students its genre genre so not

John do or Jenn ray I don’t know but

genre is the correct pronunciation of

this word genre means the type of music

you can use genre to talk about movies

as well books too but it means the type

of something so type of maybe art you

could consider or type of creativity so

genre into in music is for example rock

pop funk house old disco heavy metal

classical country rap hip-hop blues all

these are genres of music so there types

of music you can say what type of music

do you like or what genre of music do

you listen to so in a sentence I listen

to lots of different genres of music hi

everybody and welcome back to top words

my name is Alisha and today we’re gonna

talk about ten words for talking about

sleep let’s go to wake up the first word

is to wake up to wake up is to open your

eyes probably in your bed or the place

where you are sleeping to wake up is to

to become conscious to become awake

every day you wake up presumably

hopefully in a sentence I woke up three

times last night to get up to get out of

bed all right the next word is to get up

or to get out of bed so that means to

physically move your body from your bed

out of bed to stand up from your bed to

get out of your bed we say to get up or

to get out of bed in a sentence I got up

at 8 o’clock this morning

to snooze the next word is to snooze so

we have to snooze and alarm and also to

snooze

so to snooze means to take a short sleep

to have a short sleeping time or to

snooze and alarm is when your alarm goes

off in the morning you have a button

most alarm clocks have some button you

can press so the alarm will turn on

again in like you know 5 or 10 minutes

or something

so to snooze an alarm is to like to ask

your alarm to wake you up again a few

minutes later that’s to snooze so we

have to snooze an alarm and to snooze

meaning like a short light sleep in a

sentence

I always snooze my alarm at least once

that is usually true to oversleep the

next word is to oversleep to oversleep

means to sleep too much or to sleep late

actually no it doesn’t mean to sleep

late to sleep late means just to sleep

until a late time in the day oversleep

means sleeping beyond the time you

wanted to get up so for example if my

alarm is set for 8 o’clock but I wake up

at 9 o’clock I overslept I slept beyond

my wake-up time so we can use oversleep

to talk about times when you sleep too

much you sleep more than your body needs

you to so maybe your body needs

depending on the person like six to nine

hours or so but if you sleep like 14

hours we can say that’s over sleeping

you’re sleeping too much hmm that’s the

nuance here in a sentence I overslept on

my first day of work

nap the next word is nap nap is a short

sleep so a nap is maybe 30 minutes one

hour just a short sleep a short rest so

a lot of people will take a nap in the

afternoon for example or maybe children

actually take naps for example in

preschool or when they’re very very

young they have a an afternoon nap a

short sleep like hmm yeah just a like

our or so I imagine it ascendance I love

naps actually I do like naps I don’t

like naps because when I take a nap

it becomes asleep it’s always like I

wake up four hours later and I’m like

okay well I’ve destroyed my sleep

schedule dream the next word is dream

dreams so dreams are those those visions

those images you see those experiences

it seems like you have when you are

asleep in a sentence I always have weird

dreams nightmare so the next word is

nightmare nightmare is a word which

means bad dream or scary dream negative

dream so children maybe have nightmares

a lot they wake up crying or they’re

really upset by nightmares monsters

terrifying things happening and so on

in a sentence do you ever have

nightmares to go to bed the next word is

to go to bed so before we talked about

to get up or to get out of bed this is

the opposite to go to bed means to get

in your bed - to try to go to sleep to

go to bed in a sentence I usually go to

bed fairly late to hit the hay to hit

the sack

the next expression is kind of ass I

don’t know a slang expression we have to

hit the hay and to hit the sack these

both mean to go to bed they both mean to

try to fall asleep but we just use them

in more casual situations the image here

of hitch the hay is with your body

hitting hay like laying down in hay I

believe historically because hay was

used to stuff things that people slept

on so that’s why we have this expression

to hit the hay with your body

same thing for to hit the sack so a sack

full of something soft to sleep on is

where this expression comes from in a

sentence I think I’m gonna hit the hay

to fall asleep the next

expression it is to fall asleep to fall

asleep you’re in bed and you finally you

lose consciousness you you stop being

aware you are asleep in that moment we

say you fall asleep in a sentence it

takes me a long time to fall asleep
