about a specific topic they’re gonna be

three sections

the first one is introduction to the

topic

section two useful words and expressions

and section three thought organization

now you’re gonna

notice something a little interesting

tonight’s class is gonna be

just a little bit different very

interactive

but maybe even more interactive than

usual so

hang in there stay with me let’s get

started so the topic that we’re gonna

look at for today’s

class is right here the topic is

health now health is defined as

being free from any illness or injury

the state of a person’s mental or

physical condition throughout this

lesson we are going to talk about

what it means to be healthy now really

quickly

in the comment section you all know that

i love to exercise i love

sports i think i’m a very healthy

individual

i want to know very quickly are you

healthy

do you think you are healthy that’s when

you type yes or no

you know some of you may also enjoy

exercising

or some of you may enjoy eating really

good food

in the comments section i just want you

to say yes

i think i’m healthy or no i’m not that

healthy teacher tiffany

i want to know who feels healthy right

now again

because we’re going to be talking about

this topic we need to kind of introduce

it first

who thinks they are healthy now do you

think you’re healthy all right here we

all right we have to coming through pian

says yes he’s healthy

yes minson hey good to see you minson

says

yes he’s healthy all right so a lot of

you are saying

yes you feel healthy very nice i like it

i like it

so many comments are coming through

there we go yes you feel healthy now

again if you don’t feel healthy it’s

okay we’re gonna talk about it don’t

worry

all right so many of you feel healthy

and yes there are some of you

andres being honest nah not that healthy

right now but it’s okay

so a lot of you said yes and there are

some of you said no

so we understand kind of what it means

to be healthy

here’s the thing though we have to learn

how to speak about this

topic in english like a native english

speaker

even though you understand the topic

even though you understand

if i start speaking about the topic the

goal for this class is to help

you be able to speak about the topic

with confidence

you all know how much i love to talk

about

confidence and i want to give you all

more confidence so

here’s the first thing i want us to look

at right here

what does it mean to be healthy in your

opinion again what does it mean to be

healthy in your opinion

we’re starting off with this topic now

the first practice is i want you to make

a sentence

the question is what does it mean to be

healthy

in your opinion so i want all of you all

to get on your keyboards and start

typing away

what does it mean to be healthy in

your opinion i want to see your

responses in your opinion

what does it mean to be healthy here we

all right let’s see let’s see um okay

so ahmed says we need to do more

exercise okay so

exercising someone who exercises a lot

is someone who is seen

to be healthy all right so then we have

all right let me see let me see

us the body says eating healthy okay

eating healthy

all right then what are some healthy

foods then okay so eating healthy but

what kind of foods

all right here we go all right someone

says a balanced diet

excellent yes being healthy means having

a balanced

diet i like that you said that all right

let’s see let’s see some more came

through

being healthy means you eat well right

eating healthy

okay good all right sabrina says to eat

healthy organic fresh food

good dinora says to have good health

and lots of energy in your body you know

a lot of you all comment on the amount

of energy i normally have

whenever i teach a class it’s true it

doesn’t matter how tired i am once the

record button

or once the button goes on or the the

camera starts

i suddenly get lots of energy because i

love teaching you guys but that’s true

having lots of energy very good answer

here we go

um chomsky says it means being free

from anxiety i like that free from

anxiety i like that

all right julio says your body doesn’t

feel bad like

all of your condition like you feel like

you’re an optimal you have optimal

health

i like that and i like that word optimal

be careful very good

excellent all right let’s see let’s see

someone says

eating davi says eating vegetables and

fruits i like that all right let’s see

let’s see

uh nico saga says living with my family

and getting the blessings of god so

i like how you mentioned that because

health is not just about the food we eat

it can also refer to mental health and

physical health so i like that you said

that very good point

you know in america this thursday is

thanksgiving the time

you spend lots of time with your family

so i’m looking forward to thursday

where i can spend lots of time with my

family it’s gonna be

something that makes me feel energized

it’s kind of an emotional health right

all right here we go queso says avoid

junk food good point avoiding junk food

very good point

all right dina says being healthy means

to start eating fruits and vegetables

and staying away from

junk foods while also exercising

daily i like that i like that um let me

see let me see

am i muslim no i just decided to wear a

wrap today isn’t it beautiful

but i’m not muslim i have some muslim

friends but i’m not muslim

all right uh let’s see let’s see um oh

having a plant-based

diet i like that response too very nice

all right let’s see exercising again so

let me let me ask you all this question

let’s go to our we have a white board

this time guys i told you something

special

something special for you guys all right

here we’re going to do

i want to ask you now to give me some

examples here’s what we’re going to do

so i’m going to switch you guys can

still see me so

someone in the comment section mentioned

a plant

based diet so i’m going to write plant

oh that’s a little bit too big we got to

go back hold on one second guys

there we go all right so back was

somebody mentioned

a plant based

diet okay now many people who

don’t eat healthy foods or who don’t

like to eat plants don’t necessarily

understand

what a plant-based diet is so let me ask

you a question doesn’t matter what

country you’re from

we’re talking about living healthy right

we’re introducing this topic of health

when you hear plant-based diet what are

some of the plant-based

foods you think people who have a

plant-based diet

normally eat for example i’ll give the

first one

let’s say for example kale i know in

america

people who have a plant-based diet like

to eat kale

so i’m asking you all what are some of

the plant-based

foods that you think people who follow a

plant-based diet

normally eat on a regular basis now some

of you might not know this but i’m vegan

so i don’t eat any cheese or any dairy

products

now i love food i love to eat but i try

to eat healthy food

so with the plant-based diet though tell

me in the comments section

what are some foods that you think

people that are on a plant-based diet

eat oh yes

very good let me see i see someone said

lettuce all right

lettuce that’s a good one all right

let’s see i see another one came through

let’s see let’s see oh sweet potatoes i

love

sweet potatoes yes okay we have a sweet

potato

nice give me some more plant-based foods

yes broccoli delicious all right

we have broccoli let me take about four

more okay

tell me some more plant-based foods here

we go

yes carrots apples y’all apples are my

favorite fruits

apples are my favorite fruits okay

all right carrots all right we have

apples

give me two more two more guys two more

foods that people eat on a plant-based

diet yes

spinach excellent spinach okay

very good now pay attention we’re gonna

use this for our lesson okay

let’s see some more coming through let

me see

got apples and carrots let me see oh

cucumbers yes

all right cucumbers okay now

we have all of these foods on our white

board for class today right

here’s what i want us to do we’re

talking about a plant-based diet

now i want you to try to make a sentence

that describes what’s on the screen

so here we go i want you

using plant based diet

and spinach can you make

a sentence i want you to connect these

two uh-oh

came down got to put it back up y’all

you see that you see how smooth that was

all right i want you to make your own

sentence

but you need to connect plant-based diet

and spinach so again

in the comment section we were talking

about plant-based diets right being

healthy

and we mentioned so many different

vegetables and fruits that we can eat on

a plant-based diet

if you had to make a sentence using

plant-based diet

and spinach what could you say

remember spinach and plant-based diet

must be in your sentence let’s see what

you say

i see a lot of foods still coming

through nuts avocado

mango tomatoes beans i love all of those

things right

now again how can you make a sentence

using plant-based diet

and spinach for example i could say uh

i’m on a plant-based

diet so i eat a lot of spinach you see

what happened there right

now let me see the sentences you can

make here we go

all right let me make uh let me get a

blank one for you hold on one second

okay here we go another one came through

let’s see

i think people who have a plant-based

diet eat a lot of healthy stuff

like fruits and vegetables for example

apples and spinach now

that’s more than one sentence but an

excellent way of combining the word

and the expression that was written

excellent job very good very good

all right here we go on a plant-based

diet

spinach is essential be careful with the

spelling e-s-s-e-n-t-i-a-l

but excellent job very good again we’re

getting this

real-time practice all right here we go

another one

the key ingredient of my plant-based

diet is spinach whoa

you guys are doing excellent excellent

so once again let me show it on the

screen

all right let’s do this excellent job

excellent job all right

here we go um the spinach

oh spinach is very important for a

plant-based diet

okay good spinach is very is a very

excellent choice for a plant-based diet

excellent job

excellent job let me see three more here

we go

uh if you want to do a plant-based diet

or follow

a plant-based diet oh it went away hold

on one second

if you want to follow a plant-based diet

you should eat

spinach excellent very good all right

when you

are sticking to sticking to a

plant-based diet

spinach is one of the most important

ingredients

very good all right two more excellent

sentences guys

excellent here we go this week i’ve

decided hold on this week

i’ve decided to follow a plant-based

diet or

be on a plant-based diet based on

spinach all right i like that one more

let me scroll down one more here we go

let’s see let’s see uh spinach is a

great option for a plant-based diet

excellent job excellent job so again

we understand how important health is

and we suddenly got this topic of

plant-based diet it popped up in the

comments section

and then we listed various foods that we

could eat on a

plant-based diet and then you were asked

to make these sentences

i purposely did that to help you think

on the fly

now think on the fly let me show you

what that means everyone think

on the fly here we go so

think on the fly this literally means to

think

without having any preparation now the

expression

is think on

the fly now this just

means without any preparation

so i had to think on the fly i wasn’t

able to prepare

prior to making that statement or

creating a sentence

think on the fly so that’s a new

expression for you guys all right

so this is excellent you guys did a very

good job

so now we understand again we’re talking

about health we’re talking about

plant-based diet and i want us to now

look

at some expressions and some words here

we go

so our first expression is alive

and well now really quickly for

pronunciation practice

everyone after me alive and

well good again alive

and well good job remember the v

sound that v can be tricky you need to

put your front teeth on your bottom

lip alive good a little bit of vibration

alive excellent alive

and well now this is an expression that

we use very often in english

and it means to be well and

healthy so first example sentence

michael is alive and well

today very simple sentence right it

means michael’s healthy

but a different way of saying that

michael is alive and well

today now next we have this one

she found out that her aunt is

alive and well and living

in arizona all right she found out her

mom her aunt

alive and well she’s healthy again

another way of saying that

and finally everyone is

alive and well all right

everyone is alive and well very simple

so again what i want you to do now is i

want you to make your own sentence using

a live and well all right so in the

comment section everyone

make your own sentence using alive

and well alive and well let me put it on

the screen real quick

alive and well all right let me erase

this real quick let’s get a

let’s get another another one for you

here we go

alive and well is what we’re looking at

alive and well let’s erase this

and in the comments i just want you to

make your own sentence

using a live and

well all right let’s see some sentences

using alive

and well here we go uh all right let me

see let me see

yes good job thank god i’m alive and

well today

excellent excellent um let’s see

i go to the gym every day in order to

keep myself

alive and well all right you can work

with that good good

all right let’s see let’s see let’s see

again

let’s see give me a sentence using a

live and well

let’s see let’s see i see them since

it’s coming in but i want some more

fred oh it went away here we go fred

says

hey fred i’m alive and well since i

started to eat

healthy food good very good very good

excellent all right okay i work out

every day because i want to be

alive and well all right so you’re

understanding it means

help it means healthy alright samantha

says i hope everybody

is alive and well not r but

is alive and well good all right let’s

see let’s see

here we go let me see some more coming

through alive

and well hold on uh let’s see let’s see

let’s see

hold on keep him coming um okay he

recovered so good

so now he’s alive and well okay he

recovered so now he’s alive and well

good all right now this is what i want

you to do

i want you to think about what we just

talked about the plant-based diet right

so how can you make a sentence

using alive and well plus

we’re going to say a plant

based diet now we’re going to combine

what we talked about first

so how can you make a sentence

using both a live and well and

a plant based diet you need to use both

of them

together and make your sentence

alive and well and plant-based

diet i’ll take about two or three i want

to see how you can combine alive and

well which just means really healthy

and plant-based diet in one sentence

how can you combine them and make one

sentence let’s see let’s see

all right i like this sentence though i

just got my covet test results and thank

god i’m alive and well

good congratulations very good all right

here we go

um let me see let me see hold on

again you have to use a live and well

and

plant-based diet in the same sentence

okay all right a plant-based diet will

help you

stay alive and well okay all right let’s

see

um let’s see let’s see

all right hold on i’m alive and well

since okay i’m alive and well

oh i’m alive and well since i initiated

following plant-based diet okay

i’m alive and well since i started

following

a plant-based diet you can say that let

me erase this so you all can see

all right let me do another one let’s

see keep them coming try to combine

both of them try to combine both of them

all right

let’s see um okay following a

plant-based diet will make you alive and

well or help you stay

alive and well good all right good good

let’s do one more

let’s do one more hey ronnie

all right hold on here we go um let’s

see let’s see let’s see

uh you should try okay you should try a

plant-based diet to feel more alive and

well

to be more alive and well all right good

so you all understand the meaning of the

expression

alive and well now why am i asking you

to make these sentences

immediately after you learn the

expression now i’ve taught this um

in one of my youtube lessons before that

when you learn something you need to

immediately use it

at least three times within 24 hours and

that’s how you’ll remember whatever it

is you’re learning

so we all know now alive and well

excellent job everyone excellent job so

now i want us to look at the next

expression we’re going to see what the

next expression is

this expression again deals with health

here we go

all right so the next one is fit as

a fiddle now this has a lot of f’s so

after me

fit as a fiddle

good again fit as a fiddle

good last time fit as a fiddle

good the f sound is tricky now a fiddle

is kind of like a small violin right a

small violin

mouth this just means of to be

physically

fit and healthy in good physical

condition

very healthy and strong so here’s an

example sentence

i feel as fit as a fiddle

this morning to feel really good all

right

next the doctor said he was fit

as a fiddle and finally

my grandmother is 16 excuse me is 90

but she’s fit as a fiddle

my grandmother is 90 but she’s

fit as a fiddle now what we’re gonna do

is a little bit different i’m gonna

teach you a pattern now okay

we’re gonna look at a pattern again the

sentence was my grandmother

is 90 but she’s fit as

a fiddle so we’re gonna see if we can

actually

change this sentence so here we go we’re

gonna go to my screen

and we’re going to see if we can change

this sentence

and make it our own all right i got to

do a little bit of logistics so you guys

hang in there with me

all right here we go we’re going to

change this again

my grandmother hold on one second let’s

take you to my screen

here we go all right so again my

grandmother

is 90. here we go my

cancel yes all right here we go

looking at this my grandmother is

all right again you can make your

sentences and put them in the comments

section

my grandmother is 90

and she is as fit

is oh let’s go backwards hold on one

second guys

is as fit

hold on fit as a fiddle

all right now this is what i want you to

again we’re practicing how to also

make proper sentences let me show you

what you’re going to do

all i want you to do i want everyone to

do the same thing

i want you to look at this i want you to

change this let’s change the color first

so that you guys can see

all right let’s do green all right

change

this number and change

these two pieces of information all

right so for example i can say

my dad

and i can say he’s 65

and i can say he so the new sentence

would be my

dad is 65 and he is

fit as a fiddle so what i want you to do

change just the pieces of information

that i

highlighted and make your own sentence

this is a

this is b and this is c so change

a b and c and i want you to make your

own

sentence following this pattern all

right

here we go my grandmother is 90 and she

is fit as a fiddle

change a b and c all right change a b

and c

all right okay here we go our beautiful

teacher miss tiffany is as fit as a

fiddle thank you very much

all right let’s see okay again change a

b and c all right hold on let’s see

let’s see

again following the pattern here we go

excellent

my neighbor is 80 and he’s fit oh

not fit and fiddle fit as a fiddle

okay fit as a fiddle here we go my

mother is 66

but she is fit as a fiddle good very

good

all right my coach okay you gotta look

at the pattern do it again

let’s see let’s see okay my brother is

59 be careful is is twice is 59

and he is as fit as a fiddle excellent

what i’m trying to help you do is this

is actually helping your grammar

i don’t teach grammar but i give you

tips to will that will help you

improve your grammar just like this tip

right here

learning how to follow a pattern let’s

see here we go

some more sentences my cat is 14

and she is fit as a fiddle excellent

very good

my grandfather is 85 and he is as fit as

a fiddle

excellent job very good let’s see

another one

let’s see another one here we go let’s

see some more coming in

um let’s see let’s see i am 18 and i am

fit as

a fiddle all right good good i believe

it all right

give me one more let me see one more

let’s see

my uncle is almost 70 and he is as fit

a fiddle excellent job excellent so you

see what happened

we have the same pieces of information

right

all we did was we changed little pieces

of the sentence and followed the same

pattern

and we created a sentence about someone

being fit

as a fiddle or extremely healthy

excellent job very good all right now

we’re going to look at the next

expression the next vocabulary word all

right

let’s see what the next vocabulary word

is about

health here we go robust

robust again after me robust

good again robust

excellent now robust just means strong

and healthy vigorous having or

exhibiting

strength or vigorous health a very

robust

man right very strong having lots of

energy right

so here are some example sentences

he looks robust and healthy enough

number two they said he was a robust

young man and number three

they all look very robust all right

they look very healthy they look very

strong

so they all look very robust they said

he was a robust young man

so let’s look at this one they all look

very robust let’s see if we can make our

own sentences again

following what we just talked about

following the idea of

changing the words but following the

same pattern so again

they all look very robust

let’s add this and we’re going to bring

a new

layer all right here we go so the

sentence

again is let’s add it this way here we

uh let’s do this they all

look all right it’s on the screen all

look very

row bust all right

uh oh spelled it wrong hold on guys hold

on one second

row bust now what i want you to do again

following the pattern i just want you to

change

one piece of information all right let’s

do this let’s change this one okay

all right they all look very robust now

you’re just going to change that but i

want to see if you catch it all right

okay because you’re going to have to

also kind of look at these things

as well how can you make a new sentence

alright so let’s say

she or he how can you make a new

sentence here we go i see some coming

through

all right my teacher is robust and

healthy thank you very much i appreciate

that

all right let’s see all right let’s see

let’s see let’s see

okay they all look very robust yes

that’s the sentence uh huh

all right my brother looks very robust

excellent very good all right he is

robust good

try to use the pattern though let’s see

uh my husband looks robust

and handsome excellent very good all

right

my mom looks very robust excellent very

good hey monique good to see you monique

says arnold schwarzenegger looks very

robust

yes he does he’s in really good

shape all right ganesha’s teacher

tiffany

looks robust when teaching people very

true

whenever i teach i get a whole lot of

energy very true all right

two more let me see let’s see all right

um let me see let me see uh is it rude

to call a woman

robust so it’s not rude but i’ll be very

honest

it’s more commonly used when speaking

about a guy but it’s not rude like you

just said i look robust i’m not offended

it’s not a bad thing but good question

very good question all right and my dad

looks very robust final one final one

let’s see let’s see

um let me see let me see here we go

let’s see

let me see let me see bolt my dog

is very robust excellent very good job

so you’re understanding

how to use this word in a real

sentence about real life so again we had

row bust first expression what’s the

first expression we learned here we go

alive and well then we had

fit as a fiddle and finally we had

robust

all right these expressions and this

vocabulary word can be used whenever
