Read along to learn the English phrases YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU and YOLO!
In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English saying, "You can't take it with you." When you say you can't take it with you in English, it's a humorous way to talk about the fact that when you die, it's a loud train, eh? Can you guys hear that? I'll just keep going.
It's a humorous way to talk about the fact that when you die you can't take your house, your car or your money with you. And so it's kind of suggesting that you should either, a) Spend all of it before you die, or what I think is a better idea, b, give away generously some of the money to causes that need it.
So you can do either, and the phrase can mean the same thing for both. You can't take it with you simply means, well, why are you saving all of your money for a later day when eventually you're going to die and you can't take that money with you to whatever lies beyond. The second phrase I wanted to teach you today is YOLO.
It's actually an acronym. I think I might have taught this one before, but YOLO is kind of like a young person's way of saying you only live once or just have a really good time because you're gonna die eventually. You only live once. YOLO.
You'll hear this sometimes when you watch TV or other shows. So to review, you can't take it with you. A humorous way to talk about money and things and material possessions. You can't take it with you, so you might as well enjoy them while you're here. And my suggestion would be is if you can afford it, donate to worthy causes.
And the second one is YOLO. Sorry if you're wondering what all the noise is, we now have a garbage truck going by. YOLO means you only live once, so enjoy life as much as you can. By the way, did you see the there's an actual barber pole here.
That's kind of that's kind of a Blast from the past, but hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Unsal. I was wondering how common are fences in residential areas in Canada? Is privacy that important for most homeowners, or are fences mostly used to mark property lines?
Just to mark property lines. Thanks for another great lesson. You're awesome. Have a great day. Bye. My response: Very common. It is usually the first thing a homeowner builds when buying a new house in a town or city. They are far less common out in the country.
So yeah, fences like people build fences, especially in residential areas, as you mentioned. I'm just going to move my tripod off to the side here. There's a few more people out and about today than I was expecting. Yes, generally every house in a town or city in the backyard will have a fence so that you have some privacy, even if the yard is really, really small.
You'll have some privacy. So yeah, there's a barbershop here. So that's kind of cool. So a barbershop is traditionally a place where men would go to get their hair cut. It looks like they offer haircuts. I don't think I'm getting the sign on there very well.
And all kinds of other things. So I've never been. I still just get my hair cut at home by Barber Jen. She takes care of that for me. So now it's quieted down a little bit. It was extremely busy in town. There were people on the sidewalk.
There was, so we found him. There's the garbage truck. He's actually putting the garbage into the back now. And maybe as I speak, it's actually picking up a little bit again, a little bit more traffic. I'm not normally here this early in the morning.
I had to bring my daughter to school, which this year she's going to drive by herself, but we just had a little bit of yeah we have enough vehicles we just aren't using them efficiently right now so anyways it's almost 4 minutes you I feel a little bit distracted this morning which is pretty normal for a Tuesday I also stayed up way too late last night so that might be having some effect. Anyways thanks for watching this short English lesson I'll see you next week with another one.
Bye.
