hey welcome to episode 2 of the real life english series in today's episode i am going to teach you real english vocabulary real english expressions and i'm also going to teach you a fluency pattern that you can use today and sound more like a native english speaker when you request something i also have some quizzes just for you
00:00so i hope you're ready alright i'm teacher tiffany let's jump right in all right so we're going to start off by looking at a situation a real life situation here we have a man and a woman sitting together looking at their cell phones now the woman is probably saying honey you are more tech savvy than me can you please show me how to work this new phone you bought for me now this is a very natural conversation a very natural request
00:00that this woman is making but what's the pattern that she used let me show you the pattern she used she said his name or a nickname which is honey and i'll explain then she gave the reason or the current situation and finally she made her request she didn't just immediately make the request she followed this pattern
00:00and this formula now i do want to explain something to you really quickly honey you may be asking teacher what does honey mean now honey is just a term of endearment for someone you love so for example my mother will call my father honey or dear likewise my father will call my mother honey
00:00or dear so you can call your spouse your boyfriend or your girlfriend honey in english we say honey good job one more time after me honey excellent all right now she also said something that maybe you haven't heard before she said tech savvy after me tech savvy excellent now tech savvy just means well informed about
00:00or good at using modern technology so maybe you are tech savvy maybe you are really good at using computers and cell phones and other things you can say ah i'm tech savvy makes sense right now look again at what she said she said honey the name you are more tech savvy than me she's giving the reason before she makes the request honey you're
00:00so good with technology right now the request comes can you please show me right so what about this last part work this what does it mean to work something this is again a real english expression real life english work something means to use something right so for example i have my cell phone right here i am very familiar with my cell phone i know how to work it because i've used it for a while so this individual was telling her husband hey baby hey honey you're tech savvy you're really good with technology can you please help me i don't know how to work it makes sense right so once again looking at this image at this situation we have the pattern name plus reason or situation plus the request and this is exactly how you are going to use the pattern as well now let me quiz you and see if you remember the words i just taught you are you ready for our first quiz i hope you are here we go all right quiz number one now you only have five seconds for each question here we go now let's see the first question is right here i want you to fill in the blank technology is a big part of life so little kids are very five seconds all right time what is the answer yes you got it exactly little kids are very tech savvy makes sense right a lot of kids even my four-year-old niece she's really good with technology tech savvy all right let's see how you do with question number two here we go question number two fill in the blank he just bought a new smart tv for his office but he doesn't know how to what's the answer five seconds here we go all right time what's the answer come on you got it exactly he doesn't know how to work it or use it makes sense right excellent job excellent now let's see another situation that uses the pattern that we learned here we go here is the next situation we have again what looks like a husband
