TRANSCRIPT
Hi and welcome back to engVids. I'm your teacher today, Benjamin. Let's go. What we doing today?
We are looking at 10 super useful nouns to begin with that you can use in all areas of
life really, but I've especially chosen these words because I feel that they would be useful
to you in the world of work. Okay. So, in this lesson, we will explore the meanings
of these nouns, which are great for giving compliments and, you know, telling someone
that they've done a good job and are doing a good job. We will then look at how they
are used as adjectives. The opposite qualities, the antonyms, when they... So, what is the
opposite of charming, for example. And then we will look at adverbs, how these nouns go
into adverbs. And I feel that using adverbs is a really good way of showing sophistication
in your language, which is what's needed to get top grades in whether you're a native
speaker of English or an ESL learner doing some kind of exam. So, thanks for watching.
Let's get down to work.
Charm. Think of Prince Charming. Yep. He makes everyone feel good. He enters the party and
immediately every single person he speaks to leaves the conversation feeling better
about themselves. Charm means to give delight. Sounds good? I wouldn't mind a bit of that.
Consistency. Consistency. Could you repeat that at home for me? Consistency. Excellent.
Now, consistency as a character quality is when you do the same thing day in, day out,
again and again. So, if you... Your consistency, how are you with getting places on time? Is
your punctuality, would you say that you are consistent? Yep. So, the consistency is the
ability to do something again and again and again in the same way. I said consistent,
which we'll come to in a moment, is the adjective.
Creativity. Creativity is, some of you will already know, it's the ability to kind of
come up with new ideas. Artists, painters, musicians are full of creativity. They're
full of ideas. And if you check out my video on creative writing, you'll get some ideas
for developing your creativity.
Enthusiasm. Yep. Do I approach this lesson going, "Oh no, I've got to speak to those
guys on engVid again." Or no, I'm like, "Yes, I've got something cool to teach them. Let's
go. I'm going to roll up my sleeves and get down to work." Full of enthusiasm, the desire
to get fully involved in life and every single moment along the way.
Flexibility. If someone says, "Can we change a plan?" Are you able to go, "Yeah, okay.
Yeah. No, let's... We'll stop doing that and we're going to do this instead."
Flexibility. Yep. If you're flexible, you can bend. Yep. You're very good at yoga. That's
physical flexibility. Yep. The other type of flexibility is being able to move and be
adaptable in the way you do things. Okay. You can see the relevance for business English.
Thank you very much for your flexibility if someone changes a plan.
Okay. Formality. Formality is how smart something is. I would appreciate a degree of formality
in your appearance on Monday morning. A degree of I would appreciate it if you could be quite
smart on Monday. So, the level of formality is how smart or the opposite extreme, how scruffy,
not smart, as in physical clothing, et cetera, you present yourself. Formality.
Patience. Yep. If something bad happens, if someone makes a mistake, are you able to say,
"Never mind. Yep. Better luck next time or I'm sure it won't cause too much of a problem."
I was speaking to a friend back home a couple of weeks ago. […]

Thank you for sharing this.Thank you also for the way you taught this. You are engaging and interesting to listen to.
Amazing 🎉
The best camparison of British and North American accents I've ever seen. Actually, I find the RP the best English at all, but the accent of Emma is also very good sounding. Thanks a lot for both teachers!
Dont forget Sandwich
I love the way you teach us ❤ you are charming and warm !
The sweater is ugly --> The woman in the cafe vomited her coffee at the sight of the man’s attire, causing a small child to weep in the arms of a disgruntled nanny from Romania who cursed him in a language he did not know. (Just kidding)
"The sound from the crowd was deafening," is a good sentence because deafening is emphasized by being the last word in the sentence. The greatest emphasis on a word in a sentence is reached by putting it last. Deafening also has three syllables, that follows six words with only on syllable each. 1 1 1 1 1 1 3. That also has an effect, the rhythm of syllables
Good luck, teacher Benjamin.
Thanks❤️

You are a born actor Benjamin Sir. I have been seeing your videos for a long time and my God I am having a whale of a time. Your lessons are just out of the box. ❤
I'm hoping to get to London and see THE MOUSETRAP the week after I retire (and reach my 66th birthday!), so I hope it will still be playing then. I've been in two community theatre productions of the Agatha Christie classic, in 1983 (as Christopher Wren), and in 2014 (as Mr. Paravacini), so seeing the London production is definitely on my 'bucket list' of things to do!
Feels so real that it made my frustration level go up😂
Thank you teach
Watching from Namibia 😊 much love
THANK YOU SO---
