TRANSCRIPT
Hi and welcome back to engVids. Im your teacher today, Benjamin. Lets 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 Ive 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 theyve 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 whats needed to get top grades in whether youre a native
speaker of English or an ESL learner doing some kind of exam. So, thanks for watching.
Lets 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 wouldnt 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 well come to in a moment, is the adjective.
Creativity. Creativity is, some of you will already know, its the ability to kind of
come up with new ideas. Artists, painters, musicians are full of creativity. Theyre
full of ideas. And if you check out my video on creative writing, youll get some ideas
for developing your creativity.
Enthusiasm. Yep. Do I approach this lesson going, Oh no, Ive got to speak to those
guys on engVid again. Or no, Im like, Yes, Ive got something cool to teach them. Lets
go. Im 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, lets... Well stop doing that and were going to do this instead.
Flexibility. Yep. If youre flexible, you can bend. Yep. Youre very good at yoga. Thats
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 Im sure it wont cause too much of a problem.
I was speaking to a friend back home a couple of weeks ago. […]

TRANSCRIPT
Have you ever noticed how there are some people who always express themselves beautifully in their texts, their WhatsApps, their emails? They put thought into each one, and each one you kind of look forward to getting. Maybe they choose their emojis very carefully, maybe they choose their... Just what they write and it hits the right note. Well, thats because theyve spent time thinking about how they write. And what Im going to be doing today is sharing some ideas with you about how you can start nurturing your own writing. Sound good? Cool. Lets carry on. In case you dont know me, my names Benjamin. Im one of the teachers from engVid.
Okay, so if you really want to get good at something, you need to practice. Yep, Ive said that before. So, if you want to get good at writing, the main thing youre going to need to do is set aside some daily time for writing. Now, according to your sort of commitments and schedule, you will know when the best time is. Maybe youre more productive in the morning, maybe there are less distractions late at night. One famous writer, Burleigh Doherty, used to put her children to bed and then put a fire... Put a log on the fire, and she would write until the log had burnt all the way down. So, that was her daily practice. It was in the evening when there were no distractions. And in todays age, there are a lot of distractions. Our phone is a constant source of distraction, messaging us, and theres always something to look at and do on your phone. Well, if youre going to develop your writing practice, youre going to need to put your phone down at times to concentrate on it. So, find a time that works for you and stick to it. Like, Ive tried this before, okay, and its not easy because you always have a million things that you need to do that will always be an urgent to-do list. But thats not going away, yeah? That will be with us until the day we die. Theres always going to be things to do. What you need to do is be able to prioritize and switch off some of those needs and demands on our time so that you make the time for your writing. Why would you bother doing that? I hear you ask. Well, Im not guaranteeing that youre going to be like J.K. Rowling with Harry Potter and be a blockbuster bestseller, okay? There are no guarantees that anything will get published. You have to want to develop your writing because you want to do it, yeah, for the simple pleasure of being able to communicate articulately, concisely exactly what you want to be able to write, let alone requirements for good use of English at work and at exam level. So, theres two types of writing, really. Theres reflection, sort of diary writing, and creative writing, and Im going to look at both.
So, I was reading a quote earlier today by... Who was it? Oscar Wilde, that was it. And he said, I always take my diary on a train with me because if I get bored... Im paraphrasing now. If I get bored, I want to have something sensational to read about. So, a diary can provide a record that will last a long, long, long, long time. Yep. You might find that your children read your diary in many years down the line. And the process of writing a diary, so at the end of the day, writing down whats happened, and your thoughts, and anything else you want to put in there can be therapeutic. Yep. Youre getting stuff off your chest. Yep. Any kind of worries and things, you can write down, and by writing them down, it seems to lessen that stress. You might find that you sleep better. So, its not actually that good for us to be looking at blue screens before we go to sleep, but if you can get into the habit of writing a diary, its not always practical. You might find that you sleep better. […] Improve Your Creative Writing: Why & How](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/uyk_WFe6eTE/mqdefault.jpg)
