it has is rice and teriyaki beef that sounds easy but how do i make it first you need to make some white rice then what do i do then you need to shred some beef and marinate it with teriyaki sauce then you cook it and eat it okay i got it and how do you plan on cooking the cream pasta do you want to make pasta i got this new recipe for basic Egg pasta and it's quite easy oh cool but i forgot to buy flour don't worry i brought a flour enough to make pasta
for two first whip together the flour and salt with a fork in a mixing bowl crack the eggs into the middle of the bowl okay shall i whisk the eggs yes whisk until it starts forming a very soft dough then gently folding the dough on Itself flattening and folding again it will be extremely soft at first then gradually start to firm up okay it is firm enough to knead now begin kneading the dough slice into the dough with a paring knife flatten one piece of dough and feed it through the pasta roller okay i feed
it through a couple of times it's smooth enough to cut now okay we will switch to the noodle cutter and Run the sheet of pasta through the cutter and we have the fresh egg pasta homemade okay now let's make the sauce i will share my sauce making with you first you heat olive in a medium pan over medium heat chop garlic then add into the pan and stir until fragrant one to two minutes okay shall i add butter yes and stir constantly until melted Then pour in chicken broth then add pepper and salt okay it's
boiling shall i add the pasta yes and stir heavy cream and parsley into the pasta then grate the parmesan cheese and mix thoroughly okay all done that smells good well done thanks and our last main dish is grilled salmon okay would you mind preheating the oven to 450 degrees fahrenheit Please i will season the salmon with salt and pepper [Music] add some cheese and squeeze in a couple of drops of lemon juice okay ready now place salmon skin side down how long do i set the cooking timer grill until salmon is cooked through about 12
to 15 minutes okay the main dishes are ready now let's Move to the side dishes can you tell me how to do your famous delicious chicken nuggets oh it's easy i will season the chicken with garlic salt and pepper then coat it with flour then you prepare the bread crumbs i will season it with salt and pepper okay then whisk the egg and water in a bowl then dip the chicken in the egg mixture then bread crumbs Gently pressing the crumbs into the chicken ok the chicken is coated well then heat the vegetable oil in
a large frying pan over medium-high heat add the chicken pieces to the pan and fry until it turns brown on each side okay done great and the big secret is to sprinkle the nuggets with a little bit of salt while it is hot and sir oh that is very nice Where did you get the recipe from i have a cookbook please help me with the presentation of the dish here take this plate in tissues lay the tissues on the plate and then put the nuggets on the plate please pass me that tomato sauce bottle it
will enhance its taste good idea do you want to know it's recipe of course it's very tasty it's also very Cheap easy and fast to cook i'm giving you a cd of this recipe i hope that you will try it well i shall try it on sunday and now we should finish our side dishes before we move to make dessert okay peel those potatoes then place potatoes and water to cover in a large saucepan bring to a boil reduce heat cook until tender okay what's next drain return to pan Mash potatoes to to desired consistency
stir in add salt and heavy cream if you like it creamy yes can i add a little garlic sure oh it smells nice okay mashed potatoes are ready now for the garlic bread since the bread then diced the garlic into small pieces and mix it with butter and spread it on the bread and place it In the oven and bake for five minutes all done so what should we do for dessert let's make chocolate brownies i'm really good at this but we don't have much time left to make brownies what if i told you that
you don't need to melt chocolate or chocolate chips just one bowl in five minutes bringing it all together to make the best brownies you've ever eaten really is that possible Yes the best part is they're only 144 calories each wow tell me how to do it every step is the same but the one ingredient i add these brownies that is different from most recipes is a small amount of oil once you have all the ingredients mix them all then bake for 10 minutes [Music] okay the dessert will be ready just in time Great i think

as you say heidi i was cheated what i've watched thousands of swatch videos of well-known beauty bloggers and their reviews were so good but when i tried on my lips they were totally different in the orange red tone i couldn't see orange just red Besides the texture is too dry while this brand introduces that moisturizing is the strength of the collection that's it i thought your boyfriend went to the hotel with another girl i thought you nearly dropped your chin on the floor when you heard i was cheating don't be upset rachel maybe this collection
doesn't suit you it may suit others if i were you i would send them feedback Hopefully they'll read and improve their next products you know i showed my bare face a whole day to wait for it oh it must be a nightmare for a makeup lover like you but everything sometimes isn't what we hope let's eat pizza bill's on me kathy asked liz to fix her makeup after having an argument with her boyfriend Liz open the door for me please wait for me a few seconds liz help me please of course i will help you

are temperatures near or above normal that's good you can go to the beach in relax or do some activities outside like camping or swimming i will try to go out this summer [Music] Hometown [Music] so john where are you from i guess my hometown is not too big it's a little town in the countryside in northampton there are only 10 000 people there so it is very quiet in my hometown i do not really like it wow there aren't very many people no it's very small is there anywhere to go in your town There aren't
very many businesses there isn't a shopping mall there are a lot of grocery stores and there are a lot of gas stations but there isn't much to do there oh really are there any movie theaters well there is one movie theater so that's a nice thing to do is the movie theater good or bad in fact there are many screens in this video there are eight different movies showing How about at night what do you want to ask about what's fun to do how about at night is there very much nightlife yeah there is not
so much but there is a bowling alley there is a bowling alley and a movie theater anything more to do there is one restaurant where you can go for tacos and burritos and there's one more restaurant for Pizza and spaghetti um that must be boring but during the day time you can go to the park what's inside the park there's a river that goes through the town so in the middle of town there's a river and there's a park that goes along both sides of the river and at the park there is a tennis court
and a disc golf course disco golf yeah i like to play disc golf With my friends it's really fun and after we finish playing disc golf we usually go to the pizza restaurant oh i see how about schools are there very many schools let's see no there aren't very many there's only one elementary school one junior high school and one high school that's it interesting yeah there aren't very many schools but the town doesn't need More schools because there aren't very many people there i see are there any mountains no the whole area is a
very flat there are no mountains but there are a lot of trees in fact there are trees on my town's sign because my town is famous for all the trees on every street oh wow sounds like a great city so harley as i understand you live in croatia Where are you from what do you like and dislike about your place yes i live in croatia in a city named fula where is the city actually it is situated in the israelian peninsula and it's the biggest city in istria it counts a population of around 60 000
and do you like it what i like about hula is the fact that it's perfectly sized It's not too big nor too small and it has all of the civilization benefits as any western european city that's good though for example in the area of education and culture there is a university a theater a cinema a great number of galleries museums libraries there are some historical sites and so on then for example in the health area There is a hospital a number of private clinics dentist offices ambulances and pharmacies and so on what about places for
entertainment there are places to go such as restaurants bars exhibitions concerts especially in the summer during various festivals sports gastronomics musicals dances and theatrical events Wow that sounds interesting also pula is surrounded by the adriatic sea so you can always go to the beach or to one of the many beaches to sunbathe or go fishing or sailing really i really like living near the sea if you prefer the land you can take a field trip to the surrounding places and discover their natural and other attractions all together i really love living there Okay you only
told me about your positive sides of living in pula what about your dislikes well like any other place there is no perfection the downside is that we have a huge traffic problem i would say especially lately due to some construction projects that sounds uncomfortable so i recommend using public transportation whenever possible Or simply going on foot some people might say that pula doesn't exactly have a wild nightlife but i don't consider it a downside rather a peaceful alternative to some other tourist destinations so that's it would you prefer to live somewhere else to be honest
i'm not kind of a city person and i am quite fed up with the traffic jam in the city So if i were to live somewhere else it would have to be somewhere off the beaten track to escape the hustle and bustle of city life that way i can be closer to nature and soak up fresh air every morning most people in this world do not live in their home towns why well i guess the majority of people feel that there could be more opportunities outside of their hometowns and consequently comfort zones Therefore many believe
that living in such a comfortable place with relatives and friends can be distracting and too relaxing on the way of pursuing goals they might go abroad as well right yes people not only youth strive to explore other places and experience different cultures across the globe which affects a person's personality more the hometown of the current city why Hometown defines how a person behaves and the current city defines how a person wants to change i think that the hometown has a much greater impact on a person than the current city okay thanks harley thank you the
passive voice jaden is being interviewed by jessica for the new post on the school website oh hi nice to meet you Pleased to meet you here how are you doing today i'm great what about you i'm good too okay jaden let's start our talk today can you introduce a little bit about yourself yeah of course my name is jaden thomas i'm a student at brookhill high school i was born in 2004 in birmingham in birmingham so why did you move to This city just because my house was built near our school and it is also
said to be one of the best schools in england so yeah i moved here when i was six years old what made you decide to choose this school firstly i think i'm taken care of by all the college staff when i study here that's great who is your best teacher in This school it's hard to choose the best but i would say it is mrs johnstone is she a chemistry teacher yeah i have been learning a lot from her and she is friendly as well last winter i was invited to her christmas party with her
family wow has she been told that you got the first prize not yet i phoned her but she didn't Answer i'm going to meet her tomorrow at school probably she will be so proud of you i hope so i think she expected a lot and i didn't want to disappoint her as well okay so let's talk about your study how did you prepare for this competition i'm lucky that i was given many useful books from teachers and students who already joined to the test so you were revising a lot for the preparation Weren't you yes
and i was tested every week by my teachers so i knew what i needed to improve you are hard-working though do you have any special suggestions to prepare for the exam i think when i had to memorize something i usually wrote songs about that wow can you sing or play musical instruments i can play piano a little bit the songs are kind of silly but it made Me feel less stressed when i studied [Music] you must perform one day at school i will try to practice more one day thank you so how did your parents
feel when you won you might think that they would be very excited yes of course you did it so well yeah but they only told me that i was just luckier than other students oh Really that sounds strange yeah they said that because my parents didn't want me to be overconfident did your family do anything to celebrate your win yeah we are planning but i guess we will do it on the weekend what will you do for the celebration perhaps we will have a lovely dinner at a restaurant wow so what about you how did
you feel I'm really surprised i just wanted to get the prize because it can be used when i apply to university what are you going to study at university i'm considering between material science and chemistry do you have any dream universities everyone wants to go to cambridge so do i but it is really difficult but you are also Excellent our school is so lucky to have you no i am so normal i still need to try my best to get my dream university well good luck to you i hope i can have a talk again

You can come here to check they're all wet and some chairs were moved did you check your working space has your computer been stolen no i don't think there was a robber so someone came inside and just opened the doors and went out that's ridiculous what about the kitchen it's so strange all the dishes are cleaned the chicken was baked and actually smells really good Did we hire any housekeepers today and then you forgot i never call them on weekdays and they told me they can't come this month as well maybe they changed the plan
but you forgot let me check the phone i haven't been told anything i'm a bit scared now what exactly happened here me too let's go around and check the House one more time okay [Music] have you found anything i saw a suitcase here whose is it where did you see that in the garage it looks quite familiar is that the one our daughter received on her birthday last year is it i don't remember i think so what why are you here at the moment Aren't you supposed to be at university no mom i was told
by my tutor that i can go home early for this winter break why did you do something wrong nope i just finished all the credits earlier why are you guys so surprised we thought that there was a robber at the house oh dear it's just me why didn't you tell us i was so scared i wanted to surprise you guys it's too Much for me dear have you eaten anything nope have you seen the chicken baked i was so hungry okay let's go inside baby i'll make something for you sure mom [Music] roommates situation one

most of my classes are in the morning so i will do the chores at noon great and when i get back at night i'll do the rest how do you feel about guests and Socializing in the dorm i have a girlfriend if you're okay with it you'll hang out in our room occasionally sure i'm cool with that just tell me before she gets here thank you for understanding are you taking any extracurriculars or playing sports on campus i'm currently in the environmental club i'm planning on joining the soccer team do you play soccer I like
watching football but i don't play what do you do in your spare time do you watch tv shows together sure i want to apply for a part-time job in my spare time it'd be fun to go together it's a good idea it's a good opportunity to have more experiences are you planning on going home a lot i only trot back to my parents house for The holidays i want to go home every weekend so you can invite your friends over on the weekend great and how do you like to study i like listening to music
when i study do you mind i like studying in silence but it's okay we can schedule our study time differently or i can go to the university library okay and what are you planning to do Over summer break i don't have any plan yet how about you i will go to the beach to my friend's party you can come with me if you want that sounds fun we need to relax after this semester that's right we'll have so much fun living together i'm so excited to start our university life together [Music] Situation two lucas comes
back home from college and his little brother mike wants his advice on living with roommates hi lucas welcome home i missed you hey mike i missed you too have you been good to mom and dad yes i have and i'm so excited for you to come home for this summer holiday tell me everything about your college life is it fun do you have a roommate It's fun but also tough i have a roommate but i don't like him have so much trouble living together really why he is slobby and unorganized we just can't get along
we have nothing in common and his annoying behaviors are driving me crazy how bad is he for example it's one thing to leave his shoes and socks on his bedroom floor that is his own private space after all But don't be a slob in shared spaces like the kitchen or living room that's so rude did you guys agree to share the house chores yes but we agreed to pick up after yourself and he still lives dishes in the sink leaves dirty pots and pans on the stove doesn't put away leftovers do you guys share the
bathroom yes and he leaves his dirty clothes or towels in the bathroom Toothpaste splatter in the sink or on the bathroom mirror all the time i guess you guys fight a lot right yes he doesn't respect my schedule i have an 8 am class every day but sometimes he comes home at 2 a.m banging the door or sets up the alarm at 7am but never gets up to turn it off i see what are his personalities he is needy he depends on me for a Social life and even all his emotional support if he doesn't
have other people he can count on or any other ways to help himself that can be exhausting and overwhelming for me you can set up some limits to when you talk to him and how long you will be around him trust me you feel so much better he is also an Attention seeker he will do anything for attention including talking about me behind my back sharing my personal information with others you should let him know his behavior is causing a rift hopefully he'll hear you out and reevaluate his actions i hope so roommates can be
lifelong friends but they can be a nightmare so what will you do when you go back to Your dorm people usually think moving rooms or changing roommates will be the magic solution to all their problems but learning how to deal with situations you have with your roommate can benefit you your entire life i think roommate problems are caused by miscommunications and the problem can be solved just by sitting down with a neutral friend and talking things out You are going to college next year remember don't let yourself be a bad roommate and notice bad signs
from your roomie soon should i share the dorm room with anyone or live alone it's nice to have someone who can wake you when you sleep through your alarm or bring you soup when you're sick they might introduce you to a different culture or new point of view i may have a roommate who likes to do The same things as i do but you may not have the privacy you're used to and may have to seek out places like the library to get it if your roommate's habits personality or schedule are very different from yours
it can be hard to adjust to living together that's true so what should i do to live harmoniously with my roommate communicating often and openly is essential for Any successful relationship make rules and respect them for example you guys agree that if one of them is trying to study the other won't blare music or will record tv shows to watch later what if we don't agree on something you'll both have to make some compromises if you behave politely to your roommate your roommate is likely to follow your lead Thanks for your advice and good luck
