hot place it's it was a very helpful and easy dialogue to learn sure Lisa for example Mary asks John if the scarf was suitable or not for Lisa then they decided the scarf was not suitable for Lisa because she lives in a hot place that's right Eric and then then they decided to buy a book because Lisa likes reading and a book was a very suitable gift for her I like reading books as well so in my opinion it's a very suitable gift for her okay well this is the end of our podcast we hope

to be peaceful what does it mean Eric to be peaceful means to be calm and quiet without any problems or VI vience for example if you live in a peaceful country it means that there is no War or conflict in your country or if you have a peaceful mind it means that you are not worried or stressed about anything that's a good explanation Eric can you give us an example of dialogue with this word sure Lisa here it [Music] is hi John how was your vacation it was amazing Mary I went to a small island
in the Pacific Ocean it was so peaceful there the people were friendly the weather was nice and the scenery was beautiful I felt so relaxed and happy wow that sounds wonderful I wish I could go there too you should try it someday you deserve a peaceful break from your busy life thank you John you're very kind maybe I will go there someday I like how John used the word peaceful to describe the island it makes me want to go there too me too Lisa it sounds like a perfect place to relax and enjoy nature yes
it does let's move on to the second word to admit to admit means to say that something is true or that you did something bad for example if you admit that you broke a vase it means that you say sorry and tell the truth and also admitting something doesn't always have to be serious sometimes you can admit that you love watching cartoons even if you're an adult it's being honest about how you feel or what you think I'm looking forward to our example dialogue sure Lisa here is an example of dialogue between two friends Anna
and Ben they are talking about a test that they took at school listen carefully and try to understand how they use the word to [Music] admit hi hi Ben how did you do on the test not very well Anna I failed oh no what happened well I have to admit I didn't study enough I was too busy playing video games and watching TV it was my fault well at least you admit your mistake Ben that's a good start but you have to do better next time yes I will Anna Ben used the word to admit
to saying that he failed the test because he didn't study enough and Ben Was Not Afraid or ashamed to admit his mistake yes Lisa this shows his [Music] honesty let's move on to the third word evidence evidence evidence evidence means something that shows or proves that something else is true or exists for example if you see a footprint in the snow it is evidence that someone walked there or if you have a receipt from a store it is evidence that you bought something there that's a good explanation Lisa thank you let me ask you a
question Eric what is it Lisa do you believe in aliens aliens you mean like creatures from outer space yes exactly well I don't know Lisa I've never seen one have you no I haven't but I've read some stories and watched some videos that say that aliens are real and they have some evidence yeah I know do you believe those stories and videos well some of them seem very realistic they have evidence to support their opinion what kind of evidence well for example some people say that they have seen UFOs which are unidentified flying objects they
have photos and videos as evidence H I see but how do you know that those photos and videos are not fake or edited maybe they are just tricks or jokes well I don't know for sure but some of the evidence look very real and clear there is more some people say that aliens have spoken to them or sent them messages hm I see maybe they are just coincidences or they have different explanations well I don't know maybe but as I said they are strong evidence in my opinion well I think I need more direct evidence
like seeing an alien myself or touching an alien spacecraft until then I will remain skeptical and open-minded I understand Eric and I respect your opinion but I believe we will see more Evite this is a nice saying okay let's move on to the last word to be used to something to be used to something to be used to something what does it mean Lisa to be used to something means to be familiar or comfortable with something especially after doing it many times for example if you live in a cold country you are used to the
cold weather or if you do exercise every day you are used to doing exercise it sounds like to be used to something is a phrase that shows habit absolutely or you don't mind or complain about something that you always do but it can also be a bad thing as well because you can be used to something bad as well thank you for explaining that can you give us an example dialogue that uses the phrase to be used to something sure Eric here is an example of dialogue between two Travelers Sam and Sarah they are in
a new country and they are trying to get used to the local culture listen carefully and try to understand how they use the phrase to be used to [Music] something wow this place is amazing look at all the colors the people and the food I love it here me too Sarah but I have to admit some things are very different from what we are used to don't you think yes Sam I I agree some things are very different and are very hard to get used to like the traffic and the noise yeah I know what
you mean Sarah the traffic is crazy here I'm not used to traffic here it makes me nervous me too Sam and the noise is so loud here I'm not used to sleeping with so much noise it makes me tired but you know what Sarah even though some things are hard to get used to I think we can learn to enjoy them that's true Sam after a while we will get used to them and maybe after a while we will miss them when we go back home maybe Sarah [Music] maybe how did Sam and Sarah use
the phrase to be used to Something in the dialogue Eric well Sam said that some things were very different from what they were used to he said that he was not one used to traffic and sleeping and Sarah said that some things were very hard to get used to and they both said that they could learn to enjoy them I hope our viewers are used to watching our Channel watching our channel will be their habit I hope so [Music] Lisa I'm Lisa and I'm here with my friend Eric we hope you enjoyed our podcast and
