  • In this English lesson,

  • I wanted to help you learn the English term, the big screen.

  • The big screen is simply another way of saying the movies.

  • There might be an actor that you know really well

  • and you see him quite often on the big screen.

  • This would mean that that actor often plays roles in movies.

  • So sometimes when you read a book,

  • it might be adapted for the big screen.

  • They might take that book and then make a script out of it

  • and then make it into a movie

  • and then you can go and see the same story

  • that you read in the book,

  • you can go see it on the big screen.

  • The other term I wanted to teach you today is, of course,

  • the small screen.

  • The small screen is simply another way

  • of saying the television.

  • Now I'm not 100% sure if this also means Netflix

  • or your phone,

  • but definitely in the past, and even still a little bit now,

  • we would say the small screen,

  • and we would be talking about the television.

  • You might have a favorite actor who used to be in movies,

  • but lately, that actor has started to do more,

  • to play more roles on the small screen.

  • That would mean instead of being in movies,

  • that actor is now normally seen on television.

  • So to review.

  • The big screen simply means the movies

  • and the small screen simply means the television.

  • I think you can understand

  • where these terms come from, right?

  • The movie theater has a very, very big screen,

  • and your television, I guess is somewhat big,

  • but not nearly as big as the movie theater,

  • but, hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video.

  • This comment is from Lolly Lolly, I think.

  • By the way, Oscar's just kind, gent--

  • Nicely sleeping there.

  • Oh, now he just kind of looked at me.

  • I think he knows he's on camera.

  • Shh, don't say anything.

  • The comment from Lolly Lolly is this.

  • Hello from France.

  • Do you think that some of your children

  • will follow in your footsteps on the farm?

  • Thanks, Bob.

  • My reply is I'm really not sure.

  • We're taking a wait and see approach.

  • We're not pressuring any of them.

  • Right now, it seems like they have a lot of other interests.

  • So that's a great question, Lolly Lolly.

  • Often, it's hard to know as a farm dad and farm mum,

  • it's hard to know if any of the kids

  • are interested in working on the farm.

  • Should we pet Oscar for a sec?

  • Hi, puppy.

  • And we don't want to pressure them.

  • We don't want to try.

  • We don't want them to think that they have to do it.

  • We know they have lots of other interests.

  • They like computers.

  • They like music.

  • They like sports.

  • There's all kinds of things that children

  • are naturally interested in

  • and we don't want to force them.

  • We don't want to say you have to take over the farm,

  • so we're taking a wait and see approach.

  • A wait and see approach is exactly what it sounds like.

  • You wait and you see what happens.

  • So they're still quite young.

  • We'll see what happens in a few years.

  • What often happens with kids who grow up on farms is,

  • later in life, when they're in their 20s or 30s,

  • they start to have fond memories

  • of what it was like to be on the farm.

  • Anyways, I wanted to come out this way

  • to show you that this tractor is totally fixed.

  • There is now a brand new tire right there.

  • I am very, very happy.

  • And my big tractor is also fixed.

  • Now I say it's fixed, but really,

  • it just started working again.

  • There was a repair person who was going to come,

  • but when I went down to get my tractor,

  • I was gonna pull this tractor up the hill

  • with my other tractor.

  • This one started fine and seems to be working.

  • So what I'm going to do is I'm going to take

  • a wait and see approach before I get someone here to fix it.

  • I'm just going to use it for the next few days.

  • I used it yesterday and everything seemed to be fine.

  • So I'm gonna take a wait and see approach.

  • I'm just gonna keep using it.

  • I've checked all the fluids.

  • I've checked all the levels.

  • I think it's okay

  • and we'll just see if it stops working again.

  • Anyways, I'll see you in a couple of days

  • with another short English lesson, bye.
