A few of you have asked for me to do more videos.

Some of you would like it if I did one video every day, and that would be a lot of work

and I thought to myself, you know what, here's a little surprise, I already have another

Youtube channel where I do one video a day.

Let's have a look at one of those clips and let's learn a few phrases that we use

in English to talk about work, because having another channel and doing a video every day

So when you live on a farm you have to work your butt off.

This is a slang saying that means to work really, really hard, and you'll want to be

careful when you use it because the word "butt" refers to, you know the part of your body

at the top of your legs and below your back and if you work really, really hard you are

If you work on a farm, if you live on a farm you tend to work your butt off because a lot

of the work that we do is difficult work.

It's work that you have to do with your hands.

There isn't always machines to do the work that we do on the farm.

In the next couple of days we'll be doing a lot of hay on the farm and we'll be working

So, there was one clip from my other channel.

I do these videos every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

I don't do them on the weekends because I like to have a bit of a break, but I try

to do one every day and I've done one every day since December of 2018.

So there's quite a few of them for you to watch.

So when you burn the candle at both ends it means you're working really, really hard and

I've been burning the candle at both ends lately so I'm pretty tired and this is the

But I had a day full of all kinds of different jobs and I worked really hard, and I worked

It's a tall wax thing with a wick in the middle and you light the top and it has a small flame.

But if you lay a candle sideways you can light both ends and the candle is twice as bright,

People are the same if you burn the candle at both ends at your job you're probably going

to get tired a lot more quickly and you're probably going to eventually burn out a little

So, burning the candle at both ends means to work really, really hard.

So the cool thing about these videos is that they are one minute long, they are really

easy to watch each day, and if you scroll down in the description, not just on my other

channel, but in this video as well you will see a complete transcript.

So you can read along, you can read along to the one minute video as you are watching

So it's been a bit of a long day and I'm kind of running on empty.

When you're running on empty it means that you're still doing stuff and you're still

working but you don't have a lot of energy to do it.

The phrase comes from when a vehicle is running on empty.

That would mean that a vehicle like this van behind me has very little gas in it and so

we would say that the vehicle is running on empty.

I almost forgot to make a video but I'm still plugging away.

I'm still working away getting things done even though I'm running on empty just a little

I hope that you guys aren't running on empty when it comes to learning English.

I hope you have lots of energy to study every day.

So, because these videos are on a different channel, by the way, there's a link in the

description if you wanna go to that channel, you will need to subscribe over there as well.

So you'll need to follow the link in the description and you'll need to click the

red subscribe button on my other channel as well - if you're interested in learning

So in English when we say "get a move on" it means get it done faster or hurry up.

Today in my classroom I was teaching and there was only 10 minutes left in class, and my

students weren't done their work so I said to them, "You guys better get a move on, because

When I came outside today to shoot this video I noticed that it is going to start raining

soon, so I thought, "I better get a move on and get this video done quickly before it

So when we say, "get a move on", it means exactly the same thing as "hurry up".

Some of you maybe aren't learning English very quickly and maybe you need to get a move

on and learn a little more English every day so that you are fluent in no time!

So one of the cool things about having the transcript in the description is you can copy

and paste the transcript into Google translate and you can read it in your own language.

Remember it's only a one minute video so it's not a lot of work.

Then you can watch the video in English and you'll have a better sense of what's going

Copy and paste it into Google translate if you need to, then watch the one minute clip

This phrase is for some of you younger people out there.

In English when we say, "pull an all nighter", it means that you stay up all night to get

This phrase is usually used by students, university students and college students.

Sometimes when you have a paper or an essay or a test the next day, sometimes you will

pull an all nighter, which means that you will stay up either studying or working on

When I was a student in university I would often, when I had a paper due, I would pull

So it means that I would literally stay up all night.

I would drink lots of coffee so that I would have lots of caffeine in me so that when I

pulled an all nighter I was able to stay awake the whole time.

So again, I feel like I'm talking about my other channel a lot, but if you're interested
