  • I'm not going to say that, Kevin.
  • Then name me one thing that you and I have.
  • One thing that you and I have that is special, that is just you and me.
  • Not all of us.
  • Not me and Randall.
  • Not me and Kate.
  • Kevin, can you stop?
  • I'm flustered, and it's not kind of you what you're doing.
  • Well, just admit that you love Randall more.
  • We can stop pretending to be this perfect little family.
  • No, he was just easier.
  • He was easier, and he didn't recoil when I touched him, and he wasn't some sullen teenager who was angry at me for no reason, so that he didn't abandon me and move away after his father died.
  • And you know what the outcome will be.
  • Hey,
  • So you're learning a ton of new vocabulary in today's lesson, right?
  • Well, a lot of learners, just like you, have told me that they get really frustrated when they get into a conversation, and those words that they know are in their head don't actually come out in that moment.
  • Has this ever happened to you?
  • Well, through learning several different languages myself, a technique that I have found really helps so that this does not happen is by using the new words that I learn as soon as possible after learning them.
  • But you might be thinking now that you don't have anyone to speak with.
  • Well, this is exactly why we created the RealLife app, which is the only place where anytime, anywhere, you can simply press a button and instantly be connected to another person in the world for a fun,
  • Dynamic conversation completely in English.
  • And guess what?
  • It's absolutely free.
  • So download it now in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store so that you can make some new English-speaking friends from different parts of the world today.
  • The word refreshing refers to an activity that renews and reinvigorates your mind and body.
  • It is also an activity that differs from someone's usual routine or habits.
  • Check out this example.
  • You said something on the phone about there being a study that I could use as a home office.
  • I'm planning on seeing patients here so I can spend more time with the family.
  • How refreshing.
  • A forum is a platform for people to share their ideas, express their opinions, and give their thoughts on a variety of topics without feeling judged but are encouraged to have healthy, respectful debates.
  • For example, the forum provided a safe space for individuals to discuss mental health and offer support to one another.
  • Because this is where you do that kind of stuff.
  • Because this is where you do that kind of stuff.
  • To
  • Just tell everyone the truth, which is that you love Randall the most.
  • He's your favorite, right?
  • That's not true, Kevin.
  • It's not true?
  • That's absolutely ridiculous.
  • When something is ridiculous, it doesn't make sense or seems completely exaggerated or foolish.
  • For example, it's ridiculous to wear a winter coat in the middle of summer.
  • Kevin, can you stop?
  • I'm flustered and it's not kind of you.
  • When you are flustered, you're experiencing feelings of confusion, disarray, and agitation.
  • It is usually brought on by a sudden, unexpected event and will cause a loss of composure.
  • Just admit that you love Randall more.
  • We can stop pretending to be this perfect little family.
  • No, he was just easier.
  • When someone is pretending, it means they are acting in a way that is not real or sincere.
  • When children are pretending, they're usually using their imagination and are acting as a character, like their favorite superhero, sports person, or Disney character.
  • For example, she was pretending to be a doctor and examining your toys.
  • When adults are pretending, it is usually done in a way to not hurt someone else's feelings, but more often than not, to fool somebody else into thinking that you really are the person you present yourself to be.
  • For example, he's pretending to be happy, but I can tell he's really sad.
  • So you talked to your dad, huh?
  • Yeah, he's gonna keep cheating on my mom like she wanted.
  • My mom's gonna keep pretending she doesn't know, even though she does.
  • He was easier and he didn't recoil when I touched him.
  • To recoil is to suddenly move backwards or away from someone or something when they are trying to touch you.
  • It is a reaction to something you find unpleasant or threatening.
  • But he wasn't some sullen teenager who was angry at me for no reason and he didn't.
  • The word sullen is used to describe someone whose mood or behavior can be described as unhappy, bad-tempered, and not willing to talk.
  • But do you want to know what you are to me in this house?
  • You're boring.
  • You're sullen.
  • You're vacant.
  • You show me no love.
  • I don't want to meet my father over the phone.
  • What am I gonna say?
  • Like, hi, I'm Phoebe, the daughter you abandoned.
  • Oh, by the way, I broke your dog.
  • Okay, guys.
  • No, you know what?
  • I just, I'm...
  • I want to know your thoughts on this, Randall.
  • Why do you think your daughter was hiding in my car?
  • Why do you think your daughter was hiding in my car?
  • Have you ever thought about that?
  • What about it?
  • She was avoiding the Randall Show.
  • No, no, welcome to the Randall Show, ladies and gentlemen.
  • Adopted by white people, two dads.
  • Does it get any more interesting than that?
  • Well, not for Randall.
  • So, you move your dying father into your home without thinking about what your wife or what your kids think of that.
  • And then you bring some strange girl into the house after he dies, right?
  • And the only person sitting there that no one's paying attention to is your daughter, Tess.
  • You know what?
  • I'm done, man.
  • No, Randall, Randall, Randall.
  • And cue Randall out the door.
  • Cue mom chasing her favorite son.
  • This is such a predictable movie.
  • Which of these means the opposite of predictable?
  • Dispredictable.
  • Unpredictable.
  • Inpredictable.
  • You are so predictable.
  • You raise your voice to her one more time.
  • All your children you love equally, right?
  • That's what you keep saying.
  • Yes, I do love all my children the same.
  • Wouldn't it feel refreshing, though, just to right here in this forum, because this is where you do that kind of stuff, to just tell everyone the truth, which is that you love Randall the most.
  • He's your favorite, right?
  • Oh, that's not true, Kevin.
  • It's not true?
  • That's absolutely ridiculous.
  • It's ridiculous?
  • I'm not going to say that, Kevin.
  • Name me one thing that you and I have.
  • One thing that you and I have that is special that is just you and me.
  • Not all of us.
  • Not me and Randall.
  • Not me and Kate.
  • Kevin, can you stop?
  • I'm flustered, and it's not kind of you what you're doing.
  • Well, just admit that you love Randall more.
  • We can stop pretending to be this perfect little family.
  • No, he was just easier!
  • He was easier, and he didn't recoil when I touched him, and he wasn't some sullen teenager who was angry at me for no reason, and he didn't...
  • Which of these emotions is connected with being sullen?
  • Unhappiness.
  • Happiness.
  • Stress.
  • ...and move away after his father died.
  • Oh, yeah.
  • Great job making it all the way through today's lesson.
  • Now, if you are a big fan of This Is Us, or you just really dug today's lesson, then next you should totally check out this lesson.
  • Let's look at a clip now.
  • Okay, Mom.
  • What have you got for us?
  • Hey, guys.
  • It's me, your dad.
  • Holy crap.
  • It's 1993, and you're all in your rooms here at the cabin trying to figure out just what you're going to put inside the capsule.
  • Anyhow...
