- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 พ.ค. 2024
- In this English lesson I will help you learn some English words and phrases that you can use to describe tough times in life, and that you can use to encourage someone who is going through tough times.
Life can be rough. Things can happen that we aren't expecting that make us unsure about the future. In this English lesson I'll go over some things you'll need to know to understand someone who is talking about tough times and how to speak about tough times yourself.
I wish you and your loved ones all the best in this crazy time.
⌛ Remember: Always watch the video three times. Twice today with English subtitles on, and once tomorrow with the English subtitles off. This will reinforce the English you have learned!

Hi teacher Bob, Sean from Taiwan. The government just announced 23 new coronavirus cases yesterday, bringing the total number to 100 in Taiwan. Because the majority of 23 new cases are someone who traveled to another country and came back to Taiwan, the government is banning entry to all non-citizens. Due to the skyrocketed cases, people here went to groceries to buy water, tissue paper, rice, instant noodle...I got flu last week. The symptoms of flu are slight fever, sore throat, stuffy nose. I was afraid that I got the coronavirus or not. Hopefully, everything is going well right now after I've gone to the clinic three times this week. I'm glad to be a Taiwanese who has the perfect health insurance system. Take care~
Thanks so much teacher Bob.
Take care! Happy for you and your family healthy!!
Greetings from México Bob..!!!! God bless You

Thank you teacher. This is my second listening of the lesson.😊
I found it is best work to teach and study when on quarantine.

You are welcome! 🍪🚶🌞
Thanks Bob for your video in this really tough time. I live in the part of Italy most affected by coronavirus and I want to appeal to everyone to get out of this serious situation; stay at home, do not leave the house except for extreme necessity, for health reasons or go shopping for essential food for living or for work that you cannot do from home. It is the only way to fight the virus and above all out of respect for the enormous work of doctors, nurses and volunteers who are currently trying to save lives.
Greetings to all from Italy.
Thanks for giving us an update from Italy Mauro. It is good to hear from those who are a few days ahead of us in dealing with this. I hope you and your family are well during this time. 🍪🚶🌞

Hello Bob and everyone. I'm Dk from S.Korea. My country was in the worst situation couple of weeks ago. But We got through it. I hope & believe that all countries over the world get over this hard time. Take care of yourself. And Thank you Bob for your high quality free lessons. I really love it.
Here in Spain, we're like you staying at home. Taking advantage of this time to watch more English videos. Let me give you a lot of thanks for your interesting videos.
hi,Bob. i'M from Henan province,central China. Our situation is getting better and we can go out normally. I'm a college student. I also have online classes at home.
Hi Bob! Thanks God you and your family are health. My prayer is you keep safe and health. Here in Brazil, specifically in my state, Espírito Santo, we are home since last week. The school I teach, should only back to activities in April 3rd. God bless you!
I'm in downtown Madrid, and things aren't going pretty well here. We'll be practicing social distancing for at least 3 weeks because the number of cases skyrocketed. I'm a teacher too, so I'm currently teaching online as well. We just have to be patient and make the best of this problem.
Yep. We just need to do the right thing and make the best of it. I hope your online teaching is going well! It will be a bit of a rough start for us next week I think as many teachers will not be fully prepared for this style of teaching. 🍪🚶🌞
Thank you so much Bob!
In this tough times, we have to stay at home..So im requesting Mr. Bob to make more videos to enhance my English language../while we are out of work...we should take advantage of th e opportunity to learn more....Make use of our free time liike this...

Thank thank you!
Hi，Bob Good Morning.
Hello! 🍪🚶🌞
Thank you for your lesson! I will try to encourage people around me who have tough time
Hi, Mister over there, I'm from Seoul and practically speaking, there were several times in life where I was having tough times where things weren't going well, but at that time, I didn't know the value of the phrase "grin and bear it !" like you mentioned above in the day's video lesson, so I remember that I had failed to get things to work out properly and thus failed to be myself a little bit and also put some people around me or neighbors to trouble ....😔 ; if I had watched this video lesson and had realized the meaning of the phrase earlier, then I might have toughed it out a lot better .... So sometimes I am very afraid I wasn't do well or things weren't going well just because of my carelessness and of my not being able to follow the phrase very well. But, now it seems like Mr. Bob is telling us that though you're having a hard time doing your work or getting on with something, don't be disappointed too much and just try and "grin and bear it" so that you can find some good ways to be yourself and therefore to promise being happier to yourself ! 😊 😀 ☺ Thanks a heap for your good phrases and their meaningful meanings, and I'll keep that in my mind !😊 Take good care of yourself and I'll see you next time.
Hi from Barcelona, Catalonia, we are at home.
Woww! That’s exactly what we need, one step at a time . . . One day at a time.
Awesome, very useful lesson, thanks a lot Prof. Bob.
Long live Canada and Canadians!!
I'm glad you liked the lesson and I'm glad you liked the advice! One day at a time! That's the way forward! 🍪🚶🌞
sensible words as a good teacher !
Hi Bob, I'm from Mexico, here the life is too normal, just I hope this dosen't get out of control, on the ahead three weeks, we know our real situation.
Hi Bob, I'm from Mexico 🇲🇽 and the situation is getting worse every day we have almost 100 confirmed cases
One of my favorite videos. 👏👌
Thanks for your priceless effort on teaching. I am Geumjee. I live in South Korea. I have been curious what other parts of the world life are going on. I run a homeschool with 20 students. We are recommended to close school on 23rd Feb. Since then I stay home except essencial groceries. I go outside once a week for groceries with mask on. I am so scared. Your lesson helped me. The mayor in my province has been committed to keep citizens informed. They sent text messages on phone about who got confirmed virus and tracked the places where the infected person went. The last text message i got was last night 1130pm. They must be working around the clock. Once the names of store or places are open to town people, the places will be closed for 2 or 3 days for big store. People stop to go those places. This is our country's situation.
I really love you from the bottom of my heart
Thanks Abid. I appreciate the sentiment. 🍪🚶🌞
Assalam u aliakum everyone
Nice work
