Hey, good morning guys.
How you guys doing today?
Welcome to another live lesson.
I feel like it's been a while.
I took the week off last week.
But here I am.
We are back with the live lesson in these last two weeks.
I feel like there has been so much that has happened.
First off time has changed.
We are one hour back now just about a week ago.
We turned our clock back one hour.
So it is actually 3 p.m.
Here now in Los Angeles instead of 4 p.m.
So I'm still getting used to this new time.
But I think the biggest news that happened within the last
two weeks obviously is the presidential elections.
I'm sure you guys have been following it but president
elect.
I guess we should say Joe Biden is going to be the new
president of the United States and our vice president is
going to be Kamala Harris very exciting times here in the
United States.
It has been a pretty wild race to say the least but I guess
you know for me.
I don't want to talk too much about politics on the live
lesson, but I'll just say by saying that I'm very excited
to have a leader who believes in inclusion a leader who
believes in unity and a leader that believes in science,
especially in times of the coronavirus.
It's very good to know that we have somebody up there who
believes in all of that.
So I'm very excited for this new opportunity and I guess
the other thing that I'm very excited about is vice president
Kamala Harris.
She is the first women vice president and not only is she
the first women vice president.
She is also the first vice president who is of color the
first black women president.
She also has the Asian descent, right?
I think India is also part of her roots.
So she made history this year.
If you guys have not seen her speech yet, I recommend you
to check it out.
It's very inspiring.
She talked about how you know, she is the first women vice
president, but she will not be the last and hopefully she
will pave the way for more women women leaders out there
to follow her footsteps and do some big things because there
are a lot of powerful women out there that you know needs
to be leading and I am in full support of that.
So I just want to say big congratulations to both Joe Biden
and Kamala Harris and just a big moment.
I'm super excited about it.
Good morning everyone.
It feels like two weeks is a long time.
There have been a lot of things in the past two weeks.
One of them is that the time is back to 1 o'clock.
Actually, it's 3 o'clock in the evening.
Normally it's 4 o'clock, but since it's back to 1 o'clock,
it's 3 o'clock now and I'm adjusting the time.
More importantly, the big news is the presidential election.
There have been a lot of elections, but I think Joe Biden
and Kamala Harris will be the president and vice president this time.
Of course, President Trump has not conceded yet,
but it looks like that's how things are going to be.
Trump hasn't admitted defeat yet,
but I think Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
will be the president and vice president.
I don't want to talk too much about this,
but as long as the people who are at the top
include all kinds of people,
I think it's peaceful,
regardless of race, religion, skin color,
and science,
it's reassuring that there are leaders
who believe in science at the top.
There are still a lot of problems,
but I'm looking forward to it.
I don't know why I said that.
Anyway, today I want to talk about
different ways to say thank you.
There are so many different ways
to express your appreciation in English.
Today, I'm going to give you 6 different situations
and 12 different phrases you can use
to tell somebody how much you appreciate them.
Today, I'm going to show you
12 different ways to say thank you.
I'm sure you all know this,
but I'm going to show you

what do you say?
This is the first sentence.

Think about a situation like this.
Let's say you are learning English.
Of course, all of you guys are learning English.
You've been learning English.
You've been studying English for a long time.
But you feel like your English is not improving.
You feel like you are hitting a plateau.
You have stopped growing.
You're not sure if your English is good.
Maybe your teacher says,
June, your English is getting really good.
I can tell that you've been studying every day.
Your pronunciation is getting better.
You're using expressions that American people are using.
Your English is really improving.
You are worried about your English.
Your favorite teacher complimented you.
You are complimented.
That means a lot to me.
When you hear the word from the teacher,
when you hear the word from the teacher,
you are moved by it,
you say,
thank you for your encouragement.
that means a lot to me.
I appreciate it.
Alright?
Okay. Very good.
In this case,
if someone says something nice
or encouraging,
you make my day.
Or, that means a lot.
Alright.
Let's go to the next one, guys.
Number three.
When someone does you a favor.
Alright?
So, let's say, for example,
you have to go
to the airport.
But,
you are running late
and you do not have a car.
So, you call your friend
and you're like,
Hey, Andrew.
I need to get to the airport right now
and I need to be there
in 30 minutes.
I don't have a car.
Do you think you can take me
to the airport right now?
I'm sorry, man, but I just
really gotta go and I didn't know who else to call.
And Andrew says,
Alright, man. I'll come and pick you up
right now. Let's go.
And he comes, picks you up,
and takes you to the airport.
In that case,
Thank you for taking me
to the airport, Andrew.
I owe you one.
You can use it like that.
For example, in 30 minutes,
you have to go to the airport.
You have to go to the airport.
In 30 minutes,
you might be late.
You don't have a car.
You don't have a car,
but you have to go to the airport right now.
In that case, you call your friend
and you're like,
Hey, Andrew.
I need to get to the airport right now
and I need to be there
in 30 minutes.
In that case,
Thank you for taking me
to the airport.
I owe you one.
You can say,
I owe $10 to Mike.
I owe you $20.
You can say,
I owe you $20.
I owe you one.
You can say,

went to Los Angeles.
He went to Los Angeles.
He came back and he says,

This gift is for you.
And maybe you were not
expecting a gift.
And you say,
