  Speaker 1: addicted to this kind of false version of my life
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: that it was just taking over. I would be on
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: set working, I'd come and sit in my chair and
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: just scroll scroll, scrolls, crow, scroll, and it.

  Speaker 1: I was just obsessed with it, and I was obsessed
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: to find out what people were saying and how people
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: what they thought about me. So I decided to make
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: an announcement and say that I'm taking a break from
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: social media, and the thing that really upset me is.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: The press ran with that, and they tried to make
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: out that I was having this mental breakdown. And what
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: upset me was if I was having a mental breakdown,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: that's not for you to report on.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: All right, now, let's break down the clip and learn
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: all the devas vocabulary in pronisation with Tom hulland.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: I was in New York. I was shooting the Crown
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: crowded room.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: In this context, shooting means filming the crowded room. We
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: should mention here is a psychological thriller TV series where
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Tom is a protagonist. So he says he was having
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: a hard time filming it, meaning he was struggling. It
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: was a difficult moment for him. That's a nice casual
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: location you can use too, They said it all the time.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Check this out. Our family doesn't run from things.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Miles.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know. It's a hard time.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: And I was having a really hard time with the
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: job just because of how taxing it was.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: The emotional That's also what he meant by saying he
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: was taxing. It was difficult, exhausting and drained his energy.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: In Tom's case, playing this intense role in this series
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: was emotionally taxing.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I decided to delete my Instagram because I just felt
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: like I was so addicted to this kind of false
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: version of my life that it was just taking over.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: And something takes over, it takes control. Tom means Instagram
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: was taking control of his life, of his thoughts and actions,
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: and it was hard to focus on his job. See
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: how he describes what he would do.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I would be on set working, I'd come and sit
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: in my chair and just scroll, scroll, scrolls, crow, scroll,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: and it.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Was This action is called scrolling. It's a common expression nowadays,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: but you should know this particular use of the verb
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: to scroll already existed before his mirdphones, since we also
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: scroll on a computer using a mouse. Another expression that
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: people use these days to refer to this specific negative
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: experience of scroll scroll, scroll when using Instagram or TikTok
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: is doom scrolling.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: I was just obsessed with it, and I was obsessed
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: to find out what people were saying and how people
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: what they thought about me.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Did you notice how Tom pronounces the words that end
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: with a tea sound. Let's give a listen to this
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: part again, but more slowly.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I was obsessed to find out what he was saying.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: All these words were pronounced with a stop T out
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: what thought about? Natives often do this now to do
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: stop T sound, It was simply prepared to make a
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: T sound, But then you stop the flow of air
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: and make a short pause. Now, try to repeat after
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: me out why about? Now? What else can we find
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: here that's more advanced pronunciation? Well, these phrases have some
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: nected speech in them. That's when Natives cut link and
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: morephords together when they speak. The word obsessed ends with
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: a T sound obsessed, And because the next word starts
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: with a T, they morph obsessed tough, not obsessed too,
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: but obsessed tough, and a D from find gets linked
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: to the vowel sound from the next word find out. Now,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: let's try to repeat after a time.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: And I was obsessed to find out what people were saying.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: And I was obsessed to find out what people was
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: saying and say like, I'm taking a break from social
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: media because I feel like my mental health will benefit
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: from it. And the thing that really upset me is
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the press ran with that, and they tried to make
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: out that I was having this mental breakdown.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: To run with something is a collocation that means to
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: take an idea and develop it further without hesitation. It
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: can be used in both negative and positive context. For example,
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: a more positive situation could be she had a great
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: idea for the project and the team ran with it,
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: meaning they developed and expanded on the idea. In this case,
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Tom is saying that the press, that is magazines, newspapers,
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: TV news, etc. They took this story, which was pretty straightforward,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: and they changed the narrative and that's what he means
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: by this.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Line, and they tried to make out that I was
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: having this mental breakdown.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: In this context, to make out refers to creating a
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: certain impression or to pretend, for example, she's trying to
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: make out that she's rich. So instead of focusing on
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: the positive reason behind his decision, the press made it
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: sound like he was having a mental breakdown, a point
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: where a person gets so stressed because of their thoughts
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: and emotions that they collapse. They stop functioning properly, like
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: when a machine breaks down. And Tom was upset with
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: the news because he was actually taking steps to avoid
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: reaching that point of breakdown. And by the way, remember
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: it that you can practice all this vocabulary that you've
• 7:04

• 7:25
  Speaker 3: search for real life English on Google Play. Hardy app
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: story and I hope to see you there.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: They took the story in the wrong direction, and they
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: try they painted again this negative light on mental health.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Rather than saying, oh, he's doing it, it's okay that
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: he's doing it, so we should all feel okay to
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: do it too, they were saying, oh.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Look, he's not the perfect, happy, go lucky kid you
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: think he is.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: He's having a nervous breakdown in New York. And I
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: think that that was a really unfair line of journalism.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: Let's say, yeah, yeah, absolutely, absolutely.
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: It almost sounds like you were actually preemptively going, I'm
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: doing this so that I don't right go in that direction.
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: At least, I'm not trying to put words in your mouth.
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: But absolutely, it's almost like I'm proactively seeing that I
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: could end up in a position where sure I might
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: have a breakdown. I don't want to be in that position,
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: and so I'm responsibly saying, guys, I'm taking a break
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: right in order to protect myself.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: One hundred percent.
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, which makes a lot of sense and actually is
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: quite admirable.

• 8:47
  Speaker 3: bell down below and if you don't want to miss
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: any of our new lessons.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: They took the story in the wrong direction, and they
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: try they painted again this negative light on mental health.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: To paint something negatively means to describe or show something
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: in a bad way. It's very similar to try to
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: make out something about a situation, to paint it a
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: certain way. And he goes on to use yet another
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: similar phrase. Check it out.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: They took the story in the wrong direction, and they
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: try they painted again this negative light on mental health.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: To show someone any bad light or negative light, as
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: he says, is exactly what he's talking about. And by
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: the way, you may also hear the opposite phrase in
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: a good light.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: They were saying, Oh, look, he's not the perfect, happy
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: go lucky kid you.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Think he is. He's having a nervous breakdown in New York.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: And I think that that was a really unfair line
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: of journalism.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: If you call someone happy go lucky, you mean they
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: are not concerned about the future and just enjoy life
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: without planning. Tom felt this way or method of doing journalism,
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: or as he says, this line of journalism was unfair.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, absolutely absolutely.
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: It almost sounds like you were actually pre emptively going
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: I'm doing this so that I don't go in that direction.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: If you act prehemptively in a situation, you're thinking ahead
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: and doing something in advance to avoid problems. For example,
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: packing the night before a trip helps you avoid rushing
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: things in the morning. You're acting preemptively in case something
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: expected happens, you have time to deal with it. In
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: a strategic context, like in the military, a preemptive strike
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: is an attack launched to prevent an expected attack from
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: the enemy.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: How old are you Danty too?
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: You're having some kind of preemptive midlife crisis moment a motorbike.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: I'll take you for a riding it sometimes, you know.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, absolutely absolutely.
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: It almost sounds like you were actually preemptively going, I'm
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: doing this so that I don't go in that direction.
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: At least, I'm not trying to put words in your mouth.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: But absolutely, putting words in one's mouth refers to saying
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: as one means one thing when a person really meant
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: something else. Imagine two people having an argument. You could
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: hear something like I didn't say this, don't try to
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: put words in my mouth. In this case, Jay Shatty
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: is just being respectful, saying he knows Tom didn't say
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: those words exactly, but that that's what he understands from
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Tom's story.
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: It's almost like I'm proactively seeing that I could end
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: up in a position where sure I might have a breakdown.
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: I don't want to be in that position, and so
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: I'm responsibly saying, guys, I'm taking a break right in
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: order to protect myself.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: Another word we use to talk about taking action early
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: is proactively, like exercising regularly is a proactive way to
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: maintain good health. Instead of just waiting until it gets
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: sick to go to the doctor.
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: It's almost like I'm proactively seeing that I could end
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: up in a position where sure I might have a breakdown.
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: I don't want to be in that position, and so
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: I'm responsibly saying, guys, I'm taking a break right in
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: order to protect myself.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: To end up means to eventually find yourself in a
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: certain situation, and often without planning it. For example, the
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: movie we wanted to see was sold out. There were
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: no tickets available, so we ended up seeing a different one.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: All right, I know you've been waiting for this part.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Now we're going to test your comprehension by watching the
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: entire clip in final time without subtitles, and I'm going
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: to ask you some quiz questions. Let's do this.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: I was in New York.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: I was shooting the Crowning Crowded Room, and I was
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: having a really hard time with the job just because
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: of how taxing it was.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: Which word describes something that is physically or mentally difficult
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: and exhausting, shooting tasking taxing.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: I decided to delete my Instagram because I just felt
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: like I was so addicted to this kind of false
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: version of my life that it was just taking over.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Would be on set working, I'd come and sit in
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: my chair and just scroll, scroll, scrolls, coros scroll, and
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: it was becoming a problem. I was just obsessed with it,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: and I was obsessed to find out what people were
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: saying and how people what they thought about me. So
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: I decided to make an announcement and say that I'm
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: taking a break from social media.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: And the thing that really upset.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Me is the press ran with that and they tried
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: to make out that I was having this mental breakdown,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: and what upset me was if I was having a
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: mental breakdown, that's not for you to report on.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: What does the phrase run with it mean? To run
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: as fast as possible, to accept an idea and develop
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: it further, to ignore instructions and do your own thing.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: And they tried to make out that I was having
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: this mental breakdown, and what upset me was if I
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: was having a mental breakdown, it's not for you to
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: report on. They took the story in the wrong direction,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: and they try they painted again this negative light on
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: mental health, rather than saying, oh, he's doing it, it's
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: okay that he's doing it, so we should all feel
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: okay to do it too.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: They were saying, Oh, look.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: Do you remember to phrase Tom used here meaning to
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: make someone look bad, to paint any bad light.
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, absolutely, it almost sounds like you were
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: actually preemptively going, I'm doing this so that I don't
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: go in that direction. At least I'm not trying to
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: put words in your mouth. But absolutely, it's almost like
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: I'm proactively seeing that I could end up in a
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: position where sure I might have a breakdown. I don't
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: want to be in that position, and so I'm responsibly saying, guys,
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: I'm taking a break right in order to protect myself.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: One hundred percent.
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, which makes a lot of sense, and it actually
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: is quite admirable.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: Again, which of these actions is an example of a
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: preemptive one? Putting on sunscreen when at the beach, fixing
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: a leak in your house, apologizing after hurting someone's feelings.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: All right, guys, great job. Now remember to go and
