Batman movie so depending on when you ... 00:10
see this you might recognize this voice ... 00:12
or think I've gone crazy what I haven't ... 00:14
and today what I'd like us to work on ... 00:16
because I want you know see you and I ... 00:19
we're always together right so you and I ... 00:21
want us to work on something about ... 00:23
playing right now you might hear a ... 00:24
little bit of music because in Toronto ... 00:26
we have a festival is called Caribana or ... 00:28
if I recall rightly now is the Toronto ... 00:30
Dominion Caribbean festival but what the ... 00:33
most important thing you have to ... 00:37
remember is they play music often ... 00:38
students well you know often we make ... 00:41
mistakes right when we speak and we're ... 00:44
learning English we use some things ... 00:45
incorrectly so today I want to talk ... 00:48
about what do you like to do and what I ... 00:51
mean by that is playing often when we do ... 00:60
things we we play sports and whatnot ... 01:03
whatnot in English just means whatever ... 01:06
okay but a lot of students make a ... 01:09
mistake because they think play in ... 01:11
English is the same as their in their ... 01:13
language or you might think play is the ... 01:15
same in your language but in English we ... 01:17
have several different words for kind of ... 01:19
playing okay so I want to go over that ... 01:21
today and I hope you'll be you know ... 01:23
you'll learn a lot you'll be very clear ... 01:25
when you're done so let's go to the ... 01:27
board so what do you like to play I ... 01:28
erased it but play is here because play ... 01:31
in English means play games or sports ... 01:34
these are usually fun activities I'm ... 01:37
having fun it's not serious okay so when ... 01:39
I play I play sports some of you play ... 01:43
soccer sorry ... 01:46
soccer in North American is what you ... 01:48
would call football footie ball with the ... 01:51
leg right kick ... 01:55
alright so soccer or baseball especially ... 01:56
if you're Japanese and I think in the ... 01:59
Mexico you play baseball but we play ... 02:02
baseball in these to have fun in the ... 02:05
activity not be serious we also play ... 02:07
other games so sports I play sports I ... 02:10
play games ... 02:12
these games are things like ... 02:13
right or some people play cards ... 02:15
solitaire so you play a game for fun ... 02:18
okay ... 02:20
now it's the 21st century many of you ... 02:21
play video games ohms ohms right Call of ... 02:26
Duty where you get to pretend to be a ... 02:30
soldier you're playing yes so I've got ... 02:32
Starcraft call of duty portal some of ... 02:35
you might be DDR qing chun qiu chuji ... 02:38
yeah if you're from those country you'll ... 02:41
go oh yes DDR fun it's a game something ... 02:43
you play to have fun okay so that's why ... 02:46
we say play now the opposite of play is ... 02:49
to actually compete compete comes is a ... 02:52
verb to mean to do to find a winner it's ... 02:55
not for it is and can be fun but what we ... 02:59
do is it's serious okay it's much more ... 03:04
serious it's not just you and a friend ... 03:06
going outside and kicking a ball and ... 03:09
running and laughing you're serious ... 03:11
because you train now we have words up ... 03:14
here and I'll explain train in a second ... 03:16
but opposite of playing is competing ... 03:18
that is when one or more people are ... 03:21
working hard to see who is the best ... 03:23
person now in this case we have two ... 03:26
things when we compete we either have ... 03:29
amateur or professional and amatuer is ... 03:31
someone who does the sports like the ... 03:35
Olympics right now is 2012 but we have ... 03:37
an Olympics there are many people across ... 03:40
the world competing to see which country ... 03:42
has the best athletes and an athlete is ... 03:45
a person who practices sports so they're ... 03:48
physically body is strong okay now those ... 03:50
are amateur they don't get any money no ... 03:54
money so amateur can mean you are a high ... 03:57
high level in sport but you do not get ... 03:59
money sometimes you pay to play so you ... 04:02
pay to play professional sports are ... 04:05
different maybe you've heard of Michael ... 04:07
Jordan maybe okay or you've heard of ... 04:09
David Beckham yes or Mike Tyson that's ... 04:13
really old okay but if you've heard of ... 04:17
those they're professional they get ... 04:19
money so when people aren't playing if ... 04:21
they are high level we call them amateur ... 04:23
athletes or we say professional we ... 04:25
money is in now how do you get to go ... 04:28
from playing to competing ... 04:31
well you have to train train yeah a lot ... 04:33
of students go I play I know I I ... 04:37
practice soccer and we like what does ... 04:41
that mean it means nothing to us because ... 04:43
for us you're either playing or ... 04:46
competing and the difference between the ... 04:48
two is training what do I mean by ... 04:50
training well training you need to get ... 04:52
to go from playing to compete you need ... 04:55
to be stronger strong okay because train ... 04:57
means work hard I train I work hard and ... 04:60
one way to train is to run right you run ... 05:03
