Hello and welcome to this week's Gold
Membership discussion and description.
As you saw from the video
above. The Youtube video, this video is a McDonald's
commercial. It's advertising McDonald's, and in English, we
say McDonald's, in some countries, I know you say McDonald. So
there's a change there. McDonald's commercial.
Ah, the video commercial
begins by showing you a beautiful scenery, a lake with some nature,
grass, trees... you know a nice beautiful setting.
And then a red car comes
and stops. It pulls up, or it stops. You can say "pulls
up", the car pulls up, which means stops. And there's an
elderly couple, probably in their 60's. A man and a lady.
The man comes out with all his fishing gear, or fishing materials.
Fishing gear I would say. His fishing rod and basket, and the
wife doesn't look very happy. She just looks at him... Yeah,
go fishing. So she's not very happy.
And then she start driving
off, she takes off quite quickly and then she stops and has his hat.
It's not a cap, it's a hat. A cap is the one that only has the
visor at the front. This one has a hat and has a rim or a
thing all the way around to give some shade and protection. So
with the hat on the top and with the, sort of like a ledge, a little
flap area, all the way around, that's just a hat. If it's only
at the front, a big peak at the front, that would be a cap, C-A-P.
So it's just a hat, she
takes it. She holds it out of the car window and just drops it.
She doesn't throw it. If it's throw, it would go further away from
her. So she just sticks her hand out of the window and just drops
the hat and it just falls to the ground. She doesn't place it
on the ground, because that means, if this is the ground, she puts
it or places it but her hand is in the air and she just lets go and
it just drops down. So she drops the hat to the ground.
He picks it up, bit dusty
and then he walks to the pier or the the wooden planks. Sort
of like a mini pier. He gets his fold up chair and he sits
down, he takes his fishing basket, he opens it up, gets the
McDonald's, his very happy. Places it or puts it beside to
him.
I think he, I'm not
watching the video right now so, I think he threw the fishing line
out. And then the next thing, he sees something come up, and
you see a big shadow cover him, a shadow covers him, and he looks
very scared, very tense, very nervous, and he closes his eyes,
expecting something to hit him or bit him, so he just sits there
like this. And then he hears "khung".
And then he opens his eyes,
and he thinks wow, he's relieved, he's alive. He's thinking
what happened? And then he looks. He looks next to him
and he sees a big bite or a big piece that has been taken out of the
pier.
So there is a bite taken
out, or there is a piece bitten out, both are ok. So there is
a big piece that has been bitten out or taken out of the pier and
planks. So he thinks, "oh, lucky I'm still alive".
Then the next scene.
I'm imagining, this is the next day or maybe next week. Again,
he gets his fold up chair, he puts it down, he sits down, he gets
his fishing basket, he opens it, he gets the McDonald's... this
time, he's with his wife, and he hands, or gives, or passes the
McDonald's to her.
And she is sitting on the
pier, thinking "oh wow, lucky, you know, what a nice husband I have
giving me the McDonald's". We all want McDonald's, because
it's a McDonald's advertisement/commercial - so everyone wants
McDonald's. "Wow, what a nice guy".
He moves his chair a little
bit away from her because he knows what's going to happen. And
you can see. She is sitting on the new planks, so there is the
old wood, the old planks, and then there's the new planks that have
been replaced from the bite - the day before, the week before, the
month before... we don't know when, but, before.
He moves his chair away,
and waiting, for the shark I guess, I don't know what it was, but I
guess it was a shark. Waiting for the shark to get the
McDonald's and eat his wife also, so a bit of "yeah, get rid of my
wife" type of commercial as well. Bit of a funny commercial.
You know, husband-wife fighting type of thing.
So that's the commercial.
Not a lot of new vocabulary, but some - the pier. It's a very small
pier. So the pier is a wooden structure. If you go to the
water - you can Google Pier.. P-I-E-R for images. It's usually
wooden long piece that you can walk out on, go fishing on, something
like that over the beach area, the sea, the ocean, near the beach -
so it's a pier.
The planks of wood.
Each piece of wood is called a plank. Drops the hat. Not
a new word, but I know some people said throw, some people said
place or put. The car took off quickly. She took off
quickly, driving, starting quickly.
They're about the only
words for this lesson, so... hope you enjoyed it and I'll see you
next week in the next Gold Membership video description lesson.
See you then.
