Hey Kevin,
Kevin, yo, you got more toilet paper? …
No, no, get out, get out! Look I’m back home!!!, which means my first
semester of college is finally over.
These past
few months have definitely been a very …… interesting experience. College can be pretty crazy, but I try, I try
not to get distracted. I was a good boy,
you know? I uh… I took my father’s advice:
“No sex, no DRUG!” Thanks, Dad!
Overall
though, I am enjoying college. I’ve met
wonderful people. I’m taking interesting
classes, but this video is not all about that.
This video is about the things in college that I can’t stand.
Let me just
jump right into it. The food there is
not that good and sucks cause I can’t cook (in a dormitory). You know what I have to do? I have to eat cup noodles like six times a
week, I don’t even like to taste of it any more.
This next
one’s probably a good thing, but it annoys that hell out of me. My parents miss me, but they miss me a little
too much, just a little bit. They take turns
calling me every single day, like for no reason.
Hello? Hi, Kevin ~~ so what are you doing… uuh I’m
studying, Oh. Good good good. Is that
it?
Lastly thing
that annoys me is having to live in a dormitory. Don’t get me wrong, I love everyone on our
floor, but everyone lives so close by that is hard to get any privacy. I can’t even do a video without being rudely
interrupted.
Kevin, I
need more toilet paper, dude! Dude, I’m doing
something, Get OUT! No, no get
OUT!! No toilet paper? No!
So that’s
how college is for me and I hope everyone else is having a wonderful school
year. This is my favorite time of the
year, happy holidays to you all. I couldn’t
find my Santa hat, so I use this instead.
It’s been nice talking with you guys again. I missed you guys, which is why I made this
video like right when I got home. But, now
I got home and I gotta spend some time with the family, so I’ll catch you guys
later.
Exercise 1
OLD or ELDERLY
Both words refer to a
person who is no longer young. But
elderly has positive connotation, so it’s more polite.
HARD or CHALLENGING
Both words mean difficult,
but they have different connotations.
Hard can suggest frustrating.
Challenging can suggest interesting.
INEXPENSIVE OR CHEAP
Both words mean not
costing much money, but cheap has a negative connotation. It can suggest poor quality.
WORRIED or CONCERNED
Both words refer to the
same feeling about being interested because you care, but worried
stronger. It suggests the higher level
of anxiety being nervous.
WIFE or SPOUSE
Spouse could refer to
husband or wife, but this word has a very formal feeling to it. Wife and husband are for every day use. You wouldn’t say, “Let me introduce my
spouse.” You would say “Let me introduce
my wife or my husband.”
SHY or MODEST
Both words are generally
having the same meaning, but shy is stronger (than modest). Shy can suggest feeling awkward or
uncomfortable with other people or situation.
Modest simply suggests not showing too much pride.
ORCHESTRA or BAND
Both words refer to a
group of musicians, but band suggests a smaller number (than an
orchestra). In orchestra usually
suggests classical music.
