Hello, everybody. My name is Coach Shane, and welcome to Easy English Expressions.
Come on, let's master English.
Hello, everybody. Welcome back to Daily Easy English Expression, the podcast I like today's expression it is to leave my mark to leave my mark what does it mean to leave your mark L e a ve my my mark m a R K what it means is basically to leave a legacy after you die after you quit after you go and after you leave, will people remember you?
How will they remember you?
Well, one way to leave your mark could be on a tree.
So when you're a child maybe there's a tree in your neighborhood, and maybe you inscribed your name, Shane, in the tree.
And if you use a knife and you carve your name, you inscribe your name in the tree.
We taught inscribe yesterday, or rather on Monday, Friday, sorry, today's Monday, damn it.
So after many years go by, can you still see your name?
Yeah, you can, usually.
Sometimes, maybe not, but usually you can still see the name.
and even after a hundred years it might be possible to just kind of see your name.
Even though you're dead, people might still see your name.
You have successfully left your mark.
But that's not nice to the tree.
Hmm so what's way we can leave our mark.
Check out the dialogue and I'll give you some more ideas.
I'm leaving my mark on this rock.
For what? So that people will know that I I was here!
With watercolor paint?
Wha, wha, wha, wha.
Yeah. You could paint your name someplace.
And when people visit that place, they'll see your name, and they will see that.
Oh, Shane left his mark.
work but if you use watercolor paint well as soon as it rains, the paint is going to disappear.
Maybe that's environmentally safe, I don't know.
Well I'll tell you what though.
There are other ways to leave your mark and maybe you're a poet.
You could write a poem and even after you die, if people like the poem, they will still read the poem.
I have my YouTube videos.
And these podcasts I have to pay money for the podcast every month if I don't pay money the podcasts actually disappear You can help me everybody But YouTube that's free because they have their ads that they make money on so after I die Even though I'm gone My videos will still be there and hopefully I'll still be helping some people understand English.
So thanks to YouTube, I will be able to leave my mark digitally in this world.
What about you? Where have you left your mark?
Or how do you plan on leaving your mark.
