Hello and welcome back to Word Up.
Maybe you're studying for the IELTS test or maybe you just want to improve your vocabulary.
Well, this is the game for you.
How do we play?
10 cards, $20.
If we get 8 out of 10 cards correct, that $20 is ours.
I'm excited.
I'm ready.
Let's meet our first player.
We're with Pip.
Welcome.
How are you feeling, Pip?
I'm good, a little bit nervous.
That's okay.
I feel like we're on a wavelength and we'll be connecting through the cards.
So I have a question for you.
What is your favourite thing to cook?
I'm a terrible cook, but I do love cooking scrambled eggs.
It's great.
Do you eat it just in the morning or do you eat it for dinner?
It's a good Sunday night meal when you've got nothing left over.
Yeah, I feel you.
I'm not a great cook either, so I appreciate the egg dishes.
Yes, they're great.
All right, are you ready?
I am.
I'm ready.
Can I get two minutes on the clock?
So when you are referring to your own being, you... Yourself.
What's another word to say that?
When you say, I didn't enjoy that or... Myself.
Yeah um, as a police something officer yep, great um, it's not public, but it is the opposite of it.
Great um, if i have a ball, in a lot of sports, i will something to the other person in netball um, another word throw.
Um, there's the present and then the future.
And what's the last?
Great um, if you're in soccer, in order to score points, you have to get a goal.
Yes, you do um one two three, four is a monday tuesday wednesday, thursday is a pattern sequence um, another word for sequence, or pattern um, you also do it when you go to mcdonald's.
You will place an order, thank you, so it's in our body and it is red blood.
Yes um, it was.
If something happened uh rather, if something happened soon, but in the past, so if something happened not that long ago, recently.
Yes, that is correct.
Number 10, it is not a shop, but it's another word for shop um, a venue um, it's like.
I think americans use it.
So if i was going to the supermarket store, store 10 out of 10, i don't even know if the clock.
The clock is there.
Oh, wow.
Wow, Pip.
How do you feel that you did?
That was good.
That was fun.
I think you described them very, very well.
Thank you.
I'm bludgeoning.
Well, this $20, it's yours.
Thank you very much.
10 out of 10.
Well, shall we go through the words?
Now, number one was I found it quite difficult to describe this, but I said when referring to one's being, because I couldn't use the word self.
So I said, what do you think I could have said?
Myself, it's tricky.
You could have gone a more grammatical route and said, when referencing yourself, oh no, but then you can't say self.
I don't know, that's a hard one, yeah.
So when you said yourself, I was like similar to that.
And then we got there in the end.
I feel like this one was easy, because often these two words get put together.
That was officer and I said police.
Yeah, I think that's the best way.
Anything else I don't think so.
I think that was a great way to describe it.
Another one that felt a bit easier, which was the opposite of public, which is private.
I don't know another way.
I think that's good having the opposite.
But I guess if we would look for synonyms, it's enclosed, it's out of sight of others, maybe.
Now this one I used a sports reference, throwing the ball.
So it's throw, that was the word.
Is there another?
To throw, to throw a tantrum, but that's probably harder than just describing it as the action itself.
Yeah, great.
This one was, I think you got very quickly as well, which was past.
So I said there's the present, there's the future, and then there's also the past.
So that's talking about the tenses.
Yes.
Goal was another one that I used for sport.
Sport yeah, and I think you could use it as you know what you want to achieve.
Yeah, that's another way of saying it.
Great um order was another one.
I used one two three four monday tuesday wednesday thursday, and then i also used at a.
At a fast food restaurant, you make a, an order which is yeah.
Would you have said anything else?
Well, I think both of those two descriptions combined really helped me to get the word in the end.
This one was pretty self-explanatory.
It's red and in the body, blood.
Although, would you have said anything else?
Talk about flowing through your veins or if you cut yourself.
Yeah.
And recently, which at first I gave you a bit of a bum steer, which means I kind of threw you in the wrong direction, but I think then we got there, which was something that happened not that long ago.
Yes, yes.
No, that worked well.
That worked well.
And then we have store, which is another, we say shop.
I don't know if you could have said anything else.
Store.
No, I think that's the best way to describe it.
Great.
Well, thank you so much.
It was fun.
We got 10 out of 10.
I can't believe it.
We can take the rest of the afternoon off, I think.
I think so.
We'll see you next time.
Thank you.
Well, thank you so much for watching.
That was a lot of fun.
I'm very excited to hear your thoughts in the comments.
So please, if you have anything to say, please comment.
We love reading what you have to say.
All right.
Until next time.
See ya.
