Easy English Expression.
Rehashed! Hello everybody!
My name is Coach Shane and welcome to Easy English Expressions.
Come on, let's master English!
Happy Wednesday everybody Coach Shane here!
I hope you are not lacking in anything.
Let's go back in time.
Today's expression is to lack something.
L -A -C -K. Lack. Yeah, that ahh sound is difficult.
That American short ahh.
Ahh. Lack. Lack. To lack something.
What does it mean to lack something?
It means you are deficient in something.
You don't have enough of something.
You are short of something.
You are in need of something.
That something is insufficient.
So for me, I lack hair.
Yes, it's true. If you look on the top of my head, you will see my skin.
Not completely, there is some hair trying to hide the top of my head.
But I'll be honest, I'm lacking hair.
Believe me, when I go outside and the sun is shining, the first place I feel the sun is on the top of my head.
Because I'm lacking hair.
It's true. It's true.
What am I not lacking?
Well, I'm not lacking water.
I went to the store yesterday and I bought four big containers of drinking water.
So I have lots of water.
But I forgot to buy milk.
And I lack milk. I need some milk because I wanted to have cereal tomorrow morning.
But because I lack milk, I won't be able to have any.
Let's check out a dialogue.
Any advice? How do I get more YouTube viewers?
Well, you are lacking something.
What? Energy? Humor?
Hair. You might want to get a toupee.
What? What? What? What?
Yeah. Is that the reason my YouTube channels are not super popular?
Because I lack hair.
Is that the reason?
Do I lack energy? Do I lack humor?
Do I lack educational benefit?
I think I have those, but I do lack hair.
So this guy says I might want to get a toupee.
T -O -U -P -E -E. Toupee.
A toupee is a wig for men.
You know, that little fake hair that I can put on top of my head when I go outside or shoot a video.
Don't worry everybody.
I promise I will not get a toupee.
Should I get a toupee?
What's your opinion?
I don't think I need one, but if you think I need a toupee, please let me know.
Do I need a man's wig?
A men's wig? And what are you lacking?
Are you lacking anything?
Do you have enough of everything?
I hope so. If you're lacking something, let us know.
Tell everybody and tell us what you're going to do about it.
Are you going to do something about your thing that you're lacking?
Let us know. We will encourage you.
