How to gain control of your free time, going further with this week’s TED talk
Show Notes

In this episode, Christina and Matthew talk about: 

  • the popularity of breakdown videos on YouTube
  • a TED talk by by Laura Vanderkam
  • how language learners can make time to improve their English 

The extra mile (useful English vocabulary you'll hear in the podcast): 

  • to break down = to separate something into parts; analyze
  • an analogy = a comparison between two things, typically for the purpose of explanation or clarification
  • to take away = to retain a key fact, point, or idea, typically one emerging from a discussion or meeting

Christina:

Hey everyone, Christina here. I hope you are having a great week. Today, I'm here with Matthew. Matthew, how are you doing?


Matthew:

I'm doing wonderful. Thank you. Yourself?


Christina:

Yep, doing well. Looking forward to the weekend. It's a Friday when we're recording this, so definitely looking forward to a little bit of free time, which is actually what we're going to talk about in today's podcast. Before we actually get into the topic, maybe we can just say a little bit about what we're doing with the videos. This week, we did what we call a breakdown video, and Matthew, I think this was your idea to do these types of videos if I'm not mistaken?


Matthew:

That's right, yeah. I'm a huge fan of YouTube. I barely watch any quote-unquote regular TV, as you say, and one of the things that is huge on YouTube and I watch some of these breakdowns of song
