Do you feel stressed out when people start asking you questions about you in English?

Do you get nervous, confused?

Why?

Why are you scared?

Well, sometimes it's because suddenly the attention is on you and you have to respond.

Right?

So, my name is Rebecca, and in this lesson I'll show you how to solve that problem very easily.

Now, of course, there are all kinds of questions in English, but in this lesson we'll focus

on questions with the verb "to be" in the past, present, and future.

Why only the verb "to be"?

Because the verb "to be" is a very common verb in English, and lots of questions are

asked to you using this verb.

Now, because people ask you a lot of questions, in this lesson I'm only going to focus on

questions that people ask you, so you know exactly how to answer.

These are not how to answer questions about him, or her, or us, or them.

Okay?

Only about you.

All right?

So by the end of this lesson you will know how to answer these questions, and feel much

more confident and comfortable.

Okay?

Let's get started.

So, first of all, the thing to remember that in English when somebody asks you a question,

especially when it's a yes or no question, you don't usually just say: "Yes." or: "No."

because it sounds a little too short, and could be a little rude, could sound nervous,

could sound angry.

So usually we say a little bit more.

Why?

Just because then it sounds a little bit more like a sentence.

And these...

This little bit more are...

This is called short answers.

Okay?

That's what we'll learn now.

So, for example, the question will start something like this: "Are you something?" and we're

going to practice many times so you get it, and your answers...

The options are: "Yes, I am." or: "No, I'm not."

Okay?

This and this, these are called short answers with the verb "to be".

"Yes, I am.", "No, I'm not."

Okay?

This is, of course, contracted a little bit, but don't analyze it.

Okay?

Just repeat it after me so that it comes out of your mouth very easily.

So, now I'm going to ask you some questions about you, and wherever you are, I want you to answer.

If you're in a library, say it quietly.

Okay?

Or say it in your mind, but better if you can actually pronounce it and say it.

So I'm asking you: Are you married?

You could say: "Yes, I am." or: "No, I'm not."

Okay?

So say it.

Really, tell the truth about you.

Okay?

Next: Are you American?

So you probably said: "Yes, I am." or: "No, I'm not."

Are you having dinner right now?

"Yes, I am.", "No, I'm not."

Okay.

Are you a student?

"Yes, I am.", "No, I'm not."

Are you at the library?

What did you say?

"Yes, I am."

And some of you said: "No, I'm not."

In case you realized, these are general questions, these are a little bit academic, and now we

come to the more professional questions somebody might ask you at work.

Are you a manager?

And you could say: "Yes, I am." or: "No, I'm not."

And last: Are you attending any meetings this week?

Even if you're not, just pretend.

Give me an answer.

"Yes, I am.", "No, I'm not."

Okay?

So, in the present tense these are the only two options you have, these are the only two

things you have to learn: "Yes, I am.", "No, I'm not."

Next we'll look at how to answer these questions in the past.

So, in the past our question will be: "Were you something?"

Okay?

And the answer will be: "Yes, I was." or: "No, I wasn't."

Say it after me: "Yes, I was.", "No, I wasn't."

Okay?

So, let's look at some imaginary questions.

These are general, these are to do with the academic world, and this has to do with work

or at your job. Okay?

So: Were you busy yesterday?

So you could say: "Yes, I was." or: "No, I wasn't."

Were you in London last year?

You could say: "Yes, I was."

Maybe you were.

Or: "No, I wasn't."

Okay, next: Were you ready for your last English test?

I hope you're saying: "Yes, I was because I watched engVid."

Or: "No, I wasn't. I have to watch more engVid."

Okay.

Or: Were you doing your homework when I called?

Okay?

"Yes, I was." or: "No, I wasn't."

All right.

Now: Were you on the phone?

"Yes, I was." or: "No, I wasn't."

And last: Were you at the conference last week?

And you're saying either: "Yes, I was." or: "No, I wasn't."

Okay?

So you see how it's building, right?

How it changes, of course it changes because first we talked about the present tense.

-"Are you?"

-"Yes, I am."/"No, I'm not."

Then we talked about the past tense: "Were you?"

so your answer changes: "Yes, I was."/"No, I wasn't."

And last we're going to talk about the future tense.

So, in the future our question is: "Will you be something?"

Okay?

And the answer is: "Yes, I will."

or: "No, I won't."

Again, don't analyze it.

Just accept and remember that the positive answer is: "Yes, I will.", negative answer:

"No, I won't."

All right?

Now let me ask you some questions;

some general ones, some academic ones, and some professional ones.

So: Will you be at home tomorrow?

What did you say?

"Yes, I will."?

Okay.

Or:

"No, I won't."

Remember you have to say the whole thing.

Don't leave out the ending.

I want to hear: "won't".

Okay?

Next: Will you be going to the party on Saturday?

So maybe you said, let's pretend there's a party on Saturday:

"Yes, I will."

or: "No, I won't."

Good.

Will you be in the coffee shop?

"Yes, I will.", "No, I won't."

Will you be studying for the exam tonight?

"Yes, I will."

or: "No, I won't."

Will you be at work on Friday?

"Yes, I will."

or: "No, I won't."

Will you be applying for the job?

So maybe you can say: "Yes, I will."

or: "No, I won't."

Now, what was the point of these short answers?

The whole point of the short answers is that you don't have to repeat the whole question.

Right?

So, when we said: "Yes, I will" it means:

"Yes, I will be applying for the job",

but we don't have to say the whole thing. Okay?

So by giving these short answers, they're like shortcuts that make it much easier for

you to answer.

So, are you feeling better now?

Are you feeling more relaxed?

Are you feeling less nervous?

I hope you're saying: "Yes, I am."

Okay?

So, how are you going to feel more and more confident?

ACCA F7 Exam question: Conceptual framework (Answer to the Specimen exam 2016 MCQ 10) - Duration: 1:48.

So which of the following is not (IS NOT) a purpose of the conceptual framework.

OK, so we've learned about what it is and how it works so just be

comfortable and just think hmm you know is this a purpose or not. Try and forget

your textbook. So, to assist the IASB in preparing and reviewing new standards.

Yes, definitely, because it's a foundation, isn't it. It's the foundation of theoretical

principles that allow us to build new IFRS and to review whether the

old ones really good or not. To help auditors to form an opinion on whether

financial statements comply with IFRS. Again that is true because when you

comply with IFRS you're trying to look at are they are they following not only

the rules in the standards but are they following the principles are they

following the the spirit of the rules and the conceptual framework will help

us with that. Does it help us in assisting in determining the treatment

of items that aren't covered by IFRS so maybe you've got a specific something

new that's happened on the new to do with technology and you can't find any

reference to it in IFRS then you would go to the conceptual framework so it

looks to me like the answer D. Otherwise they are all right. Let's check to be

authoritative where a specific IFRS conflicts with the conceptual framework

and what that means is in a conflict the conceptual framework takes over the IFRS

and that is not true. It doesn't. It's not a standard if there is a conflict then

the IFRS the standard itself wins. OK, so the answer is D my friends.

'Talking Is Not the Answer.' President Trump Dismisses Diplomacy With North Korea |News General - Duration: 6:52.

'Talking Is Not the Answer.' President Trump Dismisses Diplomacy With North Korea

(WASHINGTON) — True to form, President Donald Trump sowed policy confusion with a tweet.

Declaring Wednesday that talking is not the answer on North Korea, Trumps message appeared to clash with efforts by his Cabinet members to safeguard the possibility of a diplomatic solution as Kim Jong Uns military races toward mastering a nuclear-tipped missile that can reach America.

The presidents morning tweet came a day after a highly provocative North Korean missile test that flew over Japan, a close American ally, potentially endangering civilians on the ground. On Wednesday, Kim called for more weapons launches in the Pacific.

has been talking to North Korea, and paying them extortion money, for 25 years. Talking is not the answer! Trump tweeted.

The statement raised fresh uncertainty about the Trump administrations strategy for North Korea. plans address the Norths growing nuclear capabilities is of increasing urgency not just in Northeast Asia, but also in the United States.

Last month, the isolated, communist country tested for the first time a missile that could potentially strike the U.S. mainland.

Trump didnt spell out what he meant by extortion, but he appeared to be referring to the $1.3 billion the U.S. has provided in aid to North Korea since 1995. Most of that has been food and fuel.

Criticism of past administrations failures to halt North Koreas march toward nuclear weapons has been a recurrent theme from Trump. However, his comment overlooked that fact theres been virtually no U.S.

aid to North Korea since early 2009. Talks also have been in limbo for years. The last formal negotiation between Washington and Pyongyang on the nuclear issue occurred in 2012.

Eliminating the possibility of new negotiations could limit U.S. options. It also risks increasing the chance of military confrontation between nuclear-armed powers. Within hours of Trumps tweet, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis appeared to contradict him.

Were never out of diplomatic solutions, Mattis said as he met with his counterpart from South Korea for talks on military readiness.

The U.S.-allied government supports, in theory, greater diplomatic outreach to Pyongyang. If war were to ever break out, millions of South Koreans would immediately find themselves within range of the Norths large conventional weapons arsenal.

In Geneva, Robert Wood, the U.S. ambassador to the Conference on Disarmament, sought to explain the presidents tweet.

Trump was expressing his frustration at North Koreas dangerous and provocative threats, Wood said. But like Mattis, he said the U.S. remained willing to discuss the Norths denuclearization.

The United States is open to trying to deal with this question diplomatically, but the other side is not, Wood told reporters. Its not the first time Trump has complicated his administrations national security message via social media.

Last month, as aides worked to defuse tensions between Qatar and its Arab neighbors, Trump blindsided them by tweeting that Qatar funded terrorism. The gas-rich monarchy hosts 11,000 U.S. troops.

Trump also surprised officials with tweets on Russia and banning transgender people in the military.

engagement with North Korea argue that periods when the U.S. is talking and providing aid to the country have proved the most successful in curbing its weapons development.

In the past five years, without formal talks, the Norths technological strides have been most rapid.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson last week hinted at possible direct talks if North Korea demonstrated its sincerity by stopping weapons tests. also has been maintaining a diplomatic back channel with North Korea. The immediate outlook for diplomacy, however, appears bleak.

On Wednesday, North Koreas Kim called for more weapons launches into the Pacific Ocean.

The Korean Central News Agency said the launch that overflew Japan was of an intermediate-range missile that the North first successfully tested in May and threatened to fire into waters near Guam earlier this month.

It described the launch as a muscle-flexing countermeasure to U.S.-South Korean military drills that conclude Thursday.

Trump offered a surprisingly subdued, initial response to the Japan overflight Tuesday, without any of the bombast of earlier this month when he warned the North of fire and fury if its threats persist.

He said all options are on the table, a standard formulation signaling Washington hasnt ruled out military action.

Security Council on Tuesday condemned the launch as outrageous, there was no move to impose more sanctions.At the disarmament body in Geneva, North Korean diplomat Ju Yong Chol said the councils statement revealed Washingtons evil intention to obliterate the DPRKs sovereignty and rights to existence and development..

my reasoning only gives me one answer - Duration: 0:39.

My heart is racing like it's about to burst

I wanna know what's next

Adrenaline rush

Pumping through my whole body

Don't know what you do to me

My reasoning only gives me one answer

But my heart isn't sure, call me crazy I still want you

Up and down like a rollercoaster

Have I not gotten a hold of myself yet?

I sink into this dark, swirling swamp

Struggling, three times, four times, and it'll keep repeating
