Vocabulary – Weather, climate, and natural disasters

:D I got 100 :D Thank you very much for your class :D very useful !!!!!

moldret

Well, I don’t really know what to say, your lesson left me speecheless.

Learning vocabulary is not just -as far as I can see- a matter of knowing the meaning of a word.

In this lesson you showed us the importance of word context (knowing cultural aspects and different word uses not to mention their regional variations).

Well-designed quiz!!!

Just out of curisity Mr. Benn, how long does it take you -on average- to develop your quizes?

Have a great weekend!!!

Regino

Hi Regino,

It depends. I actually find the grammar lessons easier to create than vocab lessons. IELTS ones are difficult. It can be anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour.

Adam

7/10 Thanks adam

adalberto75

Thank you Adam. Very nice lesson. I’m new here. :D I got 100 :D Disaster is my focus on my study ;) Could you please teach us how to use “rather” in a sentence? I’m still confused of using “rather”. Thank you

Adi Articuno

Hi adi,

There are many uses of the word ‘rather’. I can tell you about the one that i know.

We use rather, to show our ‘preference’ in a particular matter.

For example – If you told me to do my homework, i’d say, “I’d rather watch TV”. This means – I would prefer watching TV, over ‘doing’ my homework.

Another example for you – If my mother offers me an ice-cream, i could say, “No thanks! I’d rather have a chocolate”. Meaning – I would choose to eat a chocolate instead of choosing to eat an ice-cream. My preference – ‘chocolate’

Hope it helped

Thank you very much for the explanation Abhishek. (y)

Adi Articuno

Happy to help! Welcome to EngVid :)

abhishek1995

Thanks Abhishek)

Rashad Gadirli

Hi Adi,

Abhi gave a good example, as usual. I’ll give you another meaning: rather can be used similarly to ‘instead’.

e.g.: She didn’t go to Florida as she had planned, but rather to New York, where she met up with friends.

There are a couple of other uses, but hey are rarely used anymore and are very formal. These two should do the trick.

Adam

Thanks, teacher! In my opinion, all people of the world like to talk about the weather, mostly in the elevators rs

LucaCost

Sure! me too!!

cesarpcss

Haha, and when we have nothing to say, or to start a conversation! Agree with you,Lucas.

LorenaTeles

For sure kkk
Lorena, let me ask you something. Do you use Skype to practice English?

LucaCost

Yes Lucas, I don’t have so much time to stay online, but sometimes I use it.

LorenaTeles

Very nice lesson, Adam! You are a great teacher!

marceloangelo

Good lesson! Thanks Adam!

So good!

CarmenCastro

9 correct out of 10 :) Speaking to volcanic eruption,I remind Shimabara Fugendake. It occurred when I worked in my hometown (Shimabara peninsula) :( But I and my family were safe. Speaking to earthquacke and tsunami, I remind Fukushima. I was shocked when the strong earthquacke occurred. Thank you for your great lesson, Adam. Helpful :)

Happy04

Hi Mr.Happy04
I wonder if I can talk toyou about your country and culture which I like very much and I have many questions about your behaviors, respect for nature, diversity of arts….please can you answer me?

Nabilati

Hi Nabilati :) I wonder if I can answer your question…but what’s your question? Answering question will be good study for me :)

Happy04

And sorry for the time you spend in hospital, I read your profile, I thought you were a man, but nice to know that you’re a mom!:)

Nabilati

My icon looked like man, didn’t it? No problem :D
Well…I think I have learnt about custom and respecting old people, nature, parents etc…from schools, companies I worked, TV news and friends repetitively and gradually. I remind my parents (especially mother) have worried about money and body. My answer is to be to the point for you? Sorry if I misunderstand your question…and my English is poor.

Happy04

Hi Nabilati,

If you really want to understand the Japanese, I recommend a book called The Anatomy of Dependence, by Takeo Doi. The Japanese are a very interesting people. I lived in Japan for 6 years and still have many questions :)

Adam

Dear HappyO4

I respect your country and its people a lot! In my country India, we are always given the example of Japan, whenever we are given a lesson on discipline :)

best regards
abhi

abhishek1995

Hi abhi :)
TV shows say Japanese technology and lessons on discipline are of use as a reference in all of the world. Honest to say, they haven’t hit me yet. But I should be proud of Japan more, should I. Thank you for your reply :)

Happy04

Yes HappyO4, you have good reasons to be proud of Japan :) In fact we all do :)

abhishek1995

Hi Happy,

I experienced some earthquakes in Japan as well. It was fun the first few times, but then I started to realize how dangerous it can be.

Adam

Hi Adam :) Thank you for your replies and recommend the book. I would like to read it someday :) BTW When earthquakes occurred, I stopped like stone because of…maybe panic the first few times. And when I felt stronger earthquakes like 3/11 (I forgot the year), I hid under the table wishing it would stopped soon.

Happy04

Thanks Adam. I got 10/10. I’m from Indonesia. There was a Tsunami happened here in 2004.
Btw, it’s should be “avalanche” not “avalance”. I’ve checked my dictionary :)

erikaris

Absolutely right, Erikaris. That was a typo on my part. Good eye. :)

Adam

I GOT 100, thank you Adam

Congratulations)

Rashad Gadirli

Hi, Adam! Thank you for the very useful lesson.
In Japan, we have a lot of heavy rain nowadays. And then in Hiroshima, many people died because of mudslide.
We have a not few typhoon during summer to autumn. And at the same time, we’re afflicted by earthquake almost everyday.
Why are we living in such a country that have a lot of disasters?lol It’s just a kidding. But then we have very beautiful place to visit such as Mt. Fuji, Nikko, and more!
I envy climate of Canada. Because it seems to not too hot during summer. But if I visit Canada during winter, I would suffer its massive coldness. Because I get cold very easily.

Thank you.

juneriver

Hi Juneriver,

I lived in Japan 6 years. I used to ask that same question ;)

Adam

Thank you Adam , very useful lesson .

Alloughani

I got 10/10 thanks Adam

Sandeep

10/10. Very well explained, speaking in terms of definitions and meanings. By the way at the same time you Adam were recording this video lesson, in Iceland occurs another volcano eruption, this time was the Bardarbunga (strange name for a Volcano, isn’t it ?) BARDARBUUUUNGA.

Jorge Pedroso

Thank you Adam.I am very appreciate your help. The very awesome teaching. God bless you.

reza.wab

The lesson is perfect. Thank you, Adam.

Andrew Maliko

Here in Reunion Island (Indian Ocean) we have cyclones every summer, volcano eruptions sometimes, and low earthquakes (due to the volcano activity). No tsunami till now, but it happened we got very strong swells…

annie974

I got 100 point. Adam can explain very well. I will try to plactice English anymore.

sleepyhead

Thanks, Mr. Adam. That was so interesting, but what is the difference between magma, ashes and lava?

Mr. Salem

Hello Mr. Salem

Magma and Lava, both are the same thing. The names depend on the location of the molten rocks. When it is in the interior of the earth. But when ‘Magma’ comes out of the volcano, it is called ‘Lava’. ‘Ashes’ are the solid black remains that are left behind after you burn something, for example – a paper.
hope it helped,
regards
abhi

abhishek1995

So basically, we call the molten rocks, ‘Magma’, when they are in the interior of the earth, and ‘Lava’, when they come out of the volcano.

abhishek1995

Hi Mr. Salem,

Abhi gave an excellent answer. I would only add an example of ashes. When someone smokes a cigarette, they drop ashes on the ground.

Hope that helps.

Adam

I got 10/10 thanks for this lesson !

HurricaneAngel

Hello!Thanks M.Adam for the explinations that I found very useful very clear, simple and consise.I got good marks in the quizes after the lessons.

Hi Tejalkk,

It’s nice to see that you want to go to visit Canada. A TIP :- Don’t forget to get a ride on the Rocky Mountaineer train journey. It will leave a lasting impression!
regards
abhi

abhishek1995

Hi abhi,
As far as I know Canada’s snowfall is incomparable with snowfall in India.I live in Mumbai where there is no snowfall :-( I am bit upset for that but anyways i can compensate it by going to canada as it would be totally different and awesome as compare to snowfall in India :-)
I read out your comment,it seems that you had been to Canada several times..i am just kidding you ;-)
Well,thanks a lot abhi for suggesting me some tips regarding my canada trip.I will definitely try out your trip whenever i go to Canada.thank you again.
Regards,
TEJALKK.

TEJALKK

yeah sure, tejalkk :)

abhishek1995

I wanted to write MUMBAI instead of India in earlier comment..Sorry..

TEJALKK

What a luck that in Poland there are no such bad climate events like that.
As a matter of fact there are same small flood and other events but not such catastrophic in the effects.

leotrinhtran

Hi Adam,
are you sure that the symbols of the cold and warm front are correct?? The red line, warm front, should have round bulges and the blue line should be spiky. But it was a very good and understandable lesson, thank you! :)

Stefan B

Hi Stefan,

You are right. I mixed them up. semi-circles, like waves, for heat wave. triangles, like icicles, for cold front.

Good job. I’ll let everyone know at the end of the comments.

Bobby

What a wonderful lesson Adam. Here in Brazil I never heard many of this terms. (In Brasil we don’t have snow, earthquakes, tornados, volcanos, tsunamis) That was very interesting to hear about all this events that I personaly only knew watching the news. Here we have floods at region south and droughts at the north. Here in São Paulo (southeast of Brazil) we’re living for the first time a critical situation. Our water reservatories are very very low. We are 12 millions of people at the metropolis and more than 20 millions with the closest cities around. We’re almost praying for rain drops. I mean for a great storm to refuel our reservatories.

Marco Marx

Here in Brazil, in my turn, I’ve listened to lots of news about snow, earthquakes, tornadoes, vocanos, tsunamis, etc but they are not common in the our routine. In the central part, sometimes, it occurs earthquakes, and in São Joaquim City, you can see frequently icestorms and even snowfall.

Edinho

I know Edinho. But we cannot compare the earthquakes that we experience here to a real earthquake, like in Japan or Chile. Our country lies inside a big tectonic plate. What we feel here it’s just a distant reflex of some real seismic shaking. The frosty that rarely happens in the south of Brazil it’s ‘nothing’ compare to the north of Canada. That’s more or less what I tried to expose. Our weather is sunny and hot almost 70% of the year. I never experienced a negative temperature. In Sao Paulo the worst weather I experienced was 4 ºC. That was the coldest winter I ever lived.

Marco Marx

Thank you, Adam! I didn’t know about differencies between tornado, hurricane and cyclone.

KittyKatty

I learnt a lot of vocabulary with this lesson! =) I didn’t know that hurricane, typhoon and the others are the same thing but in different places. Good to know!
In my country (Brazil), we haven’t snow, or typhoons, or hurricanes (I don’t remember what happens in the South America hehehe), but we have drought (even having a lot of rivers) and floods.

Carol3139

Brazil is a continental country…

Edinho

better… It’s a enormous, large country and sometimes we cannot know it enough!

Edinho

But I didn’t speaksomething wrong?

Carol3139

Nope, all good Carol :)

Adam

It’s because we have snow here in Brazil, specially in SC, and we had a cyclone called Catarina, 10 years ago.

baschirotto

Very good class Teacher. Congratulations.

GiannineSouza

armando333

Thanks for this wonderful lesson, dear teacher Adam. I live in State of Sao Paulo, Brazil, and we are now suffering from a severe drought, the worst I’ve ever seen!

flamachado

Good Class, Teacher! Just a little comment: the representation of the cold front and the hot waves is wrong. The colors are right. But the cold front is showed as triangles and the hot wave is showed as semicircles.
Congratulations for your facility in teach English and Meteorology. You have showed a very good knowledge about this subject. Thanks!

Ruda

Hi Ruda,

You are right. I mixed them up. semi-circles, like waves, for heat wave. triangles, like icicles, for cold front.

Good job. I’ll let everyone know at the end of the comments.

Adam

I love your videos, thanks :D

Fabiola Hva

10/10! A pretty easy to follow lesson. Thank you, Adam.

I live in Teresópolis, and we had a terrible natural disaster here a few years ago;

sepp57

Thank you very much for the lesson! Very useful information.
I remember a day,long time ago,in March 1977.I was a child at that time, living in a small town, with my parents.There was in the evening when the earth began to quake.We took cover under a doorframe.I was hearing the walls creaking, crackling, everything around was shaking.It was a dreadful experience.
Fortunately for me,the earthquake wasn’t so strong in my town, so our house only got some cracks in the walls. But in our capital, Bucharest, a lot of buildings fell down, and a lot of people died.

Wow, that sounds terrifying! I’m glad you were OK.

oh Adam really u the best thanks alot your lessons helped me alot ..dear Adam would u teach me about transcripton pls??really Iam suffering from phonetics !simply it make me sad !!

haboosh adil

Hi Haboosh,

I’m sorry, I’m not sure what you mean. Do you want to learn how to transcribe what you hear? English phonetics is a little strange. You have to write down what you hear as you hear it; then, check the dictionary. Once your spelling is good, it will be much easier to transcribe things.

Is this what you had in mind?

Adam

Thank you so much :)

Nawz

9/10 :)

Shanjin

THank you Adam, it’s a nice class! But I think the symbol’s colors of the “heat wave” and “cold front” are just opposite.

Fuchen

Red hami-circle represents to “heat wave”, and the blue tri-angle represents to “cold front”.

Fuchen

Hi Fuchen,

You are right. I mixed them up. semi-circles, like waves, for heat wave. triangles, like icicles, for cold front.

Good job. I’ll let everyone know at the end of the comments.

Adam

Hi Adam I have a question again. I hope you or Abhi will help me again. What is the meaning this sentence: your jaw is scraping the floor.

cerenacar

yani diyorki sana bi vururum bi de yer vurur diyo. çeneni yerden toplarsın diyo. sanki.

ecankul

Hi cerenacar

Sorry for the delay. Although i think ecankul has answered your question but i am not sure about it because it is not in English.

‘scrape the jaw off the floor’, is an expression. This means that you were so surprised on seeing something, that your jaw dropped a long way down in astonishment, and you had to scrape it up!

I could also mean, ‘injuring’ your teeth when you fell down hard against the floor.

But i prefer the first meaning. Do let us know if you are still confused.

regards
abhi

abhishek1995

Hi Cerenacar,

Abhi explained it well. Think of cartoons you’ve seen where the character is so surprised or shocked that the lower part of the face (lower mouth and chin) drops to the floor.

Adam

Thank you, Adam! Very useful lesson.In my coutry people say:”If you have nothing to say, speak about weather”

Kiyara

Hi Kiyara,

I think that’s a global thing ;)

Adam

It was a dream lesson. Thanks Adam.we had a huge earthquake in istanbul on 17 august 1999 , at 3:02 a.m local time. It was measured 7.4
Killed more than 17.000 people. I was in Istanbul that time. I felt it . I woke up then I took one of my twins but I didn’t other. One who I took didn’t wake up otherwise one who I didn’t take woke up then he said to me ” do not shake my bed”

Manolya

Thank you mr.Adam for this lesson.

Pavel Ko

Dear Adam,
Hi…hope everything goes well around you.

There’s a grammar ? by me, would you mind 2 lend me a helping hand pls ?!!

“two other books” o “other two books” o “both” r right ?

Tnx in advance,
fatiima!

fatiima8

Hi Fatiima,

I think it depends on the structure of the sentence.

It could be, “Do check out the ‘TWO OTHER BOOKS’ of mine” or “Do check out my OTHER TWO BOOKS”. Adam sir will be able to give the correct explanation :)

regards
abhi
abhi

abhishek1995

lol :D sorry. I typed ‘abhi’ twice :)

abhishek1995

tnx.

fatiima8

It’s all good )

Adam

Hi Fatima,

As Abhi said, it depends on the context. And yes, both can be correct.

The professor recommended this book, but there are two other books that I think will be useful for you.( meaning other than this one)

The professor recommended three books. This one is the best, but the other two books can be useful as well. (The other two of the three mentioned)

Does this help?

Adam

1st thing 1st, a warm hi & thanks dear Adam…

Tell you the truth, in the English class of mine with kids, as a game, I hide some flash cards around the class, then I ask them to find & say the names of the pictures on the flash cards. After finding some by them, I say for instance : just 2 other flash cards are remained, you have find 2 other flash cards. This is the exact situation of my ? .

Is my ? right in this position?!!? “2 other flash cards” are remained.

Many thanks dear professor.
Kind Regards,
fatiima!

fatiima8

Oh sorry…
You have to find 2 other…

fatiima8

Hi Fatima,

You have to say:

Ok, there are still 2 cards. Find the other two cards.

Or:
there are two more cards. Find the two cards.

If you told them there were 5 cards and they found 3, then they would have to find the other 2.

Adam

How can I thank you,dear friendly Adam ??!!!

Really nice of you.

fatiima!

Great lesson! I loved to study a geography few years ago. Your lesson reminded me a lot of knowledge!

Pauletta00

Thanks a lot for this lesson! I learned too much from it.

Ouattara

Hi Adam, thank you Adam very nice lesson. could you plz tell me what does it mean?. “I can’t stand sweet potatoes, but I manage to force them down just to keep from making a scene”. I dont understand the meaning of “just to keep from making sense”.

fari.immy

Hi Fari

‘To create a scene’ means ‘to cause public disturbance’. For example, if two people start fighting on the street, they will create a scene.

If you and your family are having dinner and suddenly you start moaning and behaving like kids, just because you don’t like sweet potatoes, you will create a scene.

Now you want to know what ‘just to keep from making a scene’ means, right?

It means, “Just to ‘AVOID’ making a scene”.

‘to keep from’ means ‘to AVOID’ :)

AGAIN! In simple words, the sentence means, “I don’t like sweet potatoes but I still force them down my ‘food pipe’ just to AVOID creating public disturbance”

do let us know if you still have any confusion.

regards
abhi

abhishek1995

Hi Fari,

Abhi gave a definitive answer. I’ll just add one more note: making a scene also suggests attracting too much unwanted attention.

Adam

wow, i got 10/10. But I’m still confuse all those words. Hope i can remember it and use it in real :):)

John Lucas

Hi John,

To be honest, I don’t deal with exchange schools, so can’t make a good recommendation. Your school should have a list of these though. Have you discussed this with them?

Adam

Hi Adam. They said about BLI school in Montreal. Do you know? I’m waiting study 6 months there.

John Lucas

I don’t know it, bu the site looks nice :)I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. As long as they have students, it’ll be good for you.

jonandez

Sir. What is the different b/w mudslide and landslide?

Syedjavad

Hi Syedjavad,

A landslide usually occurs on a slope (side of mountain or hill) and can include rocks and trees and anything else. A mudslide can move along flatter land and is really just mud (or debris) that flows along a channel (like a river).

Does this help?

Adam

Thank you so much, Adam !!! :)

Hi buddy :) I like to dance in a snow squall! It’s very funny tasting the snow and having it all around your body and then became a snow man/snow girl ! ;) hahahaha

Emanuela

If you lie on the grass that is covered by snow and move your arms and legs in their arches, when you stand up, you will leave a snow angel on the ground :)

Adam

Great job everyone.

A couple of notes:

A few of you have noticed that I made a mistake in the lesson – for a heat wave, the line is red with semi-circles (look like waves). For a cold front, the line is blue with triangles (look like icicles).

Also. avalanche with ‘h’, not avalance.

Good eyes guys :)

Adam, could you answer me just a question? When you talk about blizzard at 5:07 you say “not fun to DRIVE IN, not fun to WALK IN”? Correct? Sorry for the simple question, but my ears betray me =D

MarceloDS

Hi Marcelo,

Your ears do you well :)

(that’s what I said)

The lessons are awesome! The best way to learn for me! Dynamic and rich! I would like just to mention the symbol used for “cold front” is the one you used for the “hot wave” but in blue. Just to add ;)

I remember most of these words from studying the National Geographic books .. they are really useful.

I wish I would never forget both the vocabulary and grammar .. How can I ?

The words pronunciation is difficult

Hello Adam, Thank you for this wonderful lesson. I am a student in Fine art at Goldsmiths University in the UK and for my final project, I have been working on your tutorial about natural disasters mixing it with some economical crisis. I was wondering if you would agree to record my version so I could show it for my show ( it would only be your voice). tk you so much. Olivia

oliviadeprelle

Katia.15

Got a perfect score again. Your lessons are really easy to understand. By the way we’re experiencing drought here in the philippines right and it’s not really nice to go outside especially around 12 pm cause it”s really really hot around that time. Thanks adam hope you had a nice weather back there in your country…

Ryan18

Thank you for all your amazing classes Adam, I really appreciate your work.. This is my first comment ever but I have been learning from your videos, quizzes, and now I am starting to study from your website writetotop.com.. I am planning on taking the TOEFL in the future so I wanted to ask your opinion about the website http://www.khanacademy.com to practice. This website’s purpose is to help students to practice for the SAT. If you have the opportunity to check it out I would appreciate to know your thoughts about its contents to practice for the TOEFL. Thank you very much

LucianV

Thanks for your excellent vocabulary lessons Adam… And a request… Could you please prepare a “fishing vocabulary” lesson? It’s too complicated because.. for instance fishes, eatable fishes especially, wild sea animals..etc Thanks a lot.

AdnanOrhan

Belal Anter

Canadian style!

emrahbulduk

Thanks Adam for your lesson. In Indonesia, we found many natural disasters because Indonesia is located in tropical areas. The natural disasters are a flood in Jakarta, an earthquake,a tsunami in Aceh, a volcanic eruption in Mt. Merapi, Yogyakarta, a drought sometimes. Look! I’d took a picture in Mt. Merapi that on October 2010 it erupted. Merapi is so beautiful, somebody who is going to Indonesia has to visit it :)

siham85

i got 8/10 . thank you so much Mr Adam.
17 years ago in Venezuela ,more specific in my hometown La Guarira occured a horrible natural disaster, it was a flood . when it happened i was 6 years old and my family and me were so scared because it was raining a lot day by day ,and also a lot of people died in a bad way. i still remember the news(after the disaster, because we were without electric energy during it) ,saying we have found pregnate women drowned in the sea,children,men,domestic animals, etc. Morover after it you could see many big stones that fell from the mountains in the middle of the streets ,destroyed houses, sad people trying to find their lost family between the debris ,and another terrible things. so,it was a very bad expirience to my state. Right now we are a strong people , facing everyday the life and rebuilding whith effort our beautiful home.

Howdy Adam!

You are a fantastic teacher, man! I really appreciate you. Congratulations for this lesson, because it’s rather useful and interesting. Now I have many words to use when I talk about this up-to-date topic.

Until next time! :)

Eduardo França

HI Adam, as I promised you last time, I did better today, 10/10. It’s easy to understand because in Canada the seasons are very specifics, separated one from the other, you can feel the diference, the changes, so I learned. Thank you so much, I love all your classes.

ivani

I got 100,Thank you so much

HUI-YU

I love your lessons. They are amazing.
And just to know, here in Brazil, the worst events are the local politicians, they make a big mess quickly ;-)

JEAN SILVA

Thanks Adam! I used your video in my classes with Italian speaker students! Great resource and really clear. They found your video an enjoyable way to study all those words related to weather/climate; I really appreciate the explanation about “natural events” vs. “natural disasters”
