In English, we often need to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of something. You will definitely need to do this at work, on tests such as the IELTS and TOEFL, and also in everyday conversation. In this lesson, you will learn words that have the same meaning as advantage and disadvantage, such as drawback, downside, positive aspect, benefit, and many more. After watching, take our quiz to make sure you understood. There are many advantages to watching this video!
Hi teacher,as usually this lesson is very useful,with your good explanation….in fact,Engvid is a precious site web that teachs English Language to students worldwide.

Hi dear Emma, I have been carrying on your studies since when I was in my homeland, I migrated to Canada 9 months ago and i am resided in Toronto right now. Toronto is one of the terrible cities that I know for getting a job. Thank you for teaching us. I wish to see you one day in this big city.
Omid
Welcome to Toronto! I’m sorry you’re having trouble finding a job, it’s pretty difficult here right now. One upside: in a big city there’s lots of stuff to do for free!
engVid Moderator
A benefit of studying English on engvid.com that is we can study every time and everywhere. A drawback of this one is we don’t know how to practice these knowledge without negative speaker. Thank Emma for your lesson!

Thanks you Emme! :)

henri
Hi everyone! This is my first time when i’m writting here and it’s very exciting for me!!!))) Well, that’s because in my poinion my English skill is not good enought and I need to learn a lot of things!!)) However, I’d like to say to Emma: THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR WHAT YOU DO ON ENGVID.COM!!!!)))) Your lessons is always useful and interesting. I hope someday I will pass IELTS or TOFIL or something like that, with your great help!!)))
P.S.: also I’d like to say: It’s really cool that you like STAR WARS and comics!!!)))) I like them too)))
Efim Golovin
helo sir,
i have a suggestion for you, that if you ever want to clear the IELTS or TOFEL* exam, then you should stop using contractions in your sentences. try to avoid these contractions as much as you can. For instance, can’t, don’t, won’t, etc.
because, this will help you alot in passing out these tests.
have a nice day. :)
sharnjeet
I understood, thank You!)))
Efim Golovin
hahah you are very funny))))
TuTu Shahzade

Sorry)))
Efim Golovin
Thank you Emma for this awesome lesson!There are many advantages, but also have many disadvantages where I live.
By the way, thanks for remind us about correct pronunciation of the word “criticism”.
Wellington Porto Brito
i can say english depends on pronunciation for being understandable!!!!!
haidara
Thanks Emma for this lesson!
EduRJ2015
Hello Emma ,
Lack of vocabulary is a huge drawback for those who want to speak a foreing language . A frequent cristisism I have in mind is that traditional english courses often teach not enough synonyms . This leads to many negative aspects in conversation as stumbling over words and monotonous speeches . Your lesson ,Emma , makes a real benefit , here is the ultimate argument in favour of watching Engvid’s vidéos .
Thanks Emma and carry on .

9/10 I miss the point on the fifth, I thought that I have to use “an argument in favour about” instead “in favour of”. Well this are the advantages and disadvantages of learning English so late, oh if I had be more focus in the high school ….!

I have good reasons to study and have learned a lot with you. About the end of the words that end in (ism)I had heard some people saying and I got surprised about the sound, beacause in Brazil words ended in (ismo)sounds like (izmu): Example : fanatísmo
Not much different of english.

Hi dear Emma, I have been carrying on your studies since when I was in my homeland, I migrated to Canada 9 months ago and i am resided in Toronto right now. Toronto is one of the terrible cities that I know for getting a job. Thank you for teaching us. I wish to see you one day in this big city.
Welcome to Toronto! I’m sorry you’re having trouble finding a job, it’s pretty difficult here right now. One upside: in a big city there’s lots of stuff to do for free!
A benefit of studying English on engvid.com that is we can study every time and everywhere. A drawback of this one is we don’t know how to practice these knowledge without negative speaker. Thank Emma for your lesson!
Thanks you Emme! :)
Very useful lesson, Emma! It was the first time I see you on engvid.com, but Sure not will be the last. Greetings from México!

I hope someday I will pass IELTS or TOFIL or something like that, with your great help!!)))
P.S.: also I’d like to say: It’s really cool that you like STAR WARS and comics!!!)))) I like them too)))
helo sir,
i have a suggestion for you, that if you ever want to clear the IELTS or TOFEL* exam, then you should stop using contractions in your sentences. try to avoid these contractions as much as you can. For instance, can’t, don’t, won’t, etc.
because, this will help you alot in passing out these tests.
have a nice day. :)
I understood, thank You!)))
hahah you are very funny))))
*opinion
*enough
Sorry)))
Thank you Emma for this awesome lesson!There are many advantages, but also have many disadvantages where I live.
By the way, thanks for remind us about correct pronunciation of the word “criticism”.
i can say english depends on pronunciation for being understandable!!!!!
Thanks Emma for this lesson!
Hello Emma ,
Lack of vocabulary is a huge drawback for those who want to speak a foreing language . A frequent cristisism I have in mind is that traditional english courses often teach not enough synonyms . This leads to many negative aspects in conversation as stumbling over words and monotonous speeches . Your lesson ,Emma , makes a real benefit , here is the ultimate argument in favour of watching Engvid’s vidéos .
Thanks Emma and carry on .
wow,you did a great job
Emma,
Thank you very much.
It was really good and auxiliary.
regards
thank you emma .gracias mi amor
Hi, Emma, Nice to seeing you. Thank you for teaching us and thank very much ENGVID.COM to give us to learn English.
Hi teacher Emma

I think EngVid is a great web to learn English; it’s useful and it’s an advantage to us who are trying to improve our second languaje. Plese correct me if I made any mistake.

thanks for all teachers and web site builders
Thanks Emma! I really love you and your lessons!
9/10 I miss the point on the fifth, I thought that I have to use “an argument in favour about” instead “in favour of”. Well this are the advantages and disadvantages of learning English so late, oh if I had be more focus in the high school ….!
Thanks Emma.After your lesson i’m going to estimate all things i face today.and find out their advantages and disadvantages.
Thanks Emma, this gives me a lot of benefit
Thanks
hello emma im very glad to join your website it helpful
Thank you for your lessons!!
What does “get to” mean in this lesson “you get to visit or eat food all over the world ? Answer please. I think it’s similar to “can” , isn’t it?
THanks for lesson, i think this should be useful,like the others obviously…
If anyone thinks that he/she needs a little bit of speaking practise, cause i need it too, could add my skype mdln97, i won’t be able to stay daily,but i will try to answer at any kind of question.It could be interesting for you guys

the benefit of learning new vocab is to is improving your productive skills like writing and speaking, on the other hand the drawback of not using new vocab is forgetting these words

Thanks Emma
I want to communicate native canadian people or any other people who speak english well to improve my English
my account on skype :mohamed.aboufoul

a upside of being learning english here is you´re always upploading new videos and i can learn better everyday but a drawback is that i´k always busy and i cant get in here often
Dear Ms.Emma,
thank you kindly, it has been an interresting lesson. I should like to wish you and your family a nice happy Easter. I pay my respect to you wonderful Prof. H
a great lesson thanks emma
A benifit studying with this website is the contents are unbelivably good!

a benefit a drawback
an upside a downside
positive aspect negative effect
Thank you Emma! I loved your video.

Wonderful class as always Emma, thankyou! (Whenever i have time with people I was about to pronunciate the word criticism in the wrong way, now I know how to say that :) )
Thanks Emma, Learned some Well words of Advantage and disadvantage.
The good point about your Engvid lecture is they are very practical.
Thank you Emma.
I have good reasons to study and have learned a lot with you. About the end of the words that end in (ism)I had heard some people saying and I got surprised about the sound, beacause in Brazil words ended in (ismo)sounds like (izmu): Example : fanatísmo
Not much different of english.
Thanks Emma, got 80%.
thanks for the best explanation.
thanks a lot
Thanks, Emma. A positive aspect of this video is, now, I know how to properly pronounce the word “criticism”. Hehehe.
Yep! It’s difficult to pronounce this word. Well, at least you learned something from this video.
All the best with your English Tharcy.
To learn English with you has double benefit for me improvement of my vocabulary and solving of my listening problem.
Thanks a lot Emma.
Can I download your videos in order to watch them every time?
I learn something useful I will see the positive aspect
Of it in my everyday life.
Hi Emma, my question is not regard to this video. I have read your history and I have liked too much. Congratulations!!! In fact I would like to ask you if you know if there is a site on the internet like this to learning french also because I have thought very good the purpose from this site. sorry to bother you.
Yeah I got it! You got 8 correct out of 10.
thank you for the help.
You are a very good Teacher, Emma! Thank you!

thank you emma for your videos!! best teacher ever…
Good teacher! loved it!
Hi,Emma! Thank you! Very useful video. But I didn’t understand the question 3,about the word upside. We can use this word as well as other words in the category of advantages?? For example: An upside of living in Kyiv(I’m from Kyiv) is you get to visit many interesting places.Right?
My name is delwar hosan .I would be glad if someone wants to do practice in English with me. My skype name id sony.hasan5
