Bob the Canadian: 我想帮助大家学习英语词汇“face-to-face”。“face-to-face”的意思是双方在同一个房间,同一个地点,并非线上会议。例如,如果我和老板有意见分歧,我可能会在电话里说,或许我们面对面谈会更好。 “face-to-face”交流能更好地解读对方的肢体语言和情绪,而线上交流有时会比较困难。所以,“face-to-face”指的是双方在同一个房间,处于同一个物理位置进行交流。 另一个我想教大家的词是“in person”,意思和“face-to-face”完全一样。如果我和老板在电话里谈加薪,他说不太确定,我可能会说,我们能不能当面谈谈?今天晚点我能去你办公室吗?我们能不能当面谈谈?因为那样我会更舒服些。 总而言之,“face-to-face”和“in person”都指双方在同一地点,而非线上交流,你能看到对方的脸。这表示你们并非通过网络、电话或信息系统交流,而是在同一个房间,同一个地方。

Read along to practice your English and to learn the English terms FACE-TO-FACE and IN PERSON

In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English term face to face. When you meet someone face to face, it means that you're in the same room, you're in the same spot. It's not the same as meeting them online. If I was talking to my boss and I had a complaint, maybe I'm talking to my boss on the phone, I might say, hey, maybe this would be better if we do it face to face. Can you hear that loud bird? It's definitely spring here. Maybe it's better if we meet face to face. When you talk to someone face to face, you can read their facial expressions and you can read, you know, their body language and what they're actually thinking. But sometimes online it's a little hard. So face to face means that you are talking to the person in the same room like you're physically in the same spot.WANT FREE ENGLISH LESSONS?

If I was talking to my boss and I was was talking on the phone and said, hey, I really want a raise, I don't think I get paid enough. And my boss was like, I don't know, I might say, hey, can we talk about this in person? Can I come to your office later today? And can we talk in person? Because I would just be more comfortable doing that.So to review, when you meet someone face to face, when you talk to someone face to face, it means they're right in front of you. You can see their face. And when you meet someone in person or you talk to someone in person, it means you're not online, you're not on the phone, you're not just doing it via a messaging system. You're actually in the same place in the same room.But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. Sorry. The birds. It's beautiful, but it's a little bit annoying. It's not quite as loud now. This comment is from Tacagero. Mr. Bob told us that he is not going to read the full comment, but he did. Politicians often do what they do not mention to do. So a little. I'm getting called out a little bit here. This made me laugh, by the way. And I said, haha, you got me. I did do the opposite of what I said, politics here I come.So in the last lesson I said, oh, by the way, thanks Tacagero for that comment. In the last lesson I said the comment was too long. I'm not going to read the whole thing. And then I did read the whole thing. So, yes, maybe the world of politics is for me, maybe I am someone who can not tell the whole truth all the time. Sorry, I'm making it sound like all politicians are bad. They're not all bad. Some I think are very, very nice.Hey, I was gonna show you that there are daffodils. This has become a yearly routine, I think, on this channel. These are a little late this year. We're actually surprised because normally daffodils would be blooming already, like two weeks ago. Oh, and I think there's a little ladybug on there as well. I think I just put a shadow on it. But yeah, the daffodils are blooming. It's actually quite nice out here.But we... I would say the growing season is a little bit behind. Like it's April 24th today. The trees are just starting to bud out. And I think last year they were already quite... They were like leafed out quite a bit already. If you're wondering what this is, we're just killing off the weeds in this area so that we can plant some things. I think we might actually put some vegetables in this year. Some of you have asked before if we grow vegetables. I think my son might try to grow some vegetables. So we'll see how that goes. But I can't wait for the leaves t
