In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase picture this. This is a phrase we say before we're going to describe something to someone. And when we want them to picture it in their minds, we want them to imagine they can see what we're describing to them. So I could say to you picture this, you're in Canada, you're walking along the shore of a lake. There's beautiful sand under your feet as you walk along the beach. Because I said picture this, it means I want you to try, and see all of the things that I'm describing in your mind as I'm saying them. By the way, you should come to Canada, and you should walk along a beach somewhere on one of our shores, I think you'd really, really enjoy it. So, but if I was telling you about it, I would start by saying picture this before I described it.WANT FREE ENGLISH LESSONS?

This is a phrase that we use to describe, sometimes a person who is no longer around. Here's a good example. Let's say that my cousin was dating someone, and then they broke up. If someone said, where's your girlfriend? He might say, oh, she's out of the picture. Or if I said to my uncle and aunt, hey, where's Joe's girlfriend, I haven't seen her lately. They could say, oh, she's out of the picture. That simply means that they're no longer dating, and you probably won't see her around anymore.Anyways, to review, when you say picture this, you say this before you describe something, so that people know they should try and picture it in their minds. And when you say someone is out of the picture, it means that they're no longer around, that you won't be seeing them. We often use this in a situation where people are dating, and then they break up. We say, oh no, he's out of the picture. You won't see him at family reunions anymore.But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Suun, I saw you wore a T-shirt, but another YouTuber wore a down jacket in Canada. And my response, it's a big country. If you go far enough north, it's still pretty cold.And it also depends on the time of day. When I'm out in the middle of the day like right now, it is 9:15 in the morning. It's a little bit chilly still. I'm actually a little bit cold, even though I'm wearing a short sleeve shirt. But if you were in Ottawa, or if you were in one of our Northern cities like Edmonton, Alberta, it's probably even colder, and you would probably be wearing a jacket. So it depends what part of the country you're in at this time of year.Hey, I'm out here at one of our local soccer fields. Wow, the sun is really bright today. I was going to make this video here. I was a little worried, because they're mowing the lawn right now. So it's a little bit loud. I'm not sure if you can see them or hear them. But this is where I used to play soccer a long time ago when I was younger, when I was in my early 20s, I was a soccer player for a few years.Support the show
