Description

Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases A NICE SET OF WHEELS and ALL SETIn this English lesson I wanted to help you learn the English phrase “a nice set of wheels”. Sometimes we even say “a new set of wheels”, and this simply means a car or another type of vehicle. Sometimes you drive a car and eventually you need to buy a new one, and so you might say to someone, I need a new set of wheels. You can see I'm in front of a car dealership. I thought this would be a great place to teach this phrase. You might say to someone, I need a new set of wheels, and then you might go buy that new car. And then when your friend sees it, they might say, Oh, that is a nice set of wheels. So again, we often almost always use the word nice or new with this phrase. Either you need to get a new set of wheels or someone sees the car you bought and says, Wow, nice set of wheels.WANT FREE ENGLISH LESSONS?

When you're all set, it simply means you're ready. This morning, I was getting ready to bring one of my kids to work, and so I got my camera and I got my phrases and I got my comment. And then when my kids said, Are you ready to go? I said, I'm all set. This simply means that I was ready. I had everything I needed in order to leave the house and be able to do an English lesson out here in front of this car dealership.So to review, here we go. “A nice set of wheels” or “a new set of wheels” refers to a car or other vehicle, a van or truck that's really nice. Jen And I hope that our van lasts a long time. We hope that both our vans last a long time because we're not ready to buy another set of wheels anytime soon. And the phrase “all set” simply means to be ready. It's important in the morning that you are all set before you leave for school or before you leave for work. It's a nice feeling when you're all set and you're prepared and ready to do something.But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Mohamed. You have a good yard to start beekeeping. Why don't you do that? It is just a suggestion. And my response? There are only so many things that we have time for in a day. Maybe someday if one of our kids wants to help farm with us when they are older, they can take up beekeeping.So yeah, we do have a nice property for beekeeping. If you think about it, there are lots of flowers on our property, so that's one cool thing. The other thing is there's lots of room for the bees to roam, so they would certainly have a great home. But again, there's only so much you can do in a day. There's only so much time in the day and at the end of the day we don't have enough time to have bees. So beekeeping is something that maybe one of our kids will do in the future.So let me give you a better view here. This is what we call a car dealership in Canada. I usually don't buy my cars from a car dealership. Usually you come to a car dealership if you want to buy a brand new car. And as you know, I usually buy used cars. I usually buy cars used from one of my local mechanics. They usually have a few cars for sale in front of the garage where they fix cars. But I was driving by this the other day and I thought this would be a great place to make an English lesson about the phrase a nice set of wheels. So there's definitely a lot of really nice cars in this parking lot.I think this car here oh, this is actually a used car. It's a 2016. I think this car here would be a little small for Jen and I. I think we always we always buy vehicles that will hold all of our kids. It's important, I think, tSupport the show
