Another wonderful lesson. Thank you
Great lesson, thank you for sharing.
I love Stephanie and Daniel. More videos with them.
Thanks for providing such an informative video. I have been learning English for a decade, still learn a lot and find it very helpful after watching this.
What a impressive video, how lucky I am to see such an excellent teacher explaining, the lady's pronunciation is very clear, men's is simple and powerful. In short, clear, simple, they are simplifying the complex. God bless you.
Thank you for the video. Great video!! The content is very helpful in improving vocabulary and learning good expressions. The speaking pace and clarity of the teachers is commendable.
Excellent!!! I enjoy your videos every time!!! Thanks a lot ❤
Thank you for your lesson..
Thank you very much for the lesson.
Thanks for this video. The teachers are so interesting and they inspire me with their positive attitude.
I love the saying that work-life balance is very important and we only live one life.
I worked in Standard Chartered Bank in Hong Kong for my first job. My team worked 11-14 hours every day.
My senior sometimes said intimidating words to me when I left earlier.
I know that overtime working is still prevailing in that bank. We are all too weak to say out, at least I can say here.
Thanks for watching. We're glad you enjoy the lessons. Here are a few suggestions for your response:
1) 'I worked for Standard Chartered Bank...' not, 'in'.
2) 'We were all too weak...' not, 'are' if you are not currently working there.
3) '...to speak out,' not, 'say out'.
Hope this helps you!

Health is very important in our life. I eat a lot of healthy food, I make sure that myself stay off junk food, fried food and sugar drink. I usually get up early at 4:30, and then I'll take a shower. After that, I'll read books and do some yoga. I think those are good start for my whole day. I don't want to be a sedentary person, so I'm trying to keep my work-life balance.
Hi Danh. Thanks for watching and sharing your response! You used some excellent phrases and vocabulary. Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) 'I make sure that I stay off junk food...' not, 'myself'.
2) '...sugary drinks,' not, 'drink'.
Hope this helps you!
OMG! I CAN UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY THIS CLASS! I LOVE ENGLISH. I'M BRAZILIAN, BUT, I WISH TO BE IN LONDON SOME DAY!

Very good teacher's
Excellent topic .Thanks a lot .
Hi Mrs. Stephanie and Mr Daniel, I learn about some health vocabulary running and jogging.
Beside workouts and eating habit, I think work-life balance is a key factor for a good health. Even when I have too much work, I always try to solve all problems before 6 p.m and never bring work to home. I do not allow me to sit in front of screen for more than 2 hours without standing up at least for a few minutes. I usually be stressful after four or five months working without day off, so I often book for me and my family at least two long holidays each year to refresh ourselves.
Diana, thank you for sharing another great answer! Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) '...and eating habits,' not, 'habit'.
2) '...factor for good health,' not, 'a good health'.
3) '...never bring work home,' not, 'to home'.
Hope this helps you!

Great, Alberto! One tip: 'I have a balanced and dynamic life and this allows me...' or, 'As I have a balanced and dynamic life, this allows me to...' not, 'as I have a balanced and dynamic life and this allows me to...'.

@@shuyuandeng1115 May you write in English please?
Ahmet Gökçe Sorry, I didn’t mean to reply this, my pocked replied this for me.😬
I recently graduated from college. At the moment, I'm still figuring out what I'm going to with my life. So, I don't have much to do during the day and pitifully my routine got a bit sendentary. Looking for a bit of physical activity, my sister signed me up in a gym. I'm going every morning to work out, some days I lift weights and the others I do spinning. The good thing is that I don't need to lose weight because I'm not fat or something like that. Actually, I'd say that I'm in a good shape. My eating habits aren't too bad, I always try to get my five a day and I don't consume sugar or soda. Neverthless, I can't stay off of hambugers and my vice is chocolate, I'm such a sweet tooth that I can't resist anything sweet. But I know that I need to cut it down in order to have a good health. Back at my days of college, I didn't have a study-life balance. I used to stay up until 2:00 am or so, then wake up at 6:00 am. I was always stressed out and sleepy, I don't know whether it was because of this or not, but my hair fell out and I lost some of it. I know now that there's no need to put so much pressure on me. Studying or working musn't be all in our lives, there's still joy beyond that.
Thanks for your efforts .It is very helpful and enjoyable
Thanks for you I can understand. Thanks 😍
I love the voice of the man.
Thank you Teacher so much
I am very glad to join with you...!!! Thank you so much for this valuable lecture...!!
We're happy you enjoyed the lesson, Ashfakur!
Do you have a good work-life balance?
Yes, Absolutely, I had a work and I was very tired, I had to work 12 hours every day, but I was needed the money and I have too much goals, so I decided to stay there 'til I decided to quite, they we're very abbusive. I'm very looking forward to getting a new job by English.
What happens if you work too hard?
It's almost impossible to focus myself and I struggle to do all my tasks. I can management the stress and it was a very good skill that I acquired.
What can you do to make your work life balance healthier?
Plan my day homeworks and routine, prepare all a day before, work just 8 hours (i aspire to it), try to be free the weekends for My family and take my own time for me.
Thanks a million, it's very useful to improve my writing and learn new vocabulary 😊

Great, great lessons as usual. I can just say excellent and thank you for your big effort. The lifestyle is very important for everybody. Nowadays we have sedentary life style and more and more people are feeling bad and exhausted. It is not my "cup of tea" but what can I do? The tempo of our life is so fast and we must be adjustable for the modern way of life. I've just bought kettlebells and I will try to do some exercise. I know that will be strange to me but I gonna to try it. I definitely decided to start work out. I realized that I am really out of good shape. I must do something otherwise I will reach a 110kg.
My friend Lia who I work with told me that he trying to eat less junk food and drink less alcohol without any exercise. I am sober and do not like any alcohol, also I have 2022 resolution that I must do exercise and eat healthy food.
CHEERS Ivan

Thank you for the video its so useful.

1. Exercise and activity
I stick to an exercise routine. I run more than 5 km in the early morning three to four times a week. For the rest of the week, I do some HIITs at home. Also, to avoid being sedentary, I always try to stand up and move around my office every hour.
2. Diet
Actually, I don't need to lose or gain my weight due to being in good shape now, but I want to eat healthier. I always cook all my meals with fresh food as well as stay off junk food, sweet food. For me, eating is the most important problem to stay healthy.
3. Bad habits
I hate to say this but I used to be addicted to using cellphone, so I've been cutting down on it. As we know, this addiction is linked to some serious mental health risks. I force myself to go out for jogging or walking as well as to do more and more outdoor activities in my leisure time. I also use some apps to focus on working more effectively. It's been nearly a year, now I can strongly assert that I don't waste my time due to using phone too much.
4. Work-life balance
I always use bullet journals to plan my life and build a fixed routine. By updating it daily, I learn how to get rid of things that are distracting me and add things I care about. Thanks to it I have more time for myself to do outdoor activities such as climbing mountains, fishing, or cycling on the weekend. The balance between work and life helps me stay mentally and physically healthy.
Thanks for your lessons. Love you!
Hong, thank you for sharing! Here are some corrections for you:
1) '...stay off junk food and sweet food,' not, '...junk food, sweet food'.
2) '...eating is the most important aspect of staying healthy,' not, '...the. most important problem to stay healthy'.
3) '...addicted to using my cell phone,' not, '...addicted to using cellphone'.
Hope this helps you!
Oxford Online English thanks. I do appreciate your help 😄
I enjoy doing exercises sometimes, but I'm not a fitness enthusiast. I mostly work out at home. Every morning, I run around my neighborhood, take some brisk walks, skip for 30 minutes or spend 15 minutes walking up and down the stairs to stay active and have a well-proportioned body. To avoid a sedentary lifestyle, I usually go for hitting the gym to run on treadmills and do other physical activities to maintain both physical and mental health. I'm trying to eat more healthily after reading a wide range of articles on fitness, diet and nutrition on the Internet. I've started reducing the amount of sugar when cooking dishes or making fruit and vegetable smoothies. I now feel very lucky that I'm not tempted by sweet food and desserts anymore. I'm also trying to stay off fried food because I was diagnosed with acute tonsillitis a couple of months ago. I used to have a habit of sleeping in on weekends, and I found it hard to break this bad habit. I went to the hospital for medical check-ups, and one of the Chinese medicine doctors advised me not to sleep more than 8 hours per day. I've totally changed my sleeping habit. I no longer suffer from a feeling of tiredness and irritation when I get up in the mornings. When I started my job as an English teacher a few years ago, I was really highly strung all the time. I had to do a lot of things at the same time, ranging from preparing lessons and solving arising problems in the classroom. I didn't seem to have enough time to spend with my loved ones. I reckon that work-life balance is really important, and I'm making every effort to create a better work-life balance for myself.
Hi Vy, thank you for watching and sharing! You wrote a fantastic response, great usage of the vocabulary and phrases! One tip:
'...I usually hit the gym,' not, 'go for hitting'.
Hope this helps you!

Today I have a healthy lifestyle. Every morning I go for walks and twice a week I do pilates. I love doing pilates. I have been doing pilates since 2012. It is important to me, because I have problem with my lower back. Work out is very important to your life. You should have a daily exercise routine and if you work hard , try to set an hour a day to work out.
Hi Margarete. Thanks for sharing your response with us. Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) '...I have a problem with...' not, 'have problem.'
2) 'Working out is...' not, 'Work out is...'
3) '...is very important for your life,' not, 'to.'
Hope this helps you!

Very useful. 🙏
Excelent video, from Chile a guys.
i'm from myanmar and my town still have to obey 'stay home rule'. I have been in my home for 7 months and i rarely go outside. At first 3months, my daily life had been really sedentary. I was in front of my computer almost all day. I didn't do exercises too and i ate too much. As a result, i became flabby and chubby. Now i play batminton at the evening and i'm proud because i can stick to it.
Thanks for watching and sharing! Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) '...and my town still has to obey...' not, 'have'.
2) '...obey the 'stay home rule'...' not, '...obey 'stay home rule'...'.
