squishy jelly like candy very very
sugary and they usually have some kind
of fruit flavor you can find the regular
jellybeans which are sweet and delicious

from the southern part of America

hi everybody welcome back to top words
my name is Alisha and today we're going
to be talking about ten breakup lines
these are lines that you can use when
you want to end a romantic relationship
Wow let's go I need my space I need my
space I need my space so if you feel the
other person is maybe just always with
you always looking for time or just
bothering you whatever doesn't matter
you don't want to spend time with that
person anymore you can say I need my
space how do you want to go to the
movies with me this weekend it was so
much fun to see you yesterday and we can
do something tomorrow and then we can go
to the movies together too don't you
think it'll be great actually I need my
space I need to focus on my career I
need to focus on my career ooh
so maybe you're really really busy with
work or you're just looking for an
excuse to break up with the person to
break up with someone you can say I'm
really sorry but right now I need to
focus on my career I think we need a
break I think we need a break this is
after you've been seeing someone for
some time and you decide that maybe
they're not the right person for you you
can say I think we need a break be
careful though this phrase sounds like
there's a
chance you may get back together in the
future if you don't feel that there's a
chance you'll be continuing to see this
person maybe choose a different line to
break up with them I think we're moving
too fast this is an expression you might
use towards the beginning of a
relationship maybe for example you meet
someone and then you start dating them
and and then a month later they're like
let's move in together and then three
months later it's like oh let's get
married or whatever the pace of the
relationship seems too fast you can say
I think we're moving too fast so if you
say this phrase maybe it doesn't mean
that you want to break up but just this
pace is too fast for me let's slow down
I'm just not ready for this kind of
relationship I'm just not ready for this
kind of relationship this could have
many different meanings
maybe the relationship is very serious
and you're not looking for a serious
relationship you can say I'm not ready
for this kind of relationship saying I'm
not ready sounds like it's me it's my
problem I'm not ready for this kind of
relationship it's not you it's me it's
not you it's me there's no problem with
you rather I have a problem maybe
they're just struggling with some things
that they're not mmm they don't want to
bring into a relationship or maybe
they're just trying to be polite maybe
it is you but the other person is trying
to be kind so you can say it's not you
it's me
let's just be friends let's just be
friends you've been in a relationship
with someone for a while and you decide
maybe it's better if we don't date each
other but I still like this person so
let's just be friends
We Need to Talk oh no we need to talk
the dreaded we need to talk if someone
says we need to talk in that tone we
need to talk or if you get like a text
message that says we need to talk it's
never we need to talk I want to get a
puppy it's never a happy thing if you
see if you hear We Need to Talk
it's oh no something is bad in my
relationship and I'm about to hear about
it dun dun dun
so you can follow We Need to Talk with
an actual issue that you need to discuss
about your relationship or it can mean
the end of the
relationship you want to talk about
ending the relationship we should start
seeing other people the next breakup
line is we should start seeing other
people
ouch means I don't want to see you
anymore at one point about this when we
are in a relationship with someone there
are a couple of different verbs that we
use we use the verb seeing to see
someone and to date to go out with those
are a few so in this expression we see
we should start seeing other people so
it doesn't mean just like like stand
across the room no I see another person
I see you know it means date it means be
in a relationship with we use the verb
to see for that one of the things that
is said about this phrase is that if
someone uses the phrase we should start
seeing other people there's a good
chance that person is already seeing
someone else
ouch ouch you deserve better the next
phrase is you deserve better
oh so if someone says to you you deserve
better I think we should end the
relationship you deserve better it means
that the person feels they are not good
enough they're not enough for you
and so they think you should find
someone better than the person saying
the phrase again this could be a sincere
expression or it could just be a very
polite and kind way to end a
relationship with someone hi everybody
and welcome back to top words my name is
Alisha and today we're going to be
talking about ten words you can use to
talk about music so let's go concert the
first word for talking about music is
concert concert is a live show concert
is yeah the performance is happening in
front of your eyes so concerts are
really popular worldwide I think
depending on where you live you might
hear them called live shows but usually
in American English we just say concert
a concert so in a sentence I'm going to
a concert this weekend to see in concert
the next expression is the verb we use
for a live show so the next expression
is to see in a concert or to see in
concert so we use
the artist's name along with this phrase
so for example I'm going to see Coldplay
in concert I'm going to see Adele in
concert so you use I'm going to see
artist name in concert or in a concert
Marseille in concert or in a concert
both are okay so in a different sentence
I'm going to see my favorite band in
concert meaning live who do I want to
see in concert I want to see Michael
Jackson in concert yeah I would have
loved to see him in concert he's my
favorite to listen to music to listen to
artist the next word or the next phrase
is to listen to Plus music or to listen
to an artist so you can use this verb
with the type of music or with the
specific artist or band or group that
you like so I like to listen to rock
music I like to listen to pop music
whatever another sentence is I like
listening to Beyonce I like yes so you
can use to listen to or listening to
both are fine here I like listening to
funk it's fine I like listening to funky
artists is fine I like listening to
Queens of the Stone Age it's fine all of
these are great who do you listen to
I listen to to write a song to write
music the next expression is to write a
song or to write music so if you want to
make music yourself you can say write a
song which just means one song maybe
three or four minutes usually in popular
music or to write music in general so
you can use both of these expressions
song is more specific music is more
general so in a sentence my friends
started writing songs recently or in a
different sentence writing music is
really fun track the next expression is
track track so we can use song yes but
for example when you look at an album
like on iTunes or maybe like a CD for
example each
each song is assigned a number that's
the track number so we can say I like
track number 3 or track 3 we use track
to talk about a song so you can say this
is a good song or this is a good track
both are ok to use song and track are
both fine so in a sentence I really like
that track from his album beat the next
word is beat so the beat is sort of the
feeling of a song that usually it's easy
to hear because there's like a bass drum
or there's some kind of heavy feeling it
gives you the sense of rhythm of a song
so in a sentence we would say like song
should have a catchy beat or that that
that song has a really catchy beat or I
like the beat of that song tempo so
tempo the next word is tempo tempo means
the pace of a song how fast or how slow
a song goes so you can have songs with a
fast tempo or with a slow tempo or
somewhere in between so you can change
the tempo of a song and maybe change the
feeling in a sentence tracks with a slow
tempo are nice on quiet evenings upbeat
the next word is up beat so this word
uses beat which we talked about before
but up beat this is an adjective that we
use for something maybe it's a faster
tempo song maybe it sounds kind of
positive or a cheerful a little bit
happy so an upbeat track or an upbeat
song sounds maybe it has it has a good
positive feeling about it or a good
positive vibe something like that so in
a sentence this song is really upbeat
upbeat we can use up beat for people to
like my best friend is really upbeat
something positive or happy down tempo
next we'll go to maybe the opposite of
upbeat the next word is down tempo tempo
means pace and down meaning like
decreased or slower so a down tempo song
has a slow tempo it's more relaxed yeah
maybe it's good for
just kind of hanging out or it's a
little bit slow or maybe you hear this
at a restaurant or a cafe
perhaps a downtempo song so in a
sentence
I like downtempo music genre the next
word is a great pronunciation point for
many students its genre genre so not
John do or Jenn ray I don't know but
genre is the correct pronunciation of
this word genre means the type of music
you can use genre to talk about movies
as well books too but it means the type
of something so type of maybe art you
could consider or type of creativity so
genre into in music is for example rock
pop funk house old disco heavy metal
classical country rap hip-hop blues all
these are genres of music so there types
of music you can say what type of music
do you like or what genre of music do
you listen to so in a sentence I listen
to lots of different genres of music hi
everybody and welcome back to top words
my name is Alisha and today we're gonna
talk about ten words for talking about
sleep let's go to wake up the first word
is to wake up to wake up is to open your
eyes probably in your bed or the place
where you are sleeping to wake up is to
to become conscious to become awake
every day you wake up presumably
hopefully in a sentence I woke up three
times last night to get up to get out of
bed all right the next word is to get up
or to get out of bed so that means to
physically move your body from your bed
out of bed to stand up from your bed to
get out of your bed we say to get up or
to get out of bed in a sentence I got up
at 8 o'clock this morning
to snooze the next word is to snooze so
we have to snooze and alarm and also to
snooze
so to snooze means to take a short sleep
to have a short sleeping time or to
snooze and alarm is when your alarm goes
off in the morning you have a button
most alarm clocks have some button you
can press so the alarm will turn on
again in like you know 5 or 10 minutes
or something
so to snooze an alarm is to like to ask
your alarm to wake you up again a few
minutes later that's to snooze so we
have to snooze an alarm and to snooze
meaning like a short light sleep in a
sentence
I always snooze my alarm at least once
that is usually true to oversleep the
next word is to oversleep to oversleep
means to sleep too much or to sleep late
actually no it doesn't mean to sleep
late to sleep late means just to sleep
until a late time in the day oversleep
means sleeping beyond the time you
wanted to get up so for example if my
alarm is set for 8 o'clock but I wake up
at 9 o'clock I overslept I slept beyond
my wake-up time so we can use oversleep
to talk about times when you sleep too
much you sleep more than your body needs
you to so maybe your body needs
depending on the person like six to nine
hours or so but if you sleep like 14
hours we can say that's over sleeping
you're sleeping too much hmm that's the
nuance here in a sentence I overslept on
my first day of work
nap the next word is nap nap is a short
sleep so a nap is maybe 30 minutes one
hour just a short sleep a short rest so
a lot of people will take a nap in the
afternoon for example or maybe children
actually take naps for example in
preschool or when they're very very
young they have a an afternoon nap a
short sleep like hmm yeah just a like
our or so I imagine it ascendance I love
naps actually I do like naps I don't
like naps because when I take a nap
it becomes asleep it's always like I
wake up four hours later and I'm like
okay well I've destroyed my sleep
schedule dream the next word is dream
dreams so dreams are those those visions
those images you see those experiences
it seems like you have when you are
asleep in a sentence I always have weird
dreams nightmare so the next word is
nightmare nightmare is a word which
means bad dream or scary dream negative
dream so children maybe have nightmares
a lot they wake up crying or they're
really upset by nightmares monsters
terrifying things happening and so on
in a sentence do you ever have
nightmares to go to bed the next word is
to go to bed so before we talked about
to get up or to get out of bed this is
the opposite to go to bed means to get
in your bed - to try to go to sleep to
go to bed in a sentence I usually go to
bed fairly late to hit the hay to hit
the sack
the next expression is kind of ass I
don't know a slang expression we have to
hit the hay and to hit the sack these
both mean to go to bed they both mean to
try to fall asleep but we just use them
in more casual situations the image here
of hitch the hay is with your body
hitting hay like laying down in hay I
believe historically because hay was
used to stuff things that people slept
on so that's why we have this expression
to hit the hay with your body
same thing for to hit the sack so a sack
full of something soft to sleep on is
where this expression comes from in a
sentence I think I'm gonna hit the hay
to fall asleep the next
expression it is to fall asleep to fall
asleep you're in bed and you finally you
lose consciousness you you stop being
aware you are asleep in that moment we
say you fall asleep in a sentence it
takes me a long time to fall asleep
