English In My Head - Real Thoughts, Real Words, Real English

0:00 Come with me.

0:02 Step inside my mind and learn English by listening to my inner thoughts.

0:18 [music] Oh, what a long day.

0:21 I'm just going to have a sit down.

0:24 Oh, I'm so tired.

0:26 Maybe I should have a nap.

0:29 Oh, I can barely focus.

0:32 [snorts] Maybe a nap would be a good idea.

0:37 I'm even yawning.

0:38 Oh, goodness me.

0:41 I know.

0:41 I'll see what's happening in the world.

0:43 I'll check my phone.

0:45 Facial recognition.

0:47 Swipe to unlock.

0:48 Oh, a notification from my GP.

0:53 A parcel is due to be delivered today.

0:56 Was that something being pushed through my letter box?

1:01 Mommy post.

1:02 Oh, my son is such a good boy.

1:05 He's bringing me the post.

1:07 Here you go, mommy.

1:09 P.

1:09 Oh, thank you.

1:11 Thanks, darling.

1:12 He's a good boy.

1:14 Now, what could this be?

1:17 Let me open this up.

1:21 What's this?

1:22 A prepaid envelope from Heart Solutions.

1:26 Ah, this must be from my GP.

1:31 Let's empty out the contents and see what we've got.

1:37 What's this?

1:38 Uh, okay.

1:39 This is a form with my details telling me that I should

1:46 note down any symptoms I experience while wearing this 24hour ECG device.

1:52 Right, I can do that.

1:54 No problem.

1:55 Once the thing is on, what do we have?

1:59 This must be the device.

2:02 Seems quite basic.

2:04 This is an alcohol wipe for sterilizing my skin.

2:09 a swab for drying my skin and instructions.

2:13 A leaflet to tell me what to do.

2:16 I won't need that.

2:18 I'll just figure it out.

2:20 And these must be the electrodes with the little studs on.

2:25 Three of those.

2:26 Fantastic.

2:26 So, the question is, do I do it now or later?

2:30 I can do it now.

2:32 I had a shower this morning.

2:35 So I guess these electrodes clip onto these arms.

2:42 Yep.

2:43 So three electrodes attached to these three arms on the main device.

2:51 Well, that was pretty simple.

2:53 Now I will use the alcohol wipe to clean my skin.

2:58 Let me open this.

3:00 I'll tear the top and remove the wipe.

3:05 I will unfold it.

3:07 It's tiny.

3:09 Okay, let me clean my skin.

3:12 I wipe the area where I'm going to place

3:16 the monitor and pop this wipe in the bin.

3:20 Oh, there's not a bin here.

3:22 I will just place it over here for now.

3:26 Now I will remove the plastic backing to reveal the adhesive side.

3:33 I just peel these off.

3:37 That's quite simple.

3:38 Oh, I say it's simple.

3:40 There we go.

3:42 And now it's ready to stick on.

3:47 I didn't need my swab to dry my skin.

3:50 That's stuck on nicely.

3:52 Perfect.

3:53 I'll turn it on.

3:54 Oh, press the button again.

3:57 Oh, is it on?

3:58 I don't know.

3:59 Um, how do I know if it's working?

4:03 Okay, maybe I should check the instructions.

4:06 Let's have a look.

4:07 Uh, getting started.

4:10 Oh, no.

4:11 For women, place the device so the lower arms are placed just below the breasts.

4:20 I don't think I did that.

4:23 Let me check.

4:24 Oh no, it's upside down.

4:27 What do I do?

4:29 Oh, I shouldn't have rushed it.

4:33 Maybe I could remove it and try to stick it back on.

4:40 Ow.

4:40 [screaming] Oh, that really hurts.

4:43 Oh, it's like ripping off a plaster.

4:46 Oh, this is really tricky.

4:49 Ow.

4:49 I hope they're still sticky.

4:52 Oh, that was painful.

4:57 Well, that serves me right for not checking the instructions first.

5:06 Hello.

5:06 Hi.

5:06 Hi.

5:07 Can you help me with something?

5:10 Yeah.

5:10 What's the matter?

5:12 Yeah, I can't find my keys.

5:14 I think I left them at home.

5:16 Would you have a look for them?

5:17 Yes, of course.

5:18 Where do you think you left them?

5:21 Hm.

5:21 Maybe in the kitchen.

5:23 Okay, I'm in the kitchen.
