Hi, everyone. In this lesson we're going to look at the geography of the United Kingdom

and we're also going to look at some culture related to all the different terms we use

to describe Great Britain, England... All these different words, when do we use them?

So we're going to break it down and look at that.

Let's start with the name. The official name is United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern

Ireland, but often we just say "UK" because it's such a long country name, so we just

say UK. I drew a map. My map is not to scale. And I tried my best, but it was hard to do

it with the pens on the board, so we're going to show you a correct map. We've got England,

Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. And the dotted line shows where Northern Ireland

ends. This part is part of the United Kingdom; this part is not. More on that later.

So, the UK is a sovereign state or we could say a sovereign country. This means that they

make all their own laws, and they govern themselves. So, the UK is a sovereign state or a sovereign

country. But the reason that's confusing is that we... When we're talking or when we're

describing a place in the world, we talk about Scotland, England, Wales, and Ireland as being

countries. So, you think: "Is...? If the UK is a country, are Scotland, England, Wales,

and Ireland also a country?" Well, they are, but they don't make their own laws. So, we

have a word for it and we can call them "constituent countries". We can say England is a constituent

country of the United Kingdom. We can say Scotland is a constituent country of the United

Kingdom, etc. Okay.

Now it gets more confusing because when we're talking about the UK, we can say it's made

up of those countries - Scotland, England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. We can also say

it's made up of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Great Britain is this land mass,

this island shape, here; and Northern Ireland is part of the land mass, the island of Ireland.

So, if we put this bit and this bit together, we get the United Kingdom.

Great Britain has three constituent countries. Remember, this is Great Britain, Scotland,

England, and Wales make up Great Britain. Britain... Now we're getting smaller. This

is Britain, England, and Wales. So, I can say: "I'm from Britain", because I'm from...

I was born about here in London, so I can say: "I'm from Britain".

Now, we have another term called "The British Isles". The British Isles is a geographic

term, so we use it to describe a place on the map. And the British Isles would include

everything we see here. Actually, perhaps except these islands. These islands are called

Jersey and Guernsey, and they're closer to France. But the British Isles could describe

everything here in a geographic sense. And I wasn't able to draw all the islands, but

there's actually over 6,000 islands up in Scotland, some down here as well. So, many,

many islands.

But the trouble with that term, to say the British Isles is that some people in Ireland

don't like that term to describe... To include them because it makes it sound like Ireland,

it's British, even though Ireland is independent. Ireland is a sovereign country by itself.

So some people object to calling this the British Isles.

If you do object to calling it the British Isles, you can say the North Atlantic-I can

never say this word-Archipelago. Archipelago. And this means, like, collection of islands.

And the place in the world is in the North Atlantic. Right.

So, now, already mentioned it a bit, but the Republic of Ireland... The Republic of Ireland

is not part of the United Kingdom, and it is a sovereign state. So, Ireland, they make

their own laws there, they have their own government. They're a completely separate

country and a separate state to the United Kingdom.

Next, it's important to point out that England is not the same as saying the UK or Great

Britain, because sometimes people can put the idea together in their head that England

represents all of it. Perhaps because the government is in London, people might think:

"Oh, England. You can say England to mean all the countries, but it's not correct to

say that."

Also, something I want to say about Isle of Man - this is the Isle of Man; and about the

Bailiwicks of Jersey and Guernsey, which are down here. So, these islands are not part

of the United Kingdom, but we have the same monarch at the moment - that's the queen,

so we have the same queen as them, but they're not part of the UK, and they can make up their

own laws and they can govern themselves. And the laws are different, so they run themselves

one way; and in the Isle of Man, they run themselves in another way. So, I think that

in the United Kingdom we've got one of the most complicated ways to describe our geography.

When we come next, we're going to look at the more cultural differences between the

different parts of the United Kingdom.

I want to add a note that this... I'm filming this in 2017, so things I'm talking about

here could change, and that depends on things, like: "Does Scotland want to have its own

independence from the United Kingdom? And if they have a referendum, if they vote, would

they want to leave?" So, at the time of making the video, this is how things are in the UK,

and I'm going to look at what the countries of the UK share; and after, what's different

about all of them.

So, starting here, everybody born in one of the countries of the UK gets a passport that's

exactly the same; same colour, and on the passport, it says: "British Citizen". Now,

I'm English and my passport is a burgundy colour, and says "British Citizen". But I

found out that if you're Welsh or you're Scottish, you might like to buy an unofficial cover

for your British passport, so that it looks like you've got a Welsh passport. Now, it

wouldn't be accepted when you go to present your passport, but perhaps that would... You

would like... You'd like that idea of having a separate passport, so you can purchase such

things on the internet, if that's what you're after.

Next, we have the same official and national language, which is of course English, and

I'm speaking now in English to you. We have the same government, and the government is

in Westminster, in London; the Houses of Parliament. So, where the laws are made in Westminster,

they are sovereign over all the laws made in... Okay, I was going to mention it later,

but Scotland and... There are some devolved governments in the countries of the UK, in

Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, so they can make some laws about some issues

for themselves, but even... Even though they have their own government, the government

in Westminster in London, is sovereign. So, what they say has the most power over the

other government. Okay?

We share the same monarch. At the moment, that's Queen Elizabeth II. We share the same

flag, which is the Union Jack flag. We use the same money, which is... We use the same

currency, which is the Great British Pound Sterling. We share the same National anthem,

which is: "God Save The Queen."

And in the Olympics, everybody in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland can

compete under Team Great Britain, if they choose. Now, this is an unusual choice of

name for the team of the Olympics, because if you remember, Great Britain doesn't include

Northern Ireland. So, where do Northern Ireland compete in the Olympics? Well, they can choose

to be part of team Great Britain, or they can choose to be in Team Ireland, if they

want. So, they get a choice.

What's different between the countries of the UK now? So, we share the same currency-Great

British Pound Sterling-but if you go to Scotland or Northern Ireland (I forgot to write, there

- Northern Ireland) they have different bank notes. So, their money actually looks different

or some of their money. In Scotland, you will often still see English money.

If you come down from Scotland with your Scottish money and try and buy something in a pub or

a fish and chip shop in England, you will be looked at very suspiciously with your Scottish

money, and people will be checking it, holding it up, and they won't want to accept your

Scottish money here. It is legal to accept it, but it's not something that we see that

often in England, so be prepared for some suspicious looks, if you want to pay with

the Scottish money.

What's different also is... Okay, we all speak English, but the dialects can be so different

that when... If you're speaking to somebody up in Scotland or you're speaking to Northern...

Someone in Northern Ireland or Wales even, they can sound so different, it's like a different

dialect of English. But in some cases it's also... In some cases it's also different

language. If you go to Wales, many people in Wales speak Welsh, and things like their

road signs in Wales are in two languages at the same time. They have two official languages;

they have... In Wales, they have Welsh and they also have English. In Northern Ireland,

a percentage of the people will speak Gaelic.

Now, they're... I'm not going to talk about the cultural differences, but I will say that

there is a sense of a different culture or a different identity that people have in the

different countries of the United Kingdom. So, an English person considers themselves

to have a different culture to a Scottish person, and the Scottish person feels different

to a Welsh person. And, again, they feel different to a Northern Irish person. So, although everybody

has the same passport that says "British Citizen", there are differences between the country

that people are aware of and are often proud of the differences between their countries

also.

The countries of the United Kingdom have their individual flags, which you may see at things,

like, football competitions. And together, when you put these flags on top of each other,

they make up the Union Jack flag - that famous flag that you're used to saying. However,

I must add something, here. It's not all the countries. It's an old flag, so what it represents

is the countries a long time ago. And that was when England, Scotland, and Ireland were

in a union, and that's what the Union Jack represents. You might ask: "Well, why isn't

Wales in there?" That's because at that time, Wales wasn't considered an independent country;

it was just part of England back in those times.

And you might also say: "Well, why don't we change the national...? The Union Jack, and

put a Welsh dragon on it or why don't we change it because it includes the whole of Ireland?"

That's a good question. Many people argue about such things. And perhaps because the

Union Jack is such a well-known symbol and many people... Even people not from the UK

would like to buy souvenirs and t-shirts with the Union Jack on. Perhaps for those reasons

people don't... The government doesn't think about changing it. That's what I think. Let

me know what you think in the comments.

Moving on to national anthems: "God Save The Queen" is for everyone; everybody in the UK

can sing that as their national anthem. However, the Welsh also have a Welsh national anthem

which they may prefer to sing. This is in the Welsh language: "Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau".

I have no idea how to pronounce it in Welsh, but that's theirs. Scottish people do not

have their own official national anthem; yet, they do have an unofficial one, which is "Scotland

the Brave". England and Northern Ireland do not have their own separate, individual national

anthems, either official or unofficial they don't have. Also, all these countries have

their own football teams, and they compete as themselves in the big football competitions.

So, considering what's... What countries share and what's different, I want to talk lastly

about various questions of identity about: What does it mean to be an English person,

or a Scottish person, versus a British person? And one way to look at that is to look at

the data of the 2011... 2011 census. This is something that happens every 10 years where

the government asks people lots of questions, and they collect information to see: "How...?

How are people changing? How do they live their lives differently?" And some of the

questions in the census ask people about their identity, so they will ask them: "Do you feel

English or do you feel more British?" So, here are the statistics from that census.

Census.

Back then in 2011, 60% of English people said they consider themselves to be English only.

So, these people do not consider themselves British. In their minds they don't have so

much to do with Scotland, or Wales, or Northern Ireland. Yeah, they're in the UK, but they

don't consider themselves British, as if we're all together in a group. It's like English

first. 62% of Scottish people consider themselves to be Scottish only. So, that's slightly more

than in England.

And this is an interesting thing to think about because there are people in Scotland

who wish for their own independence from the United Kingdom. So they would like to separate

from the United Kingdom, and many of them would like to join the European Union on their

own, and not be part of the United Kingdom. So a slightly high... We could... We could

say, if we... If we compare the percentages, there, that in Scotland people are slightly

more... What would you say? Would it be patriotic - love of their own country, or nationalistic

- loving their Scotla-...? Their country first before the United Kingdom? And 58% of Welsh

people consider themselves Welsh only.

Now, that's kind of a surprise to me because in my life experiences, those times when I

have met Welsh people... Okay, I'm making it sound like a rare thing. I've met many

Welsh people, but in my experience they tend to mention Wales a lot, and the Welsh language,

and what it's like in Wales and how Wales is different. So I would have thought, based

on my experience, that there would be more people in Wales who consider themselves only

Welsh or Welsh first.

So, now I want to mention the difference between who's... Who's saying they're British and

who's saying they're not British. So, 14%... Only 14% of white British ethnicity say that

they're British. Okay? So I'll break that down. Someone who lives in England, Scotland,

Wales, or Northern Island who looks white and has... As far as I know, haven't come

from somewhere else, only 14% of those people would say that they're British. They would

put their own English or Scottish or Welsh first; whereas the younger generation, the

younger people of today and more people who live in cities where it's a lot more diverse

as people who've immigrated from other countries, and their parents before them or grandparents

before them, in the cities, a higher proportion of people will say that they have the British

identity.

So, just going back to a point about this: If it's the 14% is ... If you think about

it this way: The older... The much older generation, they were alive during the war. Some of them

were... Some of them are still alive. They're still living, so they remember a different

time, and they remember different kind of Britain and a different kind of place in the

world. So there can be quite big differences in attitudes between the younger... The younger

folk and the older folk over here.

So, what you can do now is go and do the quiz on this lesson, and I'll see you soon. Bye.

"It's up to you." - Learn A Spoken English Phrase Like A Native English Speaker - Duration: 2:07.

Next, another fantastic phrase, it's up to you.

It's up to you.

When something is up to you or up to him or up to them or to someone else, it just means

it's their choice or their responsibility.

They can decide what something is they want to do.

As an example, I'm talking with a group of my friends or even if it's just my wife and

I, we are thinking, "Okay, let's go out to dinner tonight.

Where should we go?"

And I, maybe I don't have a good idea.

So, I say, "Well, it's up to you."

It's up to you.

It's up to you.

Now, you will often hear this as up ta you, up ta you.

Up ta you, up ta you, up ta you.

And again, I'm pronouncing it quickly because when native speakers say this, they say it

as one thing.

Upta you, upta you.

It's almost like a, like a 'd' sound.

Upda you, upda you.

But the 'd' is very quiet.

Now, people understand this phrase when they hear it and they know in this situation people

will be using that.

So, this is why you don't have to pronounce things so clearly.

But if you sound more like a native, when you do pronounce things like this, uh, again,

trying to say the whole phrase like it's one word.

Up to you, up to you.

So, where should we go for dinner tonight?

I don't know.

It's up to you.

It's up to you.

Charcandrick West Fantasy: Should You Add Chiefs RB on Waivers? | Heavy.com - Duration: 5:44.

Charcandrick West Fantasy: Should You Add Chiefs RB on Waivers? | Heavy.com

The Kansas City Chiefs apparently didn't walk away from their Week 13 win over the Oakland Raiders feeling great about the running back position.

Kareem Hunt's release was expected to result in a decline at the position, but quarterback Patrick Mahomes was the team's leading rusher Sunday.

It was tough sledding against one of the NFL's worst defenses and apparently led to the decision being made to bring in a new face.

Spencer Ware did the bulk of the heavy lifting on Sunday, and while that may still remain the case, he'll now have another backfield mate.

As NFL Network's Ian Rapoport revealed, the Chiefs are set to bring back one of their former players in Charcandrick West.

The #Chiefs are expected to sign former RB Charcandrick West, sources say.

He knows the playbook and will fit right in, filling the void created on the roster by Kareem Hunt.

My understanding is FA RB CJ Anderson had a really good workout and is ready if needed.

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) December 3, 2018  .

The 27-year-old running back played three seasons with the Chiefs previously.

His most productive season came in 2015 when he tallied 634 rushing yards on 160 attempts with four touchdowns.

There's a chance he'll see more work this time around, so let's take a look at West's fantasy football value in Kansas City.

Charcandrick West's Fantasy Outlook.

It's not as though West hasn't been a productive player at times throughout his career.

After all, he averaged 40 yards per carry in two of his three NFL seasons.

Over his three-year stretch with the Chiefs through last year, he totaled 266 attempts for 999 yards and seven touchdowns through 49 games.

He's also a solid pass-catcher, hauling in 75-of-102 targets for 552 yards and five additional scores.

The potential both as a pass-catcher and runner is there, but it's unknown what role he'll have next to Ware.

Although the Chiefs current starter totaled just 47 yards on 14 carries last game, he's had success as bother a runner and option in the passing game previously.

With that said, one key reason why West was brought in had to do with his knowledge of the offense, so he should be able to hit the ground running.

Should You Add Charcandrick West in Fantasy Football?.

There's certainly a reason to believe the addition of West could wind up hurting Ware's value more than it helps his own outlook.

Even still, it's up in the air as to how Andy Reid will utilize the familiar face at running back, so adding him on waivers if you have a roster spot makes sense.

Due to his knowledge of the playbook, West has a very real chance to step in and play right away, which is beneficial to the Chiefs, but not so much for fantasy players with Ware.

I'd stick to primarily larger leagues when it comes to adding West, with the focus being on 14-team options and above.

If you have a major need at running back in smaller leagues, then taking a chance on him as a player to stash on the bench makes sense.  The Chiefs offense is going to continue to score points, and playing alongside Mahomes will only benefit West, so it can't hurt to take a flier on him and then play the wait-and-see game.
