  Hi there.

• 00:10

  This is Harry, and welcome to my podcast, where I try to help you to get a better understanding of the english language, where we do it through the use of expressions and idioms, phrasal verbs, and help to improve your grammar and improve your vocabulary.

• 00:25

  So, what are we going to look in this particular podcast?

• 00:28

  Well, this is the extra podcast, so giving you a little bit of extra information and perhaps a little bit longer podcast.

• 00:35

  So hopefully you can bear with me.

• 00:37

  So what I'm going to talk to you now is about some adjectives, okay, but what we're going to use about are adjectives that are often confused, and these are personality adjectives.

• 00:48

  So what do we mean by personality adjectives?

• 00:51

  Well, these are adjectives you use to describe perhaps somebody's personality.

• 00:57

  So we're going to study some of these and match the definition and the meaning.

• 01:04

  So you know how to use them in the future.

• 01:06

  So we want to look at which adjective might have a negative meaning or which might have a positive meaning.

• 01:12

  So let's take the first two, lazy and easygoing.

• 01:17

  Okay, these often get confused, lazy, and easygoing.

• 01:21

  So when we describe somebody as lazy or we describe them as easy going, what does it mean?

• 01:25

  So let me give you two sentences.

• 01:28

  When you tell you can try and work out, and I'll tell you which adjective goes with which sentence.

• 01:33

  So, a, relaxed and happy to do whatever people want.

• 01:38

  Relaxed and happy to do whatever people want.

• 01:41

  And b, not liking to work or use your energy.

• 01:46

  Not liking to work or use your energy.
