  Hi there.

• 00:10

  This is Harry.

• 00:11

  And welcome back to our weekly podcast where we try to give you some help in relation to learning your English to help you to become better english speakers.

• 00:21

  So, what do I have for you this week?

• 00:23

  Well, we changed it a little bit.

• 00:25

  So the first part I'm going to talk to you about is hypothesis.

• 00:29

  Hypothesis.

• 00:30

  So, hypothesis is where we make an assumption based on some logic or some reasoning.

• 00:38

  Okay?

• 00:38

  So I'm going to give you a few examples of that.

• 00:41

  So here's the first example.

• 00:42

  And when we're using hypotheses, there are certain words that are quite appropriate in the english language to use that would indicate that you're hypothesizing on some particular aspect.

• 00:54

  So hopefully this will be clear in what I give you.

• 00:57

  So, the first example, speculating for a moment, I think she might be asked her opinion of the current political mess.

• 01:07

  So the first word we have here is speculating.

• 01:10

  And this is a real good, strong indication of some hypothesis.

• 01:16

  So speculating.

• 01:17

  To speculate means to guess.

• 01:20

  In this case, the person, perhaps a parent or a friend, is speculating for a moment.

• 01:26

  Just thinking.
