Hello

welcome

Minute
Vocabulary

I'm
Rob
and
this
is
Catherine
.

tip
to

vocabulary
.
Wow
.
OK
,
let's
get
going
.
there's
no
time
to
waste
.
Here's
Tom
now
.
He
took
his
girlfriend
to
the
cinema
and
then
for
dinner
afterwards
.
Very
romantic
.
Let's
hear
how
the
evening
went
.
While
you're
listening
,
try
to
answer
this
question
.
Was
it
a
successful
evening
out
of
.
We
went
to
see
that
new
film
,
I
thought
it
was
quite
funny
,
but
Jenny
thought
it
was
hilarious
.
We
went
for
a
meal
.
The
food
was
not
so
bad
,
but
the
service
was
absolutely
terrible
.
We
waited
nearly
an
hour
to
get
our
food
.
When
it
finally
arrived
,
I
was
absolutely
starving
.
So
the
meal
didn't
go
too
well
,
Tom
and
Jenny
had
to
wait
a
long
time
for
their
food
,
nearly
an
hour
.
What
do
you
think
about
that
,
Catherine
?
I
wouldn't
last
that
long
20
minutes
and
I'd
be
gone
.
Well
,
luckily
,
they
liked
the
film
.
Listen
to
this
clip
.
I
thought
it
was
quite
funny
,
but
Jenny
thought
it
was
hilarious
.
Tom
said
he
thought
the
film
was
quite
funny
,
quite
funny
.
Now
,
when
we
use
an
ordinary
adjective
like
funny
,
we
can
add
a
word
like
white
or
very
or
just
a
little
bit
to
give
more
information
about
the
adjective
so
we
can
say
the
film
was
quite
funny
or
very
funny
or
just
a
little
bit
funny
.
These
words
are
called
Intensifies
and
they're
quite
useful
.
They're
very
useful
,
actually
.
Yes
.
So
Tom
thought
the
film
was
funny
,
but
Jenny
thought
it
was
hilarious
.
And
the
word
hilarious
means
very
,
very
funny
.
Hilarious
is
a
special
kind
of
a.
.
It
already
includes
the
idea
of
very
right
.
And
we
call
this
type
of
a.
.
A
strong
adjective
.
And
there
are
lots
of
them
,
for
example
,
to
mean
very
good
.
We
can
say
wonderful
,
fabulous
,
amazing
.
Thank
you
,
Rob
.
Three
fantastic
words
,
but
most
of
the
time
we
don't
use
intensifies
like
quite
or
very
or
just
a
little
bit
with
these
strong
adjectives
.
And
that's
because
the
idea
of
very
is
already
in
the
word
.
So
,
for
example
,
hilarious
means
very
funny
.
So
a
little
bit
hilarious
would
mean
a
little
bit
very
funny
.
And
that
doesn't
make
sense
,
does
it
,
.
Absolutely
not
.
No
.
OK
,
well
,
back
to
the
clip
.
Tom
used
a
couple
of
other
strong
adjectives
to
listen
again
.
What's
the
strong
adjective
?
The
food
was
not
so
bad
,
but
the
service
was
absolutely
terrible
.
Well
,
Tom
used
the
ordinary
adjective
,
but
and
he
used
it
with
an
intensifier
when
he
said
not
so
bad
,
but
the
strong
adjective
was
terrible
.
Terrible
means
very
bad
.
And
this
time
Tom
used
an
intensifier
that
we
usually
only
use
with
strong
adjectives
.
He
said
it
was
absolutely
terrible
.
So
when
we
want
to
make
a
strong
adjective
even
stronger
,
we
need
to
use
one
of
these
special
intensifies
like
.
Absolutely
.
So
we
say
very
bad
,
but
we
say
absolutely
terrible
.
And
we
don't
usually
say
absolutely
bad
.
No
.
So
here's
Tom
using
another
strong
adjective
.
Listen
carefully
and
see
if
you
can
catch
it
.
We
waited
for
nearly
an
hour
to
get
our
food
when
it
finally
arrived
.
I
was
absolutely
starving
.
Tom
used
the
phrase
absolutely
starving
,
starving
the
strong
A.
which
means
very
hungry
.
And
he
used
the
intensifier
.
Absolutely
.
To
make
it
even
stronger
.
Absolutely
starving
.
