Lesson Transcript

Hi, everybody. My name is Alisha.
Welcome to the 2000 core English words and phrases video series!
Each lesson will help you learn new words, practice, and review what you've learned.
Okay, let's get started.
First is...
lobby
Lobby is the basic place in a hotel, usually, where people can wait or people can make arrangements to meet someone else. It's kind of a space for everyone to use.
Here's an example:
hotel lobby
wake-up service
Wake-up service is a service you can request from hotel staff. You can ask the front desk staff at the hotel to call your room at a certain time to wake you up.
Here's an example:
I used the wake-up service to call me at 6 o'clock a.m.
suite
A suite is a type of hotel room. In a suite style hotel room, there is a kitchen and maybe a sitting area included inside the room.
Here's an example
hotel suite
cycling
Cycling is a popular sport. Cycling uses a bicycle. Usually, people who cycle like to go for long distances and even participate in competitions.
Here's an example:
cycling race
auto racing
Auto racing is short for automobile racing, so this refers to a sport where cars are raced on a racing track.
Here's an example:
racing car on an auto racing track
Scotch tape
Scotch tape is actually a brand of tape. This is a very commonly used kind of very clear, thin tape we often use around the house, in the office, at school, and so on.
Here's an example:
roll of Scotch tape
be born
So we use "born" to talk about the date of our birth or the location of our birth.
Make sure when you use this verb that you change the be verb to match your subject; for example, I was born, he was born, she was born, or you were born, and so on.
For example:
I was born in 1980.
get a job
To get a job means to go out in search for a way to earn money. This can be a part-time job, a full-time job, a freelance job, and so on.
Here's an example:
My brother finally got a job!
die
The verb "to die" means to no longer be alive. We can use the verb to talk about people no longer being alive, animals, plants, basically any living thing.
Here's an example:
die of an illness
Tokyo
Tokyo is a very very big city in Japan. It's one of the biggest cities, if not the biggest city, in terms of population in the world.
Here's an example:
Tokyo is really convenient.
