transcript of Eslpod number2 family and family members

hello and welcome to English as a second language podcast.
ESLpodcast has brought to you by eslpod.com at www.eslpod.com.
A service of the center for educational development.
In las angeles california.
My name is jeff mcquillan and lets get started.
Today we are going to talk about family and family members and in doing so we’re going to go over some idioms and expressions related to expressing likes and dislikes.
We focus on 2 questions today: What family member are you most like and what family member are you least like.
Well my family member that I think I have the most similarity to or that I resemble the most would be my sister Treace.
There are copple of reasons why I think that we are most similar number1 she likes to read and I like to read we are both readers.
we like, We always have lots of books in our house and are always reading something. My sister also likes to write she is a writer by profession and I as a researcher do allot of writing myself. so, we both share an interesting Writing.
More importantly we are the 2 members of my family that moved away from where my parents and the rest of our family still leaves back in the state of minnesota we both leave hear in california.
my sister in northern california and I in southern california.
I think often in dealing with family members and family tensions and family politics sometimes it’s a good idea to move to another part of the country or sometimes even another part of the world is I have done and brake aways from those family ties to strike out on our own in order to do something different and that is what both my sister and I did and I think that’s one of the things we have in common.
Now in terms of my siblings I have the least similarity with or I have the least amount of common interest that would probably be my brother Mike.
Now Mike is a big sport’s fan. He is an avid watcher of television’s sports. He was an athlete himself. He taught physical education for a few years. So, Mike has a lot of interesting in sports and he spends a lot of time on things connected with sports both with his own suns as well as his own activities outside of work.
I’m not a sport person. I don’t really like sports that much. I don’t watch sports very often, and so this is one reason why we’re not very mutch alike.

explanation

Lets start by talking about these terms: like, alike and likes. In English the word “like” as a verb, you probably already know, means that you interested or you enjoy something. For example: I like to read, I like to go bowling, I like watching television. “Like” is also used as a preposition that you have a similarity or a resemblance with another person or thing. So we might say that Los Angeles is like New York. They are both big cities. Or I’m not like my sister Tris in that she likes to drive and I don’t. We use the term “like” here as a way of describing a phrase or expression that has some similarity with something else. Another term that sometimes gets confused but is similar in meaning is “alike”. That’s A L I K E all one word. “An alike” in this case is usually used as an adjective. For example, my sister and I are alike. This is to express resemblance once again and similarity. Finally there’s the term “likes”. And likes relates back to that first definite that we gave of the verb “like”. “Likes” as a noun means that these are things that you enjoy. So some of my likes are reading, watching television, and surfing the internet. All this would be “likes”. And again “likes” serves there is a noun.

Couple of other expressions that you may not have recognised in listening to today’s podcast. One was “break away from”, I mentioned in talking about how my sister Tris and I are alike. That we sometimes could to break away from your family. “To break away” in this case means “to separate”. I also use the expression “to strike out on your own” or “to strike out on my own”. This is a difficult term because “strike out” can mean two things. In this case “to strike out on your own” means “to go off on your own”, “to be independent”, “to separate yourselfs from someone or some group of people”. Used alone “strike out” is a baseball term, with you maybe familiar with, which means “to fail at something”. And we often use this as a synonym for “failure”. For example, I struck out today at work I didn’t get a raise.
