Your video is clearly, easy to understand, thank you so much
I love it when I click on the video some ads will appear and this time is all about electric juicers. I enjoyed watching it. Thanks for another episode(lesson). ❤️👍
Hahaha. Thank you. What did you think about the editing/images in my video? Did they make it better or worse?
@@TeacherMikeEnglish It's nice and I enjoyed watching this episode as well. Also, I appreciate the hard work on this.❤️👍😊
The best teacher ❤❤❤
On that time there will be a traffic jam so we have to go through another road. We got stuck in a traffic jam so we are late. There is a grillock traffic jam during the office time in our city. In the evening may be we get traffic jam on the way to come back home. Thanks teacher for teaching us this topic.😍
When there is a traffic jam, we sometimes have to take another road. ✅😀
1:26-1:41, It's impossible not to encounter this situation, and sometimes bumper-to-bumper when we are on the road it's quite inevitable 🙂 A lot of traffic. I'm watching the ads again. This time is about "Smart communications" and Japan's imports and so on.🙂❤️
Have you bought the juicer yet?
@@TeacherMikeEnglish😁 I already have one. Also, a blender and stuff like that Thanks❤️👍

Thank you! 😃

Very interesting video, Mike. There is always a traffic jam in my city. That's why I love to work from home. Does "Traffic tangle" mean traffic jam? Thanks a lot, Mike. Lovely lesson.
It probably does? I've never heard that before. What do you think about this video? Does the background make it more interesting, or is it just annoying?
I saw that word on a magazine. Yes, of course. The background is beautiful, and makes your video appealing. Thanks, Mike
I love your clear explanations. At least here in the UK it is also common to talk about the problem of slow traffic being due to CONGESTION, eg "there was a lot of congestion on the road" or "the road was heavily congested", and in London people who enter the city centre need to pay a "congestion charge"
Thanks! And we use "congestion" that way here also.
Amazing video(episode)👍
Thanks! 😁
@@TeacherMikeEnglish😊❤️👍
James always blames the heavy traffic when he's late for work.😊
Very good use of "blame".✅
There is not much traffic on weekends. The traffic is bad or heavy. There is little traffic or there is light traffic. There is not traffic on holidays. This city has a lot of traffic jams. I am stuck in a traffic jam, so I'm going to get there very late. The traffic is gridlocked means no one can move in any dirección. The traffic is bumper to bumper means the vehicles are so close to one another that they are almost touching and are moving very slowly. The traffic is light now, but it's going to get worse soon. Thanks a lot, Mike.

Teacher mike is my favorite teacher , teacher I have a question. I received a new credit card. I was carefully reading the document that comes with the card and was paying attention throughout the whole document and I realized that “going to “ Is nowhere to be seen , only will but not going to. Do you know why?
Good wuestion. WILL is generally used for facts in formal writing.
@@TeacherMikeEnglish3 years ago I was reading immigration documents ( I am latin American living in Canada) and came to the realization that I only saw “will”. Not sure if you wanted to talk at least briefly one day on your videos about this. I am also not sure if this detail is just so unimportant. I might be getting so much into this topic ( maybe some of us do lol)
I am just waiting to clear the traffic jam up.. Is it correct?
waiting for the traffic jam to clear up
Bangkok has heavy traffic jams.
Bangkok has heavy traffic.✅ Bangkok has a lot of traffic jams.✅
Thank you so much.
Sometimes Suratthani has traffic jam too.
Is this sentence correct? 'There is a lot of traffic jam.' I mean a lot of + jam is possible? S is essential??
No. "Traffic jam" is a countable noun.
I'm confused between the words traffic and traffic jam, could we just using one of them only?🤔
No. Traffic = vehicles on the road Traffic jam = many vehicles in one area moving slowly or not moving
She tells me she was caught in a traffic jam.
It is terrible to be stuck in a traffic jam.
