I hope you are ready to describe some stuff, because that is exactly what we
are going to do today! this article about the best tech gifts. you're going to get
some great tech vocabulary, but we're really going to emphasize some of this
great descriptive vocabulary! how to talk about and describe things. thank you so
much to the patrons who support this channel! make these videos possible, and
allow them to be free on YouTube. once you become a patron you will be getting
this video! to go more in depth about the article and some more strategies for
describing and talking about things in English. other than that, you know that
you got to click the three dots down th– click the three dots, so you can read
with me! the article today comes from CNBC, "Here are the best tech gifts for
people who travel all the time" by Todd Haselton. we're gonna skip the intro
and go right to the description of some of these tech gadgets. so here we go! Bose
QuietComfort 35 series II. I included the Bose QuietComfort 35 series II, noise
cancelling headphones, in my best gadgets guide of the year, but I have to include
them here as well. I bought the original set and love the updated model, which
includes a button with a dedicated Google assistant. you still get the
comfortable headphones and carrying case, an optional 3.5 millimeter headphone
jack cord, support for Bluetooth connectivity, and more–but also the
option to ask Google whatever you want! so long as your phone is connected.
they're steep in price, but beloved by frequent travelers, including me! you know
we got some great vocabulary here, so let's review! becoming much more popular,
noise cancelling whatever. means it cancels noise. a gadget is a tech device.
almost always a personal tech device, something that you can carry with you or
use at home for personal use. the PlayStation, Xbox, headphones, your
phone! these are all gadgets, tech devices. when we talk about headphones, it's a set
because technically there's one side and the other side. so a set really means a
couple. this is the series II of this headphone, which is the new model. when we
talk about tech stuff, the model is the series or edition. so when the
new iPhone comes out next year, that will be the new model. if a tech device has
something dedicated, it means it serves a specific purpose. to do one thing. so the
old, the series I did not have a dedicated button for this feature. so on
a tech device if something is dedicated, it is to do a specific thing. a carrying
case is what you carry your stuff in, so many tech devices have special carrying
cases. just little pouches or sleeves to help protect your device when you are
not at home. also I guess when you're storing it, when it's not in use.
a headphone jack– this right here is the headphone jack. and Apple has started to
remove those, and here these headphones are Bluetooth. that means they connect
wirelessly. so they don't even need the cord. and they don't need to be plugged
in, into the jack. connectivity means that something can be
connected. these headphones have bluetooth connectivity. it means they can
connect to something. and in this case, they connect through bluetooth. I'm sure
your phone also has Wi-Fi connectivity, and probably a few other types of
connectivity. if something is steep in price, it means it is very expensive!
that's a steep price, an expensive price. now about describing things, you'll
notice here that when we describe things we always use "it' here headphones are
plural so we use "they" however we never use he or she when talking about objects,
only for people and animals. so the author is saying they are– okay let's
look at another gadget, RavPower File Hub Plus and wireless travel router.
I recommend carrying your own wireless travel router wherever you go. this one
lets you pull in the hotel internet, either corded or wireless, and create
your own Wi-Fi hotspot. it also lets you skirt any rules on how many gadgets a
hotel lets you connect to the internet at once. this model includes an SD card
reader for streaming stored movies and TV shows to your smartphone or tablet. as
well as a 6,000 milliamps battery that will charge up most phones one or two
times. all right so we have a wireless travel router. the router is where your
Wi-Fi signal comes from. to pull something in when we talk about getting
a signal or service, means just to get. to receive. so he says
you can pull in the internet Wi-Fi. it would be more common, more typical to say,
"to get" or or "to connect to" the Wi-Fi. instead of pull in. you can also say pull
in, as in to get someone's attention, or to be drawn to something. it pulled me in,
I was very drawn to it. to skirt something, especially rules and
regulations, means to avoid, to bypass. to not have to obey. so if you skirt a law,
it means you avoid or bypass it. you circumvent. that could be legal or
illegal! to skirt something. you can skirt someone's anger, when you avoid their
anger. it's a nice word slightly more formal, but I definitely recommend you
learn it! because otherwise we are not talking about this, a woman's skirt that
she wears! this is an SD card. to stream something is not to download. it's what
you do on YouTube, you're not actually downloading the content. you're basically
transmitting and receiving the data without downloading the entire file to
your computer. and to buffer is when you are loading for these streaming services.
that's what Spotify is. Spotify is streaming online music. so what I want
you to do, to start describing things more naturally, is to give me a
description of your favorite gadget in the comments. tell me what it is, what it
does and some of its unique features. what it does that other devices can't do,
or don't do as well. give me your descriptions in the
comments and I will give you some corrections ASAP! if you have any other
questions, comments or suggestions, definitely throw all those down in the
comments too! It was great talking to you, I'll see you soon. buh-bye!
