some really bad things some really bad they're bad people and are we doing this yeah you want to we should just tell the truth quickly they're going to cut us off we have one minute let's go roll the tape ignore that Donnie do not roll tape stay on the teacup and get everything okay push in Jean get it all we would like to share some information about our Network We Believe Fred mcklin to have been Central in creating an environment that silenced women who came forward to complain about sexual Mond those no uba is about to release an internal investigation saying that they have been cleared this is not true it is mostly it is all it's and I'm not going to lie to you anymore none of us are going to lie to you anymore because I'm as culpable as anyone in terms of not calling out or helping to end the sexual misconduct that goes on in this building on October 1st 2017 Mitch Kesler traveled to Las Vegas to cover the horrible Massacre while he was there he slept with a female colleague she was young he was boss so in today's scene from The Morning Show and Apple tv Plus drama series we will witness how the silence surrounding sexual abuse in the news network Broadcasting Company is finally broken it's very emotional moment for Alex Jennifer Aniston's character because she recognizes it was her fault too so the language she uses is very passionate and explicit it's estimated time of arrival was interrup yeah yes if someone just came into my room while I'm recording this lesson they would interrupt me so to interrupt means to stop a person from saying or doing something it's estimated time of arrival was interrup yeah yes in this word natives often drop the T sound in the NT letters combination so we hear interrupt instead of interrupt you know what I'm so sorry to interrupt I'm actually not feeling good I'm going to go ahead and go oh no we haven't been honest with you I mean not like with the news I'm I'm I'm not I'm not talking about that I'm actually talking about ourselves haven't been is the present perfect tense of the verb to be Alex talks about not being honest with their audience in the past and up until this very moment where they finally decide to speak the truth so something that started in the past and shows the consequence for the present moment grammatically is represented by the present perfect what the are they doing get ready to go to tape early we don't tell you this expression contains more vulgar language with the f word it's used when you are surprised or taken back and don't understand what's going on a softer way to express the same idea would be what the hell or what the heck or what on Earth are you doing now about the line ready tape you know the word ready you get yourself ready for an exam or you get ready to go to school here you see the word ready used as a verb which sounds rather formal he says Ready tape meaning prepare the tape or get the tape ready I mean this this whole place this uh it's really different than what you than what it may appear to you we just heard Alex saying this sentence it's really different than what you than what it may appear to you what she means to say is that the audience can't see the full picture of what's going on behind the scenes in the morning show how the audience sees the show when its amiable host is not exactly how things are in real life the word appear in this context means to seem to give an impression let's see how to use word formation to create new words by adding the ending NS a n c to appear we will get at the word appearance which means the looks and the saying don't judge by appearance means don't make assumptions about someone based on how they look I want you to learn another meaning of the word to appear if person appears suddenly it means that they show up become visible so in this case appearance will have the meaning of becoming visible and if you make an appearance at the party you simply show up at the party now let's add the prefix dis and get the word disappear to disappear means to vanish from s to be no longer visible and of course disappearance means Vanishing the state of being lost or impossible to find now we will play for you a couple of Clips where these words I use and your task is to guess the word based on the context and appearance not important nice try but you two did something to get that kid out and you don't want to shine a light on that by appearing together in public don't feel bad I've made quite a few appearances on that thing she's a strong writer he disappeared into the night no he didn't that's exactly what didn't happen sometimes I find it hard to remember all the new words that I learned that's why I like to review them occasionally and I wonder how many new words from today's lesson you would want to repeat later in the week to memorize them better is it 5 10 maybe 15 do you remember them still to make an appearance to come forward to cut someone off if you weren't taking notes don't worry we got you covered for today's lesson we created a deck of flashcards on our real life app that you can practice with it's based on Advanced Technologies so that difficult words would show up more frequently than the easier ones they also come with the images and example sentences for better memorization check it out on real life app in the what's News section and if you haven't yet installed real life app on your smartphone do it right now go grab the link in the description to the video or search for real life English in the Google Play or Apple App Store and now let's get back to the lesson are we doing this yeah you want to we should just tell the truth quickly they're going to cut us off we have one minute let's go here Bradley means the streaming may be cut off or stopped abruptly so the show will be interrupted and no longer online this phrasal verb has other meanings as well let's look at them my daughter had really long hair so last year we decided to cut it off in this case it means using cissors to cut some hair sometimes electricity in my neighborhood is cut off which means the supply of electricity to the house is interrupted or stopped if you cut someone off when they are speaking that means you're interrupting them and stopping them from speaking and if you drive your car and cut someone off then you drive suddenly in front of a moving car in a dangerous way we would like to share some information about our Network We Believe Fred mcklin to have been Central in creating an environment that silenced women who came forward to complain about sexual misconduct you see how emotional Alex is that's why her language is more expressive and more casual too Bradley on the other hand holds herself calm and as a news anchor she sticks to the formal language one of the examples of such formal structure is this sentence We Believe Fred mcklin to have been Central in creating an environment that silenced women who came forward to complain if you wanted to say the same phrase with simpler language you might say something like seems like Fred mlin is responsible for creating such working conditions where it was simply impossible for women to speak out we'll look into the vocabulary used here with the phrases lack to be Central or to come forward but let's talk about the grammatical aspect of her speech here in news reports and formal writing it is common to use impersonal passive forms of reporting verbs It is believed that it has been reported that it is said that it helps the news anchors distance themselves from the situation and the source of it the Imp personal passive has two forms the first it plus be Plus past participle that subject plus verb It is believed that Fred McKing was Central to and the second someone or something plus b plus past participle plus infinitive Fred mcling is believed to have been Central too so you see in these examples it's not clear who believes that Fred is so and so now here Alex and Bradley take responsibility by saying they believe we believe Fred mcklin to have been Central in creating an environment that silenced women who came forward to complain about sexual misconduct to have been is the perfect infinitive and it is used here to express the past action he created those conditions from the very beginning that was an advanced piece of grammar right why don't you try to practice it by watching some news and trying to identify the impersonal passive you can also watch this lesson we made in the past on how to learn English by watching news now about the vocab so Central in this context means to play the major part or the most important role so Fred McKing is believed to have been Central to or to have played the major role in creating this unhealthy environment you know the word silence if there is silence there is no sound so silence means the absence of sound here it is used as the verb to silence someone is forcing them to be silent also threatening someone to keep them from saying something check the example from the gry anatomy money honey good God don't be naive a fortune was paid to silence those women no to come forward means to speak about a crime to bring attention to it to give information anybody hear shot see what happened nobody's come forward so far but uh Marilyn Monroe and Charlie Chaplan over there we believe Fred micklin to have been Central in creating an environment that silenced women who came forward to complain about sexual misconduct those no uba is about to release an internal investigation saying that they have been cleared the word misconduct is more often used when we witness or hear about an unacceptable or improper Behavior especially in the working Place sexual misconduct is a broad term relating to any unwanted sexual behavior from comments and jokes to any kind of sexual abuse when someone is about to do something they are ready to do it very soon when I'm about to start recording a lesson for you I check my camera setting adjust the lighting and do some breathing exercises we know where oampo is we got the warrant for Diaz's tap called his brother and arranged a meet up it's about to go down let's say you are accused of crime without a reason you didn't commit it then you would do all you can to clear yourself of the charges to remove all the charges anyway Lois has been cleared of all charges this is not true it is mostly it is all it's and I'm not going to lie to you anymore the softer way to say is nonsense or simply a lie so Alex says they shouldn't believe a word their boss is saying because it's all a big lie or a crap another strong word it's and I'm not going to lie to you anymore none of us are going to lie to you anymore let's break down the connected speech in the sentence none of us are going to lie to you anymore the first three words in this cocation would always be pronounced as one the F sound turns into V and we have thewwa sound there so not of but of of us none of us the men stress in the sentence falls on the verb lie so the words before and after it group together around it are going to lie to you the T sound between the vowels is pronounced as du so lie to you becomes lie to you none of us are going to lie to you anymore I'm not going to lie to you anymore none of us are going to lie to you anymore it's and I'm not going to lie to you anymore none of us are going to lie to you anymore because I'm as culpable as anyone in terms of not calling out or helping culpable culprit culpability all these words have a Latin root kulpa meaning guilt or responsibility you might have heard the phrase meula meaning that's my fault you may be surprised but you can come across this phrase in Modern English as well when someone is trying to use this fancy or more formal way to say that's my bad I'm guilty now let's come back to our word from the scene Alex says she's culpable because she feels responsible for this bad situation she feels guilty culpability is responsibility for wrongdoing and culprit is a person who is responsible for a crime so the main culprit here is Fred but Alex feels she's also culpable he admits it you heard it he admits culpability you're being naive n see because I'm as culpable as anyone in terms of not calling out or helping to end the sexual misconduct that goes on in this building in this context to call out is to bring attention to someone's unacceptable actions or behavior and do it publicly to make other people aware of it and by doing so criticize the behavior and help prevent it from spreading on October 1st 2017 Mitch Kesler traveled to Las Vegas to cover the horrible Massacre while he was there he slept with a female colleague she was young he was her in the context of news the word cover means to report on the event to show it on the news the news has been covering it all morning on October 1st 2017 Mitch Kesler traveled to Las Vegas to cover the horrible Massacre while he was there he slept with a female colleague she was young he was her boss a massacre is a deliberate and brutal killing of people now are you ready for a test let's watch the

interact means to communicate all the other words mean the same to prevent or disrupt get ready to go to tape early ready we don't tell you everything even a little bit I mean this this whole place
