Spending time alone

4:14

And I like to do that, but not so much.

4:14

Not as much as maybe spending time with people,

4:17

because, like I said before, if I'm alone for too long,

4:22

I get a bit lonely and feel a bit, I don't know, just lacking energy.

4:34

Let's recap the vocabulary we heard in this podcast.

4:37

Starting with 'socialise', which means to spend time with friends

4:41

or other people to enjoy yourself.

4:44

We had 'small talk', which is conversation about things which aren't important,

4:49

such as the weather or the traffic.

4:51

We use small talk a lot in the UK.

4:54

We heard some adjectives to describe how you might feel about meeting new people.

4:59

So, we had 'embarrassed', which means feeling ashamed or shy.

5:04

And we also heard 'awkward', which means feeling uncomfortable

5:08

when you're meeting new people.

5:09

We also heard 'in common',

5:11

so if you have something in common with someone,

5:14

it means you share the same likes, dislikes, or interests with someone.
