I try not to be
I worry about things
I’m pretty optimistic about the future

you can feel really down about it
on the other hand, I’m of the opinion that you can shape your own future
I feel like right now it is harder to be optimistic
public education is in danger right now
hopefully, she’ll be able to have the same opportunities
having children makes you think more about the future
it makes you think about what’s going to happen
when we were in our twenties, we were just living in the moment

that still seems like a strange concept

I would like to be a better baker
I would love to get to practice languages

it’s a great thing to have
I’d love to take a trip every year

so not that far away
do you think it’s a positive thing?
do you want me to start?
I want to be able to drive
I’m not one of those people
it just goes wherever you want it to go
it’s going to solve the parking problem
so, you wouldn’t have your own car?
when you push a button, it picks you up
this hurts my brain
having a car is a really big part of American culture
driving wasn’t a big deal in Spain
we didn’t even have a car in Spain
people relied on public transport
how it’s gonna be cheaper
I think self-driving cars could just explode at any moment
I think that there will be more and more of that
I just don’t see flying cars as being that necessary
kind of like an airplane?
I don’t see a future for flying cars
Flying cars seem a long way off
we could talk about this for hours
it just seems to be clearly the way to go
it will cost less over the long-term
using renewable resources will be better for everyone
that’s a no-brainer
I think that we’re going to get there
it seems like it’s inevitable
it will change once it becomes financially viable
It’s that time where Kate asks a question off the cuff

[@mayadafahed9058]

very interesting conversation. I like it

[@MabelleDaaboul]

I am an optimistic person. But when I think about the future, sometimes I feel like I'm kind of a pessimist. Because I worry about things we go through, especially here in Lebanon in 2024. We are going through bad situations, bad news, and war, etc. Personally, my predictions for my future are to become better than before, keep growing every single day. I'm always enthusiastic about learning new things every day. I hope to travel and visit many countries, aiming to achieve my goals and be satisfied. As for the world, I don't think we will see flying cars; it's a long way off. But self-driving cars, yes, I think they will be commonplace soon. I hope for peace globally.

[@meenalt1620]

I'm definitely an optimistic person. My predictions for the future? by 2020? Well, I hope I'll get more and more clients, and have a trip in a country I've never been to before. My star sign's Taurus: the transit of Saturn in Capricorn's gonna bring loads of news and I'm going to leave my comfort zone and take risks.

[@narwanayubi5177]

very nice conversations Emma so sweet

[@shetaahama7957]

Thanx .. I am here in 2020, unfortunately, this year is so sad and hard because covid 19 changes the world to the worst and made us wish to come back to the past to live peacefully without coronavirus. Anyway I would like the coming years to be better than before it and speedy recovery to the world and my sad country Syria🥀

[@AndreLuiz-uq2tx]

The new HBO's series that launched in May, Years and Years, is for me, by far, the show that has the most realistic predictions about technology in the next 10 years (2019-2029), like AI and a world every time more dependent on internet.

[@OGabrielRubens]

I'm very optimistic about the future, I really believe that we'll use the technology to help us to use the natural resources wisely, even though it is not easy to be optimistic when we think about our current government. I think that we'll have self-driving cars, maybe not in 2020, but not so far.

[@raberkordi285]

i need more conversations all the week

[@tofluency]

+Mi You have you seen the older ones?

[@The7cristina]

am optimistic.

[@tarbarsam]

So. After all this things I still believe that the future is bright.

[@emilyportella6086]

I'm kinda optimistic for the future. there will be no more wars, no more illness, no tears and no death. People will be able to respect each other and there will be peace in whole world.

[@tofluency]

+Emily Portella ❤

[@MabelleDaaboul]

Nice comment! I hope 🙏

[@OGabrielRubens]

Conversational English is the best! Please, remove this logo of the baby face hahahah

[@wafaa4714]

American accent's tone is perfect

[@antoniobento9055]

I really like this series of conversations with your wife, and this one is very special, bravo. Would it be possible for you to do one of these conversations using the present perfect? Because that tense is very difficult for intermediary english studants. Once more thanks.

[@tofluency]

Great idea. I'll add it to the list.

[@antoniobento9055]

Thanks

[@TrungNguyen-mi6km]

What does "in a big way" mean ? I look it up in the Oxford English Dictionary and it says the idiom means "on a large scale" but I am still confused. Can you give me more examples for it, please?

[@techlearnwithsanjay]

I am optimistic person

[@giselavilares]

Hi, is there any pdf to download of this video? thanks

[@yalkuzak9039]

The baby speaks english better than me

[@dangdinhquan266]

[@tubbabibi]

I am Alhamullilah optimistic and my prediction is that i would be professsor and business woman in my future and my prediction about world is that we would travel in the flying cars and all things would going to be virtual

[@nandinidatta8348]

I am optimistic but what future will be shown ,we can't predict this.

[@The7cristina]

the baby seems very interested in your conversation.

[@tofluency]

[@nandinidatta8348]

Self driving cars conception is very nice ,but when this type of car into the market ,what will be happened we don't know.

[@mohammedalatawii8254]

After that just listen for 1 month without reading the script. After that you are ready to read Easy Short english story for 1 month. The next will be the Novels or Book you like.

[@marialuisaiarussi7630]

I’m kind of a pessimist I try not to be I worry about things I’m pretty optimistic about the future (what is your problem?)

[@cristianacretu8585]

I am optimistic about the future, but at the same time, I am afraid. How will be my life? Will it change? I want a change , but I am scared. (work, a family, drive licence(I am terrified about this)

[@micerezer]

Neither optimistic nor pessimistic, I'm realistic!

[@hopefullysoonaweldingengineer]

I would like to ask a question to you, Jack. Are you always trying to check your spelling-pronunciation or trying to talk more correctly-fluently-precisely-carefulyy while you are on youtube video, podcasts, educational conversations v.c. or it has become your habit in your daily life you are talking with anyone? I am sure one of both or both. As far as I listened you, your pronunciation very close to RP and you are always trying to be careful to your speaking. Again and again I am saying this: I love when you pronunciate ''example''. :)

[@rizkitamilenia]

the black box with "to fluency" logo is covering Jack's cute daughter face :(

[@nandinidatta8348]

Digital marketing would be boomed in the future.

[@mickeymouseee7875]

[@themockingjay3173]

[@tofluency]

Do this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYizdGljbM-GgcU

[@carloscarlos4609]

It's very hard to be optimistic at this moment.

[@ilyasssrifi2740]

And here we are in 2023 and there is No self-driving cars which that getting me feel down and frustrated tho it's been 5years when you Have predicted it and still not happened

[@aamoshkhanal9668]

[@tommy9693]

[@tofluency]

+Tommy Rojgue like E.T.?

[@nuranahesenzadeh3151]

Hello from Azerbaijan. YOUr youtube channel is the perfect one I have ever seen my dear teachers. Keep going. So, i would say I am an optimistic girl at the same time am very realistic. because I think and dream only real thing. it is a long theme but my time is limited and haven't got any space for speak about it. I wish i would some day we meet. Because i love you so much especially your personality and your character,wish you all of the best and happy future. Be optimist everytime and Dan. never let your wife fell pessimist)
