Hi Bob,Have a great day ! ⛄❄️

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

You too! 😎📱⌚

Hello, Bob! It was nice to watch your new video - actually I often hear the phrase on the news "play down the importance of sth" but that sounds a bit formal so "make light of sth" is better))

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

Play down the importance is a little different. It has no humour in it like "make light of" does. 😎📱⌚

[@otteronline6495]

Thanks, Bob, now I unerstand the difference. In Russian we woud say: "перевести что-либо в шутку" = to turn smth into a joke

It’s so nice to have a real Christmas tree in the backyard. In my country, we only have plastic Christmas tree in the house. Looking forward to seeing your decorated Christmas tree soon!

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

We have a plastic (fake) tree in the house as well. It's just simpler! 😎🍂📱

Happy new week dear teacher! Life can bring some difficulties once in a while and I think a little humour goes along the way in such situations but probably it's also important to read the room! I mean probably if you said your little joke a little bit later you would definitely make light of that situation and your dad would appreciate it! 😂🚙🌲

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

I think it was too soon to joke about it when I made the joke! 😎📱⌚

[@Eduardo-kn4sf]

I don't know if it's similar in Spanish we call it "humor negro" this is when You say some jokes about something serius happens but you make jokes with that, i hear in stand ups shows, but i guees it's different than make light of

[@fho85]

@@Eduardo-kn4sf at some point I think " to make light of" could be similar to dark humour when someone is trying not to take the situation as serious as they should! If at first you don't succeed... then skydiving definitely isn't for you!😬😝

[@qiupark1831]

When we feel light-headed we say "I feel my feet lighter then my head".It means my head become heavier so that I can't keep balance and avoid to fall down. The same meaning and different way to explain. Thanks a lot!

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

Interesting phrase! 😎📱⌚

[@Aleksey_FE]

"Accidents always happen close to home." If Bob's uncle said that phrase, it would be funny. I still shake in my boots, remembering the day about 30 years ago when I crumpled the fender of my father's car. I fixed the car myself, and believe it or not, he never knew about the accident. 😎

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

Wow, you must have done a really good job fixing it! 😎📱⌚

[@Aerosmith77]

Congratulation!

[@Aleksey_FE]

For now, I think that dent was not difficult to fix. I was kind of lucky then. And I know, it sounds silly, but at that time I considered the task larger than life.

[@Aleksey_FE]

Last year these memories helped me a lot to make light of the situation when my son bumped into a pole, driving in my almost brand new car. 😎

[@noriko244]

What a nice tree for Christmas.🎄 Yesterday, l just felt a little bit light-headed after sewing sitting too long. At that moment, I thought how l should explain this feeling and l forgot to look it up. Thank you for teaching this phrase in a timely fashion 😊 BTW, there are lots of masks in ditches in Japan too. Why do people litter? I can't wrap my head around this.

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

I'll have to put lights on it and light it up in about a month or so! 😎🍂📱

I also fainted as a teenager, twice, for no obvious reason. I came back to after 5h! I did not feel light headed before that happened. My parents were petrified but I just made light of it and carried on with my life!

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

Teenagers take their parents for granted. It means thy are not thankful or aware of all the things their parents are doing for them. 😎📱⌚

We call this tree a blue spruce in Ukraine. Does it have any specific name in Canada? By the way, we also decorate them on the Christmas. Winter is around the corner. Thanks for the lesson, Teacher Bob 😎

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

Yes it is a blue spruce here as well. They are really nice trees, probably my favourite evergreen. 😎📱⌚

I’ve had my phone for about 4 years and It’s still functioning pretty well. Buying a new phone every year would put a big dent in my bank account. Probably bigger than the one your father made in that car. Now that’s a situation you really don’t wanna make light of!

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

That's a long time for a phone. I usually have mine about 3 years! 😎📱⌚
