Learn the English Phrases "hot commodity" and "on a hot streak"

Read along to practice your English and to learn the English terms HOT COMMODITY and ON A HOT STREAK
In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English term hot commodity. When we say something is a hot commodity, it means everybody wants it. If you have a favorite team and they make the playoffs, tickets are a hot commodity. Everybody wants a ticket to see the playoff games. So that's one example. The reason I thought of this was because at our school, there are a lot of flies right now, like flies buzzing around. And so fly swatters are a hot commodity. Someone used this term this morning. They were like, where's the fly swatter for your classroom? And I said, I don't know. And they said, wow, they're a hot commodity right now. Everyone wants a flyswatter for their classroom.

So the second phrase I wanted to teach you is on a hot streak. So when you are on a hot streak, it means you are having success at something. If your favorite player scores a goal in every game, they are on a hot streak. If you let me see here, if you are taking an English test every day on your app and you're getting ten out of ten, you are on a hot streak. So a hot streak is a prolonged series of successful results on something. Sorry, those are some big words there.
Anyways, to review. A hot commodity is something that is in demand, something that everybody wants, something that everyone wants to have, like tickets for a really good sports game. And if you are on a hot streak, you are just having one success after another. Sometimes my favorite player on the Toronto Blue Jays will be on a hot streak and they will hit in every game and get on base.
But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Yasin. It's always good to be capable of doing some tweaking around the house. Sometimes it just breaks the bank to call someone in to fix something for you. I think I'm a jack of all trades, but I don't have a way with electronics though. And my response it certainly is cheaper to fix things yourself. I'm the same way for certain things, but plumbing is something where I always call someone. I don't want to accidentally flood the house.
So thanks Yasin for that comment. But yes, that is the one thing. I will do some electrical work, but then I usually have a friend come and check it. But plumbing, I'm always worried I'm going to do some plumbing and then wake up the next morning and a room in the house will be flooded. Maybe however I hooked it up will leak, but not good.
Anyways, two things that I wanted to show you. Number one, there are leaves on the ground. It's September 17 today. It's the Tuesday before you're seeing this video, and there are already leaves on the ground. And I wanted to show you this building. I showed this to my members in a video on the other channel in some detail. But if you look down here, you'll see that they are starting to tear down this building. Actually, earlier, both of those machines were going. But you can see this old mill. It's an old feed mill. They're starting to tear it down. I think they're going to build apartment buildings here. I'm not 100% sure what's going to be built, but I think by the end of the week, I think this building will be gone, which is kind of sad.
This building has been here my whole life. I remember seeing this as a kid. When I would visit my grandparents in this town. I would see this mill. A friend of mine actually worked there. He worked the night shift. He worked from, like, six at night till six in the morning, four nights a week. And he liked it. It was really good money, but it wasn't good for him. I don't think he could handle the... how it disrupted his sleep pattern. I wouldn't be very good at that either.
But anyways, some leaves on the ground, an old building getting torn down. And this lesson's done. Thanks for watching. I'll see you in a couple days with another short English lesson. Bye.

I like these short videos very much They're very informal and easy to digest

[@tarasteneta289]

I'm all thumbs at almost everything. I'm not lazy, I'm ready to do the job, but I don't know how to do it. I'm a bit jealous of Bob the Canadian, because he is "down to earth" and he is almost "Jack of all trades ". Way to go. I wish I was like him.

[@krusriyad8267]

I always wait for your lessons and learn from them. Thank you. Continue. May God grant you health and wellness..

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

I'm happy that I'm able to help! 😎🍂🍃

[@Know-that]

Yes, you really can't deny that fall has arrived where you live, Bob 😘. And that is not only evident in the piles of leaves lying next to and partly on the sidewalk, but also in the leaves of the trees in the background, which are already showing off their most beautiful color variations 🍁. (Time flies and soon another year will be over.) Thanks for the new lesson and the little walk in your town, Bob. I wish you a lovely day. 🍂☀️🌳

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

It's surprisingly warm though. I'm not sure mother nature knows what's up! 😎🍂🍃

[@Know-that]

​​@@bobsshortenglishlessons It's quite possible that mother nature doesn't know what's up, Bob 😎. But I think it's better that way than a dull, wet and cold fall weather. At least you and Jen can get more work done on your farm when it's warm and nice than when it's raining (or cold). Although the problem with the flies at your school would probably be better when it's cold 😘. Thanks, Bob. Have a nice rest of your day. 💐🏡🚜

Nice lesson and picturesque place for recording video! I don't know why but I always like such streets like in this video. It looks pleasant and cozy as think🍁🍂🏘🏗. Thank for good mood!

[@Denis_Shakhmatov]

Thanks a lot for the lesson, Bob! It's beyond argument that Bob the Canadian is a hot commodity on KZbin right now. The bracing air, the vibrant foliage, the sound of leaves crunching beneath your feet - fall is arguably one of the prettiest times of the year. Never mind, just a mild autumn blues 🍁

[@unsalhakanuysal4889]

Hi teacher Bob! 🖐️😎 It has always been saddening for me when buildings in memories are torn down for some reason. When I visited the town where I spent my childhood after a long time, I was saddened to see that some buildings, including the primary and high schools, were torn down and renovated. Therefore, I can understand your feelings. Fortunately, we have devices that record our memories as photos or videos.😊 In this sense, it is pleasing that you have included the mill building on your channel, which is a good digital archive as well as a good educational platform. 📹📸🎞️ I hope the old brick building you showed before does not suffer the same fate as this building. 🏚️ It is always a pleasure to hang out with you. Thank you very much for your wonderful lesson. Have a great day! Bye 👋😊🌹💐♥️

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

It is sad, but I guess the building wasn't safe anymore. I'm a bit sad, but also eager to see what replaces it. Maybe an old age home that I can move into in 20 years! 😎🍂🍃

[@unsalhakanuysal4889]

​​@@bobsshortenglishlessonsYou are right. I am also curious about what will be done. I think a structure will be built in accordance with the zoning plan. Due to my job, I may have to research such topics like Sherlock Holmes all day long. Since I was curious about this topic, I started researching how zoning plans work in Canada. I did a little research. I could not access an official source regarding zoning plans, but I found a cultural heritage report prepared for that region in July 2020. I obtained some information from the report, which also included the mill structure and other old brick structure. Then I realized that I had taken the work home and stopped reading the report. 🤓 I also want to imagine you in twenty years not as someone living in an old age home, but as a sweet old person traveling the world with Jen and interviewing his followers. 🌍🛳️🍽️

[@tammytsang3487]

Bob, is the phrase : hot commodity the same as ‘ hot cake’ ? Thank you for the new video. 🎉❤😊

Evening teacher what’s up!? Did u ever feel so bored while u were learning French & how did u overcome that pressure what kept u motivated? Coz actually I have that feeling sometimes and it makes it harder for me to carry on😢 help me out

How is the economy of Canada?

It's ok. Inflation is coming down. Interest rates are coming down. I think it will be a while before things are back to normal though! 😎🍂🍃

Streak is such a strange word to pronounce. I read it the first times at Duolingo and always thought it has to pronounced in the say way as "Steak". A few weeks later the word came up in a movie and I had to turn on the subtitles to confirm it. I have to get used to it, but sounds so wrong to me.

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

Yep. It rhymes with peak. Streak, peak, freak...! 😎🍂🍃
