good people .,.. i really liked it ..

[@alberfrazenbraum1577]

Thank you, Jack and Kate, for the video. Once, I met a person who was wearing a t-shirt with sleeves, meanwhile, there was -20 C outside. He was wearing that not to shock everyone, but that was comfortable and cozy for him. I like warmness as all creatures, but that human being had a super resistant power against any cold. While I was thinkings this, I started to cover with frost. In spite of my warm, winter jacket I was freezing - but not him! My own opinion, It can be dangerous for the health if you are not prepared. Frequently children do that just to look cool, to be more attractive.

[@tofluency]

That's incredible!

[@ayseyurtsever2558]

I really like skiing, it’s exciting. I definetely prefer to put on fashinable clothes. I don’t like feeling cold. Thank you both for such a great video

My country doesn't have winter but I love snow. So in summer, people tend to play sports like soccer, volleyball, and swimming ....., during the summer, I normally play video games. Even though it is quite bad for my health because smokers smoke as if they haven't smoked for a long time, the smell is so terrible.

Am I the only one who thinks that winter is cool and I've found the season for very beautiful and looking forward for it.

Hello both of you , Hi There, In my country, Pays Basque, in the Southwest of France, the weather is very fluctuent. Yesterday, we wore a T shirt because it was 22° celsius. I feel like Jack. The first reason that I don't like winter is because I don't like put on a lot of clothes on my body. But, paradoxically, I am like Katy. When it freezes and I cannot stay bare, I am fond of hats, gloves, scarves,, sweaters, coats and boots with fur on the inside. I am stunned by Wim Hof, the man who can stay one hour and a half in ice and also by the cold shower of Jack. For me, it seems like a torture. I am going to look into this figure. Thanks for your video and your good mood Oh, right behind you......... I can't wait to be in summer, so I imagined it was waves on a sunny beach...

Hi Jack! It sounds very attractive being in a t-shirt and shorts in winter time)) But as mush I'd like to do it too it's impossible cause I'm from Russia, Siberia and the average temperature is -35° - 40° Celsius) So we have to put on fur coats and several layers under))) Glad to see you again)) Wanted to ask what does mean "Off the top of my head"?))

To say something without thinking about it deeply / without doing any research.

3:51 "It’s really typical that if the roads be icy in the morning, potentially schools will be delayed by an hour or two." Kate may not really mean this WILL, stumbling a little bit as she speaks, but it is in the subtitles. I hope it's a mistake, otherwise, I should go back to the Grammar. :))))
