Learn the English Phrases "at this stage" and "stage fright"

Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases AT THIS STAGE and STAGE FRIGHT
In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase at this stage. Now, this is something you can use to talk about life. You can use it to talk about a project, and you use it to talk about the part that you're in right now. So here's a few examples. At this stage in my life, I'm really enjoying the fact that my kids are older. I liked having little kids, but it's a lot more work. St this stage in life, it's really nice because my kids can feed themselves and three of them can drive. It's just really, really handy. If you're working on a project and the boss says, how far are you? You could say, well, at this stage, we're just done, I don't know, installing the wheels. I don't know what the project is. I'm trying to come up with an example and that sounded a little bit silly, but your project might have stages. It might have stage one, stage two, stage three. You might even name the stages. So you might say, at this stage, we're working on installing the wheels. Let's leave it at that.

The other phrase I wanted to teach you today is the phrase stage fright. Now, this is a slightly different meaning of the word stage. A stage is a raised area at the front of an auditorium or a place where you go to see a show. And when you have stage fright, it means you don't like standing in front of a crowd. Many people have stage fright. If I need to go and talk in front of the school, it's not too bad. I've done that a lot, but I might have a little bit of stage fright. Certainly, if you're an actor who has to memorize lines and perform them, you might have stage fright on the evening of the performance.
But hey, to review at this stage is simply a way to refer to a moment in time inside of a bigger moment in time, like your life or a project. And then there's stages in it, and stage fright is simply to be afraid to go on stage.
But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from, oh, I printed it really big today. When I print at school, it comes out really big. From Sunrise Wang. The landscape is beautiful out there. And what kind of plant is that under the tree? And my reply, I'm not sure. I'll have to ask Jen.
So let me put this away. Jen told me, I think someone asked this before, so I should have known this, but Jen said, this is a spirea. And I think the particular type is bridal wreath spirea. Has these nice little white flowers that you can see. Very, very cool. So it's kind of fun to have stuff like that here on the farm.
What was I going to talk about today? I was just going to talk about how much I have been enjoying feeling better. If you didn't notice, there was a pretty long break from both channels. I don't know what I had. I don't even want to guess. But, man, I just did not feel good for two or three, almost four weeks. And you know how when you're sick and then when you eventually get better, you realize how sick you were? Well, I certainly was good and sick. That would be a good way to describe it.
And now, man, I just wake up in the morning full of energy. I'm having a fun time through the day. I'm laughing a lot more. It helps that the school year is done in five or six weeks as well. But, yeah, I am just happy to be feeling better. And it's good because we have a lot of stuff to do here on the farm. I love showing people the peonies. If you notice over here, it's kind of fun, eh? How much they grow. It's just kind of insane. And these will start blooming soon. We will have to start harvesting them as soon as possible.
But anyways, thanks for watching. Thanks for following me on this second channel. I actually enjoy making these little videos as much as the ones I do on my bigger channel. They're just simple and easy. And I can teach you a couple things and I can just ramble on about my life. Anyways, thanks for watching. I'll see you in a couple days with another short English lesson. Bye.

Greetings from Brazil teacher Bob! I'm happy to hear that you are feeling better.

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

Hello to you down there in Brazil Daniel. Thanks for the kind words! 😎🌞🌳

[@unsalhakanuysal4889]

Hi teacher Bob! 🖐️😎 There is also a psychological phenomenon called the spotlight effect, which reaches very annoying levels in adolescence and decreases significantly in adulthood. Considering that this term takes its name from an element related to the stage, it is understood that the stage is a somewhat problematic area that affects people psychologically in various aspects. 🧐🤔🙃 Thank you for making the difference. Have a great day! Bye 👋😊🌹💐♥️

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

I'll have to look up this effect. Interesting! 😎🌞🌳

[@Ruslan.Asadullin]

At this stage of my English learning I am very happy that I know such a cool teacher! Thank you for your great lessons, teacher Bob! 🌞😎🌳

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

I'm happy to hear that. It's good to be content! 😎🌞🌳

Hi! teacher bob i'm learning english from you.and now i am serious in my studies thanks for your teaching with enjoying fun.Abdullah fron pakistan 🇵🇰.

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

You're welcome! 😎🌞🌳

[@sedighehhasani6299]

Hi god bless you and your family. You deserve nice things and good health

[@qiupark1831]

Im happy and enjoying my time at this stage of my life as well. I am retired so I don’t have to work. I can do whatever I like to do such as learning English and piano and reading a lot of books. I’m glad to hear that you are feeling better. Thanks Bob. Looking forward the blooming of peonies.😊

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

I'll make sure I do a video in the peony patch once they start blooming. Retirement sound awesome. I hope you're enjoying it! 😎🌞🌳

[@Know-that]

I'm glad that you're feeling much better again, Bob. It's nice to hear that you can start your day full of energy again, that you can have a fun time throughout the day and laugh more again 💛. Yeah, your last illness really threw you off track and lasted a long time. How's your cough? Is it completely gone now? (I hope so 😘.) Thanks for the new lesson and phrases, Bob. Have a great day. 🌻☀️🏡

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

All is good. I'm feeling 100%. It's time to think again about eating better and exercising more. When I get sick, I get off track! 😎🌞🌳

[@Know-that]

​​​@@bobsshortenglishlessons That sounds great, Bob. I'm really happy to hear that ❤. (Because I didn't think it sounded so good in your last Friday live streams, I mean your cough.) Regarding exercise, I think it's normal that when you're sick you don't do much of it, or shouldn't do much. I mean, it's definitely better not to do much exercise, or to avoid it altogether, especially if you have something like a cold or flu, because as you know, something like that can quickly turn into pneumonia or, even worse, affect the heart muscle and that would not be good at all. And with food, it's understandable that if you're not feeling well, you'd rather have something that lifts your mood and makes you feel at least a little better 😘. Thanks, Bob. I wish you a wonderful rest of your day. Enjoy it and greetings to your family. 🍕🍩🥤

[@berevilsondeoliveiragomes2140]

[@pedrosantos7375]

Hello Bob! At this stage in my life, I would say that my time is saturated with a lot of work and studying to do. I'm trying to find an expression in English that defines this situation, but anyways, I always find a way to dedicate some time to learning English. Thanks! 👍🏻

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

We would say you have a lot on your plate! 😎🌞🌳

At this stage, Mr. Bob needs to show us his chickens! 👨🏼‍🌾🐓🥚🚜

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

I will do that soon. I don't want to steal Jen's thunder. She'll feature them in her next video on Sunday, and then I'll happily make a video with them. By the way, in my next video, you can see the newly painted chicken tractor in the distance over my one shoulder! 😎🌞🌳

[@tammytsang3487]

@@bobsshortenglishlessons Thank you Bob! This morning I finally got some good news from my oncologist as the latest medical report came out fine. I am going to continue the treatment but don’t need any more new medication or procedures any time soon. By the way, your videos are a big part of my comfort food for my soul. Thank you so much for all your significant contributions to this world!

[@Aerosmith77]

I am happy you are back at full strength! I start a full time job again tomorrow. It will be night shift only - and one more hour spent by commuting to work hence I will have to go by domestic and local buses. This is the same company I worked for over ten years earlier and a similar position.

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

I hope you enjoy being back there! 😎🌞🌳

@@bobsshortenglishlessons Yes I do - but it will be night shift only. I hope I can get accustomed to it.

Thanks a lot for the lesson, Bob! After watching this video, I wanted to go outside and get some fresh air ("een frisse neus halen")

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

Fresh air is good for the body, mind, and soul! 😎🌞🌳

Please don't forget to make a video with pionies blooming before cutting them.

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

I will make sure I do. There is a point where we can't harvest them fast enough and there are lots of blooms in the field. I'll make a video in the patch then! 😎🌞🌳

[@Д.Макаров-е2с]

GD teacher Bob! I'm glad to see that your flowers keep growing. Maybe it's good idea to make video about types of flowers?💐🌷🌹🌻🌼🌺

I might do that later this summer. We'll see! 😎🌞🌳

Hello, teacher! I was once a public shy person😉 But at this stage, due to my occupation I have to cope with it😉Yeah, the school is finished in 5 weeks, hurray 👏🌈🌲🤝 I'm so glad to see you in such a good mood❤

I hear you. If you pick a job like teaching, you just have to get used to being up in front of people from time to time! 😎🌞🌳

Why does your main channel grow more slowly than it did?

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

It grew really fast for a while, and now it's quite steady, but a bit slower. My goal has never been to grow, it has been to provide quality lessons, which I hope to do for a few more years yet! 😎🌞🌳
