Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases A PIECE OF MY MIND and PEACE OF MINDIn this English lesson I wanted to help you learn the English phrase a piece of my mind. If I give someone a piece of my mind, it means that I am angry with them and I'm going to tell them about it. If I see somebody do something that I don't think they should do, and it makes me angry, I might say, "I'm going to give that guy a piece of my mind." I am going to go and tell that person that they are making me angry, and I'm gonna tell them why they are making me angry. I'm going to give that guy a piece of my mind. I'm gonna give that person a piece of my mind. So basically, like I said, it means you're angry, you're upset, you're not just going to tell the person that you're angry, you're also going to tell them why you are angry. When you give them a piece of your mind, you certainly just let them have it. That's another way we say that in English.The second phrase I wanted to teach you today is peace of mind. Now don't get confused here. Notice the spelling change, a piece of my mind means I'm going to tell someone I'm angry and why, but peace of mind, this is the word peace, in a peaceful, calm and pleasant way. When you have peace of mind, it means that you are relaxed and you are calm and you feel really good about life. When I am done all of my work for the week, and when I don't have any other work to do, I have peace of mind. I feel really calm, I feel really relaxed. I feel really happy. It's really nice to have peace of mind. When you get in a vehicle and the gas tank is full, you have peace of mind because you know you aren't going to run out of gas.So to repeat, if you give someone a piece of your mind, or if I give you a piece of my mind, it means I'm angry and I'm gonna tell you why, I'm gonna tell you all about it. But if you have peace of mind, you just feel calm and pleasant and peaceful and relaxed. So by the way, the second one is much better than the first one. I think you understood that, though.Hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Shaya, and Shaya says this, "I can count on one hand the number of times I have had a meal in a restaurant." And then Shaya continues with, "When my class has more than 35 students, things get out of hand." So this was from the lesson yesterday on get out of hand, and I can count on one hand. So great use of both phrases, Shaya. My response was, "This is very true. The more students I have in a class, the more likely it is for things to get out of hand."  So quite common in classrooms when you get lots of students, oh, by the way, thanks Shaya for that comment, that was a great one.It's very common in classrooms that as you get more students, it's more likely for things to get out of hand. When I teach about 15 or 20 students in a class, things are usually fairly calm and fairly relaxed, and things go really well. When I have 30 students in a class, that's a lot. And every once in a while, I might have 32, maybe 33 students in a class, and then things can get a little bit out of hand. They can get a little bit out of control. Now that's uncommon here in Ontario, Canada. Most class sizes are between, I would say on the low end 15 or 20 students, but usually closer to 25 or 30. I would say an average class size for me, the total number of students I have in a class, is usually around 25 or 26, sometimes 30, every once in a while 31 or 32, but that's pretty rare. I actually like the classes to be a little bit bigger. Support the Show.

Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases A PIECE OF MY MIND and IN ONE PIECEIn this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase "a piece of my mind." Now, we usually use this phrase with the verb to give and I could say, "I'm going to give someone a piece of my mind." That means I'm angry with them and I'm going to tell them exactly what I think. If you were angry with your boss at work, you could say, "Tomorrow I'm going to give my boss a piece of my mind." I'm going to tell him or her exactly what I don't like about my job or exactly what I don't like about how things are going. I'm going to give them a piece of my mind. So again, it means you're angry, it means you're upset and you're going to tell someone exactly how you feel.WANT FREE ENGLISH LESSONS?

Now, this is kind of a weird phrase. "We just had a storm here, but we made it through in one piece." "The other day I heard on the news that someone had a car accident, but they made it through in one piece." So what I mean by it being a weird phrase is it kind of sounds weird if you think about the alternative. We don't think about that when we use it in English, though. We use it to mean when something bad has happened and we are still feeling good and no one was hurt. "So we had a bad snowstorm, but Jen and I made it through in one piece." The alternative, I'm not gonna talk about the alternative. We made it through in one piece. And again, when we use this in English we aren't thinking about something gruesome. We're just saying that everything is okay.So to review, "a piece of my mind", if I was to give you a piece of my mind I would tell you exactly what I think about something and I might even be angry while I'm doing it. And when you make it through something in one piece, it means that everything went well and everyone is doing okay.But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Judit. "Nowadays, I drink a cup of hot chocolate every day. I love it too. Snowstorm? Wow, I hope you and Brent will survive." And then I said, "We all made it through intact." And when I replied to this comment, Judit that's when I thought of the phrase in one piece. We all made it through intact. We all made it through in one piece.Let's have a look around though. You might be surprised to know that we went through what they were calling a blizzard, but we don't actually have that much snow on the ground. The snow was everywhere. You couldn't see across the river, you couldn't even see across the road. I went out to check our mailbox that day and there was so much snow blowing I couldn't see in either direction. So I actually decided to just not cross the road. It was far too dangerous. But if you look, you'll see that you can still see little blades of grass sticking up. You can see that we did get snow, my camera, my camera doesn't like the cold. We did get snow, but not an outrageous amount.Let's spin this way a bit so you can see the farm yard a bit better. So you can see my tracks, you can see the grass, you can see the peonies still sticking up, the little stubble from the peonies. If you look in the distance you can see an ominous sky, though, the sun above, but this very very dark cloud. It's not coming this way. When I looked on the radar this morning that storm is actually moving that way, so it's not coming here.But yep, we had two days of really really bad weather the day before, so it was the 23rd and the 24th, yes. Our power went out. We ran the generator for a bit, so wSupport the Show.
