Jack
You’re listening to the A-Z English podcast.
00:00:13
Jack
Welcome.
00:00:13
Jack
To the A-Z English podcast, My name is Jack and today I am here with a guest host Layla from Saudi Arabia. Layla, how are you?
00:00:24
Layla
I’m doing well, Jack. What about you?
00:00:27
Jack
I’m doing great. It’s been a long time actually since we recorded an episode, so it’s great to have you back on the show.
00:00:34
Layla
Exactly. I miss those podcasts. They are so amazing. Yeah.
00:00:44
Jack
So much fun doing it with you guys and we’ll we’ll start doing more episodes with with students from our WhatsApp group and well, actually, technically Leila is a teacher in our WhatsApp group, so I need to get my words my my vocabulary right here.
00:01:02
Jack
All right. Yeah, of course. So, Leila, what I have is a fun little personality quiz, and I thought it would be fun for you and I to answer the questions and see if our answers are similar or different. So I’m going to start with #1 and you can answer first. So the first question is.
00:01:02
Layla
Thank you, Jack.
00:01:18
Layla
OK.
00:01:22
Jack
If you could have any superpower, which would you choose a invisibility?
00:01:31
Jack
B teleportation.
00:01:34
Jack
C Super strength or D mind reading.
00:01:41
Layla
Oh, this is a tough question, but I think I will choose see super, super strong and just take the blow. Ohh string yes.
00:01:53
Jack
Ohh you want super strength, OK?
00:01:57
Jack
And why? Why do you choose that?
00:02:00
Layla
Uh, because now I am too weak physically. And so I think I have a really super strength. I would be able to do a lot of things and even my family will can don’t get afraid that I will.
00:02:21
Layla
For example, feel tired quickly when I do something, and even when I want to walk to go somewhere I would be.
00:02:30
Layla
They broke.
00:02:32
Layla
To do it for a long time because my power is enough to to support me, to push me to do it and I can protect myself from bad people when they try. Only when they want to do some bad thing to me.
00:02:51
Jack
I mean, you could, I’m thinking practically your your family could say, like Layla. Move that sofa over there. You could just pick it up with one hand, one arm, move it over.
00:03:03
Jack
But you could protect your.
00:03:05
Jack
Family from you know, you know bad people and and scare them away so.
00:03:11
Layla
Yeah, because I need. I need their help all the time now. But I have that power. Maybe that super strength. I never need their help. They will need me.
00:03:27
Jack
Yeah, I I like that. I like that. I’m looking at the list here, and I’m looking at a super strength.
00:03:32
Jack
Would be nice I.
00:03:33
Jack
Would like that. I’m not very strong.
00:03:35
Jack
I mean I’m I’m.
00:03:37
Jack
I’m OK. Like I’m strong enough. I think so.
00:03:40
Jack
UM, it’s OK, but uhm mind reading would be kind of terrible, I think. Like.
00:03:48
Jack
I don’t want.
00:03:48
Jack
To know what people are thinking. I’m sure they’re thinking horrible things sometimes, right? So.
00:03:56
Layla
Yes, so that.
00:03:58
Layla
Will not make make us feel comfortable. We will be happy.
00:04:02
Jack
Happy. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Actually, it’ll make us sad.
00:04:06
Jack
If people if I really knew what people think.
00:04:08
Jack
About me, I might. I might not want to.
00:04:10
Jack
Know that I think ignorance is bliss, you know.
00:04:11
Layla
Especially especially about people that we love.
00:04:17
Jack
Right, right. Yeah, what?
00:04:19
Jack
I don’t want I. I don’t want to read.
00:04:22
Jack
Minds. I’m I’m I’m stuck between.
00:04:25
Jack
Teleportation and invisibility. Invisibility is just kind of useless, though I don’t really think it’s really helpful. I mean, unless I wanna do some like really bad things like rob a bank or something.
00:04:37
Jack
I suppose that would be good, but but it’s not the right thing to do, so I would I would choose be teleportation because I really, really hate flying.
00:04:50
Jack
Like I hate and I hate driving. So if I could snap my fingers and be to work or snap my fingers and be in America that you know to visit my family, I think that would be amazing and not have to sit in an airplane for 17 hours.
00:05:11
Layla
Exactly. Ohh, Jack, I think you started convince me to change my my end.
00:05:16
Jack
Now you’re thinking.
00:05:17
Jack
Yeah. What’s that? Super strength is not looking so good now, right? Yeah. OK. Alright, #2.
00:05:26
Jack
What’s your ideal way to spend a weekend?
00:05:31
Jack
A exploring a new city.
00:05:35
Jack
B. Relaxing at home with a good book.
00:05:39
Jack
Or a movie.
00:05:40
Jack
See an outdoor adventure like a hike or going camping.
00:05:47
Jack
Or Dee socializing with friends at a party or an event.
00:05:56
Layla
I just want to remember the first one I think.
00:05:59
Jack
Exploring a new city.
00:06:02
Layla
I think I will go with the with Ellie exploring a new city I because I have.
00:06:11
Layla
I don’t have enough experience about even the city where I live, so I think I really need that experience.
00:06:22
Layla
So I will go with the with a.
00:06:25
Jack
Yeah, that’s a good answer. I was thinking the same thing. Umm, if I could combine teleportation and exploring a new city, that would be amazing. Like I could just be in Malaysia. I could be in Dubai and then I could spend the weekend exploring. But if I have to travel somewhere.
00:06:45
Jack
I don’t I.
00:06:46
Jack
I need more time than a weekend, you know, like so for me.
00:06:52
Jack
And hiking? I don’t like hiking and camping.
00:06:56
Jack
I hate it.
00:06:57
Jack
I don’t want to sleep on the ground. It’s not comfortable going to a party. Sounds horrible to me, like I do not want to do that at all, but.
00:07:08
Layla
Yeah, I agree with you about that.
00:07:11
Jack
I think relaxing at home with a good book, a movie or a podcast. That’s what I like. You know, staying at home, listening to a podcast or even recording a podcast. That’s like what I really love to do. So.
00:07:27
Jack
OK.
00:07:29
Jack
Alright, we’re not.
00:07:30
Jack
We’re not really lining up here, but.
00:07:33
Jack
But you have some good answers.
00:07:36
Jack
#3 if you could have dinner with any historical figure, who would it be? A Leonardo da Vinci.
00:07:47
Jack
B Marie Curie.
00:07:50
Jack
C Albert Einstein or D Leopard etra.
00:07:57
Layla
Ohh, I think in my case for sure I will go with a because I want to know more about Leonardo Davinci, how he became a really or maybe a very famous artist and.
00:08:03
Jack
I knew it.
00:08:15
Layla
A lot of things that I want to know about him, about art, so.
00:08:23
Layla
I I would. I would like to have this opportunity, if I could.
00:08:28
Jack
And not only was he a painter and.
00:08:29
Layla
Yes. Yeah.
00:08:32
Jack
He was also an.
00:08:33
Jack
Engineer he like, made blueprints of machines and all kinds of he was amazing. He was an A brilliant guy, yeah.
00:08:40
Layla
Yes, so.
00:08:42
Layla
Maybe he can teach me how to be, or maybe what?
00:08:48
Layla
The Magic Key to be like him.
00:08:52
Jack
Right. And you’re an.
00:08:52
Jack
Artist. So I mean, before our listeners out there that don’t know, Layla is an amazing English student and an amazing speaker, a great teacher, and she is also a very talented artist. So you you have met you, we say in English, you wear many hats. We say you have.
00:09:11
Layla
Thank you so much. You really gave me a lot of compliment today.
00:09:11
Jack
These skills.
00:09:15
Jack
Well, it’s all true. It’s all true. I, you know, I’m not an artist, so.
00:09:22
Jack
I I would probably I’m not going to go with da Vinci. Marie Curie. I’m scared. I don’t want to get radiation poisoning. So I want to stay. Stay away from Marie Curie. Einstein would be interesting, but I think he’s so.
00:09:42
Jack
He’s he’s so such a like a genius. Like, I don’t know if I could even understand him, you know? So I would probably not choose Einstein but Cleopatra.
00:09:56
Jack
Seems interesting to me because.
00:09:58
Jack
Is, you know, she she was a ruler. And I I don’t think there’s a lot of we don’t we there’s a lot that we don’t know about her so maybe I could learn something new about that that period of time so.
00:10:14
Jack
Yeah, I think I would choose Cleopatra. I just hope that she wouldn’t, like, you know, kill me or something like that. Have the military kill me.
00:10:21
Layla
No, no.
00:10:24
Jack
OK, #4, what’s your go to comfort?
00:10:29
Jack
Food a ice cream, B pizza, C chocolate D macaroni and cheese and I.
00:10:39
Layla
Ohh now as I am not I didn’t eat my breakfast yet, so I think I will go with choose pizza because even pizza is one of my favorite food so I’m hungry so I need to eat something.
00:10:39
Jack
Know the answer already.
00:11:00
Layla
I just imagine that I am eating pizza. Ohh, it would be wonderful.
00:11:05
Jack
OK, I thought.
00:11:06
Jack
For sure, you were gonna say chocolate, but that’s that’s very interesting. OK, cause I know you’re you love chocolate. I know that.
00:11:16
Layla
Exactly. But now, uh, I am hungry. And when I’m hungry, I prefer to eat something salty. Or maybe how to say that or maybe say very yes.
00:11:25
Jack
Savory, yeah.
00:11:30
발표자
OK.
00:11:30
Layla
And it did that. It’s one of my favorite food. So yeah, I love it so much.
00:11:35
Jack
OK. OK. Well, you know what? I’m I’m with you 100%. I would love a a slice of New York pizza. Oh, my gosh. Just the grease and the the oiliness of it. The, the the saltiness, the savory, the cheese, the bread.
00:11:55
Jack
It’s perfect. Yeah, but that’s what call it comfort food. It’s not to make you healthy. It’s to make you feel comfortable. So.
00:12:04
Layla
Exactly and happy.
00:12:05
Jack
Yeah, yeah. To make you happy. Exactly. OK. All right. Here’s our last question.
00:12:12
Jack
If you were an animal, what animal would you be? A an owl?
00:12:17
Jack
Be a cat.
00:12:19
Jack
See a dolphin or D an elephant?
00:12:24
Layla
Ohh, this is not uh difficult for me because I will go to choose to be with cat. I love cats and they are so adorable. And yeah, when I was a kid I I had a lot of cats and I played with them.
00:12:33
Jack
Knew that.
00:12:46
Layla
Most of the time, but not now because I am not.
00:12:50
Layla
I don’t have enough time to take care of them, but I really love to see them to play with them, even when I just see them in the park or in some somewhere. So yeah, I will go to choose class.
00:13:04
발표자
I think that that.
00:13:05
Jack
Lines up with your personality, too, because you’re you’re you strike me as a person who can be alone or.
00:13:12
Jack
With people and you’re satisfied. You know how dogs need people. They’re so needy. But a cat is like is OK with people.
00:13:21
Jack
Also OK.
00:13:22
Jack
Alone, and you seem like that matches your personality, am I correct?
00:13:27
Layla
Yeah. Yes, you’re incorrect, Jack. About it.
00:13:30
Jack
Yeah, yeah. I would be a dolphin because they never stopped moving. You know, I’m always doing something podcast, you know, teaching in our WhatsApp group, doing posting something on Facebook. I’m just always. I’m always working.
00:13:50
Jack
And going and going and going.
00:13:52
Jack
And I feel.
00:13:53
Jack
Like that matches a kind of Dolphins personality. They just never sit still. They just keep going and keep going so.
00:14:00
Layla
Exactly. And they are so smart.
00:14:00
Jack
You know, yeah.
00:14:04
Jack
They are. They are smart too. I I’m giving myself a little bit of of credit here that maybe I don’t deserve, but.
00:14:12
Layla
No, no, no. You deserve it.
