Hey there, Michelle, what are you doing today? Oh, nothing much. Lindsay, do you like to draw? Oh my gosh, no, I'm such a bad drawer. Drawer, that's a weird. Drawer, drawer, drawer. Oh, I am too. I hate when it's like Pictionary or something. Oh, I'm so bad at it. Yeah, it's great if I can do a stick finger. Like it's really... Stick figures are like advanced for me. I mean...
Yes, exactly. I'm the same way. I'm just not very artistic in that way. But yeah, today we are going to talk about how to use the word draw that doesn't have anything to do with putting crayons or pencils to paper. We're going to talk about it in a different way.
Yeah. I mean, it's very relevant to our language in so many different ways. Um, not just playing Pictionary. Thank goodness. Right. Cause my, my Pictionary drawings, if I'm trying to draw a horse, it ends up looking like an elephant or a giraffe or something. I don't know. It's just terrible, Michelle. It's so embarrassing.
I, I, I, I'm the same. We would be a horrible team. Um, so, but, but, but it'd be funny. So that's good. Um, So yeah, guys, hit the follow button.
What unique uses of the verb 'draw' are explored in this episode?
But we're going to talk about two ways that we use the word draw, two main definitions. Okay. They're pretty similar. So the one is... to extract, right? So think about you're pulling something out from something else, okay? So these are some really common collocations, expressions that you might hear with this idea in mind. Lindsay, what's the first one?
Yeah, so the first one, draw conclusions, right? right? No, wait. No, the first one is right here. We'll come back to that one. We'll go back to it. I'll come back to it. That's okay. So let me give an example for draw conclusions. Before we draw any conclusions, let's take a look at the facts, right? Yes. Oh, so common in English, that phrase, right?
Yes, exactly. So, you know, we pull out any conclusions. Something has happened. Before we take anything from that, let's look at the facts.
So draw.
How does fluency relate to one's identity in English?
And what else can you draw from something?
draw inspiration from something. So basically pull out inspiration from something. So I drew inspiration from three of my favorite artists.
Would you say, Michelle, for your music, you draw inspiration from any particular singer?
I mean, I haven't been writing in a long time, but for singers that I like, that I'm inspired by, I mean, of course, Alanis Morissette. You know who I've been listening to now? Just in the car earlier, Rosé. I don't know. Do you know who that is? No. She sang Apatow with Bruno Mars. And I've just been listening to her solo stuff because I think she's from Blackpink. Okay. And it's very good.
