Well hello and welcome to this English lesson about signs. Now
before you think this is going to be a lesson about street
signs it's more than that. It's definitely about all of the
signs or most of the signs that you would see if you were in a
public place. So this is a great English lesson to watch
before you travel to an English speaking country. Because I
will talk a little bit about street signs like this stop
sign here but I'll also talk about signs you would see in a
restaurant maybe at a park maybe when you go for a walk
with friends in an English speaking country you will see
signs like this. So once again welcome to this English lesson
about signs. Keep off the grass. This is one of my
favourite signs. And this is a sign that people who have a
really nice lawn. People who have really nice grass growing
in front of their house. Did you hear that? That was a okay
a bird just flew into the window. I hope it's okay. I'm
not sure if you heard that sound. Um I hope it's okay. Um
anyways when you have a really nice lawn you don't necessarily
want people to walk on it. Usually grouchy old men put
signs up like this in my opinion. But if you live in
town if you live in a city and you have a really nice lawn you
might put up a sign that says keep off the grass. Which
simply means don't walk on my lawn. If you could please stay
on the sidewalk I would appreciate it. And then of we
have standard signs like the stop sign. A stop sign is
fairly universal around the world. Um most people when they
see this sign with its eight sides it's an octagon they know
with a red octagon even if it didn't have the word stop I
think many of us would recognize that this sign means
if you're driving your car stop driving your car at least for a
little bit. We also use this to tell people to stop doing other
things. There's a little stop sign on the door of my school
and it says stop. Do you have any of the following symptoms?
And then it asks you if you have any of the you know cough,
cold symptoms. So a stop sign can mean stop your car. It can
also mean that you should stop and do something before you
enter a building. We of course have speed limit signs. In
Canada we use the metric system. When I leave my house
I'm allowed to drive 80 kilometres an hour. When I get
to the town where I work I need to slow down and drive 50
