890. The Simulation 💻 ✨(Learn English with a Short Story) 

What does the last line of the story mean to you?

I just wanna say that you're my role model. I recommended all my friends listen to ur podcast because everyone who hears my English asks me how I improved my language to this level. Actually, I've been listening to u for three years. Thank u from the bottom of my heart

Hi Luke, I just want to thank you for all you do for us learners, I simply adore listen to your podcasts, I enjoy it so much and in the mean time I learn a lot, so a big thank you truly from the bottom of my heart. ❤️

This guy is the Sherlock Holme of the English! The way he explain things are quite remarkable.

This teacher is so perfect I love his method of teaching thank you a lot luck 😊

A great idea to add some sounds/effects to the story. It really helped me immerse myself in the narrative, especially when I listened to it. Additionally, the list of vocabulary with short explanations on your website is incredibly useful! Thank you, Luke

I just wanna thank you ,l can listen to English for hours if it was luke's podcast with excitement

The best teacher ever!!!

Good story, Luke. You could have a series of it, called the XX Files 😂😂

Luke, thank you for the wonderful story, which has elements of entertainment and education, as always🙂. How to interpret the ending of the story? Optimist's version: In romantic stories with a happy ending, explosions accompany the lovers' kisses. Moderate optimist's version😉: In the real world, conflict persists and explosions signify a war, which Edward had no idea about in the Simulation.

Hi Luke, a big thank you for your videos I always switch the speed for 0.75 and repeat after you as I really want to develop the British accent. At the moment I’m learning how to fix my accent with help of another Luke Nicholson, so both Lukes are helping me, thank you guys.

I have this sense back in my mind you would be great actor

Hi Luke, i love your videos and listening to them helps me a lot

i would love to hear another of your short story again soon

My god. 2+hrs again. You’re my hero Luke!

A smart teacher to ever listen. His presentaion with likeable pronunciation is admirable

Hi Luke , I am from Hong Kong, a place in Asia. I have been watching your videos and listening podcast episodes for the purpose of learning English. This short story is very interesting, a good articles to increase my vocabulary. Thanks for making this video.

Thanks you for this good course : Well prepared, well organised and brilliantly presented!

Luke ! You are so good teacher! Im can’t stop listening to your reading!

Thank you teacher Luke for beautiful short story,I kind of understood the story,even my English is not in high level.always learning a lot from your English teaching,thank you a lot.

Thank you so much! I really enjoy listening the stories. I hope to teach students well like you.

This story is at a very high level of English for advanced students. As an ESL teacher, I have learned not to overload students with too many words. Also out of the thousands of English words, choose words which are useful everyday. For example, when would an English speaker use the word “stir” in the sense move? Rarely! The story you have chosen is literary and highly descriptive this predominantly uses words which are not of a high frequency in everyday English. Stories are a great way to learn English but please choose a lower level vocabulary of common useful 42:32 words. For example “a sprawling metropolis” is not going to be heard or spoken by a student learning English unless they are aiming at a university level.

Hello, I'm just a Brazilian guy, who wants to take the IELTS test, to try to study in Canada. I found her channel in the description of another channel, the girl seemed very happy, and she said she had listened to more than 10,000 minutes of her podcasts, in order to improve listening.

Thanks a lot , Luke. You are an excellent teacher in all skills. Always extremely happy watching your videos.❤

You are the best teacher at least -for me 😊

You are the best! I really learn when I listen to you! Thank you

I have a feeling that the woman is not real, but a product of his imagination, after years of him being alone. The line 'I'm real' kind of hints that he's trying to convince himself of her existence. The story feels a bit like 'Fight Club', where the main character conjures up a whole new identity. Plus, the explosions at the end reinforce my idea, I think :>

Hello Luke. I love to listen to your podcasts ❤

you are just amazing everybody should listen your podcast.❤❤

Hi Luke, I really like your teaching.

Hello Luke! Thanks a lot for this episode! Love the plot of the story! In my opinion, the last line of the story means the real explosions in the real world. Maybe they were caused by disrupting the simulation in some weird way.

Hi Luke, I really love this story! I enjoyed every moment of your presentation even though I'm normally not a science fiction fan. I was quite surprised to hear that it was mostly written by AI and would like to know more about the changings you've made. I also ignored that AI could create such a poetic language. For me the story is perfect as it is now, with the final sentence you added. The open end leaves the possibility to each listener to have his own interpretation. That's probably the reason why a lot of people might love it.

Thank you sir

I love listening yuor story when sleeping

A good speaker. Thank you very much!

Hello Brother Namaste I'm grateful for your help. You are inspiration to my english Language Teaching. Hats off to you. God Bless You Luke

I love your work, thank you very much. greetings from Medellìn, Colombia :)

God bless you ,dear teacher! Thank you for your great job@❤

For a writing exercise, I decided to write a diary entry from Edward's perspective on the night after he first saw the frozen seagull :) 'Something strange happened today. Am I losing my mind, or did I witness a glitch in the matrix? It’s hard to say. 
 This morning, on my way to work, I saw something that doesn’t seem possible. But I saw it! A seagull, frozen mid-flight, suspended in the sky like a photograph. No one else seemed to notice it besides me. I got closer to examine it, but just as I was about to touch it, the seagull vanished into thin air. I looked around, but the world continued oblivious. I felt something strange and a shiver ran down my spine-‘Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one'. I didn’t tell anyone; they wouldn’t have believed me-they would probably think I had gone mad. However, I can’t stop thinking about it; I need to know what really happened today.'

I love they way You explain they stories!

Outstanding episode, with loads of C2 vocabulary. Thank you.

Great explanation of short stories.Thank you Luke. I love this part in you podcast .continue please

Hi Luke, I was a long time as a ninja but now thanks for your podcasts I know more about English and I can write this comment. Thank you. It seems to me that more of yours liseners and viewers are ninja because they can't to write something with they self without translator and they feel shame a little beat or just shy. :D

Thank you so much Luke. I love the short stories. 😊

Excellent Luke's adaptation. Tkssssssssssssssss

thank you :)

Thank you Luke!"

Hi, This is my firtst visit to here. I'm so glad to find this good english edu contents. Thank you for providing it to global students who wanna study english

Wow what n angaging story ! luke u narrated it so very well especially when u explained vocabulary in detail with d pinch of mimicking. Thank u.

In my opinion, it was a salute to the end of this story. I personally really like Conan Doyle's stories in your performance. But thank you very much for your such useful work in learning English for people from all over the world.🌍👏

I can’t believe that I watched more than 2 hrs in English and better, I understood everything 😮 thanks!!!

It's really a long lesson but it's worth to be patient and see it to the end...❤❤

Great! Thank you for the episode! You have explained everything so well💪

Thx for this story with deep sense! As beeing in a relationship similar right now, my hint is: the end doesn’t refer to a boom that destroys houses ;)

Thank you very much Sir Luke...

Thanks teacher Luke!

Thank you for your lessons 😊

Thanks Luke,you are great!

If I were in charge of a simulated world, I would definitely address odd socks, people never inserting the USB in the right way at first try, people missing just one glove in winter, rain right after wash the car, and printer jamming in crucial moments.

Great episode, Luke. Far beyond a simple language teaching. Keep going pls. Even after the explosion s start. Thank you.

The story with no end, but very deep and instructive...

Tons of thanks. It's a great adventurous story. Love it.

Such a great teacher you are

Thanks for the useful episode. Easy memorable explaining of words ❤ and good mood for all listeners as always!

Good job going into detail. Thank you Luke!

Hey mr. Luke your explanation is smart heart touching nice sir that's great I have improved my English daily , watching your classes . Mr.Rajendra Prasad from Bharat IND

From Bangladesh 🇧🇩 Take love sir💙

The last line can mean that actually the aim of the mysterious girl was to destroy the world and Edward was just her weapon. There was no simulation at all. Everything was absolutely real. The frozen bird was a visual illusion invented to misslead Edward. The end of the world.....Brrrr😅

Wonderful Luke. Thanks a lot.

Thanks

Excellent, excellent, excellent class

thank you so much Luke

this short story lessons are soooooooo good! very interesting story. thanks teacher luke. 😊

Hello Luck.the way you visualize the stories awakens all features of my sences in a manner feeling deeply understand in everything so I had been an English man or what so ever in previous life 😂❤

Thank you so much Luke🥰🥰

i am wandering when i see your podcasts and thanks a lot. please take more video because i really can not stop myself from watching these preferable videos

Hi, Luke! Your perfect English inspires me to move forward, continue learning things. What I really lack is real life communication in English. If you know where I can have this practice, please, tell me, I will be very greatful. ❤

I loved your story, the poetic words, the intriguing situation and the open end, where the reader can choose the final picture. I follow you since long ago, and I think that I have learnt a lot from you. I met Christian Sounders after you interviewed him and also Matt. We were waiting for you at the last English retreat in Gran Canaria. I was recently in Paris, I wanted to meet you but I didn't know how to do it. Greetings from Chile

Thank you very much Luke.😊

In the simulation world, should we get to eat real food or fake food? I need food😂
