| 0:29.3 | Hello everybody, welcome back to Daily Easy English expression. |
| 0:35.1 | Today's expression is three words, but they all mean the same thing. |
| 0:37.7 | The first word, sheep, S-H-E-E-P. The second word, sheep sheep, S-H-E-E-P. |
| 0:50.7 | The second word, sheeple, S-H-E-E-P-L-E, and the last word, lemming, L-E-M-M-I-N-G. |
