Hei d sorry for that um we have a great lesson for you
Today we have an elementary lesson
That's right in elementary lesson
About being in a rush and about giving directions
When you're in a car
Exactly we're going to listen to two friends are
Are getting aa car
They're getting ready to go somewhere
And they're in a big her
So let's hurry up and listen to the dialogue
Get in i man

I meant make a right come and speed up
Jeez
What's the rush
Don't worry about it just drive no no
The light is about a change step on it are you nudts

Whatever just turn right here
The free way will be packed this hour
Let's take a sistreet street
Going get out of our way
Move move
What's your problem
Jeez having a fit is not going to help here
I know a short tat just go down here
And we'll cut through ashbern heighlet's t's
Let's go
Watch up for that lady
I'm going as fast as i can
Yes we made it five fifty eight
Just before the library closues you're such a geek
So they were in a hurry
And it was all just to get to the library
Oh
Maybe he was late turturning a ook ook
Or that's a bit dramatic just for returning a book
Yeah
Alright
Why don't we look at our language take away for today
Language take away okay on today's language take away
We have five words for you
Today five really important and useful words that we found in our dialogue
So let's take a look at the first one step on it
Step on it
Step on it
Step on it
So what does it mean
When i tell you to step on it
Drive faster
Drive faster
Right step on it
Exactly you might also say stesteup up
Speed up
Spespeup up
Exactly it up our second word speed up also means go faster
Go faster
And what about the opposite you might say slow down
Slow down
Yeah Okay
So speed up and slow down
So our third word for today is having a fit
Having a fit
Having a fit
Having a fit
Well this is a funny phrase
And i think listening to a few examples of this phrase might help us understand its meaning a little bit better example one
Jeez you don't need to have a fit
Nothing is going to happen
If for five a minutes late example too my boss is going to have a fit
If i don't finish it on time
Example three
I almost had a fit
When my boss told me
I had to work this weekend
Okay
Great example so erica
What don't you me what what does it mean
When you have fit
It means you get really angry ry
You can't control your your momonow so maybe you start screaming
And maybe some steam comes out of ears
Okay
That's having a fit
Exactly excellent ent oay
Let's take a look at our next word now
Cut through
Cut through
Cut through
Cut through
When you cut through something it means you just go through
Go through
Yeah Quite
Simply it gives you the idea that you go through something quickly quickly
So i can say let's cut through the park yep
Or let's cut through the backyard
Okay
Go through
嗯哼
And this takes us to our last word for today
Short cut
Short cut
Short cut
Short cut
嗯
This is a really common word
And not many people know about it
Yeah
You're right
It's too simple words
That when you fit them together
The meaning changes
So it's a great example of this real english we talk about
And it means to take a shorter way
Somewhere exactly so if i take a short cut
I go the short way okay
So going back just a little bit to cut through
If i cut through the park
That's basically a short cut
Exactly alright ok ay clear okay
Now it's time to listen to our dialogue again
But this time it's going to be slower
So then we can understand all these words
That we're just talked about hurry up
Get in
I'm in
Let's go
Okay
Make a left here
No wait
I meant make a right
Come on
Speed up
Jez
What's the rush
Don't worry about it just drive
Oh No
The light is about to change
Step on it are you not
I'm not going to run a red light
Whatever just turn right here
The freeway will be packed at this hour
Let's take a side street
嗯嗯 Go on
Get out of our way
Move Move
What's your problem
Jeez having a fit is not going to help
Yes
I know a shortcut just go down here
And we'll cut through ashburn height
Let's go
Let's go
Watch out for that lady
Go
Going out it as i can
Yes
We made it five fifty just before the library closees
You're such a geek
Okay
Well i think that with a lot more clear
This time you know there was some great language in that dialogue
And i would like to look at how we can put it together
Putting it together
Okay
So today i'm putting it together
We have three phrases for you
And we're going to show you how you can use these phrases like a native speaker
Okay so all of these phrases we heard in the dialogue
Why don't we start with the first one make uh make up
So in the dialogue
They say make a left here
Yeah
And we can extend this phrase to say make a right
嗯哼
That would be equivalent of saying turn left or turn right
Turn right
And there's one more make au turn
Exactly that means turn the car a hundred and eighty degrees
All the way around
If make a turn n make make left
Make make right
Make
Make you turn
If if
If you ever in a taxi
And you're telling the taxi everyword d ago
This is perfect way
Make make a left here
Make a right there okay
So let's move to our second phrrase
And it is are nuts
Are you nunuare you nunuso
This is a great way of saying are you crazy
Are you in saying are you mad
So when would we use a phrase like this
If somebody has a bad idea that you don't agree with you would say are you crazy or are you nuts
So michael
Let's stop this podcast right now are you nuts okay
I think that's a good example of how we can use this phrase
Yes
So are you nuts
Are you insane
Are you mad
So let's listen to some examples of are you nuts
Example one you want anna get ried three weeks ago
Example too are you not not going to cheat on the exam
What if i get caught
So i think that's clear
And now we can move to our third phrase
Which is let's take a side street
Let's take a side street
Let's take a side street again again
So if you're in a taxy
This is a great weight
Suggest a rout or suggest a direction
Right so lecan take this phrase
And extended out with a few more words
We might say let's take wilson avenue right or let's take the dighway
So let
Let's take asside street
Let's take wilson avenue
Let's take the freeway
Okso now let's take a listen to to this dialogue a third time at its normal speed
And now you can understand everything that's in this dialogue get in
I mean left go the the the the the the okay make a left here no weight
I meant make a right
Come on speed up
Jeez
What's the rush
Don't worry about it just drive
No no
The light is about a change
Step on it are you nunuts
I'm not going to run a red life
Whatever just turn right here the free way will be packed this hour
Let's take a sidestreet
God get out of our way move

Just before the library closues you're such a geek
Well
This dialogue is all about driving rave

And in north america
Where both both of us are from driving is everything
Everybody has a car
When did you get a car
I well my car i got
When i was like maybe nineteen really
But i learned how to drive
And i was driving already by the age of sixteen
Yeah
That's the thing in many countries you have to wait
Till i think you're eighteen to drive
But
But in north america
Everyone has a driver's license by the time they're sixteen years old
Yeah Yeah
I guess everything is so far away
That you need a car
