The story

I watched that and now I'm watching this! I think I am very likely to slash the risk of my own premature death since I've been running at least 9 kilometers nearly every single day! Good for me!

1/ Slash (v): Negative meaning: cut something by knife violently Positive meaning: reduce something by significant amount To slash the risk of something 2/ Premature (a): earlier than expected or natural time Pre = before, mature = to be ready 3/ Run for your life: move as fast as possible away from danger Negative way: get out of/ move away from dangerous situation Positive way: doing helpful something now, the good result will come in future. A slow 50- minute jog a week is very effective to help live longer. It can not only slash the risk of health issues but also the premature dangers. Thus, we keep doing exercise to run for our life!

Hello Neil and Georgina!!! I'm so thrilled to see your face. I am a huge fan of your 6-min stories. Thank you guys so much for bringing us so many interesting and informative stories. Love from Vietnam.

[@Aleh_yafremau]

Oh! That’s so interesting topic! Thanks for your conversation! I’m not a runner 🏃‍♀️ but few times I’ve tried to run in my courtyard and each time I felt a difficulty breathing after 2-3 minutes the running. Maybe I need to run much more and then my breathing will be better and happier 😀

Hi~ I've got one question about this video here. When they were explaining the word "slash", Neil said that he would not say 'Rob needs to slash......'. And Georgena agreed. However, that sentence is shown in the slides as an example. mmmm... I feel a little bit confused.

Well to be very honest This the most effective way to teach where we find following advantages 1 find out new words 2 meaning of the words 3 usage of the words in the right context 4 find out not only literal but figurative meaning as well 5 discussion between both these 2 teachers over the words make every aspect crystal clear God bless you teachers

Hi. We get studies almost every day and each one has information to keep us healthy, but in the future we may hear a new study saying that running is dangerous. For example There are studies that say meat is so important for our lives, but at the same time there are studies saying the opposite.

[@bbclearningenglish]

We hope that in the future the studies find that sitting on the couch watching TV is good for you! 😂😂
