Running a marathon makes you 'younger': BBC News Review

Running a marathon makes your heart younger. Taking part in just one marathon can make your heart 'younger' by years, according to new research. Neil and Georgina look at the vocabulary in the news around this story.
The story:
Researchers say regular running, no matter how far or how fast, substantially reduces the risk of an early death. A team from Australia, Thailand and Finland examined data on nearly a quarter of a million people, and found that any amount of running was linked to a 27% reduction in mortality.
Vocabulary:
cuts
reduces
• In hard times, the government often cuts arts funding first.
• It’s simple - cut smoking and health improves.
taking on
making a decision to do something challenging
• I’m taking on a huge new international project.
• Jorge’s taken on too much work. He can’t cope!
reverse
change the direction of something to the opposite
• In a driving test, you must show you can reverse the car.
• The school reversed its decision. Now girls can wear trousers.

[@bbclearningenglish]

Thanks for spotting that. We've changed it now.

[@joeche7461]

Compared to others, such as Neil, Dan, Catherine, Finn and Paul, etc. I think Georgina should put more efforts on the programme. I didn’t mean anything wrong that she did, just other hosts are terrific.(I am apologise I am so mean! As a English learner, I am watching this impressive programme as well as complaining, I feel ... so sorry)

Would you mine...Please have a look on your thumbnail. You have written “running makes you” instead of “running make you”

[@bbclearningenglish]

These are the rules for verb conjugation: I make You make He/she/it makes We make You make They make In this context, we are thinking of 'running' as 'it', so it should be conjugated in the third form - "Running a marathon makes you younger".

I tried to take on playing the guitar every day, but I gradually cut off practising days and finally reversed my decision. Could anyone correct mine, please? Thanks

[@bbclearningenglish]

Maybe we'd say something like: "I took on a new challenge by deciding to play the guitar every day. However, I gradually cut down the amount I played to just one day a week before finally reversing my initial decision and quitting altogether". It was a really good effort. We hope those changes make sense and that you find the corrections useful! 😃
