Hi Kat and Mark, great you talk about trending topics like eating healthier. I think you're both right, so the most effective for long term is to add tweaks gradually, here and there, and incorporate excercise. In few weeks, lifestyle will be dramatically better for a good quality of life in the long run. Thanks and blessings.

Good morning😊. I am still yo yo dieting, but I have decided to go for a few tweaks here and there. Hopefully, I will see some good results in the long run. Eating a bit less, working out more without stressing out but doing it consistently. It sounds like a good plan. Let's see if I stick to eat.

[@highlevellistening]

Wow great sentences and thank you for sharing! I agree it's all about finding a balance between having fun and taking care of yourself - which is easier said than done!

[@ЗулейхаАзимова-я2т]

Thanks a lot for the helpful stuff! I'll try to avoid eating greasy and oily food and drink less fizzy drinks. I used to eat tons of chocolate but since the beginning of this year I cut on it. I do not put sugar into my tea at all. It trains my will power.😊😅😂😂😂

[@jenteruel8692]

oh, really nice topic for today my two brilliant English teachers Kat and Mark. So, starting today, I will swap eating junk foods for healthier food produce.

[@highlevellistening]

Excellent choice! We make a few little healthy choices, and then we feel energized and ready to go ☺️

[@claudiabautista4165]

Excellent lesson! Plus The advice you give was so useful! Guys, I know that somewhere you said it but now I can’t find the right part in the video : dig in…it’s one …but I can’t remember / is it a separable phrasal verb in tbis context? Also..please ..what’s the verb you used that is what you say just before you start eating: it’s not “serve food” like ChatHPT told me !! I remember this is not the one you used ..

[@highlevellistening]

Hi there! In our Cooking and Eating Phrasal Verb class we introduced "dig in" for a common way to start your meal. "Let's dig in!" It's common to say alone in this phrase, however, if you want to add an object, we'd probably say dig in to or dig into the food. Dig it in would give it a different meaning. This is when we usual a shovel to dig, dig the shovel into the ground, dig it in. When we start a meal, we often say Dig in or Bon Appetit like in French or we can simple say, Enjoy!

[@claudiabautista4165]

@@highlevellistening Thank you so much! Now i understand the use of dig in better. And...nope the other verb I meant was: dish up!! 😊 and I found it in another video of you later!! I knew I'd heard it from you but did not remember in which episode.

[@highlevellistening]

Good research! 😄 (I honestly couldn't remember the phrase)

[@ХадижаБаткунова]

Hello! First of all I would like to say thanks a lot ❤and I have one question about cut out and cutting out. I understood that cut out it’s completely remove something. What about cutting out? It’s like process , I’m trying remove but not yet?

[@highlevellistening]

Good question! The form you use depends on the grammar tense you use and what you want to express. The past tense of 'cut' is also 'cut'. So when we changed our diet or lifestyle by stopping eating something, we can say: - Last year I cut out sugary drinks. - About 2 months ago I cut out red meat from my diet. But if you are still making changes, still adapting, experimenting, or trying to gradually change your diet at the moment, then you can use the presenting continuous which is: "I am cutting down on...". For example: - I am cutting down on caffeine this month. - We are cutting down on cards because have a beach vacation next month. *OR* if you know exactly how long you have been trying to change your diet, you can use the Present perfect continuous: "I have been cutting down on ..." For example: - I have been cutting down on alcohol over the last few months. - Recently I have been cutting down on fast food, and I've been feeling much better. So choose the one that is the most accurate for your situation! Hope that helps 🙏

[@МаринаАртеменко-э9б]

Hello! I liked this topic a lot, very interesting, thanks! I have never gone on a diet, because I understand that there is necessary to have a balance eating fads, proteins and cabs. It can be really difficult to tweak yourself on healthy eating, but as you said small changes makes result in the future. I deliberately refused from alcohol a year ago and try to cut down the amount of fizzy drinks and greasy food, but sometimes it is hard and just a cereal and salad can be tasteless and then I treat myself to sweet treats. Overall I opt for healthy eating to get in more nutritious food and have more energy.

[@highlevellistening]

Wow thanks so much for sharing and practising so many phrases from the episode! I agree that it's always important to treat yourself every now and then during a diet and to listen to your body!

Hi, kat. How you doing? During the episode you said : " . . . and since l meal prepped, things are ready to go. Could you please explain this sentence more, especially the word " meal " ? Thanks.

[@highlevellistening]

Sure! A meal is a plate of food we eat, usually for breakfast, lunch or dinner, a lot of people eat 3 meals a day. Meal prepping is preparing that food and getting items ready before the meal, so you can save time when you’re busy during the week. Hope that helps!

[@Free19637]

@@highlevellistening grammartically, meal is the noun and prepped is the verb, are'nt they? Sorry, maybe i ask a lot. Thanks.

[@highlevellistening]

It's a good question: - [to meal prep] has become a verb, I suppose because it has become so common lately. - I [meal prepped] yesterday. - We [meal prepped] on Sunday evening. - I [am meal prepping] right now. So it's easier to treat the words as 1 chunk, I hope that makes sense!

[@Free19637]

@@highlevellistening thanks.

[@marinaterrosi885]

Get in= eat what you do not normally feel like having?

[@highlevellistening]

That would be a good description yes. Sometimes [getting in] protein, calories, vegetables implies that you don't always want to eat them, or that it's hard to make yourself eat them.

[@Ahmed-o5x]

In the Future Perfect Tense and Future Perfect Continuous Tense, why do we use 'have' with all subject pronouns, and we don't use 'has'

[@highlevellistening]

Good question. The structure of the Future Perfect always starts with: "Subj + will have + 3rd form verb." Because there is "will" the next word must always be "have". This is the same like "can have : should have : might have : may have" and other modal verbs. So it's always "will have." - I will have done it. - You will have done it. - He will have done it - They will have done it. Easy peasy!

[@highlevellistening]

In any tense or sentence where we use two or verbs: will do will have done will have been doing could have done would have done can do might do We don't need to change or conjugate the second verb, so it will stay the same for all subjects. will/could/would/can/might don't ever need to be changed, so it makes it easier. Here are some examples (the only ones we change/conjugate are in the present tense) I have some laundry. She has some laundry. I will do the laundry later. She will do the laundry later. I will have done all the laundry by 7pm tonight. She will have done all the laundry by 7pm tonight. I will have been doing the laundry for 3 hours by the time you get here. She will have been doing the laundry for 3 hours by the time you get here. Hope that helps!
