12 分钟Hi there.
This is Harry, and I'd just like to spend a quick minute or two to introduce you to a friend of ours, James.
His name is James Carney, and he's a very experienced english teacher.
He's a native english teacher presently working in and living in Turkey.
James has agreed to contribute some material to our cause, and it's great pleasure to welcome him.
His first contribution is called expressions with Wind.
James is a very experienced teacher and we have been working with him now for some time.
So I hope you enjoy this piece and there'll be many, many more to come in the future.
Hi there, and welcome to my podcast.
In this episode, I'm going to be giving you some expressions and some idioms using the word wind.
So talking about wind with different kinds of idioms and expressions, a good way to begin will be to talk about the second wind.
This means to have a second wind.
For example, usually I start working and do some lessons in the morning, and then when it gets to the middle of the afternoon, I get a little bit tired.
You know, the day seems to be going a bit slowly, but then by late afternoon, maybe around 04:00 I get my second wind.
And so that means that I kind of get a new burst of energy, a kind of a new energy so that I can then return with the amount of energy that I need to my work or, or to my tasks.
And you might talk about something like an athletics race, and you can see that one of the runners in the race has lagged behind the other runners.
So he's actually a little bit behind the others, and it seems that he's going to lose.
He's certainly not going to win the race.
But then a bit later into the race, he gets his second wind, and he's able to catch up with the others and actually move forward and to lead the race.
And he's able to win the race because he gets his second wind in this one.
