14 分钟Hi there, this is Harry, and welcome back to our English podcast, where we try to help you to understand the english language in a better way so that you can be able to communicate either in a business context or just in ordinary conversational English.
So we help you with the grammar.
We look at some idioms, phrasal verbs, phrases, idiomatic phrases, all sorts of aspects that will help you to improve your English so you can be better understood and better understand.
So what do I have for you in this podcast?
Well, in this particular podcast, we're going to take a look at some more idioms, and in this situation we're looking at idioms connected with progress, about making progress, and the speed with which we make progress.
So sometimes progress can be slow, and sometimes progress can be a little quicker.
So we're talking about progress and the speed with which we make that progress.
So as always, I'll read out the particular idioms and then I'll go through them, give you an explanation and hopefully a good working example.
Okay, so let's get on.
