  • Hi there again.

  • This is Harry, your english teacher, following up with another podcast this week.

  • And this week I want to talk about weight and health, but particularly weight.

  • W e I g h t.

  • That is not wait.

  • And I'm going to talk about weight because the last time I was speaking to you, I was talking about wonderful holidays and particularly a beautiful holiday that I had.

  • And of course, as a result of that, I have put on a few pounds or kilos perhaps, and I probably want, well, I definitely want to think about losing them.

  • So we're going to talk about aspects to do with, with that.

  • And I thought as a bit of fun, I would put into the podcast today quite a number of phrasal verbs, and there's a little competition for yourselves.

  • You can try and see.

  • Can you work out exactly how many phrasal verbs I use?

  • Okay, they're all connected with the theme, so they're interesting to use for you, they're interesting for you to identify, and hopefully you'll understand the meaning and then how to use them.

  • But as a little bit of a competition, see, can you work out how many I've put in?

  • It's quite interesting.

  • When you're doing an exercise, a written exercise for yourself, or you're trying to learn something, try to do something like that.

  • Include phrasal verbs.

  • We don't have to include them all the time in our speech, in our normal writing, but it's a good way to try and learn how you use them, when you use them, and try and write them in your own essays or compositions.

  • I often give my students an exercise like that to write a piece about the day or the morning or work or something, and try and write it using phrasal verbs.

  • Okay.

  • Well, anyway, getting back to what I was going to talk to you about was weight.
