  • Hello and welcome to the English We Speak from BBC Learning English.

  • I'm Fay Fei and hello, it's me, Neil.

  • Are you ok?

  • I can't stop itching.

  • Oh, dear.

  • That's very uncomfortable.

  • What's caused that?

  • Well, it's probably because I've started gardening.

  • I've planted some flowers and I've started growing my own vegetables.

  • I'm impressed.

  • It sounds like you've been bitten by the bug.

  • Yes, bugs in the garden.

  • That's what's causing me to itch.

  • Probably, but I wasn't referring to the actual bugs.

  • When you are bitten by the bug, it means you have become very interested and excited in doing something.

  • We're not actually being bitten by a bug.

  • But in your case, Neil, it looks like you've been bitten by both types of bugs.

  • Yep.
