Welcome to the English We Speak.
I'm Jiayin and.
Hello, I'm Neil.
Jiayin, there's a bit of a problem.
Oh, no.
What's wrong?
We've almost run out of tea bags.
There's just one left.
What are we going to do?
Don't panic, Neil.
We're just going to have to eke out the last one and share the tea bag.
Eat out.
Eek.
Are you ok?
Have you seen a mouse?
No, Neil.
Eek.
To eek out means to make the supply of something last a bit longer by using it carefully.
