  • Hello and welcome to the English We Speak.

  • I'm Fei.

  • Fei.

  • And I'm Roy.

  • My legs are really aching.

  • I've been standing all day.

  • Well, there's an easy fix for that.

  • Roy, sit down.

  • No, sorry, I can't.

  • I want to be at the front of the queue when we go to watch Rob's Biscuit Band tonight.

  • Firstly, I'm not going with you.

  • Secondly, I think you've mixed up front of the queue with frontliner,

  • which is a word we're talking about in this program.

  • Ah, right.

  • A frontliner is a person who works in an advanced position.

  • It's been mentioned quite a lot recently due to the coronavirus pandemic.

  • Yes.

  • Doctors and nurses who have direct contact with patients are sometimes referred to as frontliners.
