Hello and welcome to the English We Speak.
I'm Fei Fei and I'm the new improved Roy.
Wow, Roy, you look really different.
Why are you wearing a suit?
Well, I decided to give some of my old clothes away to charity and start wearing my suit and tie and cut my hair short.
Also, I'm wearing these shoes that have a metal sole to reduce my plastic footprint.
You know that plastic footprint doesn't relate specifically to your shoes, right?
Plastic footprint relates to the amount of plastic you use in your everyday life.

Roy, I've never heard you get angry before.
I'm really impressed you care about plastic footprint.
Well, I only get upset when it relates to the future of the planet.
