  • Hello and welcome to the English We Speak.

  • I'm Fei Fei and hello, I'm Rob.

  • Rob, what's the smell?

  • Are you cooking something?

  • Yes, it's my favourite roast beef.

  • Yummy Roast beef.

  • This isn't really the time to be cooking.

  • Well, you said let's do roast today, so I thought I'd make a start.

  • Just got to do the roast potatoes now.

  • Rob, stop.

  • I meant let's do the word roast.

  • Oh, right.

  • Well, this is a good example of roasting.

  • No, Rob, it's not the meaning I had in mind.

  • Roasting is not just about cooking food in an oven.

  • We can roast people by criticising them harshly.

  • So, Rob, you were very foolish to start cooking something while we're presenting a programme.

  • Oh, am I being roasted now?
