  • The English we speak from bbclearningenglish.com hello, this is the English we Speak and I'm Fei Fei.

  • And hello, I'm Rob.

  • Hey, Rob.

  • Watch this.

  • Yeah, Very impressive, Fei Fei.

  • But why are you singing and dancing?

  • Well, I booked a holiday in a lovely hotel with a fantastic swimming pool.

  • Right, and you're celebrating by singing and dancing.

  • Very strange.

  • No, Rob, of course not.

  • There's a problem.

  • The swimming pool is closed for refurbishment and I want to cancel my holiday, but the hotel won't let me.

  • Oh, right, so you're just singing about it.

  • No, Neil told me to call the hotel again and make a song and dance about my reservation, so I'm practicing before I do.

  • Hahaha.

  • Hold on, Fei Fei, don't waste your time.

  • What Neil means by to make a song and dance about it is to make lots of unnecessary fuss about it.

  • Basically to overreact.
