  • Hello and welcome to the English We Speak.

  • I'm Feifei.

  • And I'm Neil.

  • Hey, Feifei, it sounds like you might have a cold.

  • I think I have sore throat, blocked nose.

  • I feel terrible.

  • That's why I'm taking this medicine.

  • That's probably a good idea.

  • Medicine is usually good for making you feel better.

  • How does it taste?

  • Well, it's supposed to taste of strawberries, but to be honest, it's just horrible.

  • That's why I never take the stuff.

  • It's disgusting.

  • Have you heard the phrase a taste of your own medicine?

  • No.

  • Does it mean doing something horrible or unpleasant?

  • Sort of.
