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.
