The English we speak from BBC Learning English.
Morning, Neil.
In a rush today, were you?
Just a bit, Fei Fei.
You know, kids, breakfast, commute, the usual.
Why?
Well, I noticed your shirt isn't ironed.
Very attentive of you.
And your shirt has ketchup on it.
Ah, you.
Yes.
Beans for breakfast.
And you haven't shaved, have you?
Well, no.
You really do need to make more of an effort, Fei Fei.
Why are you having a go at me?
Relax, Neil.
I'm just giving you the opportunity to use the phrase we're teaching, which is have a go.
Well, that's a relief.
To have a go at someone, as we've just seen, means to criticise someone.
