  • Hello, and welcome to the English We Speak.

  • I'm feifei, and joining me today is Rob.

  • Rob, wake up.

  • Oh.

  • Oh, yeah.

  • Hi.

  • Hi, everyone.

  • What's wrong, Rob?

  • It's the kids.

  • My house is a mess.

  • Toys, pencils, paint everywhere.

  • And I've been trying to get them to clear everything up.

  • And I guess you haven't been successful.

  • That's right.

  • I shouted at them until I was blue in the face.

  • But the house is still a mess.

  • Rob, you don't look blue to me, just your normal colour.
