Hi, I'm Yang Li and welcome to the English We Speak.
I'm here today with Jen.
Hi, Jen.
You look a little flustered.
Are you okay?
Oh, I woke up late and had to run to the train station.
There's only one train an hour.
I ran all the way there and made it by the skin of my teeth just as the doors were closing.
Phew.
Is there any coffee?
Hang on, hang on.
How did your teeth help you run for the train?
Sorry?
You said I made it by the skin of my teeth.
I've got to see this.
Show me your teeth.
When did they grow skin?
No, there's no skin on my teeth.
