And the advanced English lesson today, we're looking at different verbs about movement.
Okay, now these will be really important, particularly for those of you who are preparing for exams,
whether it be the FCE or CAE or the IELTS exams,
there are 18 actually, in this particular list, so we'll go through them.
So first one is SOAR.
And when something soars, it goes up very quickly and usually very suddenly, okay, like rockets soar up into the sky.
So when you hear the countdown, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, etc.
And then boom, the rocket will soar up into the sky very, very quickly.
Or prices can soar when there's rampant inflation.
So if the price of petrol goes from two dollars or two euros for a liter up to three dollars or three euros in the space of a few days or weeks,
we might say prices at the petrol pumps have soared recently, they've gone up really, really quickly.
Number two is this word HURTLE.
