16 分钟Hello and welcome to the English Like a Native podcast.
My name is Anna and you're listening to week 22,
day one of Your English Five a Day, the second season.
With this series, you're building a habit,
a habit that is taking you steadily towards feeling more confident and more like yourself when communicating in English.
So let's begin.
as we always do, with a snapshot of what's to come.
The new computer system had a critical flaw in its security programming,
which allowed hackers to gain access with lightning-fast speed.
When the main server started to go rogue,
sending unauthorised commands throughout the network,
technicians had to shove all the infected equipment out of the building.
The resulting data loss was horrifying.
costing the company millions and leaving employees without access to their files for weeks.
OK, so let's dive into our vocabulary now, starting with the adjective lightning fast.
Lightning fast.
We spell this lightning.
L-I-G-H-T-N-I-N-G hyphen fast.
F-A-S-T.
Lightning fast.
