Welcome to the English Like a Native podcast, the podcast that aims to improve your listening,
expand your vocabulary and hopefully, in some ways,
entertain and keep you company during whatever task it is you are doing.
My name is Anna and today… you are listening to an off-the-cuff episode.
An off-the-cuff episode is an episode that is not scripted.
It's not entirely planned.
If something is off-the-cuff, then you haven't really planned it.
You might make an off-the-cuff comment,
which would be a comment that just pops into your head and you haven't really thought about it very much.
You just say it.
Sometimes we all do that, don't we?
Get ourselves into lots of trouble.
Anyway, today's topic for our off the cuff episode is asking for attention.
Now, this is particularly with teachers,
presenters and anyone who has to run meetings or deliver information to groups of people.
This is for you.
And this topic came to mind because recently I went to sit in.
on my son's class.
Now, my son is in the first year of primary school or infant school.
