18 分钟Hey English learners, welcome to another phrasal verb episode.
I hope you're doing great.
and that you're excited to practice with a couple more phrasal verbs today.
In this episode, we're going to talk about two phrasal verbs.
The first one is burn off and the second one is burst into.
So first let's define these phrasal verbs and see an example of each one.
So burn off refers to doing exercise
because you want to lose weight that you gained from eating some food.
So we would usually burn off food or burn off weight or burn off calories.
You'll usually hear this in those contexts.
For example, I could say, I'm eating a lot now, but I'll burn it off later at the gym.
So in this case, I'm saying that I'm currently in the middle of a big meal where I'm eating a lot,
but it's okay
because I'm gonna go to the gym later and burn these calories so that I don't gain weight.
So that's burn off.
burst into means to suddenly produce something.
Specifically, you'll hear it with the words laughter, tears, applause, or flames.
Those are the four times when you'll hear it the most.
There might be other ones that I'm forgetting here, but usually it will be one of these things.
So...
