14 分钟Hello and welcome to the English Like A Native Podcast.
My name is Anna and you're listening to Week 44, Day 4 of your English Fiver Day, the second season.
Climb aboard, sit down, buckle up.
and get ready for another little journey into the English language world.
We are heading up the mountain,
step by step you are improving your listening skills, engaging more with the language,
increasing your passive vocabulary which I hope in time you will turn into active vocabulary and all I want you to do is to look out of the window,
listen and enjoy the ride.
So, without further ado, let's begin today's episode with a snapshot.
The tedium of her part-time job made Anna secretly resent every shift behind the supermarket till.
Still,
she reminded herself that she was paying her way through university one long evening at a time.
When she finally landed her dream internship, she realised the struggle had paid off.
It had been the gateway to her future.
Fabulous.
Let's dive into our vocabulary.
Starting with that interesting noun, tedium.
tedium.
We spell this T-E-D-I-U-M.
So tedium means the quality.
