18 分钟Hi there,
this is Harry and welcome back to Advanced English Lessons with Harry where I try to help you to get a better understanding of the English language.
So, anything that you need, you know where to contact me, www.englishlessons.com.
I'm always very, very happy to hear from you.
So in today's Advanced English Lesson,
well in fact today I think it's more to do with intermediate to advanced so it's not so difficult,
we're going to take a look at useful phrases using out.
so every expression every phrase will start with out of so there are 40 I'll go through them one by one and I give you an example when you can use these okay number one Out of breath.
Well, when we are out of breath, we've probably been exercising over extended period of time.
So if you're running hard or for a long distance, you will be out of breath.
If you're cycling a long distance or even some people
as they get a little bit older walking up the stairs,
they end up being out of breath.
And you have to take what we call a breather, a small break until you get your breath.
back okay so to be out of breath means to be panting or tired or you've worked really really hard in the garden on that run on that walk whatever it might be oh wait for me i'm out of breath and of course people who smoke heavily you know even walking short distances they can get out of breath so a very good reason why you should never never smoke so to be out of breath Number two,
out of order.
Well, this is a sign we see in many,
many places on the lift or escalator or elevator out of order when they used to have old telephone boxes in the streets.
out of order or the announcement from the train that the railway station is out of order,
something that's not working, the coffee machine out of order.
