Awesome, guys! Sometimes I think my phone is just a part of my hand. I'd say I'm totally addicted to it with all those apps and ebooks and recipes. By the way you're among my favorite podcasts.

good evening; you have proposed: " I'm addicted to my phone". can I say :I'm hoocked on my phone. Nowaday , we are all of us addicted to our phones . My daughter waists her time for watching pet

Good question and good idea! Honestly, these days we use 'I am hooked on' when we really really like a TV show, or some kind of entertainment. For example: "I saw 1 episode of that new Netflix show and I was hooked". More seriously, we use 'hooked on' for drug addiction too. Such as: "He is hooked on cigarettes and he can't quit." So I wouldn't use this phrase to talk about phones actually. Hope that makes sense!

南无阿弥陀佛,感恩两位老师的辛苦付出,我是刚刚来美国弘扬佛法的曾经的一名大学教授,今年55岁,由于英语口语和听力很差,自学英语口语和听力大概三个月了,很偶然的机会看到你们的视频,非常喜欢,因为这种形式和方式非常的好,特别实用。我一口气连连几天几乎把你们的视频全部看完了,对我的英语水平帮助很大。我会每天都坚持跟着你们学习的。我之所以用中文评论,是为了告诉你们,在世界各地有不同的地方不同的人在跟你们学习。你们的付出和劳动是值得的。最后,祝两位老师幸福平安,万事如意,南无阿弥陀佛!

Нi guys, you're making an amazing duet. I'm so excited I've come across your videos. After watching the first one I've subscribed to your channel. Now I see that natives' everyday speech is quite plain and clear without kind of sophisticated vocabulary we learn at school. Thank you so much for teaching real English we can use in the most common situations. Looking forward to your new videos.

Hey, teachers 😊! I think we're all addicted to our phones. But children are much more than adults usually. I have some sort of immunity to this kind of addition (it's simply my age, when I got my first mobile, it was in 2006). At that time I gave birth to my second son and was so happy to have a new phone, so I could listen to music and so on, while my baby was sleeping. And these days I try to cut off my time on social media, and it's hard because of all these things that you've described in this lesson. So, I think it's our reality and we can take all positive things and try to avoid the other stuff. Thanks a lot for this great lesson 👏. I love your style of teaching ❤, it's super cool!

I think my tablet usage is too much as well:-) I do not like that and trying to cut back on the usage of it sometimes. Though, I justify myself that I use this for English learning:-) I check different you tube vedoes , watch movies in English and so on. Luckily, I am not into social media and they are not addictive to me, though sometimes can just scroll Instagram reels, so I got that :-)actually, the problem can be full storage , the internet lagging , bad voice quality and so on , that really get on my nerves😂

Fruitful lesson once again thanks for this. Could you please tell me the meaning of Act For because it has so many meanings.
@highlevellistening
@highlevellistening Месяц назад
"Act for" is not a phrase I use very often, honestly. The most common case is when you're in court and a lawyer "acts for" you. You can see an example here: www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/us/definition/english/act-for#:~:text=act%20for-,phrasal%20verb,continuing%20to%20act%20for%20him. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any other common uses.

Does 'can' t help being drawn into my phone' sound as natural as 'can't help but be drawn..'
@highlevellistening
@highlevellistening Месяц назад
Good question! I would say that: "I can't help being drawn into my phone" feels a little more conversational. But: "I couldn't help but be drawn into my phone." is something I would read in a book. I hope that makes sense!

Hi , Is it pick up used for a person? I mean pick up your manager I wanna see him.
@highlevellistening
@highlevellistening Месяц назад
You can use "pick up" to mean "to collect" someone from another place, usually with a car or a vehicle. For example, if you are waiting at the airport. I can drive my car to you and [pick you up], then drive us home together. But if you are just in an office, a cafe, or a store and the manager is in another room, I would say: - "Can you [go and get] your manager. I want to see him." - "Could you [go and find] your manager. I want to see him." Hope that helps!

@highlevellistening
@highlevellistening Месяц назад
Good question - we can definitely used "obsessed with" For example: "I'm obsessed with my phone, I need to use it less." Obsessed with has a negative feeling. It's something we want to stop doing, or it's a bad habit. BUT, you can also use it to talk about a singer, a TV show, or a celebrity that you really really really enjoy. "I'm obsessed with Olivia Rodriguez's new album, I've listened to it at least 20 times."
