One English Phrasal Verb That Could Change Your Life


Get our free IELTS video training now

Today we have a quote!

-Holding back is so close to stealing.- - Neil Young

To hold back means to withhold or to not do something or to not give something.

This episode is about taking chances in our lives.

You may feel like you can-t be yourself in English.

Maybe you are funny in your native language but you don-t know how to be funny in English so you hold back.

But if you do that then you are -stealing- from the moment as this quote says.

What do you think?

When have you erred on the side of perfection and protection by protecting yourself and when have you erred on the side of connection by taking a chance?

Are You Obsessed with English Learning? Should You Be?


Get our free IELTS video training now

Do you think it-s important to obsess over something to become successful at it?

Another way to say it is - to have tunnel vision.-

Another word for obsession could be -focus- but it has more of a positive connotation.

When we get really focused we have to be careful of burnout.

We could get exhausted.

When it comes to learning English you should chunk down the learning into bite-sized pieces and be sure that you are learning in a way that is fun for you.

One Key Way to Sound More Natural When You Talk About What You Want in English


Get our free IELTS video training!
-
Do you know how to naturally talk about what you want in English?
Native speakers use the verb -to want- in the past tense when we are making a request in the present tense.
For example, you might call a colleague and say - I wanted to confirm our lunch appointment for today.-
This makes the message a bit more polite and more indirect.
We think it-s also used more commonly for women.
