0:06 Let's learn how to use the idiom 'a bitter pill' in your conversations!
0:17 Linda, let's talk about the idiom 'a bitter pill'.
0:21 This idiom is used to define something which is unpleasant but inevitable.
0:26 That's right. It is something which must be accepted even if it is not going to be a good experience, or may cause grief.
0:34 The news of our defeat for instance, will be a bitter pill for our sports teacher.
0:40 Absolutely! 'A bitter pill' defines disappointment or humiliation.
0:45 Here's another example: it's a bitter pill for Peter that he hasn't been selected for the scholarship.
0:51 Poor Peter! We can also use the idiom as 'a bitter pill to swallow'.
0:57 ''A bitter pill'' is something which is hard to accept, which is difficult to endure.
1:03 You are correct. For me it'll be a bitter pill to swallow, if I cannot get admitted to St. Peters.
1:10 Hmmm...but if you move to Detroit, your mom and dad will be all alone at home. It'll be a bitter pill to swallow for them if you go away.

1:54 It's a bitter pill but that was inevitable. The chairman should've listened to me.
2:03 Hi Vera, where's your new car?
2:06 Oh! Don't even ask. My son drove it last night and hit a lamp post. It will cost me $3000 to have it fixed.
2:15 Wow! This gotta be a bitter pill to swallow!
2:19 Sure it is. Now I have to work overtime to come up with the money.
2:32 Linda, have you heard about the factory?
2:35 I heard they will shut down two plants.
2:39 Yes, including the one in our town. Many people will be laid off.
2:45 Wow, that's a bitter pill to swallow!
2:49 Especially if we're two of the unemployed!
2:53 We better get back to work and stay alert! I don't want to be chosen for the lay-offs.
2:59 Let's go!
3:05 The news of our defeat for instance, will be a bitter pill for our sports teacher.

Common English mistakes | They're, there and their
source: Crown Academy of English 2015年8月9日
Common mistakes in English are often made with the words "they're", "there" and "their". These words are difficult because they are all pronounced the same but they have different spellings and meanings. They are homophones.
"they're" is the contracted form of "they are".
"there" is an adverb of place and also an introducing subject.
Finally "their" is a possessive adjective used to describe who owns something.
There are some English exercises at the end of the video to test your understanding.

6 tips to ace a Job Interview
source: Learn English with Let's Talk 2013年4月29日
A good Resume and a cover letter may have possibly given you that chance to give an interview. But once you're in there, you have less than probably half an hour to make your mark and set yourself apart from other qualified candidates for the job. So, preparing for the pre-interview, interview and post --interview stage is imperative. Here are a few basics you need to keep in mind,
1. Good appearance: Remember, first impression is the last impression. You definitely want to leave a lasting impression on your potential employer. You can begin by appearing good. Whatever your gender, you might want to stick to formal clothing. Yes, while you're at it, make sure they are comfortable, clean and well pressed. Guys can opt for a tie. Go with neutral or monochrome colors. Ditch the bright oranges, neon blues and the bright purples for another event!!! You might also want to do away with any body piercings you have. Girls, please tone down on the makeup! Always remember-Less is more!!!
2. Be punctual: Punctuality is one of the main pre-requisites for many hiring managers. Arriving punctually also reduces a great deal of stress. Don't be late, but then don't be too early either. Make sure you reach your interview at least 10-15 mins in advance. To do this, you need to make sure you have the correct address a day in advance of the interview. If you're driving, figure out the parking lot and the time it takes you to walk it to the nearest elevator. It could save you a good 10 minutes. If you are using the public transportation, make sure you keep record of the bus routes and train timings a day or two in advance.
3. Sell yourself: Believe it or not-"SELLING YOURSELF" is the part which will set you apart from all those other candidates. This means you carry your credentials with you-a copy of your resume to begin with. It's also a good idea to carry your work from the previous employment which includes appreciation emails from clients, thank you notes from customers, awards you've bagged, etc. It shows that you've taken the extra effort to make that mark. Show them how your skills will make your job easier for you.
4. Body Gestures: Now that you've finally arrived, you want to appear professional. I don't mean by what you wear, but how you conduct yourself. Your body gestures play a big part here. No matter what your attire is-when you enter, you must always wear a nice, BIG smile. Your handshake must be firm-not extra strong or weak and clammy. Always make eye contact-which shows that you are an honest person and you're one that accepts feedback. Make sure you don't turn your eye contact into an ugly glare which borders on threat. But then, don't completely look away from your interviewer which actually shows low self-esteem. Your sitting posture is very important-sit with your back erect-No body wants to hire a slouch. While speaking, make sure you have open hand movements or gestures which show that you're a person who is easily approachable. Don't folds your arms which give you a closed and reserved look.
5. Ask questions: Asking the right questions is very important. These questions mainly help you clear your doubts or apprehensions about starting a new job. It could be questions related to the company (its policies, corporate ethics, pay structure, etc) or the job itself so that you're aware of the specific skills involved. This shows your interest in being a part of the organization. Questions relating to the job also show that you want to make sure you're an asset to the company by bringing in your skills-technical or communicative to do a good job while you're on board!
6. Follow up-No matter how the interview goes-always follow up! You can do this a week after the interview. Always thank your interviewer for the opportunity they gave you-no matter what the outcome is. The feed back they give you will always help you discern your strengths and weaknesses.
Common English Verbs: HAVE and HAVE GOT
source: Espresso English 2012年10月27日
There are two ways to make the negative form of the verb HAVE or HAS: Don't have / Doesn't have Haven't / Hasn't
When "have" is the main verb (meaning possession), then the negative form is "don't have / doesn't have."
When "have" is the auxiliary verb (like in the present perfect) then use "haven't / hasn't":
Either "have" or "have got" can be used when "have" is the main verb (in the case of possession):

0:06 In this lesson we will learn the phrases that you can use to express your negative emotions to your friends and loved ones.
0:20 Gosh! My tooth has been killing me.
0:23 You might have a cavity. You should go to the dentist as soon as possible.
0:27 No way. I'm afraid of seeing the dentist. I always get a bad feeling. I try to avoid it like the plague.
0:34 Come on. Don't be a chicken! It won't be that bad!
0:39 I'm not a chicken! But I'll do anything to stay away from a dental clinic.
0:43 Even let the cavity eat your whole tooth?
0:47 Dentists scare me more than the cavity.
0:50 You can't be serious!
0:59 Hey, you look very upset. What's going on?
1:02 I'm anxious about the final exams. I don't know if I can pass them.
1:07 Aren't you studying?
1:09 I am! But I don't take exams well. I always panic.
1:13 Well, don't worry too much. You still have three days ahead.
1:17 Yeah, but three days aren't enough to cover the entire syllabus. These days will be gone in the blink of an eye.
1:24 I think the best thing to do now is try to remain calm.
1:34 What's happening between your girlfriend and you? You guys fight all the time these days.
1:39 What are you saying?
1:41 Well, the whole office is talking about it. Why do you fight in public places?
1:47 I can't stand her anymore. She's a crazy woman. Even a bit of friendly advice sets her off.
1:53 So, what did you tell her?
1:56 I told her she had to stay away from the new assistant manager. He's not a nice guy to hang around with.
2:02 She thought I was being jealous of her friendship with him. Can you believe that?!
2:06 Well, I can. You do sound a bit jealous.
2:11 And you sound like her!
2:18 Why were you oddly looking at him while he was talking?
2:23 Well, I'm sure he lied to me about last night. I was trying to read his face.
2:28 Why do you say that?
2:30 He wasn't looking at me while talking. I'm sure he was hiding something.
2:35 Well, you shouldn't be so suspicious of people. Just relax and stop thinking that there's always something wrong!
2:44 Perhaps you're right. Maybe I think too much about things.
2:51 No way. I'm afraid of seeing the dentist.
2:58 I always get a bad feeling. I try to avoid it like the plague.
3:08 Dentists scare me more than the cavity.
3:16 I'm anxious about the final exams.
3:25 But I don't take exams well. I always panic.
3:35 I can't stand her anymore.
3:40 Even a bit of friendly advice sets her off. Can you believe that?!
3:53 He wasn't looking at me while talking. I'm sure he was hiding something.
TOO and ENOUGH | Use and meaning in English
source: Crown Academy of English 2015年6月21日
Both "too" and "enough" describe the degree of something. We can use them both to modify adjectives, adverbs and nouns. There are plenty of examples and explanations in the lesson.
You will also learn the rules of where to position "too" and "enough" with respect to the word they are modifying.
I briefly explain the difference as to how we use "too many" to modify countable nouns and "too much" for uncountable nouns.
There are several English exercises at the end of the lesson to test your understanding.

0:05 Hello, Neil, and what a glorious sunny day it is today.
0:07 Not a cloud in the sky!
0:09 Spring is definitely here!
0:10 Now, Neil, you’re a bit of a sun worshipper, aren’t you?
0:14 You like sunbathing…
0:15 I do indeed!
0:16 I love sitting in my deckchair in the garden, catching some rays…
0:20 Hmm, yes, you look a bit orange actually.
0:22 Are you sure that tan's not fake?
0:24 Very cheeky, Rob, very cheeky…
0:26 Now the reason I mentioned sunbathing is because we’re discussing the sun in this programme.
0:31 Yes, that’s right.
0:32 The sun is our nearest star – although it’s a staggering 150 million kilometres away.
0:40 Earth is one of nine planets that orbit – or circle around – the sun.
0:44 And life on Earth couldn’t exist without its warmth and light.
0:49 And we should mention… the sun is absolutely massive.
0:53 Its volume is so large you could fit a million Earths inside it.
0:58 That’s amazing!
1:00 It’s also incredibly hot.
1:03 Hotter than anything you could imagine.
1:05 So Neil, can you answer this question: How hot is the surface of the sun?
1:11 Now I’ll help you out by telling you that the sun’s core – that’s the centre – is
1:16 a blistering five million degrees Celsius.
1:20 But how hot is the sun’s surface?
1:23 Is it ... a) 1.5 billion degrees Celsius
1:26 b) 1.5 million degrees Celsius or c) 5500 degrees Celsius
1:33 Hmm.
1:34 I have no idea.
1:36 They all sound quite warm to me.
1:38 But … I think it must be a bit cooler than the core.
1:42 So I’m going to go for 1.5 million degrees.
1:46 Okay.
1:47 Well, we'll find out if you're right or wrong later on.
1:50 But now let’s listen to Professor of Solar Physics Louise Harra to discover what the
1:56 sun is made of.
1:58 It’s just a big ball of gas.
2:01 And we measure it… it’s made mostly of hydrogen.
2:04 So it’s roughly 90% hydrogen, it’s maybe 8% helium, and the rest of it’s made up
2:10 of things like iron, carbon, oxygen, nickel.
2:14 So the main gas is hydrogen, which accounts for 90% of the sun’s matter.
2:20 Now, 'matter' means what something is made of.
2:24 And hydrogen creates all the sun’s energy.
2:28 Heat and light energy is created all the time in the sun’s core as a result of gas explosions
2:33 or nuclear reactions.
2:36 And this bit is hard to believe – it takes a hundred thousand years for this light energy
2:42 to travel from the sun’s core to the sun’s surface.
2:45 But once it reaches the sun’s surface – the photosphere – it can escape.
2:51 In fact, it takes only eight minutes for light energy from the sun to reach the Earth.
2:56 Scientists these days are able to see the photosphere in fantastic detail using powerful
3:03 telescopes.
3:04 Though Galileo observed dark spots on the sun through his telescope several hundred
3:08 Which brings us on to another question: How old is the sun?
3:13 Well, I happen to know that it came into being around four and a half billion years ago.
3:20 Did you study solar physics at university, Neil?
3:22 No, just… you know, just general knowledge.
3:25 Well, the sun came into being – or was created – a very long time ago!
3:30 We’re going to hear now from Professor of Physics, Yvonne Elseworth.
3:34 What does she say about how long the sun is going to stay the same?
3:39 In terms of its current lifestyle it’s here for as long again, so we’re about half way
3:44 through.
3:45 And then it becomes a different sort of star – it becomes a giant star and that’s probably
3:49 curtains for us, actually.
3:51 It’ll get a bit warm, a bit toasty, and we’ll get enveloped in the sun, and it won’t
3:57 be nice...
3:58 So the sun is going to stay the same for another four and a half billion years.
4:04 But the professor also says that the sun will change.
4:08 When it becomes a giant star, it will becurtains for our planet – and ‘curtains’ means
4:14 the end, I’m afraid!
4:16 Yes, it does.
4:17 And as a giant star, the sun will get hotter – it will make the Earth toasty.
4:22 Now, toasty usually means hot in a nice way.
4:25 That’s right – for example, my toes are warm and toasty in my new slippers.
4:30 But in reality the giant sun will make the Earth unbearably hot.
4:36 It will surround – or envelop – our planet and burn it up.
4:40 Well, I’m glad we’re not going to be around when that happens.
4:44 Now, remember at the beginning of the show I asked you how hot the sun’s surface is?
4:51 Is it a) 1.5 billion b) 1.5 million or c) 5500 degrees Celsius?
4:59 And I said 1.5 million…
5:01 It’s way too hot, I’m afraid you were wrong.
5:03 The answer is actually 5500 degrees Celsius.
5:08 But still, if you’re planning on visiting the sun, remember to take your sunglasses
5:12 and plenty of sunscreen!
5:14 Now, before we go, it’s time to remind ourselves of some of the vocabulary that we’ve heard
5:20 today.
5:21 Neil.
5:22 orbit massive
5:27 core energy
5:30 matter photosphere
5:38 come into being curtains for something
5:45 toasty envelop
