TRANSCRIPT
Narrator
Hello. It's time for English at University – we're following Mary through her first year of study abroad and helping her and you learn some useful phrases. University life is not all work and no play – it's about having fun too and today Mary needs some persuading to let her hair down – you know, relax and enjoy herself with some extracurricular activities. And someone who knows most about doing that is her roommate Abi…
Abi
Still studying Mary? You look glued to that desk.
Mary
Yes, I think I am. I'm just writing up my notes and then I've got to read Professor Not's new book… and then I’ve got to…
Abi
Bla bla bla! I don't know what you're saying. It really is time to chillax… have a break. Come on… you're coming with me.
Mary
Phew! It's hot in here. Oh hello Professor and hello Sharon.
Prof. Not and Sharon
Hello Mary.
Abi
Now, this is Bikram yoga – it'll keep you fit and help you lose weight. And that guy over there's quite fit too!
Sharon
I've lost a kilo in a month haven't I Robert… I mean-?
Prof.Not
Err yes. It improves your mind too Mary.
Yoga teacher
Welcome everyone. Let's begin. Just follow me… first of all, stand straight and breathe deeply… in… out… hold it there… good… next stretch your arms out, then slowly bend to touch your toes.
Prof. Not
Oh no… I seemed to have pulled something in my back. Sharon, could you give me a hand…
Sharon
Oh you've gone a funny colour. Oh he's so heavy. Abi could you give me a hand? Mary, can you call for help.
Mary
Yes of course… oh what should I do?
Narrator
You need to call the medical centre and tell them there's an emergency. Explain what's happened and ask for someone to come and help 'asap' – as soon as possible. Go on Mary, get calling!
Mary
Right ok. Yes hello. Is that the medical centre? Good. We have an emergency in the yoga class… in the sports hall. Professor Not has hurt his back and he needs help. Yes, he bent over and couldn't stand up again… I'll ask him. She says 'does it hurt?'
Prof. Not
Oww. Yes! When are they coming?
Mary
He says 'yes'. How long do you think you'll be? Really? Please could you come as soon as possible.
Sharon
Ask them what we should do until they get here?
Mary
Right, yes… Is there anything we can do before you arrive? Yes, aha, right. I'll do that. Thank you. Bye.
Sharon
What did they say?
Mary
They said 'chill out' – whatever that means!
Narrator
Goodness. What a drama! It looks like Professor Not's attempt to unwind has gone too far but luckily help is on its way thanks to these phrases that Mary used…
We have an emergency in the yoga class. We need help.
How long do you think you'll be?
Please could you come as soon as possible.
Is there anything we can do before you arrive?
You can practise these phrases, pick up a few more plus learn some top tips for studying in the UK on our website at bbclearningenglish.com.
Right, let's see if help has arrived for Professor Not…
Sharon
You hold his feet and I'll hold his head and we'll get him into the ambulance.
Daniel
Oh hello do you need a hand? Oh, what's going on here then – and why are you all sweaty?
Sharon
Robert bent over too far…
Mary
…in yoga… Bikram yoga. He's hurt his back.
Daniel
Yoga! That's for girls isn't it?!
Mary
No! Abi, do you know what, I've really enjoyed myself today.
Abi
Good, feeling more relaxed I hope. So, are you going to join the yoga club then?
Mary
Definitely.
Daniel
How much is it to join exactly?

To jump off the deep end means to do something drastic with an unexpected result.
I really hate my job so I'm going to jump off the deep end and quit before finding a new one.
Keep Your Eye On The Ball
This is a baseball term that means to focus. Hitting a baseball is one of the hardest things to do in sports and you must watch the ball closely to hit it.
If you keep your eye on the ball and study hard, you will get fluent in English faster!
Jump The Gun
This is an idiom from running that means to do something too quickly. Because races usually begin with a shot from a gun, to begin before the shot is fired is to start early and illegally.
I jumped the gun on buying a house before I new I would get my new job.

A level playing field means that things are equal and fair.
We have a level playing field at our company. Anyone can get promoted if they work hard.

This is a golf term that means the number of strokes needed to put the ball in the hole. Par for the course is average or expected.

Behind The Eight Ball
This is a pool term that means to be at a disadvantage.
I was behind the eight ball when I realized that I'd overslept and missed my bus!
A Ballpark Figure
A ballpark figure is a general estimate of something. Most sports fields are huge, so we give general numbers about things like the number of people in them, or the number of hotdogs sold at a game.
I don't need an exact price for the cost of the new building. Just give me a ballpark figure.
Dive In Headfirst
To dive in headfirst means to do something impulsively, or without thinking.
I dove in headfirst, quit my job and began a one year trip of Asia!
