Speaker 1: Hey there, it's Michael here and welcome to the very
first Happy English Saturday Short. Every Saturday, i'll be here
with a quick one point English lesson to help you
build your vocabulary, fix common grammar issues, and to help
you sound more natural when you speak. These lessons are short,
just a minute or two, but packed with practical English
you can start using right away. So let's kick things
off with a useful phrasal verb turn down. There are
a number of meanings for turn down, but for today
we use turned down to mean refuse or say no
to something like I had to turn down the job
offer because it was too far away. When Eddie asked
Jenny to go to the party, she turned him down.
Last night at the restaurant, they offered me a second
slice of chocolate cake, and yeah, I didn't turn it down.
No surprise there, right, So how about you what's something
you turned down recently? Leave a comment below on the
blog or come tell me on Instagram at Happy English
and Why, and don't forget to follow or subscribe so
you don't miss the next Happy English podcast and next
week's Saturday Short. Thanks for listening, and until next time,
keep learning and keep it cool.
