Speaker 1: Hey there, it's Michael here and welcome back to another
Happy English Fraser Verb Friday. I'm here every Friday with
a quick one point English lesson to help you learn
a new phraseal verb and sound more natural when you speak.
Today's Fraser verb is buckled down. It means you start
working seriously and with focus, especially after being lazy or distracted.
You stop wasting time and get things done. You buckle down,
and we tend to say buckle down and do something.
Like my buddy Kevin, he was having fun all summer,
but now that classes started he really needs to buckle
down and study. Or my coworker Amy, she had a
big project deadline coming up, so she buckled down this
week and finished everything on time. And me, I'll be honest,
I've been putting off updating my website, but this weekend
I'm gonna buckle down and finally get it done. So
how about you? Is there something you need to buckle
down and do? Maybe work, study, or a personal goal.
