Hello, and welcome to news Review the program where we take the language from the latest news headlines and show you how to use it in your everyday English.

We've got a story about how a simple bit of exercise I can help you live longer.

BBC radio to bulletin researchers say regular running, no matter how far or how fast, substantially reduces the risk of an early death.

It seemed from Australia, Thailand and Finland examined data on nearly 1/4 of a 1,000,000 people.

And about that, any amount of running was linked to a 27% reduction in mortality.

I hear you run a lot, actually, and so do I.

Obviously on this is great news for us runners.

In fact, we all know that running is give you, but you don't actually do you need to do that much, So this is a surprising bit of news that has just come out from this research.

In fact, a single 50 minute jog of less than six miles per hour is all that you need to do.

One slow, 50 minutes, and they use the word jog.

Okay, Well, you have been looking around on picking out interesting headlines about this story, and you've got three words and expressions.

I have I've got slash premature and run for your life slash premature run for your life.

Okay, let's have your first headline, please.

With slash in it, the first headline is Run for your life.

A weekly one can slash the risk of early death by more than 1/4 research shows.

And this is from the sun, so slash reduced something by a significant amount.

It means cut something violently with a knife.

So normally we would use it to talk about For example, Vandals slashing a painting or slashing through the undergrowth, both of which would be are used in a negative way.

Uh, we probably wouldn't say to slash your birthday cake.

If you did that on when you wouldn't say slash the carrots?

But in this article headline, it's used in a completely different way.

Well, it's used in a more figurative way because it means to reduce the risk off something.

Okay, So just as we use the word cut to mean reduce, we also use the word slash, which has a similar meaning to reduce, but dramatically, dramatically.

On in this case, it's talking about reducing the risk off dying earlier than normal, so we can often use it in a phrase like to slash the risk off something, Um, and often that something is to do with your health.

Something negative isn't Yeah, slash the risk of cancer slash the risk off heart disease, but it can also be used to slash prices.

So the important thing to remember is that you're reducing the amount not by a little, but by a lot of dramatic reduction.

It's also quite a journalistic word, isn't it?

I probably wouldn't say Rob really needs to slash his biscuit intake.

No, I mean it really is a journalistic word.

It has a very kind of you can really see the meaning.

It's it's easy to get across the meaning.

And that's why it's used a lot in headlines.

I mean, he does need to slash his intake of biscuits, but that Yeah, we probably wouldn't use it in that.

Yeah, just stop now it go running once once a week.

Now at our second headline, our second headline is going for a 50 minute job.

Just once a week slashes your risk of a premature death by up to 30% premature earlier than the expected or natural time.

It has the perfect pre wish means before and mature, which means to be ready.

So in for example, my sister was meant to have a baby on August the 31st but she had her baby on August.

The first the baby was fine, but she had a preference.

When a child is born too early, we say premature.

Well, we all know what some people definitely know about the Rugby World Cup at the weekend.

So congratulations to South of Yeah, well done, obviously, was a game between South Africa and England on the England team and I think were not the team necessarily.

But the supporters was celebrating long before the match, but unfortunately they lost.

They should not have started to celebrate.

When they did, they should have waited for the match to finish.

And if they had one, then they should have celebrated.

So before we move on to our final headline, we would like to tell you about another great story about exercise that you can find on our website.
