  • Where We Teach You American English Heard at the Movies.

  • The 1986 movie Top Gun is about a group of American military pilots training at the Gun Naval Fighter Weapons School student Pete Maverick.

  • Mitchell is a skilful pilot who sometimes ignores rules to have a little fun.

  • On one training flight, he makes a request to an air traffic controller.

  • Listen for the words Buzz, the tower tower.

  • This is Ghost Rider requesting a fly by negative ghostwriter.

  • The pattern is full.

  • No, no, man, this is not a good idea.

  • Sorry, use, but it's time to buy the tower.

  • Yeah, What do you think, Buzz the tower means?

  • Is it flying an aircraft in a way that looks like a bird in flight?

  • Or flying an aircraft unexpectedly low and close to the ground, requesting a fly by negative ghostwriter?

  • The pattern is full.

  • It's time to buy the tower.

  • Sure, the answer is B.

  • Flying an aircraft low and close to the ground, a risky action in real life.

  • A Navy pilot would probably be punished for buzzing the tower, and that's English at the movies.
