Hello, English learners, and welcome to English Pod.

My name's Erica, and I'm here with— Marco!

Um, we have a great lesson for you today; we have an elementary lesson.

That's right, an elementary lesson about being in a rush and about giving directions when you're in a car.

We're going to listen to two friends who are getting in a car, and

they're getting ready to go somewhere, and they're in a big hurry.

So let's hurry up and listen to the dialogue.

Oh no, the light is about to change, step on it!

Just go down here, and we'll cut through Ashburn Heights.

So they were in a hurry, and it was all just to get to the library?

Well, maybe he was late returning a book or something.

That's a bit dramatic just for returning a book.

All right, why don't we look at our language takeaway for today?

Okay, on today's language takeaway we have five words for you today, five really important and useful words that we found in our dialogue.

So let's take a look at the first one: step on it.

So what does it mean when I tell you to step on it?

Our second word, speed up, also means go faster.

So our third word for today is having a fit.

I think listening to a few examples of this phrase might help us understand its meaning a little bit better.

Nothing is going to happen if we're five minutes late.

My boss is going to have a fit if I don't finish this on time.

Ugh, I almost had a fit when my boss told me I had to work this weekend.

So, Erica, why don't you tell me, what does it mean when you have a fit?

It means you get really angry and you can't control your emotions.

So maybe you start screaming and maybe some steam comes out of your ears.

Okay, let's take a look at our next word now: cut through.

When you cut through something, it means you just— Go through.

It gives you the idea that you go through something quickly.

So I can say, let's cut through the park.
