| [00:00.60] |
So, how are you feeling, Vera? |
| [00:03.30] |
Oh Thank you for visiting me here in hospital, Rob. |
| [00:08.16] |
I feel awful. Oh my leg is broken, my chin is bruised and my pride is hurt. I had a silly fall while I was skiing over the weekend. |
| [00:22.58] |
Oh, bad luck, really. But your leg will heal and your bruises will disappear soon, Vera. There will be no sign of them in a few weeks' time. |
| [00:32.53] |
Yes, I know Rob. But now I'm in pain. I'm in pain. |
| [00:38.70] |
Oh oh but you'll get better, Vera. Just keep your chin up. |
| [00:42.70] |
Keep my chin up? |
| [00:44.84] |
Keep my chin up might be a new form of treatment. Rob has always been very knowledgeable of these alternative medicines and treatments. |
| [00:55.88] |
Perhaps it is good for circulation. |
| [00:59.47] |
Is it good for circulation, Rob? |
| [01:02.19] |
No Vera, it doesn't help your circulation! Keep your chin up but well, what are you doing? That's not what I mean. |
| [01:10.63] |
It's not what you mean?! My chin is up now. Isn't it high enough? Will it help my bruises disappear, Rob? |
| [01:20.18] |
Not really. But it will make you feel better, Vera. |
| [01:23.15] |
How come, Rob? |
| [01:24.34] |
In English, when we tell someone to keep their chin up, we are telling them to stay positive in a tough situation. |
| [01:31.71] |
Let's listen to some examples. |
| [01:35.24] |
When young people say it is difficult to earn a living nowadays, I tell them to work hard, keep their chin up and they will go places. |
| [01:42.40] |
I've just had an argument with my husband. My daughter said she wants to leave school and my cat ran away. |
| [01:47.84] |
I feel like crying. Sometimes it's hard to keep my chin up. |
| [01:54.50] |
Ah, I've got it. When you want to tell someone to remain positive in a tough situation, you say "keep your chin up" That's a relief, Rob. |
| [02:06.32] |
My chin was feeling even more painful than it was before. |
| [02:10.71] |
Well, you can relax now. And next time you go to some slope for some skiing make sure you stay on the nursery slopes. |
| [02:19.48] |
Nursery? But that's where children do their skiing. That's for kids. |
| [02:24.59] |
No, not just for kids, Vera, for beginners too. Anyway, don't be angry. Keep your chin up. |
| [02:31.90] |
With a lot of training, one day you'll be a great skier. |
| [02:34.59] |
Yes, maybe you are right. If I keep my chin up and train a lot, one day I will be a great skier. |
| [02:43.87] |
Good. Well, bye for now. |
| [02:46.14] |
Bye. |
