[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.
