Rob I don't know why we have to stand up when we present this programme. It's quite tiring. |
| [00:06.18] |
Really? But I thought standing up would give us more energy and sitting down makes us a bit lazy. |
| [00:12.50] |
But I've been standing up all day, this is my only chance to sit down. |
| [00:17.90] |
Why didn't you say. Here, have a chair, take the weight off your feet. |
| [00:23.40] |
The weight? Do you mean I'm heavy and my feet can't carry the weight? |
| [00:28.15] |
Helen don't be so sensitive. I was being kind. It's a way of saying, relax, sit down, especially after standing up for a long time. ? |
| [00:37.45] |
It's got nothing to do with your actual weight. |
| [00:39.72] |
Oh I see. To take the weight off your feet. In that case I will. |
| [00:44.75] |
OK, and here are some other ways of saying the phrase. |
| [00:47.79] |
We've been shopping all day, let's take the weight off our feet, sit down and have a cup of coffee. |
| [00:54.38] |
Don't walk to work today, go on the bus and take the weight off your feet. |
| [01:00.27] |
Those are different ways of taking the weight off your feet. |
| [01:03.16] |
I have to admit Rob, it's very comfortable sitting down. I feel quite relaxed I think I'll put my feet up too. |
| [01:12.61] |
Wow, that's another expression we use, to put our feet up. |
| [01:17.31] |
Again it means rest and relax and literally, put your feet up on the sofa, or in your case, on the desk. |
| [01:24.40] |
Helen you could have taken your shoes off. |
| [01:26.40] |
Sorry. To put your feet up Ahh, lovely. Can we hear some more examples please? |
| [01:32.95] |
Yes Helen. |
| [01:33.88] |
You've been gardening all day, come inside and put your feet up. |
| [01:37.72] |
After working for the company for 30 years, Jim has decided it's time to finally put his feet up and retire. |
| [01:44.85] |
If he's retiring he'll be putting his feet up for a long time. But Helen we've got work to do, so back on your feet. |
| [01:52.25] |
You want me to put the weight on my feet now? |
| [01:54.88] |
I'm afraid so. It's time to go shopping. |
| [01:57.28] |
Shopping. Why didn't you say. |
| [02:01.73] |
Look, I'm back on my feet now. |
| [02:03.90] |
That was quick. OK, best foot forward, off to the supermarket we go, left, right, left right. |
| [02:09.46] |
Yes, the supermarket Helen. Bye! |
| [02:12.80] |
Bye. |
| [02:12.95] |
Come on now . Left, right, left right, keep moving those feet. |
