Hello, and welcome to Speak good English with me, Yishu. For the last four days, we talked about news around the world. Yes, today’s we are back on our piece of authentic English. We are going to learn a new phrase today. My friend is entering his pot into a pottery competition. When I tell him to ‘smash it’, I don’t actually want him to break it! So, what do I mean? Let’s find out together.
Actually, when I say ‘go and smash it!’, I don’t mean physically smash it – I mean, go and win. When we tell someone to ‘smash it’ we don’t always mean 'break it'. It can mean 'to succeed or do something very well'. We say it to give encouragement.
Let’s hear some examples to have a better understanding.
- My favorite football team has smashed it and won the cup!
- She’s smashed it in her exams and passed every single one.
- You’ve trained so hard for the race; you’re going to smash it.
This is Speak good English with Yishu., and we’re hearing about the phrase ‘smash it’, which describes succeeding in something or doing something very well. And let’s hope my friend smashes it in his pottery competition.
Ok, that's our piece of authentic English for today. See you soon and bye!
