    Just like you I was born in 1997, and the funny is that I created my first Facebook account in 2016. I don't like to use social media for entertainment purposes like many people, I use it to learn new things specially languages, and to see posts about tatts because I'm a great fan of bodyart. And the sad thing is that many people overuse social media and then they become anxious and worried about how many likes and comments they get in a post and it may lead to some sort of mental stress. Anyway, I loved today's lesson, thank you and keep up the good work ✌️ ☮️

    It’s believed this idiom originated from Arthur Balfour’s appointment as Prime Minister immediately following his uncle, Robert (Bob) Cecil, Lord Salisbury. The idea being that as ‘Bob’ was his uncle, the position was easy for Balfour to attain; hence ‘Bob’s your uncle!’

    Just a quick question. Can I say “ I just had a touch on some knowledge , you need ….” “Touch on “ can be used as a noun.

    • @EnglishwithGemma
      @EnglishwithGemma 2 дня назад

      “To touch ON” is a phrasal verb that means to briefly talk about a certain subject and a “touch OF” something (noun/ quantifier) is how you say “a small amount” of something ☺️

    What about some topics about phrasal verbs... but just one o two in every episode... I know there are a lot of channels touching on that type of topics, but they talk about 20 - 100 phrasal verbs... why not just both of them, and explaining them?

  • @I.am.ashraf
    @I.am.ashraf 3 дня назад

    Change, "but" with "however." Human mind will disregard the statement before "but" and will only focus on the part after it. Her idea is on point, however, the choice of word makes it counterproductive.

    Currently, I am living in Czechia. People like to do this in winter, using a sauna (80 C) for 10 minutes and then jumping into a cold pool or tank (4 C). I did that when I was in Budapest City. It was fantastic, and the sensation was relaxing.
