easy english expression rehashed hello everybody my name is coach shane and welcome to easy english expressions come on let's master english hey everybody coach shane here e cube number 502 coming at you

Kind of similar to yesterday, but it's not. Enjoy. Let's go back in time. Now yesterday, do you remember what we studied? We studied about a bug. Yeah, and cockroaches are bugs.

But also if we have a new software for our computer or our cell phone and there's a problem, that is also called a bug. Well, today there's one more bug that I want to tell you about and it is a really bad bug.

It's the flu. There's a bug going around. Don't catch the bug. There's a bug going around. So once again, it means the flu, but not just the flu. Any virus.

Yeah, a virus. A virus. V-I-R-U-S. It's like a bug, an insect. And if a virus gets into your body, oh, it can cause problems. There are many types of bugs.

The flu. Influenza. That's the most common. But you could have a bug in your stomach or your intestines, right? We could call that an intestinal bug. You could get a bug in your brain.

Yeah, a virus in your brain. It's possible. It's scary. Yeah, bugs are scary. Bugs in your computer are scary. Bugs in your kitchen are scary. And bugs in your body are scary.

Check out the dialogue. Wash your hands with soap. All right. There's a bug going around. Okay. Yeah. Do you have a mother? We all have mothers. And usually our mothers tell us, wash your hands with soap.

Actually, our wives tell us that all the time, too. Wash your hands with soap. Clean under your fingernails. Oh, leave me alone. I'm a grown man. You don't have to tell me what to do.

But it's true. If you wash your hands after you go outside, especially in a public place, washing your hands will definitely help you stay healthy. It'll hopefully kill those bugs, get rid of all those viruses.

Yeah, I don't know. Do you wash your hands a lot? Every day, every time you go outside and come inside, do you wash your hands? Do you wash your hands before you eat?

Do you wash your hands after you go to the bathroom? Yeah. How often do you wash your hands? I'm curious. Me? You know, I'm a regular guy. So what does that mean?

Does that mean I'm dirty or clean? Yeah. I guess I'm pretty good. I could be better, of course. But, you know, I'm from the old world. And... Bugs are good.

Bugs make you stronger. Sometimes I think that, but so far I've been pretty lucky. I haven't had a really bad virus in many, many years. I think the last really bad virus that I had, the last bad bug that I had was probably 10 years ago.

Keep my fingers crossed. Knock on wood. Yeah, I better wash my hands. I think I'm going to go wash my hands right now. Lots of dirty things in the world.

Be careful, everybody. Now, right now, it's the change of season in the northern hemisphere. We're going from summer to fall. The weather's changing. Our immune system is not as strong.

So be careful. Wash your hands during this change of season. Don't catch a bug. I do not want you guys getting sick. Stay healthy, okay? That's today's expression.

I want you to check out the dialogue two more times. Wash your hands with soap. All right. There's a bug going around. Okay. I got it. Wash your hands with soap.

All right. There's a bug going around. Okay. I got it. Thanks so much for listening. Make sure to check out our webpage, www.letsmasterenglish.com. Try a free lesson.
