In this podcast for adult, independent English learners we look at the use of makeup (noun) and which verbs are often used with it. In addition, we ask when make up (phrasal verb) is used as a verb, and of course, it wouldn’t be English if there were no exceptions to the rules! Listen to the end of the podcast to hear the exception! I hope this is helpful.

第八集  古诗 静夜思

Picture this: You’re drowning in a sea of commitments, juggling work, family, and personal life. Your plate is overflowing, but you keep saying ‘yes’ to more. Sound familiar? We’ve all been there, my friend. The good news is that you can learn the art of saying ‘no’ without guilt and regain control of your life.

The ‘Yes’ Epidemic
Before we delve into the fine art of ‘no,’ let’s address the ‘yes’ epidemic. It’s a modern plague that we’ve all fallen victim to at some point. Fueled by the fear of disappointing others or missing out, we nod our heads like bobbleheads on steroids. Saying ‘yes’ to everything is a recipe for burnout, my fellow ‘yes’-aholics!
