In this episode we will look at the following idioms:
1. 'Raining cats and dogs' - It is raining hard.
2. 'All ears' - I am listening.
3. 'Bite the bullet' - Do something uncomfortable.
4. 'Caught red handed' - Caught in the act of doing a crime.

SWE45 Travelling part 4 : Luggage Strap Piggyback (American English)

You just got into bed after a long day, and you're exhausted. You plan to spend a few minutes on your phone — maybe scrolling Instagram or TikTok — and then sleep.

But when you try to sleep, it's not as easy as you thought it would be. You were so tired — what happened?

According to a new study, your phone may be the problem.

The study, done by researchers at New Zealand's University of Otago, involved 85 kids aged 11 to 14. They each spent a week wearing a body camera on their chest starting from three hours before they got into bed.

A second camera was also placed in their bedrooms to monitor their phone use once they were in bed. They also wore a device that tracked their sleep.

The researchers found that 99% of the participants used their phones in the two hours before bed. More than half used their phones while they were in bed, and about a third used their phones after trying to go to sleep.

The results showed that screen time in bed affected participants' sleep — it stopped them from going to sleep for about half an hour, and also reduced the amount of sleep they got.

The impact was larger when participants had a more interactive experience — such as playing a game — or if they used more than one screen. For every additional 10 minutes of this type of screen time, sleep time was reduced by the same amount.

Interestingly, phone use in the two hours before bed had little impact on sleep.

According to lead researcher Bradley Brosnan, the results suggest that, while current guidelines recommend no screen time in the hour or two before bed, keeping phones out of the bedroom might be enough for a better night's sleep.

Привет, друзья! Мой подкаст называется «По-русски легко!». Это значит, здесь я говорю просто и понятно о полезных для вас вещах. Сегодня я расскажу вам о такси в России.
Я часто пользуюсь службой такси Яндекс GO. Это крупная компания. В России есть и другие большие компании: Ситимобил, Максим, Везёт. Ещё есть маленькие компании. Они оказывают услуги такси в конкретных городах и регионах.
Такси очень популярно в России. Вы можете позвонить и вызвать такси. Это просто.
Вы звоните и говорите, где вы сейчас. И куда вы поедете. Оператор по телефону принимает ваш заказ и говорит, когда приедет машина.
А можно заказать такси в приложении. Я думаю, это намного удобнее. Вам не нужно звонить. Выбираете точку на карте, где вы сейчас. Пишете адрес, куда вы хотите поехать.
Если вы хотите съэкономить, то можно выбрать тариф «Эконом». Если любите комфорт, то для вас тариф «Комфорт». Это стоит дороже, но зато вы уверены, что к вам точно приедет удобная иномарка.
Вы можете написать комментарий для водителя. Например, номер вашего подъезда. Или у вас много вещей, и вам нужен пустой багажник.
Есть специальные опция «Заказ такси другому человеку». Если вы едете с ребёнком, то выбираете опцию «Детское кресло». Для поездки с животными нужно обязательно написать «Перевозка домашних животных». Конечно, дополнительные опции делают вашу поездку дороже. Но в целом, такси в России доступно и удобно.
Спасибо! Увидимся на уроке!

По-русски легко!
