Learn Advanced English Words and Expressions from a News Article

Mastering Native Expressions for Fluency Achieving fluency in English involves understanding idiomatic expressions used by native speakers. For instance, instead of saying 'let's leave,' a native speaker might say 'let's hit the road.' Similarly, rather than stating they are very busy, natives would say they're always on the run.

Understanding and Practicing Pronunciation Correct pronunciation is crucial; words like 'launch' (as opposed to lunch) need careful attention. Practice with similar vowel sounds helps distinguish between them effectively: bot/bought or cut/caught.

Learning Idioms from Contextual Examples 'Hit the road' means to start a journey while being ‘on the run’ signifies constant busyness. The phrase ‘par for the course,’ originating from golf terminology, denotes something typical or expected.

Applying New Vocabulary in Real-Life Scenarios 'Joint' refers to casual eateries like burger joints whereas phrases such as ‘in the midst of’ mean during an event or situation. To lure someone implies attracting them enticingly despite potential woes—problems faced due to inflation and wage increases affecting fast food pricing strategies.
