To Bite Off More Than You Can Chew
G’day, guys. How’s it going?
Welcome to The Aussie English Podcast.
If it’s your first time, thank you so much for joining me. Sit back, relax.
I know you guys are going to love the podcast.
Everything Australian here, everything Australian slang, expressions, and you just get to listen to me talking like a real Australian using the English that’s spoken Down Under.
So, this is Aussie English, The Aussie English Podcast, the number one podcast teaching you Australian English, whether you want to understand it and that’s your only objective, or whether you want to learn how to sound like an Aussie.
That is what the podcast is all about.
And that’s what my Facebook page and YouTube channel and website is all about helping you guys to do, to achieve, to allow you to learn to understand Australian English, and to allow you to learn to speak like an Aussie, whether it’s using slang, expressions or our accent.
Anyway, let’s dive into it guys. How has your week been? What you’ve been up to?
I hope you guys have been really productive, working hard, you know, getting things done, kicking goals as we say down under in Australia.
“Kicking goals” like in the sport of football.
Obviously, if you kick a goal you’re succeeding, you’re doing well.
So, if you’re kicking goals in life you’re doing well in life, you’re doing well at life.
You can use both prepositions there. Doing well in life. Doing well at life.
So, what have I been up to this week? I’ve been trying to do a bit of writing up at the Museum.
So, I’ve finished the PhD. One of my markers has gotten back to my supervisor.
So, he has returned the submission of my PhD to my supervisor and to the university, and allowed him to look at the marks.
But I can’t see them yet. I have to wait, I think, until I get the second reviewer’s marks back.
So, I have to reviewers for my thesis. Two people who review my thesis.
They go over my thesis, they go through my thesis, and they mark it.
So, they give it a score. Well, not specifically a score, but they’ll go through it and criticise it.
So, they’ll find points that should be improved, things that could be said better.
Maybe they’ll critique or criticise the methods that I used to achieve the results that I got, and then how I interpreted those.
So, they go through it or they go over it, and they return a list of things that I have to adhere to,
