• Keep in touch/ keep in contact
• Bumping into

• Urgent & emergency 
• Stocktaking & taking stock  

- - REVIEW - -

It is easy to KEEP IN TOUCH with my friend, when I always BUMP INTO them walking their dog who loves URGENTLY BARKING at me every weekend.

My job is a stock investor and my hobby is hiking.  Last weekend after my last STOCK TAKING of the day, I ended up in the EMERGENCY room after a tree fell on my leg. I told the doctor the tree BARK scratched my skin, but the x-ray showed a broken bone. The doctor insisted to KEEP IN CONTACT if I experience new pain and to stay in the hospital for URGENT care.

Thank you for your time!

Please contact me for a copy of today’s script or video.

ACL Podcast🎙episode #47

It's the biggest thing in the night sky, so it's no surprise the moon appears in many English expressions. Here are a few examples.

If someone says they "love you to the moon and back," it means they love you very much, because their love is as large as the distance between the Earth and the moon – an average of 384,000 kilometers.

This expression is used in Guess How Much I Love You, a 2008 children's book by Sam McBratney. It's usually said to romantic partners or people in your family.

If someone is talking "moonshine" it means they're talking about something that isn't real or is foolish. But more often someone will offer you a drink of "moonshine," which is a word used in the US for illegal liquor.

If something doesn't happen very often, it can be said to only happen "once in a blue moon." A "blue moon" isn't really blue – it's either when a second full moon is seen in the same month, or the third full moon when four full moons are seen in the same season.

Both types of blue moon don't happen very often, only about once every 2.7 years.
