Hello people and welcome to a new episode. Today we take a look at 10 beautiful turns for advanced and advanced means c1 or c2. Let's go! And before we start, people, don't forget to write a few nice example sentences in the comments below. I'll take a look at them again and correct your mistakes. Well, let's start with number 1. Number 1 is to stand in the way of someone. This can mean that you are really in the way of a person, i.e. that you are preventing them or that you are blocking their plans. For example, he wanted the promotion, but his colleague was in the way of him. Of course, that doesn't mean that the colleague was standing in front of him and he couldn't walk, but probably his colleague got the promotion and not him. Another example, your past is in your way again and again. There is probably a behavior that repeats itself over and over again, and that's why it can't reach its goal. So she's in her own way. Then we have the beautiful turn against the current. If you imagine a river, it always has a current, i.e. it flows in one direction. Now you might already think what it means when you say someone is swimming against the current. In general, it means having a different opinion than the majority or having an unpopular opinion. For example, he always swims against the current and never does what you expect from him. Or she swam against the current by doing alternative therapy. So all people do one therapy for their problem. She chose an alternative form of therapy. So she's swimming against the current. Then we have being on the pulse of time. This means being up-to-date, modern and well informed about current trends and developments. For example, the company is really on the pulse of time when it comes to technology. Or she's always on the pulse of time and knows all the current fashion trends. Then we have a very useful combination of keeping someone up to date. That means informing someone regularly. For example, very simply, I keep you up to date. So that means if there is new information, I will share it with you. Or she always keeps her customers up to date with current offers. Then we have writing something on the flag. I hope you know what a flag is, if not, this is a flag. That means as much as engaging in a certain thing. For example, the organization has written the environmental protection on the flag. Or he wrote on the flag to improve education in his country. Then we have a very nice turn here that you can also use very well in everyday life. Put something on ice. That means as much as temporarily stopping or pausing something temporarily. For example, we have to put the project on ice first. Or because of financial problems, the initiative was put on ice. Then we have sitting in the scene. That means as much as positioning yourself conspicuously to get attention. For example, with her extravagant outfit, she really sat down in the scene. Or he always sits in the scene when the boss is in the room. Then we have taking something for granted. That means as much as taking something literally or seriously without questioning it. You shouldn't take his statement for granted. So you could also say you shouldn't take his statement so seriously. Or she took the rumor for granted and was disappointed when it turned out to be wrong. A rumor is a bit like a theory. Many people talk about it and say it, but you don't know if it's true or not. That's a bit like gossip. Then we have an additional step. That means you do more than was actually necessary or expected. For example, she is willing to take an additional step to satisfy her customers. Or he took the extra step and helped his colleagues on the weekend. We have one more thing and that is completely failing or failing. That means complete or total failure. For example, the project failed on the whole. Or during the exam he failed on the whole. All right, guys, here's a little test for you. You now always see one of these turns and then have three options A, B or C. And here you should please look for the synonym. That means which of these answer options A, B or C has roughly the same meaning as the turn. All right, I hope that worked well. And of course I look forward to your example sentences in the comments below. Well, as always, if you liked the video, leave a like. You know that helps my channel a lot. And we'll see you again soon with a new video. Take care, guys. Adios.
