  • Hello and welcome to The English We Speak with me, Feifei

  • and me, Roy.

  • We may sound a little differentthat's

  • because we are not able to record in our normal

  • studios during the coronavirus outbreak. In this

  • programme we have an expression that means

  • 'you enjoy something more than anything else you do'.

  • Roy, you love video games, don't you?

  • Yes, I love them! I play them all the time!

  • I know! You live for video games!

  • No, I'm an English Teacher. Teaching English is my job.

  • I don't play video games for a living!

  • Roy, I said live for video games, which means

  • you enjoy them more than anything else. Some

  • people live for art, or they live for sports.

  • Ahhh got you. I understandand what do

  • you live for Feifei?

  • I live for music. That's why I always listen

  • to my MP3 player when you're speaking!

  • Now, let's have a look at these examples.

  • Martin loves art so much. He lives for painting.

  • Have you seen his new collection?

  • Cassandra adores doing sports.

  • She lives for football.

  • Denzel loves playing and looking after his

  • kids. He lives for his children. He's an

  • amazing stay-at-home dad.

  • This is The English We Speak from BBC Learning

  • English and we're talking about the expression

  • 'to live for something' which means you

  • 'really enjoy something'. A lot of people also

  • use it to say how excited they are for a specific event.

  • Yes, for example you might say 'I'm living

  • for the weekend', or 'I'm living for a party'.

  • Oh, did Neil invite you to his party?

  • I'm living for it!

  • I thought we couldn't have parties!? We

  • all have to stay at home at the moment.

  • Don't be silly Roy. It's a virtual party.

  • All the cool people are doing it. Maybe that's

  • why you didn't get invited. I'll let you

  • come to the virtual party as long as you don't

  • do anything silly like last time!

  • That wasn't my fault! I misunderstood the invite.

  • I thought it was a fancy-dress party.

  • It was Piotr's wedding!

  • You came dressed like Frankenstein's monster!

  • Oh well, at least I looked cool. Some people

  • said I was more interesting to look at than

  • the bride!

  • You looked ridiculousno wonder people

  • couldn't stop staring at you!

  • Well, I am living for our chat on Friday at

  • the virtual party, Feifei!

  • Well, I might not hear you speaking, because

  • I'll be listening to my MP3 player! Bye, Roy.

  • Bye.

Hello and welcome to The English We Speak with me, Feifei
