  • Feifei: Hello and welcome to The English

  • We Speak. I'm Feifei.

  • Rob: And hello I'm Rob.

  • Feifei: You're looking pleased

  • with yourself, Rob.

  • Rob: I am! I've finished all of my work.

  • Feifei: Really. All of it?

  • Rob: Yes. Scripts written, programmes

  • recorded and edited, meetings cancelled -

  • I think I deserve a cup of coffee -

  • or maybe something stronger!

  • Feifei: But it's only Wednesday

  • and you've done all of your work!

  • So what does that mean?

  • Rob: It means it's all downhill

  • to the weekend.

  • Feifei: All downhill? Oh I get it! When you

  • are going downhill, on a bike for example,

  • it's easy. So when things are about to get

  • easier, after a difficult or challenging time,

  • we can describe the situation

  • as being 'all downhill'.

  • Rob: Spot on, Feifei. Once we've heard

  • some examples, it's going

  • to be all downhill until pub time!

  • Yeah! Our building plans

  • have been approved.

  • It's all downhill from here on.

  • Once I've completed this final

  • assignment, it'll be all downhill

  • until I get my qualification.

  • Feifei: This is The English We Speak from

  • BBC Learning English. And I'm with Rob,

  • who's done all of his work and says

  • it's going to be all downhill until

  • the weekend - that is,

  • things are going to be easy.

  • But, Rob, I have a question.

  • Rob: Oh yes?

  • Feifei: The phrase 'to be all downhill'

  • isn't always used in a positive situation.

  • Sometimes it is used to describe

  • situations that get worse. Such as...

  • The film's opening scene was amazing,

  • but it was all downhill after that - there was

  • no story and the acting was appalling!

  • Rob: Feifei are you absolutely

  • sure about this?

  • Feifei: Yes, it's true - and your week

  • is definitely going to be all downhill.

  • Rob: In a bad way, I suppose?

  • Feifei: Yep. Neil's just gone off sick

  • and you've got to do all his work now.

  • Rob: Crikey! This script for this

  • programme has suddenly gone downhill.

  • Feifei: You had better

  • save that drink for later. See ya.

  • Rob: Bye.
