A phrase to describe how busy you are
Welcome to the English we speak with.
Me Beth and me Feifey.
We have an expression that means you are busy and active.
It can be positive or negative.
It's on the go.
On the go.
Can you tell us how we use it, Beth?
I can.
You're always busy, Fei Fei, and you're looking a bit tired, if you don't mind me saying so, but it's no surprise because you are always on the go.
Well, honestly, it's quite difficult having to balance work and friends.
I'm always on the go.
You need to take a rest.
So on the go means busy, active and not relaxing.
It usually means you're trying to do lots of different things during the day.
Anyway, you're always on the go too.
How do you manage it?
Well, I just came back from my holiday.
I made sure I wasn't on the go at all.
I just sat and read my book all day.
Let's hear some more examples.
