This is the English we speak.
With me, Fei Fei, and I'm Neil.
We have a phrase about following other people's thoughts, ideas or actions because it's the easiest thing to do.
It's go with the flow.
Go with the flow.
So go has something to do with moving.
And flow is to do with the continuous movement of something.
But how do we really use it?
Well, when someone's ideas, thoughts or actions start developing, we can think of them as moving along.
And when you go with the flow, you move along with it.
You don't resist it.
You just go with it.
I see.
So the other day, when we were all arranging to go out for dinner, Rob suggested going to the cafe near the office.
I wasn't that keen, but rather than making a fuss, I went with the flow.
Ha.
You did.
But that's easier than trying to argue with Rob.
Going with the flow is about being relaxed and accepting the situation.
Here are some more examples of go with the flow.
