  • Welcome to the English we speak with.

  • Me, Jiayin and hello, I'm Rob.

  • Now, in English,

  • we have a phrasal verb that describes improving something so it becomes the same level or standard as something else.

  • It's level up.

  • Level up.

  • So here the word level is about being at an equal position as something else,

  • and up is about increasing it to that level.

  • So we're talking about improving or advancing something to make it the same as other things of the same type.

  • When we level up, it's often for things that are important and serious.

  • For example,

  • the standard of education

  • at one school may be improved so that students receive the same quality of teaching that they do at another school.

  • They level up.

  • This process is called levelling up.

  • But we can also use it simply to describe improving things in our everyday lives.

  • Yes, that's true.

  • I want to level up the clothes in my wardrobe so I look cool and fashionable like everybody else.

  • Good idea, Rob.

  • You look so last year.
