Hello, and welcome to the English We Speak with me, Fei Fei.
And hello, it's me, Rob.
Have you had a busy day today?
Oh, I sure have.
And there's plenty more to do before home time.
Well, after this program, I think I'll call it a day.
I've got my yoga class to go to.
Call it a day?
You've only been here seven hours and there are 24 hours in a day.
I know that, Rob, but I've finished my work, so that's my day finished.
When we call it a day, we just mean we have decided to stop what we're doing for the rest of the day.
It could be because we have just finished a task, done enough, or just bored of doing it.
So, Rob, I've done my work, so I really must call it today.
I don't want to miss my yoga class.
Haven't you got time for some examples?
Of course.
We've been working on this presentation for hours now.
Let's call it a day and carry on tomorrow.
