Hello and welcome to today’s edition of English as a second language podcast.

Visit us on the web.
In today’s podcast we’re going to talk about nasty habits or bad habits that people have.
I’m gonna talk about some of my bad habits wich include smoking and drinking.
Let’s get started.
Well, my worst habit that I have ever had is
probably smoking.
I don’t smoke any more, but when I graduated from college I went abroad to study in Mexico and almost every one around me was a smoker.
So, it was very difficult for me not to smoke.
And I just decided after a couple of months to give in and to start smoking myself.
I smoked for probably about 2 or 3 years and then I decided to quit smoking.
I was able and I was lucky because I was able to quit cold-turkey, where as other people who try to quit often have to use Nicotine Patches or Nicotine Gum or something like that.
But I was fortunate. I missed smoking after I stopped it for probably five years.
I when I would go by someone or walk by someone who was smoking, I would inhale deeply heh to smell the smoke because it gave me a certain satisfaction, a certain pleasure. But after about five years, I got sick of the smoke, so that now -and this was ten years ago that I quit smoking- Now I can’t stand for smell of smoke.
I try to get away from the smell of smoke in a restaurant or on the street.
The other bad habits that I have, include drinking alcohol. Although I don’t drink very much alcohol, I used to drink when I was in college and after college. But now, I don’t drink as much,. Partly because I can’t handle my alcohol very well any more and I don’t have allot of occasions to drink. I don’t go to bars any more and I don’t hang around allot of people or friends who are heavy drinkers.
I also like to drink tea. I was a coffee drinker for meny years. I drank coffee almost every day, but eventually, the coffee started to irritate my stomach and so I had to stop drinking coffee. And I switched to tea and now I drink all sorts or all kinds of tea. I drink black tea. I drink Oolong tea. I drink Jasmine tea. I drink Chai tea. My favorite drink with tea is a hot chai tea Latte. A Latte is a drink either tea or coffee that’s made with milk and sugar, sometimes a little cream too.
I usually have a cup of tea every morning. It helps me wake up. I like the caffeine in the morning. It gets me going.
However, if I drink tea at night, I have problem slipping. So, I try to avoid drinking tea during the night time-hours.

explanation of Eslpod number 4 bad habits

As usual, on ESL podcast we recommend or we suggest that you listen to this podcast several times, 2, 3, 4 times in order to understand everything that we say. Now we’re going to talk about some vocabulary that you may have had difficulty with or difficulty understanding. The first one, the first expression I used at the beginning of the segment was to give in. I said, how I gave in when I was in Mexico. Because everyone else around me was smoking. To give in means to do something. Because you are pressured somehow or that you receive a pressure from other people. For example, I ask my sister to lend me her car and she said, no and then I argue with her. I give her reasons. I beg her. Eye bribe her. I give her money and eventually, she gives in and allows me to use her car. So, to give in means that you are reluctant or you don’t want to do something, but eventually, you do. Another expression we used in talking about smoking was cold turkey. I said that I quit smoking cold turkey. To quit cold turkey means to stop completely without ever going back. We often use this expression when talking about bad or nasty habits such as, smoking and drinking. So to quit cold turkey is to stop some vice, some habit, some addiction you have completely. Two other expressions that we mentioned in our talk, can’t stand and can’t handle. I mentioned that I can’t stand the smell of smoke. Can’t stand means or not able to stand means that you do not allow it. You do not tolerate it. You do not put up with it. That is to say for example, I can’t stand people who shout, meaning I’m very bothered by people who shout. I try to get away from people who shout. So, the expression can’t stand means you can’t tolerate, you can’t put up with. The expression can’t handle is a little different. To be able to handle something or someone means that although that person or thing is difficult, you are able to deal with, you are able to get along with that thing or that person. So, when I said earlier in the talk I can’t handle my alcohol, that means that alcohol gives me problems, -problems that I can’t control very well. Well, that’s going to wrap it up for this edition of ESL podcast. We are going to come to an end, but we invite you to come back tomorrow for another English as a second language podcast.
