recommendations for books read by

British narrators right let’s get on

with the lesson

so first let’s talk about eating number

one is to pig out to pig out and this

means to eat a lot of food all at once

I’m going to pig out tonight an example

would be I meant to be on a really

strict diet but I picked out last night

oops number two - eat up - eat up means

to eat all of the food that you’ve been

given until it’s finished

it means to eat everything for example

come on eat your food up or you’ll be

hungry this one is normally more

directed at children number three - pick

it something to pick it something means

to unwillingly eat a small amount of

food so maybe you’re not hungry so maybe

you don’t feel well it’s often

considered rude to pick it your food oh

I’m a poet and I didn’t even realize it

for example are you feeling all right

you’ve been picking at your food for age

is number four to cut out if you are

cutting out a specific food or a food

group it means you are eliminating it

from your diet for example sorry no cake

for me I am cutting out sugar number

five is very similar to cut back but

you’re not eliminating foods

you are just reducing the amount of a

specific food or food group that you’re

eating or maybe you’re just cutting back

on food in general and just a note with

the prepositions you usually cut back on

something for example my doctor told me

I need to cut back on fat number six to

bolt down if you bolt down or wolf down

your food it means you eat it all really

really quickly for example I wolf down

my breakfast this morning because I had

no time let’s move on to the second part

of the video which is cooking and

preparing food number seven to whip up

this means to prepare a meal very

quickly or with a little effort for

example here we are something I whipped

up yesterday number eight to cut up this

means to cut into pieces you want me to

cut up your food for you number nine

only slightly different this is to chop

up and it’s different because chop means

to cut something with sharp blows so

you’d normally chop up something hard

like vegetables or fruit for example if

you cut the pie up I’ll chop up the

vegetables number ten to boil over this

means to cause liquid to overflow during

boiling for example can you run and get

the peas I think they’re boiling over

number eleven to warm up this just means

to heat for example do you want me to

warm up your dinner for you when you get

home and the last one number twelve to

fry up and this just means to cook

something by frying it means to fry

you’ll find that we often add up two

words to make a phrasal verb it often

makes something more child
