Can You See The Light
hi i’m vanessa from speak english with
vanessa calm have you ever worked really
hard for something and finally it was
finished that’s what we’re going to talk
about today let’s get started as many of
you know i’ve been working very hard
over the last month to create the
program 30 days of english some days i
spent 10 hours some days i spent 15
hours working and trying to make videos
and creating the content and thinking
about new ideas and how to make it the
best it could possibly be
i spent so much time on this project and
when it was finished i felt so relieved
we could say near the end of the project
i saw the light at the end of the tunnel
i knew that in a few days it would be
completed this expression i saw the
light at the end of the tunnel is a
great expression to use if you’re
working really hard for something and
it’s almost finished maybe you’re
working really hard to get a visa to
live in the US or you’re working really
hard to study for and i lter another
english test or maybe you are working
really hard because there’s a work
project that you’re trying to get
finished by the end of the week you’re
working so hard it’s like you’re running
a marathon every day you’re doing so
much and finally at the very end you see
the light at the end of the tunnel now a
tunnel is a hole in a mountain so as
you’re driving it’s very likely that
you’ve probably driven through a
mountain and this hole in the mountain
is a tunnel so when you’re driving
through a really long tunnel it’s really
dark inside I’m sure there’s some sort
of light so you can see but you’re
driving through the tunnel and at the
very end you see a little bit of light
you see some sunlight coming through the
opposite end of the tunnel that means
you’re almost finished you’re almost
through the tunnel if you can get to the
other side you will be out of the
Tunnel this is the kind of expression
that you can use to talk about working
really hard for a project or for
something so you could say uh I have
been studying for this English test for
so long I have been preparing and
working so hard and on Friday I’m going
to take the test I can see the light at
the end of the tunnel your preparation
is almost finished you’re almost there
that’s how I felt as I was working on
the project thirty days of English I
love doing this kind of work it’s not
boring or frustrating or annoying to me
even though it doesn’t always go as I
planned I think that this kind of thing
is engaging and challenging but because
I worked so hard and spent so many hours
preparing near the end last weekend I
felt like I can see the light at the end
of the tunnel finally my to-do list was
almost finished I only had one or two
things left to do I felt so relieved
that I could finally see the light at
the end of the tunnel and now that the
program is opened I am out of the tunnel
and this process has been completed so
I’m curious for you what has some what
has been some kind of project or task
that you have worked really hard for and
near the end of your work you saw the
light at the end of the tunnel you saw
it’s almost finished soon I can do it
yes and you worked really hard to finish
on time or to finish and do a good job
