Hello, everyone! Welcome back to 英語一日一言. Today, we're going to do something a little different. I'm going to say an English phrase, and I want you to write down what you hear. Ready? I’ll say it twice, all right? Here's the phrase: 'It took an hour and a half.' 'It took an hour and a half.' Write it down, and then we'll talk about what it means.
The answer is 'It took an hour and a half', 'It took an hour and a half.
Now, let's break it down. This phrase is a way to express how long something lasted. When you say 'It took an hour and a half,' you're indicating that the activity lasted for ninety minutes.
Let's practice saying it together. I'll say it slowly: It... took... an... hour... and... a... half. Now, let’s say it at normal speed: 'It took an hour and a half.'
For example, if you were cooking a special dinner, you might say, 'It took an hour and a half to prepare everything.' Or if you were watching a short film, you could say, 'The film was great; it took an hour and a half.'
I'd love to hear from you! Can you think of a recent activity that took an hour and a half? Maybe a journey, a study session, or a long walk? Share your experiences in the comments below.
Thank you for watching today's 英語一日一言. Remember to practice this phrase and use it next time you need to describe the duration of an activity. For you beginners, my entire script is in the details section or you can always use the subtitles function on KZitem to check out what I was saying.
