In this English lesson we talk about the price of money, how loans work and lots more. Financial jargon and statistics can confuse new English language learners. So we use lots of examples to help explain English money and economic  terms to help you understand some of the more common phrases that are  used in business and interacting with banks. This type of English vocabulary and phrases will help you follow English financial news reporting and deal with things like banks and loans.

I covered the UK cost-of-living crisis in podcast 534,  and if you haven’t listened to that one yet it would be a good follow  on lesson to this one. We all have to work with money, deal with banks  and loans. So understanding the common economic vocabulary used in  everyday English is really worth learning. This is especially useful if  you are looking to take an IELTS exam, as IELTS examiners like to hear  money and statistical terms being used correctly and understood.

As  with any language, understanding the context in which we use words will  help you more quickly grasp their meaning. The English language has a  lot of terms that are used in business and economics. Understanding the  meaning and usage of these will help you communicate more effectively  with others, as well as understand what they are talking about.

An easy to follow English lesson about an idiom used when you invest a little of your time, to you save far more. Time  is a precious commodity. It’s the one thing we can’t get more of, unless  you live in a sci-fi movie. We’re all busy. We all want to save time.  And that’s what this idiom is about saving time by spending it wisely. I  explain it all with the help of an interesting cautionary tale.

Today’s  idiom is one I used after a minor disaster in my garden. In this lesson  we talk about English idioms, how native English speakers would use  these idioms in everyday English. As always, there are lots of examples  and an interesting story to help you remember the idiom and any unusual  vocabulary.

The English language has lots of idioms that offer  wisdom on how you invest your time or money. For example, “penny wise  and pound foolish,” which means that you’re being cheap when it comes to  saving money, but that’s costing you more in the long run. If you spend  a little time now to save lots later, then that’s not being penny wise  and pound foolish

Today we will explore an English listening practice topic which interests us all: ageing.  We will discover what scientists are learning from animals that live a  long time, or ones that live brief lives. And what that means for us  aging humans. So join us and learn to speak English with our fun listen and learn approach to language learning.

English Listening Practice: Let’s Talk About Ageing
Ageing  is something we’re all intimately familiar with, although most of us  try to avoid thinking about it! When we think about getting old, we  focus on the symptoms, a wrinkle here and ache there, less hair and less  energy. Well, today we look at the other end of the problem, the causes  of ageing.

Today we look at some advanced English vocabulary.  You know the sort of English words and phrases that turn up in  newspaper and magazine articles? There is a common problem, where  English language learners who understand most spoken and written  English, find radio and TV news, newspapers and magazines hard to  comprehend. If you want to understand the English news, this podcast English lesson is a great place to start.

News is what somebody somewhere wants to suppress; all the rest is advertising.
⭐ Lord Northcliffe
This  change in the type of English language used is because news and  magazines writers often use idioms and phrases to imply a meaning or an  idea to make content engaging. They need to entertain the  reader/listeners to make money! It’s the type of English you avoid in  everyday conversations, because you would sound very stuffy and formal,  and you probably don’t want your audience to work too hard understanding  what you are trying to communicate.

Today our English listening practice topic is about depression, anti-depressants and serotonin. A recent research paper says serotonin has little or nothing to do with depression! So wait a minute, the primary treatment we have to help people with depression targets serotonin,  and serotonin has little or nothing to do with depression. How could we  possibly take so long to discover something this fundamental? With so  many people taking these pills, there is a lot to talk about.

✔Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/english-listening-practice-serotonin-depression/

English Listening Practice: Serotonin Imbalance Does Not Cause Depression
Anti-depression  medication affects the people who take it. Otherwise, why prescribe the  drugs to so many people and for such long periods of time? People will  tell you that anti-depressant pills have helped them, but whatever is  going on medically is now being questioned by some heavyweight medical  research from University College London. Of course, this ignores the  elephant in the room, and that is the side effects of taking this type  of mind-altering drug over long periods of time.

When I say a lot of people take these pills, I mean millions of people in Britain alone! The Lancet published data from NHS Digital showing that 70.9 million prescriptions  for antidepressants were given out in England in 2018, compared with 36  million in 2008. No wonder the anti-depression pill market is booming. The global antidepressant drugs market in 2020 had a value of 15.6 Billion USD and they project it will reach 21 Billion USD by 2030. It’s a substantial business if you are one of the 5 major players that dominates this market.

Since I was 16, I've felt a black cloud hangs over me. Since then, I have taken pills for depression.
