- Read along to practice your English and to learn the phrases TO BREEZE THROUGH and TO SHOOT THE BREEZE
In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase to breeze through. When you breeze through something, it means you do it quickly and easily. At school, I had a whole stack of student work that I needed to look at. Well, that truck's pretty loud. I'm not sure if you can hear it. I had a whole stack of student work that I needed to look at and I thought it was going to be hard, but I was able to breeze through it. It actually was really easy to look at all the work and give them each a grade out of ten. So when you breeze through something, it means you do it quickly and easily and it's not very difficult at all.

The other phrase I wanted to teach you today is to shoot the breeze. So when you shoot the breeze, it means you talk with someone. Sometimes after work, as I'm walking out, another teacher will be walking out and we might shoot the breeze for a few minutes. We might just stand and talk about our day. We might stand and talk about a student who wasn't behaving. I don't know. Do we? Do teachers do that? Sometimes, but we sometimes just shoot the breeze. We also sometimes say shoot the bull. It means to just talk about everyday things.
So to review to breeze through something means to do it easily or to do it without difficulty. That would maybe be a better description. To do it quickly and with very little difficulty. And to shoot the breeze or to shoot the bull means simply to talk to someone. So even though it has the verb to shoot in it, it doesn't mean that at all. It means to just have a conversation.
But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from keen student. I am the first to leave a comment. You were actually, I've almost got my teacher's degree, but I am still learning. Thank you for the lessons. They are very helpful and needed. And my response, that's awesome that you almost have your degree. I hope the rest of your studies go well. So thank you keen student. I do hope things go well for you. It's cool. When I hear about people who are becoming teachers, I just think it is awesome.
By the way, it's really windy out here. I'm not sure if you can see that with my paper flapping around a little bit or if you can see it in the trees above me, but it's definitely a windier day than I was expecting. But that's okay. Got my jacket on, I'm dressed for the weather and like I mentioned earlier this week, it feels like we are shifting into fall 100% sure that's what is happening.
I'm not sure if you can see Walter behind me here. He's feeling a lot better. I don't know if you watch Jen's videos. Hi, Walter. Hey, Pup. Oh, he's very interested in something. I'm not sure if you watch Jen's videos, but Walter had a sore paw, and we ended up taking him to the vet, and he was on antibiotics for two weeks. He hurt like, the little nail on his paw, and he's definitely doing a lot better now. As you can see. He must have gotten a scent of something. He must smell a squirrel or maybe some other small rodent or animal, and he's off hunting away, so.
But anyways, the bad part about that is it's really expensive to go to the vet. For us to go to the vet for a 20 minute visit was $375. That was a little shocking. When Jen came out, I stayed in the van. Jen went in, and it was like, oh, that's a lot of money. But, hey, when you have a dog and you love your dog, you pay whatever you have to pay to keep your dog healthy. And by the way, Oscar, you probably can't see him. He's just having a nap over there. If you see a little orange spot, brown spot, that's Oscar.
Anyways, thanks for watching. I'm standing here in this grove of trees, and it's getting super windy now. I'll see you in a few days with another short English lesson. Bye.

Both you and Jen are very kind person. That's what made you such a great couple. Wishing you and your family all the best.
Thanks for this amazing lesson, Bob! I really appreciate it. Keep up the good work, man.
THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH, BOB THE CANADIAN!!!!
Thank you so much bob
Thanky you Bob!
Teacher bob thank you so much
Thanks a lot for the lesson, Bob! Canada isn't a place you can just breeze through - there are so many picturesque sites to visit and so many amiable people (like Bob the Canadian) to get to know. It's nice to see Walter being cheerful, he breezes along without a care in the world
Thanks bro ! Keep teaching like that ,We appreciate that🙌🏻
Hi Bob. Do you also say "to chew the cud"? Take care, sir. I love your mini-videos.
I have a dog too. His name is Otto. Fortunately vets are not so expensive in Spain. A similar visit of 20 minutes could cost around 45 € (less than 70 C$).
Hi Bob love your short lessons, thanks for those, didn't know the words, the last few days it was very windy, too , here in Germany, but today I woke up and the sun was shining, will be a great day, have a good weekend to come, best regards Sabine oh I forgot to mention I breezed through my last English test, hope Walter feels much better, love dogs😍
Everyone should be careful, Walter is patrolling the farm looking for even the smallest trace or anything unusual 🐾. (So cute.) Maybe you should put up a sign saying "Beware of the dogs", Bob 😘. But it's nice to see that he's doing much better than he did in Jen's video and can, let's say, go about his routine again without any restrictions. Thanks for the new lesson and phrases, Bob. Take care and have a lovely day. Greetings to Jen and your kids. 🌬🧥🍂
It is easy for me to shoot the breeze with friends whenever I go to the coffee shop.
I hope Walter's paw is better. Our dog, Zoé last Sunday squeezed herself through the neighbor's fence and playfully started to play with the chickens there. I had to rush over and pulled my knee a bit. Our place is not big as your farm is but big enough. I told her she should be satisfied at our house. I hope she won't do it again, we scolded her. Thank you for the video and I will watch your streaming afterward in the evening. Have a pleasant weekend ❤
❤loved the saying " to shoot the breeze ( or the bull). I knew a similar one: to chew the fat. Is that correct.
Glad to see you recovered.
Take care and carry on
Looking forward to hearing from you soon

Yep, it's not uncommon to stop and touch base, flipping through the Ss' tests with the colleagues during the break. My condolences about Walter! Hope he's OK. We have a cat so we're in the know about the vet's fees, they seem to be soaring all over💰(btw, could u please drop the link to Jen's channel?🙏) Have a nice breezy (not windy🙂) day❤😺🌻
Hi dear Bob .
Can you make one group on whats up or Viber to speak for English learners? In my opinion it’s will be very useful for us .
No
I "breezed through" the long hike probably because I've been doing squats every day for 2 months.
I came across one of my students on the mountain and we "shot the breeze" for a moment.
Do my examples sound correct and natural?
And is Jen also a teacher? Where can I see her videos? Could you please leave her link here?
To go to the vet is very expensive I Sweden as well 😢
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hi Bob and community, is there a past tense of "to breeze through"?
is it as simple as "breezed"?
I wonder if your students follow you on youtube and if you're hailed as a celebrity in their eyes😅
