#. same boat

 

Hey guys! Today's English expression is "in the same boat." "in the same boat" means to be in the same negative situation as someone else. Now listen to a dialogue between two friends talking about losing weight. Listen closely for the expression "in the same boat."

 

Hey Jack, how's everything going?

> Everything is good, thanks. Actually, I just joined the gym.

Oh, really?

> Yeah, I need to lose a few kilos. I ate too much over the holidays.

I should probably lose a bit of weight as well.

> So, we're in the same boat then. Let's work out together!

Yeah, sounds good!

 

So, remember we use "in the same boat" when you are in the same negative or unpleasant situation as someone else. Try to use this expression the next time you're in the same negative situation as someone. Thanks for listening and see you next time.
