Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile. With the price of just about everything going up during
inflation, we thought we'd bring our prices down. So to help us, we brought in a reverse
auctioneer which is apparently a thing. Mint Mobile unlimited premium wireless.
I did it to get 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20,
20, 15, 15, 15, 15, just 15 bucks a month. So give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch.
45 dollars upfront for three months plus taxes and fees from our eight

Well we got a minute. I'm going to buy that truck up in one. Wait, don't you need like weeks
to shop for a car? I don't. Carvana makes it super convenient to find exactly what I want.
Hold up. You're buying a car on your phone. Isn't that more of a laptop thing?
You can shop wherever you want. I like to do my research. Read reviews, compare models.
Plus Carvana has thousands of options. How do you decide on that truck? Because I like it.
No, that is a great reason. Go to Carvana.com to sell your car the convenient way.
Welcome to the English We Speak. I'm Beth and I'm Feifei. We have an expression that means
relax and often celebrates, particularly after a time of stress or pressure. And the phrase is
let loose. Lose is the opposite of tight. So let loose, Beth, can you give us an example?
Yes. Well, Feifei, I know you've been training for a marathon recently and you've been
eating very healthily. But I imagine that once the run is done, you will let loose and maybe
have some unhealthy food. Absolutely. I've been craving chocolate. But I haven't had any for
a few months. And speaking of food, I recently worked with some actors and after we wrapped
on filming, we all let loose and celebrated by ordering pizzas. Oh, don't talk about pizza.
I haven't had one for ages. Sorry. Okay, let's hear some more examples.
After his exams were done, he could finally celebrate and let loose.
You always dress so smartly. Let loose. Genes are much comfier than those suit trousers.
After months of being on a diet, I let loose on holiday and had a few ice creams. You're listening
to the English we speak from BBC Learning English and we're learning the expression let loose.
Which is a way of saying relax, often with a celebration. Now, you can let loose, but you can also
let a person loose and that has a different meaning. If you let someone or something loose,
you give them freedom. Like how I let you loose on that video with them filming. It's crazy.
I think we need to film again. Yeah, maybe. Okay, let's go then. Bye bye. Bye.
