Rob: Yes, goodbye 2019. It's been
4
17170
2870
00:20
a good year,
5
20040
2720
00:23
but it's time for a clear up.
6

00:24
Feifei: Rob's tidying up!
7
24720
2040
00:28
Why, Rob?
8
28660
1000
00:29
Rob: Well, there's so much junk
9
29660
1900
00:31
lying around - let's clear out
10
31560
1780
00:33
the old stuff. I'd like
11
33340
1780
00:35
to start the New Year with a tidy office.
12
35130
2330
00:37
Feifei: Oh right - we can say 'out with
13
37460
2892
00:40
the old, in with the new'.
14

Rob: Out with the old, in with the new.
15
42280
2596
00:44
Yeap - a good expression, Feifei.
16
44876
2243
00:47
You mean leave
17
47119
951
00:48
old things or old ideas behind and start
18
48070
2810
00:50
fresh with new things or ideas.
19
50880
2000
00:52
Feifei: I do! It's often said
20
52880
1880
00:54
around New Year.
21
54767
1042
00:55
Rob: Well, I had better get on with
22
55809
1311
00:57
getting rid of old things
23
57120
1460
01:01
while we hear
24
61920
520
01:02
some examples
25
62440
980
01:03
of this phrase in action...
26
63420
2460
01:07
It's time for me to get rid of my old boots
27
67800
2980
01:10
and buy a new pair.
28
70780
1420
01:12
Out with the old, in with the new!
29
72200
2220
01:15
The tech company released their
30
75320
1740
01:17
new range last week. I've already
31
77060
2100
01:19
bought something.
32
79160
1140
01:20
It's out with the old chunky phone
33
80300
2220
01:22
and in with the new
34
82520
1300
01:23
lightweight touch screen-one.
35
83820
2540
01:27
Last year I spent too much time
36
87280
2100
01:29
eating cake - but now for 2020,
37
89380
2420
01:31
I'm going to join a gym
38
91800
1600
01:33
and get fit - it's out with the
39
93400
2240
01:35
old body and in with the new one!
40

Feifei: You're listening to The English We
41

Speak from BBC Learning English.

In this programme,
43
104544
1246
01:45
we're looking at the expression 'out with
44
105790
2070
01:47
the old, in with the new'. It means getting
45
107860
3040
01:50
rid of old ideas or things and
46
110900
2317
01:53
starting fresh with new ones.
47
113217
2280
01:55
So what new things or ideas
48
115497
2122
01:57
shall we have for 2020, Rob?
49
117619
1890
01:59
Rob: Hmmm... Well, for a new thing,
50
119509
2084
02:01
I was thinking about some
51
121593
1520
02:03
flowers in the studio.
52
123113
1337
02:04
Feifei: Nice.
53
124450
1000
02:05
Rob: And for my new idea, I thought
54
125450
2071
02:07
I would start introducing
55
127521
1509
02:09
the programme every week
56
129030
1449
02:10
- it's always been you, Feifei!
57
130479
2001
02:12
Feifei: Excuse me, Rob ... I've always
58
132480
2595
02:15
introduced the programme.
59
135075
1738
02:16
It's ladies first! Sorry, I'm not
60
136813
2017
02:18
changing that. But actually
61
138830
1911
02:20
I was thinking about another change.
62
140741
2549
02:23
Rob: Oh yes, what's that?
63
143290
1780
02:25
Feifei: A new presenter. As we say -
64
145070
2924
02:27
out with old (you, Rob), and in with
65
147994
2979
02:30
the new (hi Dan).
66
150980
1400
02:32
Dan: Hi Feifei!
67
152380
1660
02:34
Rob: Hi!
68
154040
940
02:34
Feifei: Just joking! Happy
69

02:36
New Year, Rob!
