Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases TO PETER OUT and TO GO ALL OUTIn this English lesson I wanted to help you learn the English phrase to peter out. When a person peters out, it means they run out of energy. When I was younger, when I was in elementary school I used to run cross country races. I was on the cross-country team, and we had to run three or five kilometers, I can't remember. And after about halfway, I would start to peter out. I would start to lose energy, I couldn't run the whole distance. So I would walk a little bit and then I would start running again because running that far was really hard and eventually I would peter out. I would run out of energy. We also use this phrase to describe things. If someone let's say someone wants to become the mayor of their town and they're running in the election, but eventually they just don't have enough energy to keep making speeches. Eventually they might peter out, and then maybe they won't win the election.WANT FREE ENGLISH LESSONS?

Now, I'm pretty sure I taught this phrase a year ago or two years ago, but it has the word out in it. I try to make the phrases match a little bit. When you go all out, it means you give it all of your energy. Also, when I was younger, I used to run 100 meter dashes. The 100 meter sprint is a very short race. When you run a short distance race like that you go all out. You use all your energy in that 13, or 14, or 15 seconds that it takes you to run that race. It's a lot different than running in a long distance race. When you run short distances, you go all out. When you run long distances, you try to conserve your energy so that you don't peter out.That worked pretty good, anyways to review to peter out means to slowly lose your energy or to slowly lose momentum, and to go all out means to use all of your energy in a short period of time, to just do your best, to go as fast as you can, and to work as hard as you can. It has a lot of different aspects to the meaning. You can use it for a race, or for work, or anything else like that.But hey let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Eduardo, and Eduardo says, good morning Bob, always when someone says you are the best teacher, you say I don't think I'm the best teacher. Here's the deal. You always try to explain the best way possible. We really appreciate that, and you make the lessons funny and interesting. Don't sell yourself short. Thanks so much Bob have a great day. And my response to Eduardo was, thanks for these words Eduardo. They mean a lot to me, I appreciate it.So thanks Eduardo. I do appreciate all of the positive comments that you guys give to me, again even though Eduardo said I shouldn't sell myself short, I don't think I'm the best teacher on YouTube but I will tell you this. I really like doing this and I'm always looking for ways to make my English lessons on YouTube even better. I'm always trying to think of new ways to edit, new ways to shoot the videos and new ways to do things. So even though Eduardo maybe you're suggesting I'm the best teacher on YouTube. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/bobthecanadian)
