the winds are wid, they chi and biteR
the ground is thick with sush and seet,
and I can barey fee my feet.

if e'eryone in !ngand has turned into a foody.
&isten to Nigea &awson, a tee'ision chef. 4he uses word such as Vuscious, smooth,
fowing, gritty, subime, buttery to describe something that when a is said and done is a

This is the start of this lesson$
2here are ots of words and )hrases in !ngish to describe things beginning and ending,
but e'en the best aid )ans can be u)set by delays.
(hen you start something you begin it.
(hen you are born, your ife begins.
165
(hen you start a race, you want to win it and you kee) going to the finish..
2o start a 8ourney you need to set out before the 8ourney can commence and you can
actuay set off on the tri).
$ou can begin a com)any, but first you need to set it up.
(hen you end something you stop it. (hen something ends it stops.
(hen you die your ife ends.
(hen a race ends, you want to cross the finish ine first, and definitey don't want to end
up ast.
0n a 8ourney you may halt or pause somewhere, or your 8ourney may be delayed, and
that can hold you bac&4 but it coudcontinue ater. If your 8ourney is postponed it is put
off to a ater date.
4ome com)anies e=)erience hold ups4 or e'en discontinue )roducts
and cease )roduction. If a com)any closes it +inds up4 and yet you +ind up a cock
to get it going.
(hen a )arty starts to +ind do+n, it's about to stop.
166
(hen you are )honing a friend, you may get cut off4 or they may hang up on you
and end the ca une=)ectedy.
#nd when you're earning !ngish, if things get reay difficut you may 6uit, but as ong as
