Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases THINK IT OVER and GET BACK TO ME

In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase "think it over." When you propose something to someone, sometimes you want an answer right away, but sometimes you want people to think it over. When you say that people think something over, it means that they take some time to think about it before they make a decision. Maybe you want to go to a movie, but because of COVID, you aren't sure if your friends will want to come with. You could say to them, "Hey, let's plan on going to a movie on Wednesday night, but don't tell me right now if you wanna go, think it over a little bit and then let me know what you decide." So sometimes you want people to answer you right away. Sometimes you actually want people to take some time. You want people to just think about all of the consequences. Think about all of the ramifications. There's two really big words for you right now, before they make a decision. You want them to think it over.

And then when you want them to answer you, you could say, "Get back to me once you've decided." So tied in with the phrase "think something over," is the phrase "get back to me." So you could say this, "Hey, let's go, let's think about going to a movie on Wednesday night. Why don't you think it over and then get back to me once you've made a decision?" So if you want someone to get back to you, it means you want them to call you or text you. I'm pretending this is my phone. Or just let you know what decision they have made. I've used another phrase in there too, I don't know if you've noticed, I've said, "Let me know." So I could say, "Hey, think about whether you want to go to a movie on Wednesday night and then let me know what you decide or get back to me once you have decided."

So to review, when you want someone to think something over, or if you say, "Hey, think it over," you just want someone to take some time, maybe a day or two, before they decide something. And when you say, "Get back to me," it means that you want them to call you or text you or just let you know what they've decided.

But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Mamy Mimma and Mamy Mimma says, "Thanks, now I know how to describe how I was feeling yesterday, sick as a dog." And my response was, "I hope you're feeling better today." So thanks Mamy Mimma for that comment. And yes, yesterday's lesson, we talked about the phrase "sick as a dog." That's how you describe being really, really sick. Apologies to all dogs. It's not a very nice thing. But there was a really good comment as well from someone explaining the history of it. I think it was Vinicius, but I can't remember. But anyways, yes, I hope that you're feeling better today.

Let's talk about some of the sentences we use when people say they aren't feeling well. If someone says to me, "I'm feeling sick," if it's one of my children, I might say, "What's wrong? What hurts?" Or, "What are you feeling?" And then they might say, "I have a headache," or, "I have a stomachache," or, "I have a sore throat," or, "I have a stuffed up nose." And usually when someone says they're sick, we wish them well. We say things like, "I hope you get better soon. I hope you're feeling better soon. I hope that you fully recover. I hope that you're feeling better tomorrow. I hope that it doesn't last very long." And those kinds of things. So those are the things that we say when someone is sick. When I phone my boss and say, "I need a sick day," he usually says, "No problem. I hope you're feeling better soon. Please send me your lesson plans." Because when I'm sick, I still have to write lesson plans for my class. So I don't get a real sick day if I'm sick. I have to kind of tell the substitute teacher what they need to do. So if I call in sick, which I don't do very often, I phone my boss, I say, "I'm feeling sick, can I have a sick day?" He says, "Sure. I hope you're feeling better soon." And then I sit down, even if I'm feeling sick as a dog, and I write lesson plans on my computer. That part's not very fun.

Hi dear teacher! I am sure that the answer will totally depends on situation and desire to do that! In one situation I will answer that I need to think it over and in the other situation I will just say " I will be ready in seconds flat" !🤔😃
