Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases TO STOP AT NOTHING and STOP-AND-GO

In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase "to stop at nothing." When you say that you will stop at nothing to do something it means you'll do anything you have to to get that thing done. It's raining right now, but I will stop at nothing to get a video made for all of you. So even though it's raining and it's a little bit cold, I don't mind coming out to get this done because I like to get the English lesson done. It's just something I like to do so I will stop at nothing to get it done. You could use this to describe other things as well. Maybe someone really likes to visit people at Christmas and they will stop at nothing in order to make that visit happen. That means even if there's a snow storm or the electricity isn't working, they will still visit someone at Christmas.

The second phrase I wanted to teach you today is the phrase "stop-and-go." Now, we usually use this to talk about traffic. If you're driving and you're on a highway and you stop and then you go and then you stop and then you go because there's a little bit of a traffic jam, we would call it stop-and-go traffic. But you can describe anything as stop-and-go. You could say the rain today has been kind of stop-and-go all day. It was raining this morning and then it stopped for a bit and then it started again. The rain has been stop-and-go.

So to review, when you will stop at nothing to get something done, it means no matter what obstacle is in your way you will get that thing finished. I hope that you stop at nothing when you keep when you are learning English. I hope nothing stops you from getting it done. And when you say something is stop-and-go, it means it starts at one point and then it stops for a bit and then it starts again. Sometimes my English lessons are like that, but not this one. This one isn't stop-and-go. I talk for the whole four minutes.

But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous lesson. This comment is from Stanislav and Stanislav says, "it is great weather in Canada. We have a lot of snow too today." And my response is we did have a lot, but unfortunately it's all melted now.

And you can probably see that behind me already. Let's go for a little tour. Things are very different than the last video. So the last video was actually shot a few days ago, but since then things have warmed up quite a bit here in Ontario, Canada. In fact, the other day, two days ago, it was 11 degrees. Everything melted. You can see that everything behind me, it kind of looks like spring again in some ways. And then today is four degrees. I was out earlier this morning shooting a video for my other channel, my "Wednesdays with Bob" video, and yeah, it certainly doesn't look like this. Here, I'll put a little clip in of what it looked like during the storm a week and a half ago. I'll start that right now.

It's like this outside right now. I'm not sure if you can see behind me. It is just coming down out here and it is windy out here.

And then I'll come back again. So you could see in that clip that we were getting hammered. That's how I would describe it. We were getting hammered with snow, but it certainly slowed down quite a bit. But yeah, it's just kind of weird. Like, I'm wearing a winter coat, but I don't really need a winter coat right now. I could probably come outside in just a light jacket. In fact, Jen and I went shopping the other day and I just wore a jacket. Yesterday, actually. So yes, kind of disappointing.
