I'm Catherine and joining me today is Georgina.

Hello, Georgina, I Catherine.

Hi everybody On what story have we got today?

Today we've got a story about planes and safety planes and safety.

So let's hear a clip from a news bulletin from BBC Radio.

One going is going to stop making it.

737 max airliner from January.

The planes have been grounded for nine months after two crashes caused the deaths of more than 300 people.

So, Catherine, do you like to fly?

I can't say I like it, but I do it when I need to.

Yeah, because I think that's the thing, isn't it?

It's a way to get from a to B, but the most important thing is that you get to where you're going safely and in one piece.

I think that's why I don't like it because I got a bit new.

Yeah, so but Boeing have kind of, I think, shocked really a lot of people because they've decided to.

After grounding their 737 max airliners for nine months after two fatal crashes, they've now decided to suspend manufacturing them all together.

So then being grounding the planes being grounded is obviously understandable.

But to stop them being manufactured is a huge thing.

It's gonna have a massive impact on the airline on also other companies who provide parts for the planes on the airlines that already have the planes.

In fact, Michael Boyd, the president of the aviation consulting firm Boyd Group International, says that 400 of these planes have already being produced and to quote, can't be delivered.

So big news from blowing big, big news from Boeing.

Yeah, and you've been looking at what the world's media is saying about this story.

You picked out three words and expressions that are popping up in the press today.

Yes, so they are.

Freeze remains.

Mum and cash Cow freeze remains Mom and cash cow.

Let's guilty of first headline.

The first headline is from a Reuters on is a fact box aircraft supplies at risk as Boeing could freeze 737 max production freeze!

Stop suddenly or abruptly Now freeze means when you take some water and you make it very, very cold on the water turns to ice, it freezes.

Yeah, exactly so on.

That's the main meaning that I think we all know.

For example, you could say it's snowing, I'm freezing, so I'm very, very cold.

So this has got something to do with ice and being called No, not that's the irony is in the headline being used as a verb as it is as how we normally how it can be used on.

It's still a regular, so it's freeze froze, frozen on How do you spell free?

We spell it f R double E zed e.

So be careful about the irregularity of the verb that can be very, very tricky, but in this context, it means to stop suddenly or abruptly for a period of time.

It doesn't necessarily mean forever, but it could be a long time.

So there's a head this Ellen, come here stopped production.

It's frozen production.

It means it's just stopped it.

Yes, and we don't know if it's going to start again or No, no, we don't know if it's gonna start again or not.

Um, for example, you could say the company froze or pay increases until further notice.

A pay freeze?

Yes, that's not very no snow.

No.

You know, we don't want those very one Those but in this case implies it could be reinstated at a later date, But maybe it won't.

We just don't know.

You could say the train company froze all trains for safety reasons during the storm.

And that means they actually stopped moving literally the time they stop moving and they no longer were running.

Their service is because off the safety issue of over storm happening, are there any synonyms for freeze?

In these contacts, you could use the word to suspend.

I think that's a great synonym off it because it implies that it could be reinstated at a later date.

But it means for the time being, he is stopped completely.

Thank you very much.

So let's move on to your next headline, please.

Their next headline is from a flight global, and it is bowing.

Remains Mum on reports of potential 737 production.

Holtz remains Mum keeps quiet about something.

Yes, So this is actually made up of a verb and a now so the verb remains spelt R e m a i n.

It's a regular verb this time, and it's remain remained remained.

Eyes quite formal will come back to that in a little bit, but it means to continue to be in the same place or situation.

So you're no kind of moving anywhere on.

Then it's combined with the noun mum.

Now, I think we all know what that means that we can.

Mom, it's a short word for Mother, isn't it?

It is.

But in this context, it does not mean that at all.

It's, um we don't really know exactly where it came from, But imagine Catherine, close your mouth.

What kind of sounds can you make if you close your mouth?

Mmm mmm mmm.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Yes.

Uh, you may have been out to see this or no, but Catherine was closing her mouth.

I'm trying to say something so the only will sound you can get out isn't Mmm sound.

So if I remain mum, I literally stop speaking.

Yes.

I'll stay very, very quiet.

Eso in the headline.

It means that Boeing decided to not comment on whether or not it will stop making the Boeing 737 max airliners remain is formal, like we said earlier.

So Maur everyday language, everyday verbs we could use it could be to keep mum or to stay mum.

So, for example, Margo tried to keep mum about the surprise party.

So it means Margo tried not just say anything about the surprise Saudi.

She wouldn't tell anybody about it.

Yes.

We don't know if she did manage to do that or not.

She cried.

Yeah, on another example would be Rob stayed mum about eating the last biscuit.

Well, he would, wouldn't he?

Yeah, he loves he loves his biscuits, but he likes to keep quiet about them.

In fact, I did see him sneakily getting near a biscuit box last week.

Actually, on DDE, it can either be a positive or negative as as a usage.

It really depends on what you're keeping quiet about your remaining mom keeping mom or staying mum about.

For example, if it's about you know, something that's gonna have be beneficial, like a surprise party, then that's positive.

But maybe you're not telling someone something that might help them.

In which case it could be really quite a negative.

Thank you very much on we have more information about the phrase to keep mum for you, don't we, Georgina?

Now let's go to our final headline, please.

The next headline is from Gulf News.

Andi is Boeing says bye to its cash cow for now, cash cows Something that continuously makes money.

Yes, and it's made up off two words.

It is a noun.

It's made up off the first now is the word cash and it means money on it Spelt C A S h.

The second word is cow moo on.

It's spelled C o W.

And that means on animal, which is farmed for products like milk, cheese and beef.

In fact, a cow's milk could be a cash cow because it's could be produced on a very regular basis and sold so that you know who knows where the phrase came from originally.

But we just thought about that one together though.

Yes, As I said, it means something that makes money on I believe.

Georgina.

You have a little sideline, don't you?

Georgina?

Fizzy drinks company.

It's easy to produce.

I wouldn't say it's amazing quality, but people love it.

On dhe, we sell a huge amount of it.

Wow, so it's cheap to make very, very popular, and you make a lot of money from it.

Cash cow?

Yes, exactly.

For other examples, could be parking fines are real cash cow for local government.

Lot of people think that they think that tank sensitive and you have to pay too many of them.

And they think that the government doesn't just to make money.

Exactly.

Yeah, another one could be.

The Star Wars franchise is a real cash cow, makes a lot of money to make some more money as well.
