Hi everyone! Thank you for tuning in to Time for English.

During the Olympic Games in Rio I heard several athletes use the phrase "it was not my day" or "today's not my day" in their post-competition interviews.

Are you familiar with the phrase? You can say this when you're having a bad day or many things are going wrong. For example, you missed your bus, you're late for work. You forgot your lunch and lost your wallet. What a day! You sigh and say "It's not my day". You got a flat tire in the morning. Your phone broke in the afternoon. At the end of the day your boyfriend disappeared leaving a note saying "I need my space". All happened on the same day! It was just not your day.

Now would you like to try a quiz to make sure you get the phrase right? You'll be given three options. Please listen carefully and choose the one that is TRUE. Ready?

If you say "It's not your day", you're having

1. a wonderful day.

2. a terrible day.

3. a normal day.
