E357: 🎙️ Welcome to The English Like a Native Podcast, your go-to resource for enhancing your English listening skills and expanding your active vocabulary. I'm Anna, and you're listening to Week 43, Day 3 of Your English Five a Day.

💺 In today's episode, we start with the idiom "on the edge of your seat". After that, we delve into the noun "underdog" and take a look at another idiom, "the plot thickens". Next up, we explore the noun "scapegoat", and finally, we wrap up with another noun, "breakthrough".

🏁 Tune in for pronunciation practice and a recap of today's words, ensuring you grasp each one thoroughly. In the final story segment, we join John in the cinema as he watches Redemption Run, a film in which Alex, an underdog mechanic, competes in a high-stakes race against professional drivers. When wrongly accused of sabotage, he becomes a scapegoat. With time running out, Alex battles against the clock to expose the real saboteur and win the race. Will he manage it?
