Hello and welcome to Real Easy English. I'm Beth and I'm Georgie. We have real conversations in easy English to help you learn. Today, we're talking about secrets. A secret is a piece of information that you don't tell other people. We also talk about being an open book, which means you're very honest and share things.
We discuss how to keep a secret, which means not sharing that piece of information. Georgie says she's not good at keeping secrets, and I'm probably the same. We share stories about times when we had to keep big secrets, like surprising a boyfriend or keeping a friend's proposal a secret. We also talk about how it's not good to lie, but sometimes you have to lie to keep a secret. We use phrases like reveal to talk about sharing a secret, and proud to describe how we feel when we keep a secret. We also discuss how it's not good to be a liar, and how being honest is important. Additionally, we mention accidents that can happen when keeping secrets, and how it's good to be honest and not keep secrets from our friends.
In conclusion, secrets can be good or bad, depending on the situation. We should try to be honest and not lie, but sometimes it's necessary to keep a secret. We hope you learned some new vocabulary and phrases, like open book and keep a secret. Thanks for listening to Real Easy English, and we'll be back next week with another conversation in easy English.
