Read along to practice your English and to learn the English terms BINGE-WORTHY and PAGE-TURNER

In this rainy day English lesson I'd like to help you learn the English term binge-worthy. This is a term we use to describe a TV show that's so amazing, you watch episode after episode until you've watched a whole season, maybe in one night or one weekend, maybe there's eight episodes in a season and you watch them all on one night. One Saturday night you sit down and watch all of them. We would certainly say that that show is binge-worthy. It's worth binging. Binging is when you, when you binge on food you eat a whole bunch of food at once. When you binge on a TV show, you watch a whole bunch of it at the same time, or one after another. So if there is a TV show that you love and you have it on a streaming service where you can watch one episode after another, we would say it is binge-worthy. And you might even tell a friend, "Oh you should watch this show, it's binge-worthy."

The other term I wanted to teach you today is the term page-turner. We use this to refer to a book that's really, really good. If you are reading a book and it's so good, you're just turning pages one after the other as quickly as possible and reading as fast as you can, we say that it is a page-turner.

So to review, if you're watching a TV show and when you're done watching one episode you click play to watch the next one right away, we would probably say that that show is binge-worthy. And if you're reading a book and you can't put it down, you are just reading it as fast as you can, we say that it is a page-turner.

But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. Oh, it's stuck in my pocket. The papers are a little wet 'cause it is raining a bit right now. This comment is from Daniel. "I really like to shop online because oftentimes prices hit rock bottom and I'm able to buy many things I need. Thanks for the lesson teacher Bob." And my response, "I like getting an email alert when something is on sale."

So yes, it is fun to shop online. You can often get really, really low prices, and sometimes I will sign up on a website, on a shopping website and say "Hey, send me an email when this particular item goes on sale." So thanks for the comment, Daniel.

I want to show you that I've been sitting in the house waiting for the rain to stop. Once again, I have on my rubber boots. So you can see here that the driveway has a lot of puddles. You can probably also see maybe a little bit that it's wet out here. Probably better if we look over here. You can hear me splashing through the puddles but you can actually see the water running down the driveway a little bit here, it is awesome. We have had a few days of rain here. We've actually had enough at this point. If it was to stop raining, I would be fine with that, but we weren't expecting this little extra bonus rain. We had already received some rain yesterday. We received some rain this past Saturday. And so this is, I would just call this bonus rain, the soil still had the ability to absorb this rain so it's not like we've had too much.

And if the sun wanted to come out now that would be awesome and fine with me. But once again, as a farmer, you can't really predict these. I think the sun's coming out right now. Oh, well look at that. I can't really shine my camera up there but there's just a small hole in the cloud and the sun came out. I guess maybe I can command the weather now. No, I'm just kidding, I can't do that. Anyways, nice big puddles. Everything is very, very happy. Flowers and crops are going to grow well over th
