The intro

(Listening Comprehension)

Hey what's up ? It's Mr.Wong here. The idiom for today is..."around-the-clock". The definition of "around-the-clock" is all day and all night, an entire 24-hour day. So when you're working around-the-clock, you're busy all day and all night long. The phrase "around-the-clock" is commonly used when someone is hard at work, or is doing something difficult. You might say that a new baby seems to cry around-the- clock, or that the emergency room in your city is busy around-the-clock. It's easy to understand how this saying arose when you imagine the hour hand on a clock moving all the way around its face twice — in other words, marking a whole day. Check it out !
