| Text | In this podcast, the word "bit" means the metal bar that is put in a horse's mouth and held between its teeth, attached to the bridle and used to control how the horse moves: "Is it difficult to teach a horse to use a bit?" A "bit" also means a small piece or a small amount of something: "This room would look better with a bit of color on the walls." The phrase "to do (one's) bit" means to do what one is supposed to in order to help a group reach a goal or as part of a project: "Some people think that they're doing their bit for the environment by recycling, but that's just the beginning." Finally, the phrase "a little bit" means somewhat or maybe: "Nick was a little bit sad when he heard he didn't get the job, but he's confident he'll find something soon." |
