| Phrase | drill |
| Text | The word "drill," in this podcast, refers to a machine that makes holes in something: "You'll need a special drill if you want to put a nail into a concrete wall." A "fire drill" happens when people who live, work, or study in a particular building are told to pretend that there is an actual fire, so that they can practice how they should act and where they should go: "I know fire drills are important for safety, but did the apartment manager have to do one in the middle of the night when we were all sleeping?" Finally, the phrase "the drill" refers to how things are normally done: "After a week of training, the new employees understood the drill and were able to work without help." |
