| Text | The word "rundown," in this podcast, means an overview or a brief summary of something: "A good movie review provides a rundown of the film and lets readers know whether the movie is worth seeing in the theater." If a building is described as "run down," it is not in good condition, usually old and falling apart: "The only apartments we can afford are really run down." The phrase "run-down" can also describe someone who is very tired and does not have much energy: "The cancer treatments left Sebastian feeling run-down." Finally, a "run-up" is a period of times immediately before something important happens: "Politicians spend a lot of money on television ads in the run-up to the presidential elections." |
