| Text | The word "instant," in this podcast, means immediate, right away, and without a delay: "When we pay bills online, we receive instant confirmation that the funds have been transferred." When talking about food, "instant" describes something that can be made very quickly: "This is instant oatmeal, so you just need to add hot water and then it's ready to eat." The word "instant" sometimes means a moment, or a very short period of time: "Never turn your back on a toddler near a swimming pool. They can drown in just an instant." Finally, the phrase "instant replay" describes the use of video to see a sports play again immediately after it was performed: "It looked like the player just fell, but with instant replay, we could see that she had been pushed." |
