| Phrase | labor |
| Text | In this podcast, the phrase "child labor" refers to the use of children, especially those under the age of 16, to perform work, especially in a factory: "The news commentator said that if people really cared about children in developing countries, they wouldn't buy inexpensive products made in factories that rely on child labor." If a woman "is in labor," she is in the process of giving birth to a baby: "Maya was in labor for almost eight hours before the baby was born." Finally, the phrase "a labor of love" refers to something that is very difficult or challenging, but that is done because the person loves it and thinks it is important: "Building cribs and sewing baby blankets for each of the grandchildren takes hours, but it is a labor of love." |
