| Phrase | pace of life |
| Text | In this podcast, the phrase "pace of life" describes how rushed, stressed, worried, and anxious people are: "Many young people enjoy the faster pace of life in cities, but then they want to slow down as they get older." The phrase "at breakneck pace" means very quickly, almost out of control: "Everyone is working at breakneck pace to meet the client's deadline." The phrase "at a snail's pace" has the opposite meaning and is used to mean very slowly: "Traffic is moving at a snail's pace, so I'll arrive late." Finally, the phrase "at (one's) own pace" means at the speed one prefers, without worrying about how quickly others are doing something: "Sam was a great boss, because he let us work at our own pace as long as we were able to show progress." |
