| Phrase | physical |
| Text | The word "physical," in this podcast, means a medical exam, usually conducted once a year, to assess an individual's health and monitor changes over time: "Tracy is looking forward to her next physical, so she can show her doctor how much weight she has lost." The word "physical" can also be used to talk about things we can see and touch: "Teachers shouldn't be expected to teach students until their physical needs are taken care of." Or, "After years of working in an office, it was very challenging for Sam to work in a physical job in construction." Finally, the phrase "a physical relationship" refers to a relationship where people are having sex: "They were best friends for years, but they never had a physical relationship." |
