| Phrase | reality |
| Text | The word "reality," in this podcast, refers to what really exists, not things that are imaginary or fake: "Jesse couldn't accept the reality of his wife's pregnancy until he saw her belly begin to grow." The phrase "reality TV" refers to TV shows that show the lives and behaviors of ordinary people, not actors: "Are you watching that reality TV show where people switch places and live another person's life for a week?" Finally, the phrase "a reality check" is an opportunity to consider what is really happening in a situation, rather than what one wants or hopes will happen: "I know you dream of marrying Serena, but it's time for a reality check. She doesn't want to date you!" |
