| Text | The word "ratings," in this podcast, means information about how popular something is, especially about how many people view or participate in something: "You can learn a lot about a culture by studying which TV shows have the highest ratings." An "approval rating" is a number that shows how many people think a politician is doing a good job: "The president's approval rating decreased as unemployment increased." A "credit rating" is a numerical score that indicates how much money one owes and whether one pays bills on time, often determining if one qualifies for a credit card or a loan: "Getting a mortgage to buy a home is almost impossible if you don't have a good credit rating." Finally, when talking about movies, the "rating" is a letter code that indicates whether they are appropriate for children: "They let their children watch movies only if they have a G or PG rating." |
