Text In this podcast, the word "strong" means with a steady value or a value that decreases only very slowly, not dramatically decreasing over time: "When oil prices are strong, gasoline is more expensive." The phrase "to be in a strong position" means to have some advantage in a negotiation and be likely to win: "The buyers knew that the sellers were desperate to move, so they were in a strong position when they made an offer on the house." A person's "strong point" is his or her greatest strength: "Tina doesn't have much experience as the other job applicants, but her good communication skills are a strong point." Finally, the phrase "to be going strong" means to continue to be successful even after someone or something is old and has been doing something for a long time: "The company just turn 135 years old, and it's still going strong."
