It's always amazing to find how many proverbs different languages have in common. For example, we have this same proverb in Italian " Una mela al giorno toglie il medico di torno".
wo fratello cccalmati
Yes we also have the same one
the same in France with more, with humor : "if we aim well"
This video very helpful for me to get more voccabalaries and fluency in English, thanks a lot for making this type of videos.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you.
thanks BBC! My summary while listening English has many proverbs that give a piece of advice or common sense such as "actions speak louder than words", and "don't judge a book by its cover." Proverbs are found in many cultures and languages and are often passed down through generations to teach children lessons in life. One famous English proverb is "An apple a day keeps a doctor away." that means fresh fruits are good for us but is it really true, does eating apples have significant health benefits? - that's the main question to be discussing today. According to Dr. Michael Mosley, whenever he's peckish, he often snacks on an apple which is not only delicious but also improves his blood flow, boosts his brain, and trims his waistline. Also, what he loves about apples is that they are so versatile. He's been snacking on them, grating them into his porridge, and having them sliced with full-fat yogurt as a dessert. But baked apples are one of his favorite ways to consume them.
Thank you for your help

Apples rock!
Some people don't eat fruits when they are hungry because they need something salty. However, it's very important to eat fruits. If that happens to us, we should force ourselves to eat them.
Apple is useful fruits in our daily life.
