Go Super to Listen Go Super!

Sometimes knowing the right idiom can be a matter of life or death. If something is about to hit someone, or something dangerous is about to happen, you have less than a second to say the right thing and save that person from harm. The short and useful phrase you need is look out!

When you say look out to someone, it makes them stop what they are doing and look around and be careful. If someone is about to walk in front of a bus, you would shout look out to stop them.

Of course, look out can be used in less serious situations too. For instance, if you throw a ball at your friend and it’s about to hit him in the head, you could say look out and he might notice the ball in time to catch it.

Can you think of another time it would be helpful to say look out?

Examples

1. Examples - Hear some example sentences.

Look out, ma’am! You could get hit by a car in that street.”

Ola, I jumped into the snow right after the hot sauna. It is undescribable pleasure. I like to jump into the cold water right after the sauna.

A drunkard becomes sober forever! Why? Special kind of hormones are getting released while you’re in the cold water. Kind of shock therapy.

Each one prefer his place temperature. I think a good one would be 29 celsius, for all people around the world.  At this temperature you can be wearing a suite, wearing shorts part, or being naked…

Buttafly, I’m going to do that too, but i need to know what preparation should be taken because the only thing I can do so far is to empty a bucket of cold freezing water on myself. There should be some training for that, or you’ll get the fate of Roosevelt, God forbid.

The contrast of temperatures improvers the circulation of the blood. It makes your immunity stronger and it is a pleasure at long last.
