Learn the English Term "a breeze" and the Phrase "take the easy way out"

Read along to practice your English and to learn the English term A BREEZE and the phrase TAKE THE EASY WAY OUT

In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English term "a breeze." When we say something is a breeze, or something we did in the past was a breeze, we mean it was really, really easy. A few days ago, I did some work around the farm, and it was a breeze because I used the tractor. I had to move some dirt and instead of using a shovel, which would've made it really, really hard, I used the tractor and that made it a breeze. So when you say something's a breeze, it means it's really, really easy. I hope the next time you have an English conversation, I hope it's a breeze for you. I hope the next time you take an English test, I hope it's a breeze. I hope it's really, really easy and you just enjoy it while you're doing it, because it's so simple and easy to do. I hope it's a breeze.

The other phrase I wanted to teach you today is the phrase "take the easy way out." So I know the two phrases aren't really related today. I mean, when you say something's a breeze, it means it's easy so it's kind of related, but when you take the easy way out, it means you do the easiest way possible when you're doing something. I could have moved the dirt with a shovel, but I took the easy way out and used the tractor instead. That was just a lot simpler, and I wasn't as tired as I would have been if I had used the shovel. Maybe when you're studying English and you don't understand what you're reading, you take the easy way out and you copy and paste everything into Google Translate to see what it is in your own language. You take the easy way out. It's not always good to take the easy way out. Sometimes it's a good idea, but sometimes it's better to do it the hard way.
Anyways, to review, when you say something is a breeze, it means that it is easy. It's a breeze for me to make these videos usually. Today, it's a little cold though. I'll talk about that in a while, in just a little bit. And when you take the easy way out, it means you decide to do something in the easiest way possible. It's good to do that sometimes.
I don't think I- I did bring the comment out. Once again, I'm losing track of where I put the comment. Hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This is from write Winter. "I like the view behind you. Fall is the proof that change may be beautiful." And my response, that's a great quote. And it is, the last video was a lot of fun. I was able to walk around in the town where I work and give you a little bit of a view of what fall looks like.
Fall on the farm continues as well, and I would agree with that quote. I mean, the change that I see around me right now, if you think about it, is beautiful, but it's also a little bit sad because we're looking at things that are actually going to sleep and disappearing for the winter. So as much as it's beautiful, the change is easier to take I guess, because it is beautiful.
You can actually see there's a carpet of leaves behind me. I'm gonna take the easy way out with these leaves. I'm just just gonna let them blow away instead of raking them up. I'm just gonna take the easy way out. We don't often rake our leaves, by the way, because yeah, there's no need to. They just blow away eventually.
