but they also call apple juice AJ? And while we're at it
why can't we compare apples and oranges? Third question

does it become hard apple cider? Why or why not? Why do they call them soft drinks and hard drinks

Are the health benefits of apples really that great, or is it just an exaggeration

Here are some bonus idioms for ESL students. An apple a day keeps the doctor away
This means eat a healthy diet and you'll never have to go see the doctor
You won't have to go see the doctor very often. You're the apple of my eye
That means you're someone special. You're really special to me. Comparing apples to oranges
This means it's an unfair comparison. You can't compare things that are
not similar in some way. For example, you can't compare dogs and computers
Apples and oranges are kind of similar, but not exactly. One bad apple doesn't spoil the whole bunch
That means just because one member of the group is not good
it doesn't mean everybody in the group is bad. As American as apple pie
That means something that is deeply part of American culture. Apple pie represents something that is
part of American culture. How do you like them apples or those apples
That means, hey, look at what I did. I'm proud of my accomplishments
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. That means something like, like father, like son
Like mother, like daughter. The child is very much like the parent
Some other expressions from this video. Different ways to say, I don't know
I have no idea. You got me. Who knows? Don't ask me
Here are some more expressions. What in the world? Or why in the world
How in the world? It just means we're adding emphasis to the question
What in the world are you doing? This means what are you doing
but we're emphasizing that question. I'll tell you what. Here's an idea for you to consider
Put on your thinking cap. Think carefully about it. Sometimes it's a riddle
Think carefully about this riddle. Funny bone is your sense of humor
Give it your best shot. That means try your best. Nevermind. Forget it
It's not that important. Some other vocabulary words from the video. Whatever means I don't care
Do what you want. Squeeze. That means press something together on itself
usually to get juice out of it. Exaggerate or exaggeration. That means when you say something
to make something sound bigger and better than it actually is. Hope you enjoyed that
