English in a Minute: Stand the Test of Time

Welcome to English in a Minute!

Life can test us in many ways. But how does something “stand the test of time?”

AM: Andrew, I saw the best action film this weekend -- “Super Shark”! You’ve got to see it.

AS: Usually, I only watch classic films with complex story lines.

AM: Well, this film has amazing special effects and AWESOME music.

AS: But classic films stand the test of time. Super Shark will be quickly forgotten.

AM: Not if they make “Super Shark 2.”

HOST: When something stands the test of time, it continues to be respected for a long time. That’s because people consider it to be important or special.

And that’s English in a Minute.---------
