Neil and Georgina teach you the language the world’s media is using to discuss this news story. Some tourists have been rescued from a Scottish mountain. They had a lucky escape after getting stuck on Britain’s highest mountain in Scotland in freezing weather.
The story:
The group of four were found by Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team in an ice-bound gully. The team said they could easily have fallen hundreds of feet. They did not have ice axes or crampons, which are essential for winter climbing. They had no map, and three of them were wearing trainers.
Vocabulary:
clowns
people who behave in a silly way
• Stop driving like a clown – you’ll get us killed!
• The kids were clowning around instead of cleaning their room.
bunch
group of things of the same type gathered together
• I met a bunch of mates for dinner last night.
• There was a bunch of rowdy teenagers at the party.
cut them some slack
be less critical of them
• We need to cut him some slack for his lateness. He has a young baby.
• Rob ate the last biscuit, but I cut him some slack as he’s hungry!

That a bunch of people dont wear mask when moving in the public at the corona pandemic makes them like a clown, but we should cut them some slack because they probably have exceptional reason which get them cant wear mask

Very important clawns.silly
I think subtitle for the whole video would be helpful for English learners.
Thank you.
People should not only cut others some slack, but they shouldn't also critisize them with insulting oder sarcastic words.Regardless of the age of the climbers, we can emagine that they were in panic.
Mountains aren't just funny – they are hill areas.
Thanks a bunch BBC Learning English, as Neil said before in "Thanks… '2 million'? ☺️☺️☺️" video.
Psychologists say that we should cut teenagers some slack. If we cut them some slack. They will stop clowning but unfortunately only bunch of parents cut them some slack.
Really interesting video! Thanks so much

It will be great if you show one or two synonyms for each new word or phrase. It'll helps us to discribe your language.
