  • Billy I'll ish is this year's big winner at the Grammys.

  • We've got the language.

  • You need to talk about this story.

  • I'm Georgina and I'm Catherine.

  • Let's hear more about this from this radio.

  • One news report has become the youngest person to win the four biggest awards at the Grammys.

  • She took home best new artist record of the year, Song of the year and album of the year.

  • So many others.

  • I don't deserve this.

  • Thank you so much.

  • Um, this is my first Grammys.

  • I never thought this would ever happen in my whole life.

  • Billy Island just don't really well at the 2020 Grammys.

  • In fact, she's the youngest person at 18 years old to win all four Grammys in one year.

  • She won best new artist record of the year, song of the year and album of the year, so she won the Big Four.

  • She replaces Taylor Swift as the youngest person ever to win album of the year.

  • Two.

  • So what an achievement.

  • It's an amazing achievement, isn't it?

  • Yes, I think they should have had an award for Heras.

  • Well, yes, we have that fantastic green hair.

  • Yeah, great.

  • Really.

  • really good, and you've been looking at the headlines around these stories.

  • You've got three words and expressions that are being used in the headlines.

  • What have we got?

  • We've got makes history, cleans up on dhe scoops, makes history, cleans up on dhe scoops.

  • Can we have a look at your first headline?

  • The first headline is From The Evening Standard.

  • Ana is Billy.

  • I'll ish makes history at the Grammys.

  • See the four winners list here makes history.

  • Does something significant that has not been done before Now.

  • I made a fruitcake weekend, and it turns out that is actually the first fruit cake I've ever made in my life on it was a good word.

  • So can I say I made history?

  • You could definitely on a personal level, but that's not how we normally use it.

  • It's normally used to talk about big achievement, so that definitely is for you, but big achievements that people in the public arena want to know about and want to talk about in the future on.

  • That's why, when Billy Irish won the Big Four at the Grammys, she made history because it hasn't been done by someone of her age in before, and it's also very newsworthy.

  • Where is my little fruitcake is not newsworthy beyond my house?

  • No.

  • As if you made the biggest fruitcake in the world, that may be.

  • Maybe we could get you in the pen.

  • Chris.

  • I'm going to do that.

  • Next, we could watch the head lanes.

  • Catherine from BBC Living English makes history with the biggest food cake in the world.

  • You never know anyway.

  • So Billy Relish made history.

  • Is it only about sort of musical achievements and things like that?

  • Was there any other ways we can use?

  • Make history?

  • No, it it can be used in when we're talking about a sporting events as well for breaking records and smashing records.

  • So you might say that the sprinter made history beating the world record, but it can.

  • Another example would be which isn't about sports, but it's about something huge.

  • Neil Armstrong made history by landing on the moon, so this is quite sort of headlining as well, isn't it?

  • It's summaries, or is it used in sort of everyday speech?

  • Was it more like it?

  • Sort of.

  • I was.

  • And it's more about in announcements of headlines.

  • But also in the main body of the article as well.

  • If they're going to talk about it, explain it a bit further as well.

  • Lovely.

  • Let's see all that on a slide.

  • Andi, it's time for your next headline, please.

  • Our next headline is from the Express.

  • Ana is Grammys 2020 winners see the full list of winners as Billy I'll ish, Cleans up, cleans up, wins everything.

  • Now this is a phrase.

  • A boob, isn't it?

  • It is.

  • So it's made up of a verb.

  • Cleans c l E A n s on dhe up, which is a proposition or adverb.

  • U p on it's used in this context.

  • Well, let's think about it.

  • Listen about Rob.

  • So I like thinking about Rob.

  • If you offered Rob a huge or big plate of biscuits, what would happen?

  • Robert did every single biscuit on the place.

  • He wouldn't leave any that all be gone.

  • It would be a CZ if there had never bean any biscuits on the plate at all.

  • Yes, so it's no, he doesn't go and cleans the plate, does he?

  • He just basically eat everything on it, so there's nothing left.

  • There's nothing left so you could say Rob cleaned up the plate of biscuits as and he literally removed everything, took it all the way.

  • He took it all away.

  • He removed everything.

  • It can also be used in a similar way to talk about.

  • For example, when Billy I'll ish, she took away all the awards.

  • She didn't eat the awards.

  • She didn't clean the awards, but she took them away.

  • She won.

  • All of the big award was like Rob took away all the biscuits.

  • Yes, so the idea is Take them all for yourself and there's nothing left for us audios.

  • And she wanted the four bigger war.

  • So she want all the big awards and took them away, quite rightly, for herself.

  • Fantastic.

  • Is it all again?

  • Only is the only music or coming uses in a wider context is, well, we can't use it in a wider context, so it could be used in the sporting context again.

  • So you could say the gymnast Simone Biles cleaned up at the 2016 Olympics, and in fact, it's ending competitions where the sport music anywhere where there's competition, sag, awards lines, lots of them, you clean up exactly.

  • There's another exile put my school choir cleaned up at the music competition so it could be used in that contact.

  • Lovely.

  • Any synonyms?

  • Yeah, very good.

  • Synonym would be sweep supports.

  • You could say, Billy, I'll ish sweeps aboard at the Grammys or Billy I'll ish cleans up at the Grammys.

  • Fantastic.

  • And let's have a look at all of that on a slide.

  • Now it's awards season.

  • We're covering the awards on.

  • We have a recent program for you, which is all about the Joker who cleaned up when it comes to nominations at the BAFTAs Haven't way.

  • Yeah, In fact, I think he they were nominated.

  • Know him The film for 11 nominations on You Can Watch the News Review program.

  • Just click on the link below.

  • This is news review from BBC Learning English.

  • Let's have our third and final headline.

  • So the headline is from the Mirror and is Billy I'll ish spotted pleading not to win Grammys Album of the year as she scoops five gongs, scoops, wins several awards.

  • Now this is a lovely word to say, isn't it?

  • Georgina scoops It is.

  • It's on.

  • It's about S C.

  • O P s scoops.

  • It's a regular verb.

  • A swell.

  • So you just add on e d a.

  • The end.

  • But when you're saying it in the past, it's actually I scooped, so their end pronunciation is a T in scooped, scooped.

  • Yes, Now Katherine Jack ice cream.

  • Well, I do like ice cream.

  • I really like ice cream as it goes, but I can't eat too much of it when I have ice cream.

  • I usually only have one scoop.

  • Okay, so I could go and fight in my scream and I could get to my scoop, that big sort of metal spoon thing.

  • And I could go and I could scoop up lots and lots and lots of ice cream into one big ball of ice cream.

  • Andi, give it to you So the ball is called a school, and the tool is called the school, and the actual reaction is to scoop ice cream.

  • There's a kind of sense of gathering, gathering, gathering things together.

  • So in the headline they're using in the context that Billy has come along, not really.

  • This is just a figuratively with a scoop, and she has scooped up all the four big awards on taken them away So she obviously doesn't have a school because she had a huge, big, massive scoop in scooped up rewards yet, but she didn't.

  • But what she did do was she won the four bigger war.

  • So she literally came along on Dhe.

  • She won them, so it's a kind of figurative action off, scooping them all up.

  • So it's quite similar to cleans up in meaning, isn't it?

  • It is very similar to cleans up.

  • Is it only when we go for winning?

  • Lots of things.

  • You know, you could also use it when you win something unexpectedly.

  • So, for example, unknown Director Scoops International Film Festival award.

  • So if you've got a director, an award, everyone thinks Director is going to win because he or she is really famous and successful.

  • And then the award actually goes to someone we never met before.

  • Exactly.

  • So you weren't He wasn't expecting to win, but he did win.

  • Okay, So, Billy, I wish was that expected or not Expected?

  • Isn't surprising that she won't.

  • I think it was pretty surprising that she won all four big awards, I think definitely So it was surprising that she won them, and it was also the fact that she managed to win them all at the same time.

  • So it's a bit of a combination of Bobo feelings.

  • Okay, thank you very much.

  • Come.

  • We see a slight no time for a vocabulary.

  • Wreak up.

  • Yes.

  • So he had a makes history does something significant that has not been done before.

  • Cleans up, wins everything on dhe scoops, wins several awards.

  • Thank you so much.
