10 USEFUL and COMMON English expressions with "THING"

In this video, I teach 10 useful and common English phrases and expressions which contain the word "thing".

"Thing" is one of the best and worst words in the English language. It's the least specific word which makes it extremely versatile. However, you should avoid using "thing" too much, especially if you're planning on taking an English exam, as you need to be able to express yourself more precisely at an advanced level.
