Summary: Do you ever just know something? You can’t explain how or why, but you are sure that you are right. Perhaps, you have a hunch that it is going to rain, even though there isn’t a cloud in the sky. Or maybe, you meet someone and know right away that you are going to be friends. Feelings like these are hard to explain, but they are also very common. In fact, they are so common that there is a word for them: a gut feeling.A gut feeling is an instinct or intuition. Your gut is another word for your stomach, so a gut feeling is something you feel in your stomach or chest. Don’t confuse this with a stomachache! A gut feeling does not have anything to do with being sick. You may not have any logical reason for a gut feeling, but that doesn’t mean you should ignore it. Sometimes, gut feelings can save a person’s life! For example, maybe, you had a hunch that you should not get on a certain train, then found out later that the train had crashed. Your intuition warned you about the danger. However, sometimes, a gut feeling does not pay off, and our instincts are wrong.Watch the video to see if Andy’s gut feeling pays off in this episode. -- View this and other great English lessons at www.englishbaby.com
