English Idiom: Kill time
Trains are a part of life in Japan.
They arrive and depart mainly on schedule, but unfortunately, they are not always there when you need them.
What do you do?
Well, you have to kill time.
Most people these days do something to kill time on their smartphones, such as reading this Artisanenglish.jp blog or booking a lesson with me.
Honestly, that would not only be killing time but killing two birds with one stone.
But seriously, some people read eBooks, and others browse the web.
The main thing to know for today’s post is that they are all killing time.
