0:00.0	Hello everybody. My name is Coach Shane and welcome to Easy English Expressions.
0:11.1	Come on, let's master English.
0:14.8	Hello, everyone. Welcome back to Daily Easy English Expression, the podcast.
0:21.5	This is number 1,052.
0:25.3	Today's expression is, by the book.
0:29.4	Yes, by the book.
0:31.5	B-Y, not B-U-Y, B-Y, B-Y, B-Y, B-Y, B-O-O-K-K. By the book is a great expression and it means following the rules.
0:45.0	I live life by the book. I follow the rules of life.

1:52.6	jail. You need to go live by the book. You need to live according to the rules in the book. All right. So you can apply this to

2:13.3	Okay? Does that make sense? Check out a dialogue.
2:16.9	I got an A in English, but I still can't speak.
