Oh,

Welcome to the English we speak with me, Jaying.

And me, Roy. What are you doing? You look really relaxed. Shouldn't you be working? I am working. I'm just enjoying the chilled vibe of working from home.

Is that some kind of juice?

No, Roy, we use the expression vibe to talk about the mood of or a feeling you get

If something or someone has a good vibe, then it means they're cool.

Yes, now you're getting it.

Yeah, you can listen to calming music or play a game to relax.

Things that have a good vibe.

We can talk about how to improve our vibe after these examples. Derek has such a good vibe.

That place has got a really bad vibe. When I walk into the building, I get really anxious
