Here are the example sentences. To get the details of this English lesson, you need to listen to the podcast or check the transcript for the details:
- When I saw the water boiling over on the stove, I turned off the gas immediately.
- I’ll be there shortly (or) I’ll be there soon.
- I’ll be finished shortly (or) I’ll be finished soon.
- Soon, we will be able to have self driving cars.
- Soon, computers will be able to have intelligence like humans.
- Soon, ordinary people will have the chance to fly into space.

Followers are used to opening Michael’s e-mails at the drop of the hat(at once) Sometimes, they don’t immediately respond because they’re busy as a bee(beaver). Soon, he will be astounded with his followers’ answers and perhaps he will have to move quickly (as fast as lightning) to send them responses .
I try to be as fast as lightening, but many of my fans and followers here beat me too the punch!
