English in a Minute: Follow in Someone's Footsteps

Welcome to English in a Minute! These are footsteps. But what could it mean to follow them? Follow in Someone's Footsteps Jonathan: Anna, you got a new accordion! Anna: I want to follow in my mom’s footsteps. Jonathan: Oh, does she play the accordion too? Anna: No. She plays the piano beautifully. Jonathan: Well … then how are you following in her footsteps? Anna: Music, Jonathan. (plays an awful note) When you follow in someone’s footsteps, you do something they also do – like a job or activity. You want to succeed at something like they have. You can follow in anyone's footsteps, not just a parent. And that’s English in a Minute! Originally published at - https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a...
