Newly released figures show that the eurozone (countries that use the Euro) has gone into recession for the first time in its history. Germany went into recession on Thursday, prompting fears that other major economies might follow suit. Greg Morsbach has more:
The Spanish government also reported its first negative growth in fifteen years.
But France bucked the trend of gloomy news today: they defied economic forecasts and narrowly escaped recession by announcing minimal growth for the period between July and September.

Diferencia entre TO BE WORRIED , TO WORRY
En To worry , usamos el verbo de una forma activa, he indica que el hablante esta casi siempre preocupado. Es por ejemplo el caso de una madre, que siempre se preocupa por su hijo
En To be worried about, vemos una estructura pasiva, el hablante parece que esta hablando de un sentimiento especifico, en este momento, mientras habla .Ademas menciona la causa ( about you, tu eres la causa)
EXPRESION ” TO RUN OUT THE DOOR”
esta es una expresion q significa , escapar, huir de casa
WORK OUT ( esta aqui mas detallado que en otro post q lo comparaba con otro phrasal verb)
We’ve only been sharing the flat for a few days. We haven’t worked out who’s going to do which bits of housework yet.
I’ve added up all the household expenses and divided them between the three of us and it works out at £63 a month each.
