It’s getting worse means things are not going as well as they used to, like when your favorite ice cream starts melting faster than it should.

Imagine you have a toy car that zooms around the room. At first, it goes really fast and doesn’t stop for long. But over time, it starts slowing down more and more, maybe even stops halfway through its race. That’s it getting worse, the car isn’t as good at racing anymore.

Think of it like climbing stairs. At first, you can run up them easily. But if your legs get tired or the steps become taller, each step feels harder than the last. You still climb the stairs, but it takes more effort, that’s it getting worse too.

Your teacher used to say “good job” after every test. But now, she only says it once in a while. That means your tests might not be as good as they were before, and that’s it getting worse, right there.
