Hello everyone! Justin here and welcome
back to another Bizmates for Beginners
0:00:04.620,0:00:09.660
video lesson where every week we
introduce a new idiom, phrase, or expression
0:00:09.660,0:00:14.790
that you can use in your daily business
conversation. This week everyone we are
0:00:14.790,0:00:21.029
going to learn: Stop And Smell The Roses.
Okay, so it's an interesting expression.
0:00:21.029,0:00:25.890
Let's find out what it means and how to
use it. But first as always, let's begin
0:00:25.890,0:00:31.500
with a quick review of last week's
lesson. Okay everyone, so imagine I say:
0:00:31.500,0:00:37.890
What you're thinking about changing jobs?
But you don't really know yet, so you
0:00:37.890,0:00:44.040
want me to keep this information kind of
secret. So how do you say that using the
0:00:44.040,0:00:48.500
expression from last week? We'll give you
five seconds. You ready? Okay, go!
0:00:53.280,0:00:59.640
Alright and time is up if you said: Yeah maybe.
But please keep it on the down-low.
0:00:59.640,0:01:03.390
Alright then, that's exactly right. Well
done, thank you for remembering last
0:01:03.390,0:01:09.720
week's class. Okay, let's move on to: Stop
And Smell The Roses. Now this is what I
0:01:09.720,0:01:16.080
sometimes hear. Okay, so it is a really
really busy time at the office and I
0:01:16.080,0:01:20.909
need to come to the office even on the
weekends. So I talked to my good friend
0:01:20.909,0:01:26.130
and colleague Taro. I say: Taro, yeah I
think I need to come to the office again
0:01:26.130,0:01:31.049
this weekend. There are so many things I
need to do. Just not enough time.
0:01:31.049,0:01:37.680
Taro says: Again?! Justin you should
relax.
0:01:37.680,0:01:42.180
Okey, yeah I agree relaxation is very
important. Thank you for the advice Taro.
0:01:42.180,0:01:46.530
Now he said you should relax, yeah this
is fine, it's simple. But if you wanted to
0:01:46.530,0:01:51.030
add a little spice to your English and
use a more interesting expression, you
0:01:51.030,0:01:57.420
can say: Yeah again Justin!? You really
should just you know stop and smell the
0:01:57.420,0:02:03.329
roses. Okay that means just take some
time to relax. Don't always think about
0:02:03.329,0:02:09.239
work. You need to enjoy the beauty of
life. Just enjoy the simple things. Take
0:02:09.239,0:02:14.190
it easy, relax, go for a walk stop, and
smell the roses.
0:02:14.190,0:02:19.110
Okay, so I know all of us are very very
busy right. We work very hard every day
0:02:19.110,0:02:24.930
but it's very important to just know how
to enjoy life. Do take it easy sometimes
0:02:24.930,0:02:28.620
to stop and smell the roses. Okay
everyone?
0:02:28.620,0:02:33.150
Alright, so pronunciation. It's as you see
it here, so please repeat after me:
0:02:33.150,0:02:36.660
You should stop and smell the roses.
Your turn.
