Hello everyone and welcome to another
Bizmates for Beginners video lesson
0:00:05.609,0:00:09.960
where every week, we introduce a new
idiom, phrase or expression that you can
0:00:09.960,0:00:15.020
use in your daily business conversation.
This week, everyone, we are going to learn
0:00:15.020,0:00:21.180
"bang for your buck." OK? So to find out
what this means and how to use it, please
0:00:21.180,0:00:26.640
stay tuned, but first, as always, everyone,
let's start with a quick review of last
0:00:26.640,0:00:34.440
week's lesson. OK, everyone. So imagine I
ask you "Should we meet again before we
0:00:34.440,0:00:40.440
begin working on the new project?" But you think we need to start as soon as
0:00:40.440,0:00:47.100
possible. We've already met so many times. So let's start. How do you say that using
0:00:47.100,0:00:51.000
the expression from last week? I'll give
you five seconds to think about it. Are
0:00:51.000,0:01:01.890
you ready? OK, and go. Alright and time
is up. If you said "Yeah I think we should
0:01:01.890,0:01:07.290
get the ball rolling as soon as possible.
And that's exactly right. Well done and
0:01:07.290,0:01:12.360
thank you for remembering last week's
lesson everyone. OK, let's move on to "a
0:01:12.360,0:01:19.350
bang for your buck." Now this is what I
sometimes hear, OK? I have an upcoming
0:01:19.350,0:01:25.320
business trip, OK? I need to go to New
York. So I am asking my colleague and my
0:01:25.320,0:01:30.509
good friend Taro if he has some
suggestions for me. So I say"Taro, I'm
0:01:30.509,0:01:36.270
going to New York, so which hotel should
I book for my business trip? There's so
0:01:36.270,0:01:43.110
many hotels. I don't know which one is
good. Taro says "Well, I suggest the
0:01:43.110,0:01:50.280
Crossroads Hotel." it's a really good cost
performance." OK, so good value for my
0:01:50.280,0:01:55.950
money. If I pay this much money, I can get
maybe good or even really great service.
0:01:55.950,0:02:01.229
So it's good cost performance. Now this
is OK, but it's not very very natural
0:02:01.229,0:02:07.399
in this situation. Now you might hear a
native English speaker say this. "I
0:02:07.399,0:02:12.989
suggest the Crossroads Hotel. It's a real
bang for your buck. OK? So you get
0:02:12.989,0:02:16.530
really good value for your money. it's a real bang
0:02:16.530,0:02:23.220
for your buck. OK? So a buck actually
means dollar or dollars, so one buck two
0:02:23.220,0:02:27.180
bucks. It's a little bit of a casual
expression, but you might hear someone
0:02:27.180,0:02:31.560
say it's real... it's a real bang for your
buck. So it's a really good value for
0:02:31.560,0:02:36.300
your money spent.
OK, so pronunciation. As you see it here,
0:02:36.300,0:02:40.470
everyone, so please repeat after me. Bang
for your buck.
0:02:40.470,0:02:47.340
OK, bang for your buck. So go ahead. Good. Alright, now after my question.
0:02:47.340,0:02:56.100
So which hotel should I book for my
business trip? Good. OK. So you suggest
0:02:56.100,0:03:00.450
Crossroads Hotel. It's a real bang for
your buck. Or I might ask you a question
0:03:00.450,0:03:05.340
like "Which restaurant do you think I
should take our clients to?" Well,
0:03:05.340,0:03:09.450
something that you know isn't too cheap
but has good value for money.
0:03:09.450,0:03:12.870
So you might say "I recommend this
restaurant. That's a real bang for your
0:03:12.870,0:03:16.080
buck." OK? Alright, so please remember this for
0:03:16.080,0:03:20.580
next time, everyone. OK. Our bonus
question this week is another way to say
0:03:20.580,0:03:24.960
"I'll be there very soon." If you know what
the answer is to this, please feel free
0:03:24.960,0:03:29.490
to leave it in the comments below. If not,
don't worry you can find it in one of
0:03:29.490,0:03:33.750
our previous Bizmates for Beginners
video lessons. So take a look if you have
0:03:33.750,0:03:38.550
the time. Alright everyone, so that is
it for me this week. Thank you always for
0:03:38.550,0:03:44.060
watching. Have a great weekend everyone
and I'll see you next time. Bye bye.
