Hello everyone! Justin here and welcome
back to another Bizmates for Beginners
0:00:04.230,0:00:08.309
video lesson where every week we
introduced a new idiom, phrase, or
0:00:08.309,0:00:12.599
expression that you can use in your
daily business conversation. This week
0:00:12.599,0:00:17.699
everyone, it's time to learn:
Turn Over A New Leaf.
0:00:17.699,0:00:23.010
Turn over a new leaf. It's an interesting
expression, so let's find out how to use
0:00:23.010,0:00:28.890
it. But first, let's do a quick review of
last week's class. Alright everyone, so
0:00:28.890,0:00:35.560
imagine I said: I finally achieved the
target! So how do you respond to that
0:00:35.560,0:00:39.420
with the expression from last week?
You've got five seconds to think about it.
0:00:39.420,0:00:41.980
Are you ready? Okay and go!
0:00:46.560,0:00:51.040
Alright and time is up. If you said: Wow! Hats off to you!
0:00:51.040,0:00:55.320
Then that's exactly right. Well done
and good job. Thank you for remembering
0:00:55.320,0:01:01.379
last week's class. Okay,
let's learn: Turn Over A New Leaf. Okay,
0:01:01.379,0:01:07.920
now this is what I sometimes hear. Okay, so let's imagine that I am well, I know
0:01:07.920,0:01:12.960
I'm not a perfect person. But let's
imagine I drink a lot, maybe I'm drinking
0:01:12.960,0:01:18.420
too much beer these days. So maybe my
health condition is not so good. So I say:
0:01:18.420,0:01:28.320
Yes, I should stop drinking so much! And
Taro says: Yes. It's time to reform your
0:01:28.320,0:01:35.310
action! To change your behavior to do
something better than what you've been
0:01:35.310,0:01:40.439
doing so far. Okay, so to reform your
action, okay yes that's good. The words
0:01:40.439,0:01:47.100
make sense but not so natural.
Instead, Taro could say: That's right.
0:01:47.100,0:01:54.119
It's time to turn over a new leaf! Time
to improve yourself, time to do something
0:01:54.119,0:02:00.329
better. So for example, if I'm drinking
too much, maybe I can cut down or reduce
0:02:00.329,0:02:06.689
the amount I drink. Or let's say I'm not
being very active, I'm a little bit lazy
0:02:06.689,0:02:12.720
so I should do some exercise. I need to
change my lifestyle, I need to improve
0:02:12.720,0:02:17.670
myself, I need to turn over a new leaf. Okay?
0:02:17.670,0:02:21.780
Alright, so yes it's a very good expression.
So please remember this for the review
0:02:21.780,0:02:28.710
next week. Okay, so the pronunciation: Turn
Over A New Leaf. Okay? So the N and the O
0:02:28.710,0:02:34.260
here. They join so it sounds like
turnover. It's not turn over. Okay? So we
0:02:34.260,0:02:40.320
can combine those together turn over a
new leaf. Okay, so turn over and then a
0:02:40.320,0:02:45.340
little pause here. A new leaf. Alright,
so one chunk here. One chunk here. So
0:02:45.340,0:02:50.000
please repeat after me: It's time to turn
over a new leaf. Your turn!
0:02:52.740,0:02:59.480
Okay, now after my sentence here: Yeah I
really should stop drinking so much!
0:03:02.520,0:03:06.120
That's right. Very good. Yeah it's time to
turn over a new leaf. Maybe start
0:03:06.120,0:03:12.540
drinking more water for example okay alright. So okay let's move on to the bonus
0:03:12.540,0:03:18.360
question this week, which is another way
to say: It was very easy. Alright so we
0:03:18.360,0:03:24.630
covered this way back in one of our
older videos. So it's in the early two
0:03:24.630,0:03:29.550

check it out, if not well you can see the
0:03:29.550,0:03:34.050
