Hello and welcome to this Bizmates words and phrases video series
and today's phrase:
Show them what you're made of.
I like this.
Words of encouragement.
Shown them what YOU are made of.
You're made of courage. You're made of...
power. Positivity.
OK, we'll talk about what this
means in just a minute
but first let's do our test.
So remember last time I'm your boss
and I say:
Hey, you should review your costs. They seem high.
You understand my point, but you don't really agree.
You say...
There you go.
Point taken.
OK, good hope you got that.
OK, let's go on to today's phrase
Show them what you're made of.
Great, positive, positive phrase.
If you want to give
encouragement to someone
you can use this.
But here's what I sometimes hear.
OK, so let's imagine Taro is my
colleague and I say:
Taro, I I have my promotion test this afternoon.
I'm gonna take an interview with the HR manager
and if I pass I can become...
I don't know, the next rank up.
I have my promotion test.
And Taro says:
Do your best.
OK, this phrase is okay, we often hear this
it's like gambatte. But, you know
instead of just "Good luck. Do your best."
A different expression, this one
you can use instead of always saying
Good luck. Do your best
so this is another expression like that
but one that I don't hear so often from students.
OK, so let's look at this.
So I say:
I have my promotion test this afternoon.
And you can say:
Show them what you're made of.
OK, it's like "do your best" but it's just
a different way of expressing it.
Very natural. So show the HR manager and your boss or whoever
what you are capable of doing.
Show them the skills that you have.
The abilities that you have.
That's what this means. But basically it means
do your best or "good luck"
I think there was a song that had these words.
Show 'em you're a tiger.
Show 'em what you can do. The taste of...
Sorry that was a TV commercial. That was a cereal commercial.
Forget about that. But anyway it's a common phrase "Show them what you're made of."
OK let's look at pronunciation.
It's not show them but it's
Show 'em...
Show 'em what you're mad'ov.
The D and the OV connect.
...mad'ov.
Show 'em what you're mad'ov.
You try.
OK with my sentence:
I have my promotion test this afternoon.
OK, I will. Thanks for the encouragement.
OK like this. So for
homework next time I will say:
I have my promotion test this afternoon.
and you say...
That's right.
Show them what you're made of.
Please remember this and we will see you
next time. Thank you.
