Business, social. OK.
On a scale from 1 to 10.
OK, let's learn what it means in just a minute.
But first let's do our usual test.
What's given to only a fraction of your employees?
Do you remember this?
You tell me.
Just a few people, remember, a fraction.
So awards...
Like in my case,

It's a natural, simple phrase.
You could use in so many situations. OK.
But this is what I often hear.
OK, so I say,
Taro, how was the conference?
You know the conference that you attended last week.
How was it?
And he says,
Yeah, it was not great, but not bad.
OK, so it was so-so...
It's not a bad answer.
But if you wanna be a little bit more accurate.
Was it on the great side?
Was it on the bad side? Or was it in the middle?
Where, where, where? You can say this.
So if I say,
How was the conference that you attended last week?
He can say, Well on a scale from one to ten,
I'd give it a seven.
Did you learn that at the conference?
It's a great phrase.
On a scale from one to ten, I'd give it a seven.
Yeah, very natural.
OK, so seven is a so-so, seventy percent right?
If it's great, you could say...
On a scale from 1 to 10, I'd give it an eleven.
Wow, 11, really? OK. You could use it with people.
On a scale from 1 to 10, you are an eleven.
Used like that too.
OK, let's look at pronunciation.
So it's Ona, Ona a scale from 1 ta 10.
Ona a scale from 1 ta 10. I'd giveita
OK, with a pause.
I'd giveita 7.
Ona a scale from 1 ta 10,
I'd giveita 7. You try.
OK, so let's try it with the question.
So, how was the conference?
OK, I see. All right.
Did you get that?
OK, for homework,
On a scale from 1 to 10, 1 to 10,
what would you give an 11 to?
Could be a movie, you know.
On a scale from 1 to 10,
I'd give Titanic an 11, you know.
I'm just kidding, just for example.
Or a song or a band, or a person?
Could be anything. But on a scale from 1 to 10,
there's only 1 to 10, who or what would you give an 11 to?
It's got to be really good.
I'd like to know. You tell me next time.
OK, thank you.
