4. 0:11>> My name is Pablo.
5. 0:12>> Pablo. Nice to meet you.
6. 0:13>> Nice to meet you, too.
7. 0:15>> And what's your name?
8. 0:16>> My name is Rafael.
9. 0:17>> Rafael. Okay. Hello.
10. 0:21And
11. 0:21>> hi, my name is Louis.
12. 0:22>> Louis. Nice to meet you, Louis.
13. 0:26Here
14. 0:29you will see a list of annoying things.
15. 0:33Things that people find or may find
16. 0:35annoying. You will see that there are
17. 0:37seven potential things. Okay? As a
18. 0:40group, I want you to discuss the top
19. 0:44three annoying things in this list.
20. 0:47Okay? So, you have to decide. For for
21. 0:49me, for example, I particularly find it
22. 0:52annoying when people don't say thank
23. 0:53you. And that's because I'm British and
24. 0:56we're extremely polite, are we? Um, so
25. 0:58this would be top in my list, but maybe
26. 1:00not so important for Pablo. So, you have
27. 1:03to discuss three or four minutes
28. 1:05maximum, and at the end, you have to say
29. 1:08the top three things that you agree are
30. 1:10annoying. Okay.
31. 1:11>> All right. There you go. You can have a
32. 1:14look.
33. 1:15>> Here you go. You can have one on your
34. 1:17own. Okay. Off you go.
35. 1:21>> I suppose we can talk to each other.
36. 1:23Exactly. Talk to each other. That's what
37. 1:24I want you to do.
38. 1:26>> The three three things.
39. 1:30>> What What do you think is could be the
40. 1:32most annoying thing?
41. 1:35>> I think there are a few things that are
42. 1:37just
43. 1:39uh normal if we live in a big city. So
44. 1:42being stuck in traffic is not pleasant.
45. 1:44But you live in Madrid, so it's quite
46. 1:46ordinary.
47. 1:48Uh
48. 1:50but um
49. 1:52>> but when when you are when you are
50. 1:54driving maybe uh you take off the the
51. 1:58the worst of you.
52. 2:00>> Definitely but but I mean uh you cannot
53. 2:02avoid being in stuck in traffic if
54. 2:04there's a thousand cars trying to get to
55. 2:06the same place at the same time. But you
56. 2:08know that this situation is terrible
57. 2:10being stuck because everybody's is
58. 2:13>> but
59. 2:14it's getting like Andrea said thank you
60. 2:17is my decision.
61. 2:20>> So I can do it or not.
62. 2:22>> Being in the car. Yes I can. Or maybe I
63. 2:25cannot avoid it. But things like not
64. 2:29saying thank you. Things that are
65. 2:31related to the everyday life to being
66. 2:33polite to the to the other people. for
67. 2:37me.
68. 2:38>> But but sometimes you don't say thank
69. 2:41you perhaps because you are shy.
70. 2:46>> Yeah, but again I I understand you
71. 2:50because you are in a hurry and you don't
72. 2:51have time.
73. 2:52>> Yes, that's that's true.
74. 2:53>> No, you're very stressed doing things
75. 2:56all day.
76. 2:57>> But um it's not the same kind of
77. 3:01situation I think or people that let
78. 3:04their children misbehave in restaurants.
79. 3:06I mean, I have taken my daughter to a
80. 3:09restaurant and tried to control because
81. 3:11I know that it's not a playground. So,
82. 3:13it's my decision,
83. 3:15not a circumstance of living in in a big
84. 3:19city.
85. 3:20>> And and what do you think about root
86. 3:22sales assistance when you go to a shop
87. 3:24to buy a skirt or a shirt or a pullover
88. 3:29and and the assistant is not very well
89. 3:32behaved.
90. 3:34What what can we do?
91. 3:36>> Yeah, it's an uncomfortable situation,
92. 3:38but perhaps
93. 3:40I I can I can support perhaps maybe he
94. 3:44has or she has a problem, a bad day.
95. 3:47Everyone has been a bad day. Everyone
96. 3:50has been behind the counter because I
97. 3:52work in the bank and I work with
98. 3:54clients. So when I am a client, I have
99. 3:58to know that maybe the assistant is
100. 4:00having a rough day or whatever.
101. 4:03But you for me can change the business.
102. 4:05Yeah. Yeah. Of course.
103. 4:07>> But usually they are of they are often
104. 4:10rude. I think a lot of times when I go
105. 4:13to shop it's terrible find something to
106. 4:16buy because they are not in a good way
107. 4:19almost
108. 4:21and about noisy neighbors what
109. 4:23>> is is
110. 4:26terrible because for example if you
111. 4:28don't
112. 4:30you don't you can't
113. 4:34sleep is it's a big problem
114. 4:38>> actually I was seeing that except for
115. 4:40the first one as a circumstance.
116. 4:43All of them are let's say lack of
117. 4:46politeness mean you can take one parking
118. 4:50space and not two. Sometimes you do it
119. 4:52because you're in a hurry or because you
120. 4:54don't mind about the others. Uh you make
121. 4:57noise in your house and disregard what
122. 5:00people on the other side of the world
123. 5:03can think about the movie you are seeing
124. 5:06or the music or people talking in the
125. 5:09cinema. There's other people and I know
126. 5:10some people is annoyed by my talking in
127. 5:14the cinema. So most of them is
128. 5:17>> are
129. 5:19noisy neighbor neighbors are terrible. I
130. 5:21have
131. 5:22>> I have one with two dogs and in the
132. 5:24morning and in the night they are all
133. 5:26time
134. 5:28doing doing noises.
135. 5:31>> Barking barking.
136. 5:32>> Okay. So Pablo, what are your top three?
137. 5:36Maybe
138. 5:38one noisy neighbors because I think that
139. 5:42is
140. 5:44really really unpolite
141. 5:46not uh and not to be able to to to
142. 5:51dream to sleep.
143. 5:53>> Okay. Number two.
144. 5:55>> Number two maybe being stuck in traffic.
145. 5:58>> Okay. And number three. Number three,
146. 6:01maybe
147. 6:03people talking in the cinema because
148. 6:05>> Oh, we do discuss that.
149. 6:06>> You are you are enjoying with the
150. 6:08cinema, but I you can't.
151. 6:10>> Okay. What about you, Louis? What are
152. 6:12your top three?
153. 6:14>> People taking up to parking spaces,
154. 6:17people leaving their children
155. 6:19misbehaving in restaurants and losing
156. 6:20neighbors because they are all the same
157. 6:23kind of situation. I don't mind about
158. 6:25the others.
159. 6:26>> Okay? I do what I want because I want
160. 6:29and because I can and I don't mind what
161. 6:31others might think and I don't live
162. 6:33alone obviously. So I
163. 6:36>> mind about other people living with me.
164. 6:39>> All right. And Rosia, what are your
165. 6:41thoughts?
166. 6:41>> For me, I think the most annoying thing
167. 6:44is being stuck in the traffic.
168. 6:45>> Okay.
169. 6:46>> Because you have 15 minutes or 20 to to
170. 6:48to go to a place and you don't know what
171. 6:51to do in situations. In second in second
172. 6:58I think
173. 7:00sales assistance. No. Yes. I I love
174. 7:04going shopping and when I in a bad with
175. 7:07an assistant in a bad way or or mood
176. 7:11it's this is terrible. And in the third
177. 7:15time I think noisy neighbors also.
178. 7:17>> Okay. So do you all agree noisy
179. 7:19neighbors I think is at least one of
180. 7:21them but the rest are different. So, can
181. 7:23we agree? Top three together or not?
182. 7:28>> It's a hard one.
183. 7:30>> Yes.
184. 7:30>> Noisy neighbors number one.
185. 7:32>> Yes.
186. 7:33>> What about you? Two have both had been
187. 7:35stuck in traffic.
188. 7:36>> Yes. Being stuck in traffic.
189. 7:37>> I don't drive. So,
190. 7:40>> we have a top two anyway. And then
191. 7:42Louis, you pick the top third.
192. 7:45>> People taking not to parking spaces
193. 7:47because it's But I worry about them.
194. 7:50They don't know what to do with their
195. 7:51car.
196. 7:52Okay, very good. Very good. I'll take
197. 7:54those back. Excellent.
198. 7:57Thank you. Okay. Um,
199. 8:01in the workplace,
200. 8:03do you think it's important that people
201. 8:05have opportunities to express their own
202. 8:08ideas and and give opinions
203. 8:11>> like a brainstorming? Let me
204. 8:13>> But do you think it's important is the
205. 8:15first question? I think so.
206. 8:16>> Okay. What do you think? Do you think
207. 8:17it's important? I think the same as
208. 8:21being part of a team is very important
209. 8:23when you are working. Yes.
210. 8:24>> All right. And so you said one situation
211. 8:27maybe a brainstorm. What other
212. 8:29opportunities in the workplace that
213. 8:31people have where they can express their
214. 8:34ideas
215. 8:37>> in office with very works. The people
216. 8:41that does the things know that some
217. 8:45things can be improved. Maybe the
218. 8:47project the the uh process has been
219. 8:49designed by someone that believes that's
220. 8:52perfect. But when it comes to to
221. 8:54practice, somebody says if we do it this
222. 8:57way instead of that other way, I think
223. 9:00it can be better for me and for everyone
224. 9:02that does actually that thing. So the
225. 9:05the practical side of of any process can
226. 9:09be improved by the people that uh that
227. 9:11does it.
228. 9:12>> But what opportunities do they have to
229. 9:14do it?
230. 9:15Like if there is the workplace is fine
231. 9:18they would ask is that right? What do
232. 9:20you think? Do you think it can be
233. 9:21improved? But obviously sometimes
234. 9:24there's not this
235. 9:26channel.
236. 9:27>> That's true. That's true. Yeah.
237. 9:29>> I think that in in a work asking things
238. 9:34is very important because you have to be
239. 9:36allowed to ask anything at any time
240. 9:38because sometimes you are lost and you
241. 9:39don't know what to do exactly.
242. 9:41>> Okay. But in what circumstances? In what
243. 9:44circumstances
244. 9:44>> could you do that in the workplace?
245. 9:45>> Yes. In when you have a break in your
246. 9:48breakfast or the lunch
247. 9:50>> or when you go to the bathroom 5 minutes
248. 9:53going then you you can think of anything
249. 9:58and you can find find some some people
250. 10:01there and understand. So sometimes like
251. 10:05away from the work environment,
252. 10:08the coffee machine.
253. 10:08>> Oh, the coffee machine. That's a good
254. 10:10one.
255. 10:11>> At least 5 minutes in the morning or
256. 10:14something like this.
257. 10:15>> Yeah. Okay. Okay. Um, what things do you
258. 10:19think are important in the workplace to
259. 10:21people to make it a good working
260. 10:22environment? Pablo, what do you think is
261. 10:24important to people?
262. 10:28Maybe it's important
263. 10:30to to be loved for by the the boss.
264. 10:35>> Okay. To be loved by the boss.
265. 10:36>> Love maybe like
266. 10:40>> liked. Yeah. maybe like not love but in
267. 10:43the in the the romantic sense not of
268. 10:47course
269. 10:48>> but I think that is is good to to be
270. 10:53able to discuss for example when you are
271. 10:56beginning in a project
272. 11:00to be able to to listen to several ideas
273. 11:05or for example when you have a problem
274. 11:08you you should
275. 11:11uh expose this problem and try to to
276. 11:15resolve between them and to get through.
277. 11:19>> Okay. So I like it. So like projects,
278. 11:21discussions, things like that are
279. 11:22important for people. Um what are
280. 11:26typical pay and benefits like in Spain?
281. 11:29What type of things the companies offer
282. 11:32staff to make it a good working?
283. 11:34>> Bonus for example.
284. 11:35>> Sorry.
285. 11:36>> Bonus. Bonus.
286. 11:37>> A bonus maybe. Bonus. Nice. Okay. Yeah,
287. 11:40that's a good one. Louis, what do you
288. 11:42think
289. 11:43>> in Spain?
290. 11:45>> I would say that um
291. 11:47lately big companies tend to offer
292. 11:52things like cash bonuses uh shares
293. 11:58something like that. I mean things that
294. 12:01go back in the benefit of of the company
295. 12:03itself. I mean back in the 60s and the
296. 12:0770s there were a lot of benefits like
297. 12:10social clubs you can meet your your
298. 12:14colleagues and go to sport going to to a
299. 12:17swimming pool and things like that
300. 12:19>> has disappeared basically.
301. 12:21>> Yes.
302. 12:22>> Uh so now I would say everything is
303. 12:25focused on cash and shares that means
304. 12:27cash and everything. Yeah. stock
305. 12:30options, everything that related to the
306. 12:32financial side of of
307. 12:35how much money at the end of the day
308. 12:37people receive in their final salary.
309. 12:39>> Sometimes cars and things like that, but
310. 12:42in the end it's all cash because a flat
311. 12:45or big cars
312. 12:48in cash.
313. 12:49>> Yeah. In this case, we say money with
314. 12:51cash. It's all about money, right?
315. 12:53Please. Nice.
316. 12:54>> Rafia, a question, a different question
317. 12:56for you. Do you agree or disagree that
318. 12:59people should work from home now that
319. 13:02the pandemic is finished
320. 13:04>> to work at home?
321. 13:05>> Do you agree or disagree that people can
322. 13:07work from home?
323. 13:08>> I agree.
324. 13:09>> You agree? You think people can?
325. 13:10>> Well, personally, I agree. I have a
326. 13:12friend who has been working for many
327. 13:14years in the company and she was so
328. 13:16tired to get up at 6:00 in the morning
329. 13:19and she lasted to an hour to get to her
330. 13:23work and at last she has she has got the
331. 13:28to to work at home
332. 13:32the computer and she's now very happy.
333. 13:35She has more time to relaxes to things
334. 13:38to think in things more slowly to solve
335. 13:42problems to she's doing she's doing
336. 13:45well. So if the work is the same why not
337. 13:48>> it's less expensive to for the company
338. 13:50the company has not to pay anything for
339. 13:52the transport.
340. 13:53>> Very true.
341. 13:54>> And for the employment and employers is
342. 13:57better to it's a good benefit if it can
343. 13:59be done. Very nice. Okay, let's have a
344. 14:02look at some phrases. We're looking at
345. 14:05some business functional phrases today.
346. 14:09And this is the first one. As far as I'm
347. 14:15concerned,
348. 14:21okay, first of all, what is the meaning
349. 14:25behind this phrase? What are we trying
350. 14:27to express?
351. 14:30What do you think?
352. 14:33>> Maybe
353. 14:35when you are thinking about it and
354. 14:39>> you're close definitely about what I'm
355. 14:41thinking. Good. What do you think, Liz?
356. 14:44>> Then I'm seeing the problem of the
357. 14:46question from my point of view. So I'm
358. 14:48seeing it as far as I'm concerned as as
359. 14:51far as it affects me, my job and my
360. 14:54circumstances. And I understand that
361. 14:56yours may be different but uh
362. 14:58>> these are my this is my perspective.
363. 15:01>> Perfect. Yes. So we use this phrase to
364. 15:04talk about something from our
365. 15:05perspective that we that we understand.
366. 15:08Okay. So for example give a um my own
367. 15:11example. So if um as far as I'm
368. 15:15concerned speaking English is a much
369. 15:18better skill than writing English.
370. 15:21However, Carlos disagrees. Okay. So, I'm
371. 15:24using the phrase in order to be able to
372. 15:27express my opinion as far as my
373. 15:29information is concerned. Okay? And
374. 15:31you'll see here I've put a comma or a
375. 15:34full stop because depends how you want
376. 15:37to use it. Okay? But it's a good linking
377. 15:39uh activity. So, as far as I'm
378. 15:41concerned, speaking English is better.
379. 15:44But you could just say, well, that's it.
380. 15:46As far as I'm concerned, full stop.
381. 15:48Okay. Um, Rafael, can you please use as
382. 15:52far as I'm concerned in a sentence with
383. 15:54a comma? So, you're taking it to the
384. 15:56giving us some information.
385. 15:59>> As far as I'm concerned,
386. 16:02uh, listening English and understanding
387. 16:05it is more difficult than writing.
388. 16:09>> That's very good. Very good. What about
389. 16:12you, Pablo? H for example, I could say
390. 16:14as far as I'm concerned to work hard
391. 16:18because if I if I don't
392. 16:22my boss could fire me. Okay, well done.
393. 16:26We don't want that. So you said as far
394. 16:28as I'm concerned and then let's put this
395. 16:31here. Um it's important to work hard.
396. 16:35Okay. Is it after your comma? It's
397. 16:37important
398. 16:38to work hard
399. 16:42otherwise my boss. So, do you want to
400. 16:43repeat the sentence?
401. 16:44>> Yeah. As far as I'm concerned, it's
402. 16:46important to work hard.
403. 16:48>> Yes. So, your boss doesn't fire you.
404. 16:50Exactly. All right. Uh, let's have a
405. 16:53look at the next one. I suspect
406. 16:57that.
407. 17:00Okay. Lewis, what do you think is the
408. 17:02meaning of the use of this phrase?
409. 17:09Here is my opinion probably. I don't
410. 17:11have a proof to say people uh uh say
411. 17:16what I'm saying but I have an idea. I
412. 17:19I've seen some signs. I have seen I have
413. 17:22some clues. So it's not an affirmation.
414. 17:26It's not affirmative. I think that maybe
415. 17:30>> good based on something that you know or
416. 17:34have understood.
417. 17:34>> You are you are not sure.
418. 17:37>> Maybe you have that.
419. 17:39>> Yes. Maybe you are, maybe you're not,
420. 17:40but you suspect that. So, Pablo, can you
421. 17:44use I suspect that in a sentence?
422. 17:48>> I suspect that the sky is dark. Perhaps
423. 17:53it's raining. You suspect that it's
424. 17:55raining because the sky is dark. Yes.
425. 17:58So, we can switch the sentence to say
426. 18:00what you suspect first and then why.
427. 18:03Okay. Louis, can you give us an example?
428. 18:05I suspect that.
429. 18:07>> I suspect that this is the last class of
430. 18:10the year because uh next week uh
431. 18:14probably we'll know we are class.
432. 18:16>> There'll be nobody in the school next
433. 18:17week. Exactly. Exactly. You suspect,
434. 18:20right?
435. 18:22>> Okay. Let's have a look at another
436. 18:24sentence. I agree
437. 18:27with you
438. 18:30up to
439. 18:32a point.
440. 18:34And again, it can be a ha or a full stop
441. 18:37depending on what you want to do next. A
442. 18:40rough. What do you think is the the
443. 18:43meaning of the function of this phrase?
444. 18:46For example, when some some somebody is
445. 18:49talking about an statement or saying
446. 18:51something important, you can say
447. 18:55you can agree but not at all. Perhaps
448. 18:59only a little, not very much. You can
449. 19:02say I agree with you up to a point
450. 19:05but
451. 19:06>> but that's a good one. The but always
452. 19:07comes
453. 19:08>> in my point of view. I don't see what
454. 19:12you mean. Okay.
455. 19:13>> Because for me it's not the same. All
456. 19:15right. I see nothing.
457. 19:16>> So wonderful is exactly it. So what
458. 19:18you're trying to do here is you're
459. 19:20trying to express as you said that you
460. 19:22understand when you agree with some
461. 19:24things but not everything. Okay. Um
462. 19:27Louis give us your own sentence um using
463. 19:30I agree with you to a point.
464. 19:33I agree with you up to a point
465. 19:37for instance that the situation is very
466. 19:39dangerous but I don't agree as far as
467. 19:42the solution that you have uh proposed
468. 19:46is concerned.
469. 19:47>> Excellent. So you use the that or
470. 19:50whatever you want to do after that.
471. 19:52Okay. Okay. What about you Pablo? What
472. 19:54do you do you agree or up to a point
473. 19:57with
474. 19:57>> Yeah. Maybe I could say
475. 20:03I agree with you up to a point
476. 20:06to to hire someone, but I don't know
477. 20:10when.
478. 20:11>> Okay. Oh, very nice. I like it. I like
479. 20:13it. All right. Let's have a look at
480. 20:15another one.
481. 20:17I have a few reservations.
482. 20:24And again, it can be this. So do you
483. 20:27continue or you can just stop it at the
484. 20:29end of a discussion. Um Louis, what do
485. 20:33you think is the meaning behind this
486. 20:34phrase? What are we trying to
487. 20:36>> very close to the former one? Uh in a
488. 20:39negotiation I I agree with you but not
489. 20:43completely. I have a few things that we
490. 20:45could clarify or discuss but it's not
491. 20:48saying I don't agree with you. It's it's
492. 20:52a positive uh step. We are going the
493. 20:55same way. So now we discuss a few
494. 20:59details maybe but
495. 21:02encouraging the negotiation.
496. 21:04>> Nice. I like that you said there about
497. 21:05the positive steps because it could be
498. 21:07negative or positive because you could
499. 21:09have a few reservations that you're good
500. 21:11or a few reservations that are bad. So
501. 21:13you can use it in either sense. Yeah. It
502. 21:15doesn't matter. So you can use it to to
503. 21:18say something that you're happy with but
504. 21:20not sure or not happy with. Okay.
505. 21:23Rothia, can you give me your own
506. 21:24sentence using I have a few
507. 21:26reservations?
508. 21:28>> Yes. You have book a table in a very
509. 21:30famous restaurant
510. 21:32>> and you're eating there with some
511. 21:34friends and you're talking about the
512. 21:37first dish and you can say, "Oh, I think
513. 21:40this is a very good restaurant." Yes, I
514. 21:43agree. But I have a few reservations
515. 21:46because my first dish or my meal is not
516. 21:50at the same level as I I thought.
517. 21:53>> So fantastic. Um so you're giving a nice
518. 21:56example of an opinion back from someone
519. 21:58else's opinion. Very nice. Pablo, give
520. 22:00me a sentence. Uh maybe I have a few
521. 22:03reservation
522. 22:05to to have classes uh at weekend in
523. 22:10Madrid because teacher
524. 22:14suit
525. 22:16in case you have few reservations.
526. 22:19>> I have a few reservations myself about
527. 22:22good example.
528. 22:24Okay. Um look at this sentence or
529. 22:27question.
530. 22:31How about if we
531. 22:34Rotheia, what is the purpose of this?
532. 22:36What are we trying to come up with?
533. 22:37>> I'm seeing this could be an idea. I am
534. 22:40inviting you to do something. Okay. Oh,
535. 22:43that's a good option, but it's not quite
536. 22:45right. So, how about if we rather than
537. 22:48giving options getting someone? What do
538. 22:50you think, Pablo? For example,
539. 22:54if you think
540. 22:57one idea to to do and you offer this
541. 23:01idea.
542. 23:01>> Okay. So, what are we trying to do
543. 23:03exactly then? If that's the outcome,
544. 23:06what is the purpose of this phrase
545. 23:07loose?
546. 23:08>> Um, sure. Proposal maybe open a new way.
547. 23:12>> Good.
548. 23:12>> In a in a situation.
549. 23:14>> Good. Make suggestions. Offer solutions.
550. 23:18Okay. This is a good way to do it.
551. 23:20Louis, uh, your turn. How about if we
552. 23:23give me your own sentence using this
553. 23:25make a suggestion.
554. 23:27>> Um,
555. 23:29how about if we uh get up, go to have a
556. 23:32coffee, relax for 5 minutes, and then
557. 23:35come back and try to see it
558. 23:39again.
559. 23:39>> Nice. Sounds like a good idea. Should we
560. 23:41do that? No. No. We stay. We stay. Great
561. 23:45option. Okay. Hey, what about this
562. 23:47phrase?
563. 23:55>> Uh, it's Pablo. What's the meaning
564. 23:58behind this phrase? What are we trying
565. 24:00to to do with it?
566. 24:02>> When you try to to focus
567. 24:06just one thing, not all things. I don't
568. 24:09know. Maybe for example,
569. 24:14uh couldn't we just
570. 24:19give one class
571. 24:23this week?
572. 24:24>> Okay, I agree. So, it's a great example.
573. 24:26So, but what exactly are you trying to
574. 24:28do then, Rotho, with this example? What
575. 24:31is the purpose of this sentence? I think
576. 24:34the per the purpose could be when you
577. 24:38come up with an idea
578. 24:40>> and you trying to say something but you
579. 24:43don't know really how to say it. You say
580. 24:47in a negative way to to make the other
581. 24:50person understand something. That's
582. 24:53nice. Well, I like what you said there
583. 24:55by trying to be nice because it's a
584. 24:57polite way to make a suggestion, isn't
585. 25:00it? It's it's the same. It's a polite
586. 25:02way, not just let's do this. Why don't
587. 25:04we do this? Couldn't we just So, it's
588. 25:07good. It's a good example of the Okay.
589. 25:10Um,
590. 25:11let's have a look.
591. 25:17So, I'm in favor of it.
592. 25:20Again, it could be a sentence where we
593. 25:23have because or it could just be a
594. 25:25statement. I'm in favor of it. Right.
595. 25:28So, Louis, what's the purpose uh behind
596. 25:31this functional phrase?
597. 25:32>> To uh show that I like what I've heard.
598. 25:35Uh like a proposal. Um endorse it.
599. 25:40>> Very nice. Pablo.
600. 25:41>> Yeah. And maybe I'm in favor of it.
601. 25:44Repeat this green glass.
602. 25:46>> Ah, good. Okay. Fantastic. Um Le, give
603. 25:50us your own sentence using I'm in favor
604. 25:53of it.
605. 25:54>> Um I'm in favor of it. I think it's uh
606. 25:59the right way to act at this moment.
607. 26:02>> Okay. Very good, Rosio.
608. 26:04>> Well, I think I'm in favor of it is
609. 26:07similar to say I agree with you. When
610. 26:09you have her something that you like and
611. 26:12you are saying, you know, that's okay.
612. 26:14I'm in favor of it. Nice. That's all.
613. 26:16>> It's more polite. No,
614. 26:18>> it's polite also. It's just a different
615. 26:21phrase to use more formal. I like I
616. 26:24agree. Well, not necessarily. It can be
617. 26:26used in either sense. Um but one may be
618. 26:30more used in a work environment than
619. 26:32between friends.
620. 26:33>> But perhaps there are several option and
621. 26:35you you try to say this one is the best.
622. 26:40>> Exactly. Exactly. Oh, I'm in favor of
623. 26:42it. So you're expressing your your face.
624. 26:45Okay. Um public is your own sentence for
625. 26:48I'm in favor of it.
626. 26:50>> Yeah. Um I'm in favor of if to to have
627. 26:59three classes every day in Mad.
628. 27:02>> Wonderful.
629. 27:03>> Very good. We look forward to having you
630. 27:05back. Wonderful. Okay. So
631. 27:08>> we got the seven sentences here. So if
632. 27:10we were to choose a category for the
633. 27:13function of these sentences, what are
634. 27:16these two doing? What is the function
635. 27:19exactly?
636. 27:21to express uh
637. 27:24honest opinion. Yeah.
638. 27:25>> Good. Very good. So, let's write this
639. 27:28here. So, to express opinions.
640. 27:32>> Okay. Or ideas as well.
641. 27:35>> Mhm.
642. 27:40>> Okay. What are these two?
643. 27:44What is the function of these two?
644. 27:48I think to to say your your own ideas.
645. 27:52>> Okay.
646. 27:52>> Choose
647. 27:53>> not quite to give your ideas to agree
648. 27:56with you to a point.
649. 27:58>> It's to think about something but not
650. 28:00not agree. Not okay.
651. 28:02>> Totally agree. No.
652. 28:04>> Okay. Not to totally agree. That's
653. 28:05great. Pablo
654. 28:08>> to to choose
655. 28:11between several options.
656. 28:14>> Maybe maybe that's the result of it.
657. 28:16Good. What's the function le?
658. 28:19>> I would say it's part of a negotiation.
659. 28:22We move ahead and stay this way out of
660. 28:26the way.
661. 28:27>> I like it.
662. 28:27>> Part of a negotiation.
663. 28:29>> That's good. So, sorry to interrupt.
664. 28:31Sorry. For negotiation, we have to agree
665. 28:33or disagree. Okay. So, these phrases to
666. 28:36agree or disagree.
667. 28:38>> All right. It Well, it depends. Agree
668. 28:40with you up to a point is agreeing but
669. 28:42not disagree. And I have a few
670. 28:44reservations. can be agree or disagree.
671. 28:46So agree
672. 28:49or disagree
673. 28:52enabling you to get your points across.
674. 28:54All right. And what are these two
675. 28:57doing?
676. 29:00>> It's a polite
677. 29:04form to
678. 29:07to say something that without offense.
679. 29:11>> Okay. Very good. Very good. So we can
680. 29:13say they're polite but um polite what
681. 29:17polite ways to
682. 29:20do things to ask. We're asking good but
683. 29:24in this case. So it's a question but
684. 29:26what are we doing? We are
685. 29:27>> suggesting
686. 29:27>> suggesting well done. Okay so polite
687. 29:30ways to suggest. Awesome.
688. 29:36And I'm in favor of it. We know it's
689. 29:38kind of agreeing. But what we say
690. 29:40afterwards is because
691. 29:42what is the function of this?
692. 29:45What are we doing here?
693. 29:48>> Maybe reasoning our decision.
694. 29:50>> Excellent. To give reasons
695. 29:54to give our reason, for example. Okay.
696. 29:57So, we've got one, two, three, four
697. 30:00different functions and a nice variety
698. 30:03of different sentences. Okay. So, time
699. 30:07to practice. Of course,
700. 30:10each of you are going to receive a copy
701. 30:13of these phrases on these little cards.
702. 30:17Okay? So, on each card, you have each
703. 30:19phrase. All right? And what I'd like you
704. 30:22to do is you're going to discuss a topic
705. 30:26and you have to use your phrases. When
706. 30:28you use it, you can put it down in front
707. 30:30of you. Okay? We're going to keep it
708. 30:32quite speedy. So the quicker you can use
709. 30:36your phrases, the better. All right? I'm
710. 30:39going to give you the topic and I'm
711. 30:41going to keep changing the topic so that
712. 30:43you have some new things to say. And you
713. 30:46have to decide if you are of course
714. 30:48expressing ideas or opinions, agreeing,
715. 30:51disagreeing, polite ways to suggest to
716. 30:54give a reason. Okay. So for example, the
717. 30:57first topic is dogs are better than
718. 31:01cats. Okay. So, if I was going to say
719. 31:04this, I would say, "Oh, I have a few
720. 31:07reservations because dogs can be very
721. 31:11difficult to look after because they
722. 31:14need to be walked every day, etc." But I
723. 31:17understand that they are very good
724. 31:19company. Okay? So, you can use the
725. 31:22phrase any way you want as long as
726. 31:24you're practicing. Right? There you go.
727. 31:26That was for you. H you have the same
728. 31:28phrases in different order. Yes. And so
729. 31:31the first one is dogs
730. 31:36are better
731. 31:38than cats.
732. 31:42Discuss.
733. 31:45>> Okay. As far as I'm concerned, none of
734. 31:48them because I don't like pets.
735. 31:53>> I have a few reservation because I love
736. 31:56a lot of dogs but not cats. I suspect
737. 32:01but if then then you're agreeing I have
738. 32:04a few reservations.
739. 32:04>> I have very few reservations about how
740. 32:07to care in a good way.
741. 32:09>> Okay.
742. 32:11>> I suspect that dogs
743. 32:13bark a lot and it's very
744. 32:19it's very noisy for for a community.
745. 32:24>> Mhm. Okay. Good
746. 32:26>> for the neighborhood. How about if we
747. 32:29change subject because I'm not
748. 32:31interested in doing pets.
749. 32:33>> That is another good one for Louis.
750. 32:36>> Okay. Nice. Couldn't we just prove with
751. 32:39one dog for only one week? Oh, try with
752. 32:42a dog. Nice. Try with a dog.
753. 32:45>> How about if we
754. 32:48ask a favor
755. 32:51to to have several time not for all your
756. 32:55life? just for temporary time.
757. 32:59>> I agree with you to a point, but I'm not
758. 33:02sure about how dog would feel if the
759. 33:07family the house changes every week, two
760. 33:10weeks.
761. 33:12>> I agree with you up to the to a point,
762. 33:16but you should know that having a dog is
763. 33:19sometimes difficult. M okay.
764. 33:23>> I agree with you up to a point but if
765. 33:26you have not um a lot of
766. 33:31space perhaps is difficult to to live
767. 33:34with this pet.
768. 33:37>> You can you don't have to go in a
769. 33:39circle. You can interact anytime. Yes.
770. 33:44>> I suspect some of you have a dog at
771. 33:47home.
772. 33:50>> No. No, I'm in favor of it because
773. 33:54several years ago I had one dog at home
774. 33:57and for me it was like my best friend.
775. 34:00>> A that's nice.
776. 34:04>> Couldn't we just with this pet give a
777. 34:08gift
778. 34:10for your for your family?
779. 34:14>> You want to give the doggies a gift to
780. 34:16the family? Louis, what do you think?
781. 34:17>> I have a few reserations about that.
782. 34:20I'm not sure that
783. 34:24using pets as as a gift is a good idea.
784. 34:28>> Mhm.
785. 34:28>> In fact, I I believe it's a a very bad
786. 34:31idea.
787. 34:32>> Okay. Let's stop on that note. I'm going
788. 34:34to give you the next subject. You can
789. 34:36use your cards again. Use the ones you
790. 34:38haven't used. Okay. Is a question.
791. 34:42Is
792. 34:43world peace
793. 34:46possible?
794. 34:50to discuss.
795. 34:52>> Well, I'm in favor of it because
796. 34:59Russian
797. 35:01have lost a lot of army and difficult to
798. 35:06to continue this war.
799. 35:08>> Mhm. Say Russia.
800. 35:10>> Russian.
801. 35:10>> Russia.
802. 35:11>> Russia.
803. 35:11>> Russia. Russia.
804. 35:16As far as I concerned, I think that this
805. 35:20work this work hasn't don't has doesn't
806. 35:24has um any basis to continue.
807. 35:28>> Okay. Doesn't have
808. 35:29>> doesn't have so in the future I think it
809. 35:32will be.
810. 35:33>> Okay.
811. 35:35>> As far as I'm concerned, uh it's not
812. 35:38only possible is the only uh possibility
813. 35:41because otherwise we're doomed.
814. 35:46I I have a few reservations
815. 35:48about
816. 35:51war continue
817. 35:57one year more because
818. 36:00the economy is the most important for
819. 36:03the world.
820. 36:04>> Nice. But you can say the war
821. 36:06continuing.
822. 36:07>> The war continuing.
823. 36:09>> Yeah.
824. 36:12>> Any more points? I suspect I suspect
825. 36:14that nobody wants this one. I
826. 36:17>> think you're right
827. 36:18>> or likes.
828. 36:20>> I agree with you up to a point. It's
829. 36:22easy to say war peace is fine, but uh
830. 36:29when we have to go to to actions in
831. 36:32favor of world peace, everyone says you
832. 36:36first.
833. 36:37>> Yes. Very true. Very true. Okay. What
834. 36:39else, Pablo? World peace. Um, how about
835. 36:43if we uh try to
836. 36:47um to sit
837. 36:50both parts uh to to try to to to get a
838. 36:55negotiation?
839. 36:55>> Oh, to try to negotiate. Nice. Nice
840. 36:58option. What do you think, Louis? To
841. 37:00that
842. 37:03>> um
843. 37:04I'm in favor of it because uh negotiate
844. 37:07negotiation is always better than
845. 37:09conflict.
846. 37:10>> Very true. Very true.
847. 37:12>> Okay, on that note, let's change topic
848. 37:14for the last one. Okay, children
849. 37:19don't get enough sleep.
850. 37:24Children don't get enough sleep. Discuss
851. 37:29Rothia, you can start. I have a few
852. 37:32reservation because one go one nephew
853. 37:36has had a a has a small baby and he's
854. 37:40all day sleeping.
855. 37:43>> Okay.
856. 37:44>> Eating and sleeping is everything
857. 37:46>> every day.
858. 37:47>> Okay.
859. 37:49I suspect that uh it is uh true because
860. 37:54the uh structure of a families uh keep
861. 37:59allowing children uh get awake until so
862. 38:03late in the in the evening in the night
863. 38:06uh next morning in school maybe some of
864. 38:10them will sleep over the go to sleep go
865. 38:14to sleep over the table. Yeah.
866. 38:15>> Uhhuh. Okay. It's a good point. Very
867. 38:17good.
868. 38:20Couldn't we just
869. 38:23to to
870. 38:26try to
871. 38:29to convince
872. 38:31the children that the they should
873. 38:38go to bed earlier?
874. 38:41>> Good luck with that one, Pablo.
875. 38:44>> Anymore? Uh, couldn't we just order our
876. 38:47children to
877. 38:51to make them understand to sleep more?
878. 38:55>> Mhm.
879. 38:55>> Mhm. Good. They need
880. 38:57>> How about if we shut down the internet
881. 39:00at 10:00 in the evening and so everyone
882. 39:05goes to bed.
883. 39:06>> 10:00 is late. This is still quite late.
884. 39:10>> This is Spain.
885. 39:11>> This is true. Any others? I I suspect
886. 39:15that children go to bed when their
887. 39:20batteries are dead.
888. 39:23>> Is it true?
889. 39:24>> I agree with you up to a point, but it's
890. 39:28very hard at night to convince them to
891. 39:31go to bed. Very true. Okay. Excellent.
892. 39:35Good discussion. Good discussion. Okay.
893. 39:38You can keep these for the next activity
894. 39:40if you wish to use them. Okay. So what
895. 39:44you're going to do now is you're going
896. 39:46to prepare first for a meeting that you
897. 39:50are going to have in the workplace. Yes.
898. 39:53>> Okay. The meeting is to discuss
899. 39:58improving
900. 40:02staff benefits
901. 40:04and pay. Okay.
902. 40:10So you will be managers in the company
903. 40:14and you will be having a meeting to
904. 40:15discuss staff benefits and pay.
905. 40:19First of all I want you to take 2
906. 40:21minutes now to write some ideas okay
907. 40:25about your opinions and things. So what
908. 40:28you think would be good to to improve
909. 40:31them so you have some ideas ready for
910. 40:33the discussion. Okay. in the discussion
911. 40:36in a moment I'll tell you you would need
912. 40:37to use the sentences so you can think
913. 40:40about that as well okay so just two
914. 40:41minutes working on your own uh before we
915. 40:45discuss just start the discussion
916. 40:56okay so you have some ideas
917. 40:59>> okay now I'm going to have the meeting
918. 41:02okay it's just the three of you I'm
919. 41:03going to step away so that I'm not
920. 41:05involved. And during the meeting, you
921. 41:07will discuss your ideas and you will use
922. 41:09the phrases that we've been looking at
923. 41:12today in order to express opinions, give
924. 41:15reasons, agree, disagree, etc. Okay? Um,
925. 41:18I want to hear you using all the phrases
926. 41:20as much as possible. You have the cards
927. 41:22so you can refer back to them. Um so for
928. 41:25example if I were in the meeting I might
929. 41:28say if we were to ask employees I
930. 41:31suspect that they would want a pay
931. 41:34increase okay because since the pandemic
932. 41:37everything has been very difficult and
933. 41:39it's important now with high inflation
934. 41:42that uh people receive good pay and then
935. 41:44we could discuss. Okay. So that is an
936. 41:47example. Um but it's not a monologue.
937. 41:49It's a discussion. So you go uh back and
938. 41:52forth between you. At the end I would
939. 41:55like you to agree
940. 41:58a solution.
941. 42:01Okay. So to have one thing that you
942. 42:03agree on. All right. So that's your aim
943. 42:05for the meeting. Um you have around 7
944. 42:08minutes to have the meeting and off you
945. 42:11go.
946. 42:15touching your your phrase. Um, one of
947. 42:18the things I have uh written is uh what
948. 42:21about asking employees about their
949. 42:23preferences?
950. 42:24I agree with you up to a point, but I'm
951. 42:27not sure all of them uh want uh cash and
952. 42:32that's all. I mean, some of them would
953. 42:35appreciate some uh different type of
954. 42:38benefits. So, before talking about
955. 42:42everything else, should we ask them
956. 42:45or simply
957. 42:47tell them what we have decided.
958. 42:50>> I am in favor of it because increasing
959. 42:53the pay is the most important thing they
960. 42:56they can receive. But but there are
961. 42:58others that are very important like for
962. 43:00example taking a nap at work for at
963. 43:03least 30 minutes every day.
964. 43:06Perhaps this will increase would
965. 43:08increase their creativity.
966. 43:11M
967. 43:13I'm a favor of it because it's important
968. 43:16to create a good work atmosphere. So
969. 43:20it's important to to offer several
970. 43:23shares, stock option, mar money or for
971. 43:27example free holidays.
972. 43:29But again about the asking people um I
973. 43:34suspect that some of the employees would
974. 43:36not like to receive stock options or
975. 43:39shares because they don't like this kind
976. 43:41of of of things of um future rewards. So
977. 43:48uh is it possible that they can have an
978. 43:52option to decide what type of benefit
979. 43:54they receive or again we decide and tell
980. 43:58them what we have decided as as far as
981. 44:02I'm concerned one way of increasing
982. 44:05benefits could be increasing their their
983. 44:07their talents. I think for example
984. 44:11creating an art space for all the
985. 44:13employees in the company would be a way
986. 44:16to for them to be to be happier.
987. 44:21But I I have a few reservations
988. 44:24to give
989. 44:27these benefits to everyone. I I think
990. 44:30that it's better to to give just the
991. 44:33best employees.
992. 44:34>> Mhm. Yeah. That's uh but um I agree with
993. 44:40you up to a point but if we go that way
994. 44:44um how do we control the performance of
995. 44:47each employee who who does the control?
996. 44:50Uh do we give a team leader full power
997. 44:53of decision to give this uh that amount
998. 44:57and this other guy another a different
999. 45:00amount.
1000. 45:02How we decide how we
1001. 45:05couldn't we just if you give all
1002. 45:10benefits to everyone perhaps
1003. 45:14you don't you don't realize this effort
1004. 45:19perhaps
1005. 45:21it's important to focus just about the
1006. 45:24the best employees and then for example
1007. 45:28you you can um
1008. 45:33establish a goal and if you
1009. 45:38accomplish this goal, you
1010. 45:43welcome and you are the winner. I I
1011. 45:46suspect that working at home will be a
1012. 45:48good way uh to reduce the stress and
1013. 45:52reducing the stress will be very good to
1014. 45:55to sort out to sol to solve solutions or
1015. 45:59problems and and this also would be a
1016. 46:03way to
1017. 46:05to understand more other people to be
1018. 46:08more empathy with them. I think working
1019. 46:11at home would would be a good way to
1020. 46:15increase benefits.
1021. 46:16>> I have a few reservations about that
1022. 46:19because I think we we put on the table
1023. 46:22at the same time the money and the naps
1024. 46:25or the uh nice workplace some people
1025. 46:30would understand that this is
1026. 46:35they can have both. I mean that we are
1027. 46:37offering naps because we don't want to
1028. 46:39give them money. So, uh maybe uh I don't
1029. 46:43know, couldn't we just uh
1030. 46:47talk about uh money first and then uh
1031. 46:51about benefits, non-cash benefits later
1032. 46:54or or the other way around but not do it
1033. 46:56in the same uh in the same moment
1034. 47:00because I don't know
1035. 47:02>> how about if we think if we thought in
1036. 47:06in employees to be healthier at work
1037. 47:10Because perhaps when they are calm at
1038. 47:13home and doing things slowly, they are
1039. 47:16able to sort out better solutions and to
1040. 47:21answer to because sometimes when you are
1041. 47:24in a hurry or you're in a hospital, they
1042. 47:28they take very quickly the decisions and
1043. 47:32at last they don't find anything and
1044. 47:35things go well.
1045. 47:36>> Absolutely favor of it. That's that's
1046. 47:38that's
1047. 47:39>> being relaxed is is sometimes very
1048. 47:41important.
1049. 47:44>> But as far as I'm concerned,
1050. 47:47I would like to uh have
1051. 47:51uh
1052. 47:52a moment of decision
1053. 47:55at this one
1054. 47:58so that any uh employee feels that is
1055. 48:01receiving what he wants or she wants. I
1056. 48:05mean if we
1057. 48:07uh offer at least two roads uh cash or
1058. 48:12stock options or other type of uh uh
1059. 48:15payments and they decide they cannot uh
1060. 48:18then change the decision but they would
1061. 48:21feel that have decided something at the
1062. 48:24company sometimes this is important to
1063. 48:26to let them have a certain capacity of
1064. 48:30decision. Yeah, I agree with you up to a
1065. 48:34point, but it's important
1066. 48:37to to be able to to check this benefits
1067. 48:42in a contract, but when you sign the
1068. 48:45contract, you you should that if you
1069. 48:47make effort, you you will win it.
1070. 48:51That is that's interesting because we
1071. 48:53can do it in the new um
1072. 48:56contracts in the new uh people we we
1073. 49:00hire
1074. 49:01um to have this decision in the contract
1075. 49:05from the first moment and then it's
1076. 49:07something that's already clear. I
1077. 49:09understand you but being healthier is
1078. 49:11very important and not everything is
1079. 49:14money in life because sometimes hospital
1080. 49:18are full of people who has died in their
1081. 49:22in their churches so healthy is is
1082. 49:27important too
1083. 49:28>> yeah to be healthy
1084. 49:29>> I understand but we are talking about so
1085. 49:32many things couldn't we just focus on at
1086. 49:35least one decision
1087. 49:38uh
1088. 49:39cash or uh other benefits um
1089. 49:44at least decide something to to start to
1090. 49:47to present a first agreement.
1091. 49:52>> I think both of them could be benefit
1092. 49:54for the company benefits money and and
1093. 49:57things other things that can would
1094. 49:59motivate the employees. But couldn't we
1095. 50:03just if the the the company offer not
1096. 50:08just
1097. 50:10economic benefits but social benefits
1098. 50:12because
1099. 50:14you
1100. 50:17you could become a a m materialist
1101. 50:21person and I I prefer another another
1102. 50:24benefits. Yes.
1103. 50:25>> Mhm. That's why I was uh talking about
1104. 50:28the capacity to decide uh
1105. 50:33which way to go cash I take it and
1106. 50:36decide for myself or other types of uh
1107. 50:40of benefits.
1108. 50:42>> Mhm.
1109. 50:42>> Yeah. Perhaps we could do
1110. 50:46a a research about what would think the
1111. 50:48employees in a company different
1112. 50:51solution and they give us a survey to
1113. 50:54understand them more and and to be more
1114. 50:56empathy with them.
1115. 50:58>> For example, it's important to to choose
1116. 51:00to work at home like
1117. 51:06a social benefit not just
1118. 51:09pay more
1119. 51:11money. Perhaps it's important to to be
1120. 51:14able to to to stay in in your house with
1121. 51:17your family
1122. 51:19to get the consolation the familiar
1123. 51:22consolation.
1124. 51:23>> Okay. How about if we uh talk to the
1125. 51:27team leaders? I mean there we are
1126. 51:28talking about 20 some 30 people. We tell
1127. 51:33them about what we have discussed today.
1128. 51:35We ask them to do a
1129. 51:38research with their people and meet
1130. 51:41again in let's say a week and receive
1131. 51:44the feedback and see what they people
1132. 51:47feels wants or has is it a way to start
1133. 51:52to move ahead?
1134. 51:56Can we agree on on on this?
1135. 52:02Yeah, I think we can agree if we we
1136. 52:05understand the employees what they need,
1137. 52:08what are the things that are more
1138. 52:10important for them, not only money,
1139. 52:12other things, social things, things.
1140. 52:15>> Okay. So, we do that. We call for a
1141. 52:17meeting with all the team leaders and
1142. 52:20explain the situation and ask them to
1143. 52:23>> free research. Yeah. free programs to be
1144. 52:26healthier
1145. 52:27>> at work, at home, flexible things. A lot
1146. 52:30of things we can offer them. I think we
1147. 52:33have to discuss them later because this
1148. 52:35is difficult
1149. 52:37>> to
1150. 52:38>> Okay.
1151. 52:39>> Do you agree Pablo?
1152. 52:41>> Yeah, I at the end.
1153. 52:43>> Do you agree? No, I I I agree because
1154. 52:47the the most important is the the to is
1155. 52:50to get the the best atmosphere
1156. 52:53>> because perhaps you you are rich but you
1157. 52:56are you are not happy.
1158. 52:58>> Yes. Perhaps happiness is important too.
1159. 53:02>> Yeah. And so and benefits perhaps try to
1160. 53:06to get the balance in a in a company
1161. 53:09with several employees.
1162. 53:11>> Well done. Maybe a good discussion and
1163. 53:14agreement as well at the end. Fantastic.
1164. 53:18Well done using all of those phrases.
1165. 53:20You all used a great selection of them.
1166. 53:22How do you feel using them? Do you feel
1167. 53:24that it made a nice polite form
1168. 53:26conversation?
1169. 53:28>> Yes. What was your favorite phrase, Liz?
1170. 53:31>> Which one do you like using?
1171. 53:34>> I like I agree with you up to a point
1172. 53:36because this shows
1173. 53:39this should I negotiate to
1174. 53:41>> Nice. And you like the negotiation
1175. 53:44and in favor of it.
1176. 53:46>> Yes.
1177. 53:47>> Let's
1178. 53:48>> let's do it.
1179. 53:50>> I like couldn't we just Good. Yeah. Just
1180. 53:53a nice do nice polish. I'll do
1181. 53:55something.
1182. 53:57>> Very good. Well done. You did great job.
1183. 53:59Just very quickly want to go through a
1184. 54:01couple of uh corrections with you. Just
1185. 54:03little things that I heard some related
1186. 54:05to this and some in discussion. Um we
1187. 54:08had the phrase more impacting for them
1188. 54:11was used a couple of times which is a

1204. 54:47Um,
1205. 54:49what, Louis, do you think is wrong with
1206. 54:50this phrase?

1209. 55:01>> Increasing pay. Increasing.
1210. 55:03>> Exactly. So increasing pay, we're
1211. 55:05talking about pay as a noun. So

1222. 55:30>> Exactly. We have control. So, who has
1223. 55:32the control? Question. Yeah. Now, we had
1224. 55:35a great phrase here. Couldn't we just if
1225. 55:38we and I think the verb here was maybe
1226. 55:41did. So, for example, so how can we
1227. 55:44change this so it goes it flows?
1228. 55:48Couldn't we just
1229. 55:51do
1230. 55:51>> do exactly? We're just going to have the
1231. 55:52verb straight after whatever it is here.
1232. 55:55Wonderful. Um, how about if we thought,
1233. 56:00what is maybe the correction here?
1234. 56:05We think. Yeah, if we were going to use
1235. 56:06it, we would say think. And again, maybe
1236. 56:09these are two things we think. So maybe
1237. 56:11how about if we and then just the action
1238. 56:13of doing it. Yeah. If we say he or she
1239. 56:17wants, there's a quicker way to say
1240. 56:18this. There's more generic. Do you know
1241. 56:22>> legs?
1242. 56:24>> Well, sorry. Sorry. to change this. They
1243. 56:27>> want
1244. 56:28>> Yeah. So rather than saying he or she
1245. 56:30would just say so if they want
1246. 56:32>> Yeah. Great. And then um this was just
1247. 56:36reference to your face. So become a
1248. 56:37material person. Great idea to get that
1249. 56:40across. How do we use this? Do we know
1250. 56:42how to change it?
1251. 56:43>> Material.
1252. 56:44>> Material.
1253. 56:45>> Materialistic.
1254. 56:47>> Materialistic.
1255. 56:47>> So and we can just say become
1256. 56:50materialistic. So we don't need to say
1257. 56:52the whole phrase. Yeah. So people might
1258. 56:54become
1259. 56:56materialistic
1260. 56:58because it describes that this way.
