106. 4:23well let's look at the language she used
107. 4:25to tell us that Emma's baking skills
108. 4:26were exceptional this
109. 4:28time language takeaway the first word on
110. 4:32language takeaway today is outdid outdid
111. 4:35outdid outdid it means to perform better
112. 4:39than one usually does or to surpass
113. 4:41previous efforts let's listen to some
114. 4:44examples of outdid so you can understand
115. 4:46what it means example one the chef
116. 4:49outdid himself with the five course
117. 4:51meal example two she outdid her
118. 4:55classmates by scoring the highest marks
119. 4:56in the
120. 4:57exam example three
121. 5:00he outdid his previous record by running
122. 5:02the marathon in under 3 hours Great
123. 5:04examples Jennifer so when someone outd
124. 5:07does themselves they do something
125. 5:09exceptionally well exactly now our
126. 5:12second word today is stunning stunning
127. 5:15stunning stunning it means extremely
128. 5:18impressive or attractive let's listen to

132. 5:28stunning example two her performance in
133. 5:31the concert was stunning and received a
134. 5:33standing
135. 5:34ovation example three the architecture
136. 5:37of the ancient Cathedral is stunning
137. 5:40like when they described Maria's dress
138. 5:42as stunning exactly so if something is
139. 5:44stunning it's very beautiful or
140. 5:46impressive perfect and our last word for
141. 5:49today is mixup mixup mixup mixup it

146. 6:03flight example two the pharmacy gave her
147. 6:06a mixup of the wrong
148. 6:08prescription example three due to a
149. 6:11mixup the invitations were sent to the
150. 6:13wrong addresses like when the catering
151. 6:15company mixed up the orders with another
152. 6:17event exactly so a mixup is when things
153. 6:20get confused or mixed together
154. 6:22incorrectly so those were our key
