Hi, James from www.engvid.com . E is about to - going "hi-yah!"

I don't know why he would do this, but it seems today's lesson is on business idioms

You can use them for other things, but I'm showing you how you can use these idioms in

Idioms or phrases are sort of a shortcut.

What I mean is we can say long sentences about something, but sometimes by putting two or

three words together, or four, the meaning is given to someone much - much faster and

much clearer than if you gave many sentences.

So, today's lesson is to teach you how to communicate better with other people by speaking,

but also when they're communicating with you, what they're actually trying to say.

We're going to look at some new vocabulary you may not know and then I'm going to give

you the idioms and tell you when a good time to use them is.

So, let's go to the board and get started.

So, E, you're breaking bread all over the place.

Let's start with the vocabulary first, to make sure you understand the vocabulary, so

when I go through with the idioms or phrases, they'll be easy for you to understand.

Now, these little things up here and this here, it's no good.

Yes, we use rye and barley and other things, but a lot of times we use wheat to make bread.

So, you can think - I've got this water here, and this plastic protects it.

It's actually no good, just because we can't drink plastic.

But it does protect the water we want to keep.

Dough is when you take flour, a little bit of water, some salt.

You can use other things and you make bread.

You might have seen your mother take dough, put some flour and water together and then

roll it out and then put it in the oven to make bread.

Now, slice is usually a thin piece of something.

Specifically, when we talk about food, a slice could be a slice of an apple, where you take

a knife, you cut a piece - a thin piece of it that becomes a slice.

It's also the verb is actually "to slice" as well.

So, we slice as a verb - a piece of material can be a slice.

So, we can have a slice of apple or a slice of bread, cool?

So, that's the vocabulary we want to look at.

Now, let's go to the board and take a look at the idioms and phrases.

The first one I have it "separate the wheat from the chaff".

As I told you, the chaff is the protective coating.

Something you would throw away or something that's not good.

The wheat is valuable, because when we make bread, we use the wheat to make the bread.

So, when we separate the wheat from the chaff, we take the thing that is good away from the

And we want to keep the thing that is good, okay?

So, let's say you have ten people that you are looking to interview for a job, and you

might say, "Uh, they kind of look pretty good.

Why don't we give them a test, because as we give them the test, the ones that are good

And we will separate the good candidates for the job from the bad ones", okay?

So, you can see how they would use that in business.

It's when you take flour and water - that comes from wheat.

Well, before you do that, you have to roll it - and this is called a rolling pin - to

Well, rolling in dough also means to have a lot of money.

Because the word "dough" in English can be used for "money".

So, if you have a lot of dough, you've got a lot of money.

If you're rolling in dough, you can imagine all of this is money and this is you.

So, first we start with the wheat, then we go to the dough before we make the bread.

But even when you have bread - oh, do you know what "bread" means as well?

"Dough" means "dough" - oh sorry, "dough" means "money" and "bread" means "money".

If you hear someone say, "That costs a lot of bread".

No, they are not taking bread from the grocery store, going and giving it to someone.

So, "dough" means money and "bread" means money.

Please try to remember that as we go through the idioms and you'll go, "Oh my gosh, it

So, when we say "man does not live by bread alone".

Now, you might say, "What does that have to do with business?"

Well, a lot of people, if you're working, it's not just about the money.

For some people, it's about getting new opportunities at work to learn and to grow.

To have good social contacts, to be able to give input or give something to the company.

So, when someone says, "Man does not live by bread alone", they could be saying in business,

"Look, you pay me a lot of money, but the job is not interesting.
