Hello and welcome to the English we speak. I’m
Helen and joining me today is Neil.
o
Hello everyone.
-
Neil, tell me about your first over job? (hãy cho tôi biết về công việc đầu tiên của bạn)
o
I worked in a
supermarket stacking shelves when I was sixteen. ( chất chồng, chất đống)
-
How was it?
o
I was quite boring:
just moving things from one place to another, but I was very happy when I got
my first week’s day.
-
And how long did you stay in your first job?
o
Not very long. About
three months during the summer holiday. If I’d stayed there any longer. I would
have gone potty.
-
What? Potty? Did you have get permission to use
the toilet? ( được cho phép)
o
Oh, no, nothing like
that. Nobody needed permission to go to the toilet.
-
Well, you said you would have gone potty. My baby
son has to be reminded about his potty every day.
o
No, they are two
have different things. If someone is potty or going potty, that means is crazy
or going crazy. Here are these examples:
My boss wants me to work in New Year’s Day
for no extra money. He must be potty.
She’s potty to sell off her old car so
cheaply.
-
There is another meaning to “ potty”. If someone
is really keen on something, we can use the phrase “ to be potty about
something”, for example: I really like Japanese comic books, I’m potty about
them.
o
I see, I’m potty
about miniature owls: I’ve got nearly one hundred of them at home.
-
Well, I glad we clearly up the meaning of that. It
would do us any good if people heard us arguing over potties. ( tranh luận, tranh cãi)
o
Oh, no, they’d think
we’re gone potty.
-
Bye.
Bye.
