Mr. Shim: 11/19 Updated: 2007-11-20 13:41:15 Description: Anything new? No. Nothing’s new. (Not ‘yes…’) Page 402 Let’s look at the answers. Do you have questions? Yes, about vocabulary. (Not ‘vocabularies…’) I don’t get the difference between advertising and consumer promotion? Advertising is about getting people to buy something, as shown on TV, radio, in the newspaper, or on billboards, etc. Whereas consumer promotion is selling things in person; getting people to buy things right now. The promoter ‘sells’ by showing you something, demonstrating it, or letting you try it. Then you go and buy it across the store somewhere. What else? What does this mean? Immediate means right away. Phone buzzes. You can check it. Maybe it’s just a message. Mr. Shim checks his phone and laughs. Few things can make you hungrier than a McDonald’s commercial. McDonald’s commercials make you hungrier than anything else. A mindset is a way of thinking. Pronounce: Re-DUCE Siblings are brothers and sisters A Skirmish /SKIR-mish/ is a fight. ‘A hard and fast’ means strict. Hard and fast rules means you shouldn’t break them. My boss made so many hard and fast rules to make us work more effectively. I just thought that there would be some recommendations for a solution, so I looked for that. What’s a mountain spring-fed brook? It’s a very small river (you can jump across one) that gets its water from a hole in the mountain. Do you have a headache? I have been talking to you pretty intensely for a half hour. No. I am just tired. I didn’t have a very long day, because I took a nap in class. (Not, ‘take a sleep’) Entitled means ‘allowed to.’ Aided means ‘helped.’ Indebted means owing something to someone. An estimate is an average price guess based on some general information. I’m here to get an estimate for/on the price of your latest laptop computer. To insist means to force by friendly persuasion, or by threat. My parents insist (that) I study like a madman. Sometimes they say things like that. We talk, or we say things; we say this, or we say that, but we don’t ‘talk that.’ Hmm, what do I want to say? How can I say this in English? A leave of absence is a short vacation or break or an allowed absence from duty. LISTEN NOW | DOWNLOAD |
