Hello everyone and welcome to another
Bizmates for Beginners video lesson. My
name is Justin and every week I'm going
to introduce a simple idiom or
expression that you can use in your
daily conversation. So today everyone, we
are going to learn the expression
"through the roof." So let's find out how
to use this and what it means in our
video today. But first everyone, let's do
a quick review of last week's class. All
right everyone, imagine I say "do you know
how to install the new operating system?"
ok but unfortunately, imagine you are not
good at technology. You have no idea. So
what do you say? I'll give you five
seconds. OK ready, go. OK everyone time
is up. If you said "No, I'm not tech savvy"
then that's exactly right and well done.
OK, let's move on to our expression
"through the roof." Now this is what I
sometimes hear. OK, I'm talking to my
colleague Taro and I'm asking him about
our sales performance. So I asked "How are
the sales figures?" And he says "They are
very high." OK, this is good, but I think we
can use something for a little bit more
emphasis to make this sound a little bit
more exciting. So Taro can say "they are
through the roof. OK? So whenever
something is really high, it's through
the roof. It can be used in a negative
sense as well. So for example, if you are
sick, maybe you have a really high fever.
You can say my temperature is through
the roof. OK? So it depends on the
situation. All right now pronunciation. Everyone,
it's very simple. It's as you see it here
this week. They are through
the roof. OK, so please repeat after me.
Through the roof.
Your turn. All right, very good. Now after
my question. How are the sales figures?
They are through the roof. OK, very good.
So please remember this for next time.
OK our bonus question everyone is
another way to say "we have many same
point" if you know a more natural way to
say this, leave it in the comments below.
If you're curious to find out what the
answer is, you can find it in one of our
previous Bizmates for Beginners video
lessons. OK everyone, that is it for me
this week. Thank you so much for watching.
Have a great weekend.
