Hello everyone, Justin here and I am back
with another Bizmates for Beginners
0:00:05.850,0:00:10.290
video lesson where every week we
introduce a new idiom, phrase, or
0:00:10.290,0:00:15.120
expression that you can use in your
daily business conversation. And this
0:00:15.120,0:00:22.260
week everyone, we are going to learn:
"to be blown away." OK, to be blown away
0:00:22.260,0:00:26.910
what does this mean? If you're interested
please stay tuned, but first as always,
0:00:26.910,0:00:32.520
let's begin with a quick review of last
week's class. Alright everyone, so imagine
0:00:32.520,0:00:38.250
I say: Hi! How are you doing today?
But unfortunately because you have been
0:00:38.250,0:00:45.090
working all weekends - no rest - you
are physically in kind of poor condition.
0:00:45.090,0:00:50.309
Alright so how do you say that using the
expression from last week? I'll give you
0:00:50.309,0:00:53.340
five seconds. Are you ready?
Okay go!
0:00:56.860,0:01:00.500
Alright and time is up if you said:
0:01:00.500,0:01:06.000
I was here all weekend, so I'm feeling
pretty run-down, then that's exactly right.
0:01:06.000,0:01:12.150
Well done and thank you for remembering
last week's class. Okay everyone, let's
0:01:12.150,0:01:18.830
move on to: "to be blown away." Alright
now this is what I sometimes hear --
0:01:18.830,0:01:25.020
alright so I'm talking to my good friend
and colleague, Taro, and we just
0:01:25.020,0:01:31.049
interviewed an applicant, okay? This
person wants to work for our company, so
0:01:31.049,0:01:36.479
I'm asking Taro about his opinion: So, say
Taro, what did you think about the
0:01:36.479,0:01:42.390
applicant's presentation? It was pretty
good, right? Taro says: Yeah, I was very
0:01:42.390,0:01:48.090
impressed! Alright very good. Thank You
Taro, I'm happy to hear that. Okay, so
0:01:48.090,0:01:52.500
"very impressed" - no problem, easy to
understand, but if you wanted to add a
0:01:52.500,0:01:57.479
little more spice to your English or use
something that a native English speaker
0:01:57.479,0:02:05.270
might say, you could use... that's right.
I was blown away. So whenever something
0:02:05.270,0:02:12.690
really, really impresses you, you can say:
"I was blown away" okay? So for example
0:02:12.690,0:02:17.130
I was blown away by his presentation.
I was blown away
0:02:17.130,0:02:24.060
by the design, okay? Or if you want to
change the subject, you can say the movie
0:02:24.060,0:02:31.440
blew me away, alright? Or the business
idea blew me away, okay? So whenever
0:02:31.440,0:02:35.819
something really impresses you, you can
use this expression, okay?
0:02:35.819,0:02:39.900
Alright pronunciation, as you see it
here: I was blown away!
0:02:39.900,0:02:44.160
So please repeat after me:
I was blown away! Your turn.
0:02:46.080,0:02:51.020
Very good, now after my question:
So what did you think about the applicant's
0:02:51.020,0:02:52.720
presentation?
0:02:54.460,0:02:59.620
