Hello and welcome to this Bizmates

words and phrases video lesson for
business people.

And today's topic is a unanimous

decision. Woah, it's a difficult word,

unanimous. It's not un, it's u.

A unanimous decision. What kind of
decision is this?

Well we will find out but first let's do
our usual

test. OK so tell me a time

you decided something

by a show love hands.

OK remember at work with your friends
or with your colleagues,

you need to make a decision and everyone

raised their hands for option A. Other
people raised their hands for option B.

What did you decide by a show of hands?

OK, I hope you came up with a good
example.

Let's go on to today's word,

a unanimous decision. OK.

So let's imagine that

ah every, we decided on option A.

So the decision was made and we will
do option A.

Not option B, OK and I say, I'm a
little concerned.

And I say, Taro, were some people

upset with option A. Maybe some people
wanted

option B, but we selected

option A. Were some people upset? And Taro says,

Yeah, yeah, yeah, everyone selected option A

so no problem. Oh, OK so

everyone selected option A. Great.

This is a perfect answer. nothing
is wrong here,

but everyone selected option A.

There is a better way to say this.

OK, and that's unanimous.

Yeah, OK so let's look at this example.

So if I say, so Taro were some people
upset with option A?

And he says, no no no, it was a
unanimous decision,

so no problem. Woah, that's a big
word.

OK, unanimous decision. It's used like this.

OK, so everyone selected option A is OK,

but if you want to sound like your
English is a little bit

higher-level, you can use this word. Yeah, it was a unanimous decision,

so no problem. Everyone

selected this. Everyone

agreed this option, this decision,

is unanimous. OK, let's look at pronunciation.

So it was a, it was a unanimous
decision,

so no problem. It was a unanimous
decision,

so no problem. You try.

OK, good. OK with my sentence. So were
some people upset with option A?

OK, that's good.

Just like that okay so for homework,

tell me a time about a unanimous
decision

in your work. So maybe in a meeting

or you had to decide something with
your colleagues,

tell me an example of a unanimous
decision

that you and your team made in your work.

OK, so you could tell me in the next
lesson. Thank you.
