1
00:00:01,970 --> 00:00:06,319
hi my name is Emma and today we are

2
00:00:06,319 --> 00:00:07,880
going to be learning some new

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,330
conversation expressions so I don't know

4
00:00:11,330 --> 00:00:12,710
if you have seen my last video

5
00:00:12,710 --> 00:00:15,890
conversation expressions where we looked

6
00:00:15,890 --> 00:00:20,269
at as I was saying speaking of and if

7
00:00:20,269 --> 00:00:24,349
you ask me this video is going to be

8
00:00:24,349 --> 00:00:26,810
similar we're going to learn three new

9
00:00:26,810 --> 00:00:29,539
conversation expressions that are not

10
00:00:29,539 --> 00:00:31,429
really used in writing only in

11
00:00:31,429 --> 00:00:33,860
conversation so you will hear these

12
00:00:33,860 --> 00:00:36,320
expressions quite often especially in

13
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,100
movies and TV and another thing too that

14
00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:43,370
is important to realize is that when you

15
00:00:43,370 --> 00:00:46,010
learn these expressions memorize them as

16
00:00:46,010 --> 00:00:51,230
a chunk so what that means is for

17
00:00:51,230 --> 00:00:56,420
example that reminds me this remember it

18
00:00:56,420 --> 00:01:02,540
as a whole chunk of language ok so what

19
00:01:02,540 --> 00:01:03,920
expressions are we going to be learning

20
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,750
today well of course that reminds me the

21
00:01:08,750 --> 00:01:11,240
second one is if worst comes to worst

22
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,800
and the third one is bring a bell so

23
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,640
let's get started ok so that reminds me

24
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:24,290
when do we use that reminds me so again

25
00:01:24,290 --> 00:01:26,360
this is in a conversation we use it when

26
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,610
somebody says something in the

27
00:01:28,610 --> 00:01:31,250
conversation and it makes me remember

28
00:01:31,250 --> 00:01:34,310
something else so it's kind of like

29
00:01:34,310 --> 00:01:37,070
imagine a comic when that light bulb

30
00:01:37,070 --> 00:01:40,729
clicks or it turns on i mean when you

31
00:01:40,729 --> 00:01:42,470
see the light bulb and you think about

32
00:01:42,470 --> 00:01:45,830
something else so it has to do with your

33
00:01:45,830 --> 00:01:48,860
memory and remembering things so for

34
00:01:48,860 --> 00:01:53,869
example i bought my boyfriend a ps3 for

35
00:01:53,869 --> 00:01:55,940
his birthday maybe somebody tells you

36
00:01:55,940 --> 00:01:57,979
that that would be a very nice thing to

37
00:01:57,979 --> 00:02:01,400
do now the second person in the

38
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,170
conversation so remember this is a

39
00:02:03,170 --> 00:02:07,760
conversation might say aha keyword

40
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,000
birthday and they're reminded their

41
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,840
boyfriend is having a birthday soon so

42
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,400
the conversation might look like this i

43
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,379
bought my boyfriend a ps3 for his

44
00:02:18,379 --> 00:02:21,379
birthday first person says second person

45
00:02:21,379 --> 00:02:25,640
might say that reminds me my boyfriend's

46
00:02:25,640 --> 00:02:28,400
birthday is coming up too or my

47
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,470
boyfriend's birthday is soon I need to

48
00:02:30,470 --> 00:02:33,650
buy him a present as well so again we

49
00:02:33,650 --> 00:02:36,019
use this when what the first person says

50
00:02:36,019 --> 00:02:39,920
reminds you of something and it's used

51
00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:42,110
at the beginning of what you're saying

52
00:02:42,110 --> 00:02:46,940
so let's think of another example person

53
00:02:46,940 --> 00:02:50,450
one in the conversation might say I saw

54
00:02:50,450 --> 00:02:54,890
a great movie on TV last night the

55
00:02:54,890 --> 00:02:57,620
second person suddenly that light bulb

56
00:02:57,620 --> 00:03:02,209
switches on oh that reminds me did you

57
00:03:02,209 --> 00:03:04,849
hear there is a DVD sale at the mall

58
00:03:04,849 --> 00:03:08,150
today so maybe they saw the word movie

59
00:03:08,150 --> 00:03:09,709
they heard the word movie and it

60
00:03:09,709 --> 00:03:13,670
reminded them that that there's a DVD

61
00:03:13,670 --> 00:03:17,329
sale at the mall so again it's when

62
00:03:17,329 --> 00:03:19,730
something brings to mind something else

63
00:03:19,730 --> 00:03:23,600
are you going to the hockey game today

64
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,840
oh yes yes I really want to go to the

65
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,000
hockey game that reminds me we should

66
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,880
buy tickets soon so it's where something

67
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,819
previously said reminds you of a

68
00:03:34,819 --> 00:03:38,930
different point so here we have our

69
00:03:38,930 --> 00:03:43,040
second expression if worst comes to

70
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,130
worst now there are two variations on

71
00:03:46,130 --> 00:03:48,769
this expression some people say worst

72
00:03:48,769 --> 00:03:51,530
other people

73
00:03:51,530 --> 00:03:58,040
say worse so worse or worst both are ok

74
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,950
you will hear both depending on who you

75
00:04:00,950 --> 00:04:03,920
speak to so what does this mean if worse

76
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,760
comes to worst well it means when we use

77
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,319
is we're talking about the future and

78
00:04:09,319 --> 00:04:12,980
we're saying if the worst thing happens

79
00:04:12,980 --> 00:04:16,070
in the future and usually it's followed

80
00:04:16,070 --> 00:04:21,200
by a solution so for example if you have

81
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,010
to take a test maybe the IELTS maybe

82
00:04:25,010 --> 00:04:27,410
TOEFL which a lot of you probably will

83
00:04:27,410 --> 00:04:30,410
have to take maybe you will say

84
00:04:30,410 --> 00:04:33,890
something like I will study hard I will

85
00:04:33,890 --> 00:04:37,760
find a teacher to help me and practice

86
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:42,919
IELTS or TOEFL questions but if worse

87
00:04:42,919 --> 00:04:46,400
comes to worst meaning if the worst

88
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,710
thing happens which would be failing the

89
00:04:48,710 --> 00:04:54,139
test maybe I can take the test again so

90
00:04:54,139 --> 00:04:57,620
here the worst is failing the aisles the

91
00:04:57,620 --> 00:04:59,690
solution so the future plan if that

92
00:04:59,690 --> 00:05:02,720
outcome happens is taking the test again

93
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:08,000
so here's another example hopefully this

94
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,950
doesn't happen but if you have a

95
00:05:09,950 --> 00:05:13,430
daughter my daughter is sick but we

96
00:05:13,430 --> 00:05:17,720
planned to go on a trip if worse comes

97
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,390
to worst we'll cancel the trip meaning

98
00:05:20,390 --> 00:05:24,200
if the worst outcome happens and she

99
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,200
doesn't get better she's still sick the

100
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,650
solution is going to be will cancel the

101
00:05:30,650 --> 00:05:35,510
trip so we use this for imagining what's

102
00:05:35,510 --> 00:05:37,550
the worst that can happen and what will

103
00:05:37,550 --> 00:05:42,590
we do if that happens another example is

104
00:05:42,590 --> 00:05:44,390
if you're going for your driver's

105
00:05:44,390 --> 00:05:48,169
license you practice driving before

106
00:05:48,169 --> 00:05:51,110
you're a little nervous about the test

107
00:05:51,110 --> 00:05:53,750
but you could say I'm going to give it

108
00:05:53,750 --> 00:05:56,210
my best I'm going to try to pass this

109
00:05:56,210 --> 00:06:00,440
test but it worse comes to worse maybe

110
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:01,950
I'll retake the test

111
00:06:01,950 --> 00:06:04,620
so again it's just potential outcomes

112
00:06:04,620 --> 00:06:07,470
what's your solution if the worst thing

113
00:06:07,470 --> 00:06:12,690
happens finally our last expression for

114
00:06:12,690 --> 00:06:16,680
today to ring a bell now when we say

115
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,110
this we don't mean to literally ring a

116
00:06:19,110 --> 00:06:23,460
bell we mean when you're reminded of

117
00:06:23,460 --> 00:06:25,800
something it's different though from the

118
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,160
the first expression we use that reminds

119
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,840
me this is different and I'll explain

120
00:06:30,840 --> 00:06:34,320
how in a second so to ring a bell it

121
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,540
reminds you of something sometimes not

122
00:06:36,540 --> 00:06:39,930
so clearly we often used ring a bell

123
00:06:39,930 --> 00:06:41,880
when we're talking about somebody's name

124
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,330
and trying to remember who they are so

125
00:06:45,330 --> 00:06:47,730
let's look at some examples number one

126
00:06:47,730 --> 00:06:52,620
do you know the actor sam neill maybe

127
00:06:52,620 --> 00:06:54,750
some of you are thinking Oh Sam Neill

128
00:06:54,750 --> 00:06:57,540
that name sounds familiar but you can't

129
00:06:57,540 --> 00:07:00,450
quite place it it's a little unclear

130
00:07:00,450 --> 00:07:02,850
well this is when we would use ring a

131
00:07:02,850 --> 00:07:06,810
bell his name rings a bell but I can't

132
00:07:06,810 --> 00:07:09,840
remember his face meaning I kind of

133
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,610
remember his name I've heard it before

134
00:07:11,610 --> 00:07:17,520
but I I'm still kind of unclear another

135
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,400
example I gave you ten dollars last

136
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:25,500
night ring a bell do you remember that's

137
00:07:25,500 --> 00:07:26,760
what this one means you can say it to

138
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,010
your friends if you ever loaned the

139
00:07:29,010 --> 00:07:31,860
money and you kind of want to ask for a

140
00:07:31,860 --> 00:07:33,720
back you can say I gave you this money

141
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,930
last night ring a bell meaning do you

142
00:07:36,930 --> 00:07:42,540
remember so again like what I said with

143
00:07:42,540 --> 00:07:45,090
the other expressions these expressions

144
00:07:45,090 --> 00:07:46,710
it's important to memorize them as a

145
00:07:46,710 --> 00:07:50,070
chunk ring a bell so you can use it

146
00:07:50,070 --> 00:07:53,520
stand alone for example here ring a bell

147
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,000
it's like a question ring a bell or you

148
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,020
can use it as a verb his name rings a

149
00:08:01,020 --> 00:08:04,830
bell but I don't remember his face so I

150
00:08:04,830 --> 00:08:06,840
know a lot of you may be like me where

151
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:08,550
you can't remember names that well and

152
00:08:08,550 --> 00:08:10,440
somebody says oh do you know so-and-so

153
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,470
and you kind of remember but not quite

154
00:08:13,470 --> 00:08:15,320
that's when you would be using ring

155
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,750
out okay so let's look at our third

156
00:08:17,750 --> 00:08:23,990
example does our site wwan vidcom ring a

157
00:08:23,990 --> 00:08:27,050
bell well if it doesn't you're still

158
00:08:27,050 --> 00:08:28,580
unclear I suggest you check out this

159
00:08:28,580 --> 00:08:32,390
website and take our test that reminds

160
00:08:32,390 --> 00:08:34,160
me there are a lot of other good sources

161
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,160
on this website for you to use and if

162
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,229
worse comes to worse you can rewatch

163
00:08:39,229 --> 00:08:41,990
this video to get a better idea on how

164
00:08:41,990 --> 00:08:44,300
these expressions are used so until next

165
00:08:44,300 --> 00:08:54,410
time take care

166
00:08:54,410 --> 00:08:56,470
you
