Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Verb Phrase 100.
All right. The verb phrase today is to get in on something. Okay. Let's take a
look at the note here. We actually have two meanings. So there's two ways we
could look at it. If someone gets in on something, he or she gets involved in
something that many other people have already started doing that is enjoyable
or interesting. So that's one way you could get in on something. Or number two.
We use it this way a lot. To get involved in doing something that makes money . Like
somebody sees other people make money and they want to get in on the same
thing. Okay. So we got three examples here. Let's take a look at example number one.
Almost everyone is traveling overseas these days. We should get in on the fun
and plan a trip of our own. All right. That would be one typical way you might
hear it. Or number two here. A lot of people have made money on that
investment. We should get in on it too. It's a little similar to like get in on
the action. You know, of something too in that way. So I think it's a directly
connected to that. And number three here. After 7-eleven was so successful with
their Hello Kitty sticker campaign, other convenience stores decided to get in on,
in on it and promote similar campaigns. Okay. Good. That was a long time ago.
That was probably, oh I don't know maybe 15 years ago. But it was so successful
the first time they tried it. Actually what they did is I don't know, I think if
you went to 7-eleven and you spent what's more or less equivalent to about two
about three US dollars, you got Oh two or three US Dollars you got one sticker. And
if you collect so many stickers, then you could get some little Hello Kitty toy.
But you'd be surprised how many people went there and how it increased their
business a lot. And a lot of the other convenience stores you know, they, they
they decided to get in on it. Oh to this day, they still do a lot of
promotions like that. It's not, it's not as big as the craze as when it first
started, but hey they still do it. So it still must be working. It still encourages
more people to go to their particular convenience store, if they give away a
cute little prize or a cute little toy. If you collect so many stickers and of
course then you have to spend so much money there. Okay. Anyway, I hope you got
it . I hope it was clear. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
