You finally got your degree? That's great. I knew you could do it. No. Way
to go. That's... that's amazing. Yeah. We should celebrate. Yeah, tomorrow.
Perfect. I'll see you then. Bye. Good job. Hey, everyone. I'm Alex. Thanks for
clicking, and welcome to this lesson on: Encouraging and praising others in
English. So, we all have friends, family, people we know — and one way to
be a good friend, a good brother, a good sister, a good husband, wife, father,
mother, anything you can think of when it comes to human relationships is to
support, and encourage, and be positive with one another. So, today, I'm going
to give you some very quick and some very common phrases, sentences,
imperatives you can use to help encourage the people in your life to
show that you love them, support them, and to praise them for a job well done.
Okay? So, let's start with encouragement. So, first we have: "Go
for it". Okay? So, "Go for it" means, like: Try it; do it. If your friend is
on the fence — which means, like, they're not sure if they want to do
something or try something; if they want to apply for a job, or take the IELTS
test in two months, or something like that — and you say: "You know what?
You're really smart. Go for it. Try it." Okay? So, you're encouraging them.
Another way to encourage this person who has the IELTS in two months: "You can do
it." Right? "I've seen your test results. I've seen how you speak
English, and write in English, and how you listen. You can do it. Go for it.
Just try". Okay. Next: "You got this". Okay? Like: "This is not gonna be a
problem for you; you will be able to achieve your goal. You can do it; you
will be able to do it. You got this". This is... the next two are more slang.
So: "You're gonna rock it". Okay? Like: You will rock this test, you will rock
this IELTS exam, or you will rock this job interview. So, you just want to give
a positive phrase to the person who's gonna go to a job interview or to do
their IELTS exam, and you say: "You know what? I believe in you. You're gonna
rock it. You're gonna smash it", even, is another one. There's a bonus one.
Okay? Next: "You're gonna kill it". Just... "this thing has no chance
against you. This job interview, it's gonna be dead, because you're so
amazing. You're gonna kill it". Okay? So, again, these are two slang ways to
Praise. So, after someone gets that job that they wanted; they get that IELTS
encourage other people. Another way to encourage someone... again, someone is
looking at job advertisements on the internet, and they think: "That sounds
pretty good." And they call you, and they tell you: "Yeah, I'm looking at
score. Right? They do well in that job interview. You want to praise them, and
this job, and I have to do X, Y, and Z". And you think... and you say: "You know
what? You would be perfect for that. You have those skills. You would be perfect
for that job. Apply for it. Don't worry. Go for it. You can do it. You got this".
Okay? And, finally, another way to encourage others: "Just do it. Why not?
Right? Just try. You can do this; you would be a perfect fit for that. That's
perfect for you. Just do it. Apply". All right. Now, why am I going to this side?
I put everything on this side, so I have space here. Okay.
you want to say: "Wow. Well done". Okay? So, you can say: "Good work". Okay? You
can say: "Nice job". You can also flip "good" and "nice" in these first two
phrases, and you can say: "Nice work" or "Good job". Okay? "You got it. I knew
it". Right? "I knew you could do it". That's later. But: "You got it". Right?
Like: "You... you achieved your goal. I believed in you. I knew you could do
it". "You got it" — another way: "You did it! I knew you could". You're
praising them by saying: "Good work. Nice job. You got it. You did it. Way to
go. Bravo". Okay? So, "Bravo" — there's another one. I mean, if you want to be
sarcastic with your friends, and you could say: "Bravo". You could say that,
too. Right? If you have... depending on the friends that you have. So, "Way to
go. That's it. That's it. You did it". Okay? And I already said this one: "I
knew you could do it. I believed in you. You... you are an amazing person, so I
knew you could do it". And, finally, just, like, slang: "You're gonna rock
it". You can say: "You know what? You rock. You're amazing. You're incredible.
You're a good person. People love you — it's true". All right? So: "You're good
enough. You're smart enough. You're strong. You're beautiful. You're kind.
You rock". Okay?
