hello everybody my name is Steve Ford and welcome to your English lesson on
November 11th thank you very much for coming ok so let's go into our lesson
the first question that I have here for you is do you want to be loaded you can
see that this man has a lot of money money is falling from the sky for this
man and that's my question for you guys watching this video would you like to be
loaded to be loaded mean something it means that you want to be very rich
wealthy well-off now what does that mean when someone is just getting by well it
doesn't mean that they're necessarily loaded no it means something else when
you're just getting by as being buying so when you're just
getting by it means that you're just surviving it means you're just you just
have enough money to pay the bills you can go from rags to riches and it means
to go from being very poor to very rich
that's one way to be loaded from poor to wealthy is to go from being poor and
then becoming very wealthy one and this happens sometimes is a marriage of
convenience what is a marriage of convenience well you can see it very
clearly in the picture here this is when someone marries someone who is very rich
for their money
and you could also work your tail off which means that you could work very
hard so you have options as I said before you could have a marriage of
convenience or you could work your tail off you could work very hard those are
two ways that you can go and become wealthy you could work your tail off you
could work very hard you could strike it rich
what is strike it rich mean it means to become rich very quickly there are a lot
of people that are talking about striking it rich becoming rich by
investing their money for example in Bitcoin to have it made means as you can
see in the picture here the family is very happy they're all
together they're all smiling to have it made means they are successful in life
they are already successful in life they're good for the rest of their lives
that means to have it made but success means something different for everybody
success is not the same word representation for everybody it can be
different everybody's different different strokes for different folks
see here that for some people it's to be filthy rich in case you don't know to be
filthy rich means so rich it is obscene
we have a gold-plated toilet so for some people to have it made means to live an
extravagant life other people they are looking for the love of their life and a
love of your life a perfect love of your life is a
soulmate soulmate so here's a question for everybody watching this video do you
prefer a a lot of love and some money be a lot of money who cares about love and
the next question is a grammar question what do you think is correct to spend
money in or on good food that if you thought the correct answer was the
second option spend money on good food high five high five
you are correct that's a common one that a lot of people mix up confuse and the
correct answer would be to spend money on good food boo to the next one leave a
tip - or for the waiter in case you don't know what a tip is it's the money
that we leave for waiters and waitresses often called servers we also leave them
sometimes for we give them to taxi drivers we also give them sometimes to
people who work at the hotel that we're staying at if you thought the correct
answer was for once again give me a high five and give yourself a pat on the back
yes we say to live leave a tip for the waiter after buying something keep the
recipe or keep the receipt hmm recipe receipt okay that's a pretty
unanimous answer so everybody who got that correct excellent high five because
a lot of my advanced students they will mix those up as well so the correct
answer is receipt so check this out if you get this one correct you
get a chocolate and a high-five this is a 75 million dollar mansion a
this is a 75 million dollar mansion B this is a 75 million dollars mansion C
which one do you think is correct and if you thought that the correct answer was
this is a 75 million dollar mansion you are correct the correct answer is
letter A now why is that because of these hyphens here this whole thing is
an adjective and in English we never use S's in adjectives so if you thought that
the correct answer was letter A give yourself a pat on the back that was not
an easy one and that is something that a lot of people do they make that mistake
so be very very careful so everybody I hope that you enjoyed this lesson
talking about money and how you can expand your vocabulary and I hope that
you're able to learn a little bit of grammar too common mistakes that many
people make people who are non-native speakers but are advanced and they
didn't have a chance to have someone correct those mistakes but hopefully I
was able to help you to correct those mistakes I hope to see you guys next
time the next time I will be giving a YouTube live lesson will be next Friday
that will be Friday November 17th and that's going to be at what time that's
going to be at 3:00 p.m. Greenwich Mean Time and I hope to see you there bye
everybody thanks for coming out
