I think it's time to describe the story. Hmm. So we need to know a little bit more information, what's going on behind this situation behind the scenes what's happening. And we can use my imagination. Here we go. This is Angela.

And she was contracted by an advertising agency two months ago to promote a new line of ladies clothing. Hmm, nice long sentence there. Okay, so the girls are the lady's name is Angela, and she was contracted. That means that she came into an agreement she made an agreement with like shaking hands kind of agreement with a company with an advertising agency, that she would do some work for them. And they made the contract or the agreement two months ago. And what she's supposed to do is create something to promote a new line of work.

Ladies clothing and promote just means let everybody know about it put the information out there, maybe it's online advertising, maybe it's magazines, newspaper, billboards, but she wants to promote the new line of ladies clothing. And a new line of ladies clothing just means that a company, a clothing store, maybe designer, they have a new group of clothes that they've come up with. And they want to show the world excuse me, all right. It was an extremely lucrative agreement. So extremely not just low level but really high level extremely. And now we have lucrative lucrative is an interesting vocabulary word.

Excuse me. So let's take a look what does lucrative mean? Right Here we are, let's to hear the pronunciation. lucrative. lucrative, lucrative, okay. So lucrative means producing a great deal of profit to we're talking about money, right?

We're looking at some of the synonyms profitable profit making gainful renewal rated, well paid high pain, bankable. Right? LEAH Huda says to promote to let everyone know about something that's right. All right, the opposite of lucrative would be unprofitable. So her deal was extremely lucrative. That means she's gonna make a ton of money.

If she finishes the contract, right, Angela decided to procrastinate and not start working on the project right away. Alright, so if someone procrastinates they decide, you know, I'll just wait. I'll start later. I'm not going to do it. Now. I'm going to procrastinate.

I'm going to wait I'm not going to start working right now. Okay. Angela had more exciting plans. Okay. All right, here we go. Let's do some pronunciation repeat after me.

Me. This is Angela. Let me start again. Sorry. Take a drink first. Okay.

Oh, here we go. Repeat after me. This is Angela and she was contract. This is Angela and she was contracted by an advertising agency two months ago to promote a new line of ladies clothing. It was an extremely lucrative agreement. Angela decided to procrastinate and not start working on the project right away.

Angela had more exciting plans. Okay, let's see a garden says what's the difference between clothes and clothing? And how you spelled it you spell the cloths? I think you mean clothes in clothing or type it into the comments. clothes, CL o th e s that's clothes and clothing. Um, they're pretty much the same thing, right?

It's the pieces of clothing or shirt, pants, whatever that's on your body. You like my clothing? Do you like my clothes? They're almost interchangeable. Okay. All right, let's go to the next section of the story.

Angela delayed the project because she was too busy playing video games, eating popcorn and gossiping with her friends on WhatsApp. Right. And popcorn. I assume you guys know what popcorn is. But it's delicious. So we will take a look at it anyway.

Let's see some nice pictures of that back over the stage. See some nice pictures of popcorn. Aha, it's very common to eat at the movie theater. They have different kinds. My favorite kind of popcorn is Carmel thermal popcorn. It looks like caramel, but I've always grown up pronouncing it Carmel.

Thermo popcorn. Um It's tasty, huh caramel caramel popcorn. This is probably my favorite kind of popcorn. Not very healthy, but very tasty. Okay, I need to stay focused here. Let's go back.

Alright. Now the contract deadline is only two days away. Boy, ah, the deadline that was the title of this whole lesson deadline, huh? What is a deadline? Well, I'm glad you asked. We have a nice, lovely dictionary that we can explore.

And we're going to find deadline. All right, let's hear their pronunciation deadline deadline, okay, and the official definition, the latest time or date by which something should be completed. All right, so time limit limit finishing date finishing time. The deadline for submissions is February 5 2018. Submit there you turn in your work on February 6, or February 7 or anytime after February 5 to say, Ah, the deadline already passed is too late. Okay.

Go back. The contract deadline is only two days away. And she had signed the contract like two months ago. Right. Angela freaked out after opening her laptop and seeing how much work has yet to be finished. Hmm All right.

I see very collagenous says when I eat popcorn or some fried food, I begin to cough because my stomach suffers. Mm hmm. Maybe indigestion indigestion is when we eat something in our stomach gets upset. Right? And it's not good. Okay, so let's talk about freaked out.

Angela freaked out. Opening leptons you know How much work Okay, so let's, we talked about freaked out. I think it's just good to see some pictures that will say freaked out, say freaked out person. How about that? What is the idiom, a picture's worth 1000 words. So these people are freaked out.

Something has made them upset or scared them or shocked them or something. They're freaked out. All right. Let's see Leah who says please explain what's deadline. I'm not sure if there's a delay. I just explained what a deadline was.

It's the time limit is when something needs to be turned in. Like if. If your professor says you have a deadline of two weeks, you need to finish by two weeks. The deadline right? Whoo. Because all he says appalled.

Huh? That's not bad. appalled is usually negative, right? If you're appalled by something, you're like, Ah, that's terrible. That's horrible. It's incredibly bad.

If you freak out, it could be good or bad. Have you ever seen like, like the boy or the Beatles? Ah, if you look in the history of the fans that go to the Beatles concerts, they freak out, right? They're like, Oh, they're screaming, they're crying and they're, they're so happy to try to get close to the Beatles. You can say they're freaking out. But you might not be in a bad way.

It might be with so much excitement. However, in this situation, the lady named Angela, she is freaking out because she opened her laptop and she's like, oh, my goodness, I still have so much work to do. And the deadline, the contract deadline is only two days away. My time limit. Okay, right. Here we go.

Repeat after me. Angela delayed the project. Because she was too busy playing video games, eating popcorn and gossiping with her friends on WhatsApp. Now the contract deadline is only two days away. Angela freaked out after opening her laptop and seeing how much work has yet to be finished. Okay, all right, we have a little bit more for the story.

Let's do it. One of Angela's bad habits is chewing on things whenever she gets stressed. She is definitely stressed at The moment when we say at the moment we can say right now, she's definitely stressed right now. I will tell whether or not Angela is able to successfully complete her contract with the advertising agency. Right? I see apples in the comments you guys are doing pronunciation great.

Right? So Time will tell is actually another idiom is pretty simple to understand. I think that the future will give us the information right time will tell. The future will tell us whether or not if, if she is able to complete her contract with the advertising agency. To be honest, her chances don't look good. All right, to be honest, is a common phrase to just say, you know, look, I'm going to be direct with you.

I'm going to be honest with you, to be honest Chances don't look good. The possibility that she'll finish the contract on time. So good. Okay. All right. Oh, because all he says she has a lot on her plate.

I think that is a nice juicy idiom. Yes. So the idiom she has a lot on her plate or to have a lot on your plate. We're not just talking about food, right things on your plate. We're talking about a lot of maybe projects, things you need to do things that you're busy with, and it's a lot to do. Right.

Great. Wonderful in the idiom. Okay, repeat after me. Who are almost to the quiz. There we go. Repeat out loud after me.

One of Angela's bad habits is chewing on things whenever she gets stressed. She is definitely At least stressed at the moment. Time will tell whether or not Angela is able to successfully complete her contract with the advertising agency. To be honest, her chances don't look good. Okay, I see Leah Huda has another idiom. She's up to her neck.

Right? So the work is kind of like the water, right? It's so deep, you're up to your neck and it's uncomfortable. you're overwhelmed. Well up to your neck. Another great idiom.

You just have so much work to do, and it's like, Ah, okay, wonderful. We just finished the story. Story talking about Angela
