Let's talk about the people and activities. The actions. What's happening. Hmm, here we go. Who knew we could explain in such detail? Okay, here we go.

The one second. All right, there are three people present at this meeting. Right? And present just means you are physically here your body is here. And I suppose you could be doing it over a phone or a video conference call. But here we can literally see their bodies right 123 people, okay, and we'll say a colon, a woman and two men and two men.

So there are three people present at this meeting a woman and two men. One man is sitting on the far side of the table. And the other two are, are sitting across from him. And we'll say we'll call this the far side of the table, even though the view from the camera is kind of straight down. If we were on this side, we would call this the far side of the table, right? Okay.

Each man is using his right hand to shake hands. All right. And most, I think every country that I've traveled to when you shake hands, you use your right hand, right? In some countries, the left hand is considered maybe disrespectful, dirty, and if you don't use it to shake hands, unless you know you don't have a right hand, then you can maybe use your left. But yeah, pretty much everywhere I've traveled, people use their right hand when they shake hands, it's more respectful, even. Sometimes I've seen where if you give money to people or you give a document or something, they might get a little offended if you use your left hand.

Right? They want you to use your right hand. So it's different cultures, different places in different countries, right? Okay. All right. So repeat after me.

Here we go. There are three people present at this meeting, a woman and two men. One man is sitting on the far side of the table, and the other two are sitting across from him. Each man is using his right hand to shake hands. Uh huh. Sky Blue says Yep, we use the right hand.

Okay. All right. All right. Let's continue. More people. activities, there is enough space between the three people that we can assume this meeting is for business.

And not, not for personal reasons. It's for business and not. We can just say not personal reasons. So there's enough space between the three people. Space just refers to the amount of their positioning around the table. How much Huh?

What other word can we use besides space? Hmm, area, there we go. The amount of area in between the people right? So they're across the table, which is already a good amount of space. But these two people, I don't think they will be like husband and wife or boyfriend and girlfriend, because I think they probably work together but there's a good amount of space in between them. It's a professional place.

Alright, so we can assume Assume means that we have good information and we can make a choice we can make a decision, or based on what we see with think it's this way. Okay, so I would say it's for business, and probably not personal reasons. But who knows? Okay, here we go. Let's see, it is likely that the two people sitting on one side of the table, work together and are trying to reach an agreement with the other person. All right, so the two people sitting on one side of the table, that would be these two people over here, it's likely that they work together.

Usually, at least the business meetings that I've been in and disrupt my past jobs. The other party or the other company, or the people that you don't work with sit on the other side, right. There's kind of it's like a natural Divide when you put them on the other side because, you know, we're not like buddy buddy. We're here for a reason to talk and you know, we can face each other and, and be respectful. Okay, so repeat after me. There is enough space between the three people that we can assume this meeting is for business and not personal reasons.

Okay? It is likely that the two people sitting on one side of the table work together and they're trying to reach an agreement with the other person. Okay, Leah who says the laptop is on the left side of the man right? That's right and Mohammed from I'm also left handed but I use my right hand for shaking hands. Sure. And someone would said, suppose contemplate, I think we're talking about the word assume.

Sure we can suppose something, contemplate is a little bit different because it just means we're pondering or thinking. But we haven't quite made a decision yet. We're just letting the information bounce around in our head. Alright, Mahmoud says, I like your healthy habit of drinking water regularly. Me too. When I talk a lot, I find that my mouth gets dry.

All right. Okay, so let's move forward still on people and activities. All right. Let's start with the woman. The woman is seated across the table, from the man with a man with the computer. All right, and since we don't know the people's names, I mean, it could be George bread and Mary, but we don't know.

Right? So we'll use the objects to help show or define the people's position. So the woman is across from the man with the computer, right? So then it's totally obvious that it's not this guy, right? Because he doesn't have the computer by him. Right?

She is wearing a white business suit. All right. business suit, and probably a business suit for women. I assume because she's a woman. Let's take a look. Let's see.

We'll say it we'll do white business suit for women. There we go. Cuz all we can see her arms in the picture. So all right, so this is like a business suit. It's kind of formal. It could work for a business occasion.

Right? It's not too informal. It's probably very comfortable to though Okay, so So that is a white business suit for women. All right. Let's see. What's wearing a white business suit.

Okay. We can only see her to hand. her fingernails are painted a dark color. All right, I probably need to spell that right. Mahmoud says we can save formal outfit also. Sure.

And Leah who does is I like her polish. Okay, so let's see her fingernails. Like right there, right? Oh, the fingernails are a dark color. And I suppose the full word is fingernail polish fingernail polish. And this is what women I guess sometimes due to they it comes in these little box And my sisters used to have it when I was growing up.

And I didn't like the smell. I thought it was very strong, especially the fingernail polish remover. Hmm. That's a special chemical to break down or to make it easier to get the fingernail polish off. And it smells terrible. Yes, I really like it.

But either way, this is fingernail polish. And it comes in all sorts of shades and colors. Oh, nice. And for this meeting, this lady chose a dark fingernail polish. It looks like it's almost black. I don't know.

Maybe it's maybe it matches her suit or something or her boots. I don't know. Hmm. All right, let's see. her fingernails are painted a dark color. She is sitting to the left of her partner.

Right in her right hand. She is holding a pen All right, let's take a look. She's sitting to the right or to the left of her partner. So this is her partner. She is to the left of him. Right.

And then we can show the arrow in her right hand she is holding a pen. And it looks like a pretty nice pen probably with the metal casing or a steel. It's not just a cheap plastic pen. All right. All right, repeat after me. Here we go.

The woman is seated across the table from the man with the computer. Sheet she is wearing a white business suit. We can only see her two hands. her fingernails are painted a dark color. She is sitting to the left of her partner In her right hand, she is holding a pen. And I put partner here, there are different possibilities, right?

You could say coworker, colleague, maybe it's her boss, or maybe, maybe he is her employee. Maybe she's the boss. So I don't know. But they have probably some sort of work relationship or business relationship. Uh huh. More apples in the comments.

Wonderful. Okay, let's move forward. lots to talk about. Alright, still talking about the woman in front of her are a variety of documents. All right. So the word variety just means different kinds.

Right? So we'd mentioned them before, like we have the invoice that's on the clipboard. We have maybe a financial document or financial So graph with information with the graph and stuff like that. And then underneath, I don't know, maybe it's a policy handbook or something like that. So she has different kinds of documents, a variety of documents in front of her. There is a clipboard with an invoice and other documents showing financial.

Oh, yeah. So and sales information. Right. She might be a secretary and attorney, a business partner or just a witness, huh? All right. So we have different possibilities for her role as in what does she do here?

What work is she doing? Now she could be a secretary, which is like a support role. She helps this This guy, right? So maybe she takes notes. She makes sure the documents are there something like that. Or maybe she's an attorney, and she has a lot of a legal knowledge and a background where she can talk about the law, and what would happen in court and stuff like that, and maybe contracts.

Maybe she's a business partner. Maybe she's here and she has invested money, and she wants to make sure that they get the best deal possible. All right. Or maybe she's just a witness. Mm hmm. For some contracts.

They require witnesses, they want to have people present to see that you actually are the person who signed it. So it's possible that she could be a witness and a witness. Let's see. Let's look it up. It's always good to use the dictionary. Let me find it.

All right. Let's look up witness. See it? witness. All right. Witness witness.

Okay, a person who sees any event, typically a crime or accident take place. Right? It is very common right to be a witness of a crime. But you can also be a witness to a document signing, right? A person giving sworn testimony testimony to a court of law or the police. You know, here we go, this is what we might have a person who is present at the sign of a document and signs it themselves to confirm this, right?

And they're just kind of making things even more official. All right. Go back. Okay, so let's do pronunciation repeat after me. In front of her are a variety of documents. There is a clipboard with an invoice and other documents showing financial and sales information.

She might be a secretary and attorney, a business partner or just a witness. Okay, and just to make sure that we all understand what a clipboard is, it's right there. I'm going to point to the arrow. But we're also going to take a quick look and see what a picture of a clipboard All right, is there a you know, very useful? All right, a clipboard, right. So they have different colors.

They have different styles. I remember using these in at work. Yeah, so actually, I had a plastic one because sometimes when I was a police officer, we had to be outside in the rain. And the clipboards don't last too long if they get wet and they're not made of like plastic plastic. Okay, so let's go back Alright, so let's move forward. And we're going to talk about one of the other two men.

Let's see. Let's see Gazelle. He says because of the graph in front of her, she could be a financial partner, right? Maybe the financial director, or an accountant or something like that. Sure. I see.

Lomita says attorney Could you repeat and pronounce Alright? So attorney can repeat after me. Attorney. Right. And it's another word for lawyer. Uh huh.

Uh huh. Okay, so here we go. Let's move forward. Sitting to the right of the woman is a man. I think we need a comma. There is a man wearing a dark grey business suit.

All right, and it might as well take a look. Because we could only see his arm. But there's some buttons there. But it's pretty, there's a pretty good chance that it's connected to a suit. And let's take a look at a dark gray business suit. So this would be for men this time, and we'll see what shows up.

There you go. So any one of these How about this one? So he has a dark gray business suit, and we can see the sleeve right in the picture. We can only see this part I guess it says right here hands would be this side. But this would be a dark gray business suit. Okay, we can only see his left hand and part of his right arm.

Alright, he is using his right hand to shake hands with the man sitting across the table Right. Okay, and it looks like it's a good, firm handshake, right? It's not like one of these weak ones where they just grab the finger. They grab the fingertips. It's a good, good firm handshake. All right.

All right, here we go. Repeat after me. Sitting to the right of the woman is a man wearing a dark grey business suit. We can only see his left hand and part of his right arm. He is using his right hand to shake hands with the man sitting across the table. Okay, so they're shaking hands.

We still have more information about this guy. Here we go. And so we're still talking about this guy over here. His left hand is very balled up into a fist and resting directly on top of the table. Hmm. Have you guys heard balled up into a fist?

So your hand is kind of flat, right? Especially if you go that way. But if you go like this and you make a fist, then it's like in the shape of a ball. Let's take a look if we have any pictures that show us balled up into a fist, and we go balled up into a fist. There we go, we have the fist. Right?

Oh, yeah, this is just, if someone says their hands were balled up into a fist into fists and they were ready to fight. It just means their hands were balled up, made into a fist. Alright. Okay, and his face, his hand is resting directly on top of the table, and I put directly on top of the table because the woman's hand is on On top of documents, right, so it's not directly touching the table. However, his fist is directly touching the table and resting on it. So it's not probably pushing against it.

It's just kind of lying there touching the table lightning. All right. Ah, Leah Huda says gather your fingers firmly. Sure, sure. And there's could be different ways to understand that because you could also say, gather your fingers together like this, right? But if it's going like that, it also could be like this putting your fingers together firmly that's making a fist.

Alright Mahmood says I suppose wearing a formal suit is like torture. Just casual clothes are acceptable in my view? Well, I would depends on your environment. before when I used to, used to be a federal investigator as well after I was a police officer. And when we were doing investigations, and we were interviewing witnesses, we were expected to be very formal. Because people have certain expectations of federal investigators.

And if I came in like my swimsuit or in my gym shorts, then people would be like, you know, it's not respectful. This is very serious the investigation you're doing so you need to wear formal clothing. Right? It puts out an energy and a vibe that you really respect what's going on. And you Yeah, you have respect for the other person and you take it seriously, right, I suppose. Okay, so here we go.

In front of this man, there are more documents, a file folder, and a small blue rectangular Notepad. Hmm, let's use our arrow. Do we have more documents right here, here around a file folder. Okay, and a small blue rectangular Notepad. All right, I think it's a notepad that's what I'm gonna stick with. Let's take a look.

We'll put in a blue notepad not Yes, more like this. I'm not quite like that more like, blue post it. post it notes. There we go blue post it notes. Yes, something like this. This is what I'm talking about.

So you can peel them off and you can stick them somewhere when you want to, you know, remind yourself of something or put a note down, right. Okay. And we can describe it as a small blue rectangular notepad in the folder. I remember using a lot of what are called manila folders, manila folders. And there file folders there just the kind of a light brown or kind of dark white ones kind of yellowish that fit inside file cabinets right there a specific size and they fit inside. And so someone might say, Oh, I need to get a new pack of manila folders.

Yeah. So that's how it is. Those are manila folders. And this one is not quite a manila folder. It's similar, but it's probably, I would imagine for going in a filing cabinet. All right, so let's keep going.

Here we go. That on top of the file, folder, and directly under the man's right arm is a mobile phone. Alright, so this is a very specific, very specific location and very specific directions of the placement of the phone, on top of the file folder, and directly under The right the man's right arm is a mobile phone. Right? There's really no way to confuse the location of the phone. All right, repeat after me.

Let's do pronunciation. Here we go. His left hand is balled up into a fist and resting directly on top of the table. In front of this man, there are more documents of file folder and a small blue rectangular Notepad. On top of the file folder, and directly under the man's right arm is the mobile phone. Okay, we're moving forward.

All right. The phones screwed is not turned on. The man's items are spread out in front of him and not organized neatly. Uh huh. So spread out just means like this, right? There's spread out.

So there's a document here, there's a folder there things are around, and it's not organized neatly, right? neatly would be piled very neat together and very organized, tidy, I guess. All right, here we go. This man could be an attorney, and accountant and intern or a partner. All right. So what is an intern?

Well, an intern is a person who comes to work, but they might not be getting paid or maybe they're getting paid a very low salary and base They're there to get experience. Right? So let's see intern to full time higher conversion. So maybe an intern goes there when they're still in college. And they're there to get experience and they probably have to write papers and do research and stuff like that, but they also help and work for the company. Hmm.

That's an intern. And it's usually someone who is learning the business but not necessarily getting paid or getting paid less. Mm hmm. All right. Okay, so repeat after me. The phone screen is not turned on.

The man's items are spread out in front of him and not organized neatly. This man could be an attorney and accountant an intern or a partner. Lia Huda says the last year of college shorts possible, like training. Uh huh. Cuz all he says the bone brand is hidden deliberately to not advertise. Sure.

Right. Maybe they're afraid if it said like Samsung or Apple or something on it, that that company wouldn't want them to show it right? Even the laptop computer. You can't quite tell what there's no logo or brand marking. No. Okay.

Moving forward. Here we go. The man seated. On the far side of the table is wearing a black business suit. We can see the cuffs said good word cuffs of his white dress. Shirt extending out From under the sleeves of his suit coat.

Ooh, that's a nice long sentence. Let's see. Okay, so first we established that this guy on the far side of the table is wearing a black business suit. Okay. We can see the cuffs, the cuffs of his white dress shirt. So we can see the white parts here, the end of his sleeve, right.

Those are called the cuffs and sometimes we have cufflinks. Hmm. Let's take a look. What are cuff links we go so these are cufflinks. They just kind of decorative. They look nice and they keep your shirt together.

I've never been a big fan of cufflinks. I just use the button. But I suppose if it's a really formal occasion, maybe you want to work cufflinks. Alright, so the cuffs is just the part at the end of Your sleeve. Right. Okay.

Let's go back. All right. His right hand and arm are extended as he shakes hands with the man across the table. And Leah said he's wearing a watch. Mm hmm. We'll get to that in a moment.

Sure. That's right. Mahmoud said it's just it's like a badge just for decoration. The cufflinks. Sure. And all of my shirts usually have a button so I just use the button.

Okay, so let's do it. Pronunciation repeat after me. The man seated on the far side of the table is wearing a black business suit. We can see the cuffs of his white dress shirt extending out from under the sleeves. his suit coat his right hand and arm I suppose this was a arm here we go. Repeat after me.

He's right hand in arm or extended as he shakes hands with the man across the table. All right, and First we'll show the arrow so this is one cufflink. And here is another cufflink right. And we can say his arm is extended. It's put out it's put forward because they want to shake hands. Right apples in the comments.

Wonderful. All right, let's move forward on his right wrist. He is wearing and expensive. Watch with With a leather wristband, Uh huh. Okay, so you could just call it the band. You could call it the wristband, but now we're talking about his watch right there.

Okay, so I'm gonna guess it's a nice expensive watch. Why not he has a nice suit on so we would probably want a nice watch. And this part then we put the arrow on it is called the wrist band or the band of the watch. And I can't see it really close, but I'm gonna guess that it's leather, probably made from cow leather. I suppose it could be like an alligator. It's probably made from collar leather as the most common I think.

All right, here we go. The man's left hand is crossed under his right arm and resting on top of his documents In front of him is a clipboard with an unsigned contract and an open laptop computer. So we have the unsigned contract just means unsigned means or no signatures. No one has put their name on it yet. Maybe he's reviewing it, and suddenly he's like, yes, it's good. Let's shake hands and let's do it.

All right. Repeat after me pronunciation. On his right wrist. He is wearing an expensive watch with a leather wristband. The man's left hand is crossed under his right arm and resting on top of his documents. In front of him is clipboard with an unsigned contract and then open laptop computer.

Alright, moving on, whoo about the laptop, the laptop is positioned in a way that the people across the table cannot see the screen. Mm hmm. So the laptop is positioned, it means it's placed the location. It's turned in a certain way so that these people can't see the screen. Maybe it has confidential information, or I don't know maybe his some secret for his product he doesn't want to share. All right, let's see.

Goes all says the man seems to play the crucial role in terms of making Ultimate the ultimate decision due to shaking hands as a sign of a happy ending of a business meeting. Cool. All right, so we can say the laptop is positioned, it's placed, it's put in a certain way so that these people can't see what's on the screen. All right, maybe he wants privacy. Near the man's left hand and on top of the clipboard is an expensive pen. The man might be an attorney, a witness, an investigator, or a salesman.

You have different possibilities. So here we go. We give us very specific location, the directions information for the placement of the pen, near the man's left hand. So here's his left hand and on top of the clipboard, so here's the clipboard, two styles of clipboard, but they have the same function is an expensive pen. All right, and since he has an expensive suit, he has an expensive watch. Why not have an expensive pen, right?

All right, here we go. Repeat after me. Here we go. The laptop is positioned in a way that the people across the table cannot see the screen. Near the man's left hand and on top of the clipboard is inexpensive pen. The man might be an attorney, a witness an investigator or a salesman.

I see mom who says I bet it cost an arm and a leg. Yes, that's a great idiom, just to mean that something is very expensive an arm and a leg. Okay? So we just talked about the people and activities, what's happening what the people are doing their location.
