Question number four. I see a picture and I see the idiom get your hands dirty. In the picture I see for six people. And it looks like a lady in the middle has your hands up and she's talking and looks like the other people are listening to her. Make a comment using the idiom and the picture, whatever you want. The only thing is that you need to use the idiom and the picture.

So take some time, write it down or come come up with it in your head. And then in just a moment, I will show you my answer. Okay, last chance to pause the video. I'm going to talk about my answer in 54321. Okay, so make a comment could be a couple of sentence time. couple of sentences talking about the picture.

And idiom. All right, here we go. So let's say we're inside this lady's head. So she's thinking, and this is what she's thinking. Mary is kind of a jerk. She tells everyone what to do and how to do it.

But we all know she'll never get her hands dirty. She sucks. Okay, so Mary, would be this lady here. Well assume she's the boss or the manager and someone that's in charge. Okay. And this lady over here is thinking she's listening, but she's thinking other thoughts.

So Mary's kind of a jerk. You know what? Repeat out loud great. Time to practice our pronunciation. Repeat after me, Mary is kind of a jerk. She tells everyone what to do and how to do it.

But we all know she never gets her hands dirty. She sucks. Okay, so that is one way that we could make a comment using the idiom and the picture. I'm going to give you another way. I'm sure you guys came up with one and leave a comment down below so I can see what your answer was. I'm going to give you another possibility because there are lots of possibilities and ways to answer this question.

So making a comment using the idiom in the picture we could also do Oh, this time, this time Mary is talking. So her Her. Now she's This is what she's saying to everyone. I've decided to get my hands dirty. I will no longer be an on in volved manager. Let's get our hands dirty.

Wait, let me get some gloves first. Okay, so maybe Mary realized that you know she's not the greatest boss and she says, I've decided to get my hands dirty. I will no longer be an uninvolved manager. Let's get our hands dirty. Wait, let me get some gloves first. Let's make the idioms bold so we can see them and they jump out k. Whoo.

Okay, so repeat after me. I've decided to get my hands dirty. I will no longer be an uninvolved manager. Let's get her hands dirty. Wait, let me get some gloves first. So how is your pronunciation is you repeat after me?

I hope so. Okay, so let's talk about the sentence a little bit. Get your hands dirty means to get involved, do things and help out. So on involved is the opposite of involved. So an uninvolved manager is someone who probably sits in their office doesn't know interact with the employees. They may do their job duties, but they don't have a great relationship with the employees, because they're not willing to help out.

So Mary's thinking I'm going to be an involved manager, because I'm going to get my hands dirty. However, Mary's a little bit strange. And the employees might be kind of puzzled or confused about what she's really going to do. Because she's like, Let's get her hands dirty. But then she's like, Wait, let me get some gloves first. So if I was an employee, I was one of these people around here listening to Mary.

I would be like, Oh, well, she's talking about doing something. But then she's like, she wants to use gloves first. So maybe she doesn't really want to help out that much. She wants to make it look like she's going to help out and get us to like her more. But when she pauses to want to use gloves, then maybe she's not really going to help out very much
