Hi, I'm Rebecca from www.engvid.com . Good to see you again!

現在進行形

In today's lesson, we're going to learn ten business expressions, and these are quite

advanced expressions, and they will help you in two different ways.

First, they'll help you to understand more of what people are saying around you because

they are advanced expressions, and second, if you learn them and start to use them, you

will sound a lot more advanced in your English, okay?

And definitely, these are expression that, once you start to use them, people will notice.

So, what's interesting about all of these expressions?

They all happen to be about, like, three words, "a something something".

So, they are basically a, an adjective, and then a noun.

So, what's interesting here is that you probably already know the noun, okay?

So, if I say "option" or "discussion" or "opportunity" or "issue", you probably know what those words

But, what happens is that, in these business expressions or collocations, as they're called,

there's an adjective, which is a little bit more advanced, and that makes it a little

bit more challenging and maybe it leaves you a little bit unsure about what the actual

But, if somebody uses the expression, then you really need to know that, because that

adjective is critical to understanding it, okay?

So, let's go through them one by one and then you will know them.

Like, something you can do - you can do this, you can do that, okay?

It's a viable option, means it's a possibility.

For example, let's say you have to get downtown so you could take public transportation, you

could take a taxi, you could drive, these are all viable options.

So, you know, especially if you're in business, what a discussion is, when two people are

speaking and discussing an idea or a possibility.

So, here, the adjective is a "fruitful" discussion.

Fruitful does mean, like, full of fruit, but fruit here has a different meaning.

Fruitful discussion is a useful discussion.

A discussion that had a good result, a good option, a good outcome, okay?

So, it was fruitful, it was a very useful discussion, it was a good discussion, it was

So, that's the meaning of "a fruitful discussion".

Now, you will see that, here, I have a smiley face, so why's that?

Because the first three expressions are all kind of on the positive side, okay?

The next three are neutral, and the last four are a little bit on the negative side.

An opportunity by itself is a positive thing, but if something is a golden opportunity,

For example, let's suppose there's a bright student and then he or she gets a scholarship,

a fully paid scholarship to go and study at a very well-known university.

So now, say them after me, because you want to be able to also say them and use them comfortably,

and we will be using them in sentences in the next board, but let's also master the

pronunciation, so repeat after me: a viable option, a fruitful discussion, a golden opportunity.

Now, are you just going to be saying that phrase?

For example, "That's a viable option.", "That's a fruitful discussion.", or "That was a fruitful

discussion.", "That's a golden opportunity.", okay?

So, you could use it in many ways, but that's a really simple way.

Next, now these next three are kind of neutral.

They're not good or bad, they're just sort of factual.

So, we have here: "a tentative appointment".

Appointment you know, because you make appointments all the time, but if you say, "We have a tentative

appointment to meet on Monday at 3:00.", so tentative means not certain.

It's kind of just for now, that's what we've said but it might change, it's not confirmed,

Say it after me: a tentative appointment.

Next, this is quite advanced actually, this next one: "a foregone conclusion".

A foregone conclusion means a conclusion that everybody kind of already knows what that's

For example, let's suppose there are some elections going on and everybody knows already

And then the election happens and that party wins.

It was a foregone conclusion that that party was going to win the elections.
