Show 1179 Thursday 25 February
Hi, I’m Sarah, welcome to The Daily English Show.
The video we’re studying today is an advertisement for an American beer called Bud Light.
I think it’s pretty funny.
Two guys are at a party and they go to get the last beer at the same time.
And so one of them says, “OK, now what?”
And the other one suggests that they decide who gets the beer by doing Rock Paper Scissors.
He says: Rock Paper Scissors for it?
So they do it. And one guy throws paper with his hand, like you’re supposed to, but the other guy throws a rock at him.
In the game, paper beats rock, but the guy threw an actual rock, so it knocks the other guy out, and he gets the beer.
STICK NEWS
Kia ora in Stick News today a Dutch speed skater missed out on an Olympic gold medal after his coach gave him the wrong instructions during a race.
Sven Kramer is a 23-year-old long track speed skater.
At this year’s Winter Olympics he won the 5000-metre speed skating race.
He also finished first in for the 10,000-metre event, but was disqualified for skating in the wrong lane.
And that was Stick News for Thursday the 25th of February.
Kia ora .
Hi! What's your name?
Are you stupid?
How do you feel?
Good, of course. Are you stupid?
I'm so sorry Sven...
ARE YOU STUPID?!
CHANGE LANES NOW!
Word of the Day
In Word of the Day today, we’re talking about another beer advertisement.
Today’s word is ingredient .
Is it just me, or does that not add up to 100%?
Anyway, check out this billboard that I saw near my house.
It’s advertising a New Zealand beer and it says:
Ingredients: malt, hops, yeast, water
Of course outgredients isn’t a word, but ad agencies often make up words, and I think this is pretty clever.
It’s advertising the fact that this is beer is supposed to be more pure than other beers and doesn’t contain stuff like preservatives or random chemicals.
