Meet Jim
Not this one
Yes
this poor fella
He is the captain of a basketball team
As you can see
he had a little accident
While training
he showed his team the right way to jump
and when he landed
he broke his leg
They have a big game tomorrow
and Jim is dying to play
but the doctor says
I’m afraid it’s a no-go!
You can barely stand!
Do you want to end up in a wheelchair
till the rest of your life, man?
So
Jim wanted to play
But the doctor said
it’s a no-go
It means
it’s impossible
It’s totally forbidden
Is that the meaning you chose?
Let me know in the comments down below
Now let’s practice
I want you to answer my questions aloud
it’s very important
you have to answer them aloud
and very quickly
Ok?
Let’s begin
It’s a no-go for Jim
It’s impossible
or it’s forbidden
Because he has a broken leg
Pretty cool phrase, right?
Write in the comments if you liked it
The second word is
It’s an adjective
To be broke
Try to guess what it means
Do you think it’s the same as
As in
my phone is broken
Which of these meanings looks the most 
probable to you?
Choose one
And now let’s watch a cartoon
Mike is a lawyer
I mean
he used to be a lawyer
but not anymore
He used to work for a big company
which paid him a million dollars a year
But at some point
he thought it wasn’t enough
He always dreamed to earn 2 million a year
After arguing with his boss about a raise
he left the company
and started his own law firm
But things didn’t go as well as he hoped
One year after spending
all his savings on marketing
rent
and taxes
he ended up with almost zero profit
He even had to sell his Rolls Royce
to get some extra money
Now he’s spent it all
and barely has any money
to pay his bills
In other words
he is broke
Maybe earning that million
wasn’t so bad after all...
Let’s watch that last part one more time
He has spent all his money
including the money
he got from his Rolls Royce
Now he is broke
Broke means
to be out of money
He is out of money
He has no money left
Did you guess the meaning of broke right?

now let’s watch a cartoon
Sam fell asleep at work
and didn’t see a pipe break
And the results were catastrophic
To clean up the mess
the company had to pay
tens of thousands of dollars
Sam’s boss wasn’t too happy about it
The next day
he came to Sam and said
Sam
I’m not going to sugarcoat what you’ve done
It was absolutely terrible
You are fired!
Yeah
he surely didn’t sugarcoat it
He didn’t try
to make this situation look nicer
If he wanted to sugarcoat it
he would have said
Sam
I understand you were too tired
and you fell asleep
We’ll clean up the mess
and forget about it
But he didn’t sugarcoat it
The situation was horrible
and he showed it
the way it was
Now prepare to practice

He didn’t
He showed Sam

And he fired Sam
