come from my ebook 100 english expressions you can get your copy by going to www.studywithtiffany.com or by hitting the link in the description now are you ready to learn these five important english expressions well then i'm teacher tiffany let's jump right in all right so our first expression is for the record for the record now this is a very important expression so i want to make sure your pronunciation is correct so after me for the record excellent last time after me for the record good job now for the record is just used when you want to say something publicly and as a fact basically you want everyone to know hey this is my thought this is my opinion this is my position this is the truth and i want everyone to know in english we say for the record so let me show you an example sentence using this expression for example i am willing to say for the record that it has enormous value one more time watch how i use it i am willing to say for the record that it has enormous value now i can actually take it out of the sentence and the sentence will still make sense watch i am willing to say that it has enormous value makes sense but remember for the record is used to state something publicly as a fact to let everyone know hey this is my position and you don't have to doubt it i am willing to say for the record so that everyone knows that it has enormous value makes sense right all right let's look at the second example sentence just for the record perhaps you'd like to tell me what you're doing monday remember we can take it out and the sentence or question will still make sense perhaps you'd like to tell me what you're doing monday add it at the beginning listen just for the record just so that we're all clear perhaps you'd like to tell me what you're doing monday just for the record and last what about this one for the record it was she who approached me about such a deal not the other way around again making sure that everyone listening knows hey this is my position my opinion and i'm stating it as a fact you don't have to doubt it for the record for the record it was she who approached me about such a deal not the other way around i want you to know that hey it wasn't me it was her that's a fact for the record makes sense this is a very useful english expression for the record now the second one is also just as useful the second english expression is for as long as i can remember for as long as i can remember so after me for as long as i can remember excellent now this expression just means to remember most or all of one's life my memory about this person this event this topic it really spans my entire life the only thing i can remember is this for as long as i can remember so first example sentence here we go her family has lived in new york for as long as i can remember i don't remember her living anywhere else i don't remember there being a time that she was not living in new york in english we say for as long as i can remember so for as long as i can remember my niece has loved black beans that's true for as long as i can remember her entire life she's always liked black beans so in english we say again for as long as i can remember now what about this example sentence for as long as i could remember they've been together for as long as i could remember they've been together i don't remember a time when they weren't together for as long as i could remember now what about this last example sentence they moved and have lived on the other side of the world for as long as i can remember now you know that i lived in south korea for about 10 years that's a long period of time so long that many people said wow for as long as i can remember tiff has been in south korea when i was living in south korea because they couldn't remember a time that i was not in korea so the same is happening here they moved and have lived on the other side of the world for as long as i can remember makes sense right very simple but very useful english expression now i want us to look at the third english expression to lose sleep over maybe you're wondering tiffany teacher what does this mean why are you losing sleep well to lose sleep over just means to worry or stress about something that one can't sleep you're worried or stressed about something so much that you cannot sleep now let's imagine you're about to get married right you're getting married tomorrow and you're excited but you can't go to sleep you're losing sleep over whether you'll remember your vows will you remember to bring the ring so many things are on your mind that you're not able to sleep you're worried about your wedding day you're losing sleep over it now here's the first example sentence for this one i lost sleep over the fact that i did not get the job i wanted think about it you went to a job interview and they asked you a question in english but you you suddenly got a little nervous and you weren't able to answer it the way you wanted to then you went home you got in your bed but you couldn't fall asleep because you were worried about what happened you lost sleep over the fact that you couldn't answer the english question but i know after studying my lessons you'll be able to do it i believe in you all right so sentence number two the ending of our relationship has got me losing sleep over her so this individual he he broke up with his girlfriend and he's losing sleep over the fact that oh my goodness we're not together anymore he's losing sleep over the end of his relationship worrying about what she's thinking about him alright so what about this one right here number three i'm losing sleep over sending my son off to college my son my baby boy he's going to leave us and go to college by himself i'm worried i'm concerned i'm losing sleep over sending my son off to college makes sense maybe you've lost sleep over a test that you have to take something that causes you to worry and inhibits you or stops you from getting sleep alright so again we have to lose sleep over all right now what about this next one number four oh come on one more time after me oh come on excellent now this is an expression that you'll hear very often in television dramas in netflix programs or in movies we say this a lot come on now it just we use this to tell someone that we don't believe what they're saying or we don't take them seriously really you ran 35 miles this morning come on again we don't believe that they were able to run 35 miles in the morning before work come on showing that we don't believe them or take them seriously so let's check out this first example sentence here we go oh come on you can't be serious about this situation again at the beginning we're saying oh come on showing them i don't believe you i don't believe you i don't take you seriously you can't be serious about this situation what about this example oh come on you're telling me you grew back a limb come on now again unbelievable we don't take you seriously we say in english oh come on makes sense right okay now this last example sentence here we go oh come on you did not build this entire city by yourself we don't believe that look at my facial expression i look like come on now i don't believe what you're saying in english the expression is oh come on i want you to start using it more often all right now the fifth expression again this is a great one i'm just kidding i'm just kidding now this expression one more time after me i'm just kidding good now this is used to soften a serious situation or insult by saying it was a joke hey hey hey i'm just kidding i wasn't serious it was a joke i'm just kidding now look at some example sentences here we go sorry to scare you like that i'm just kidding like i'm not serious i'm just kidding it's a joke sorry to scare you like that i'm just kidding next one i'm just kidding i didn't actually mean what i said earlier i'm just kidding and last one don't take what i say or do so seriously i'm just kidding i'm just joking i'm not being serious i'm just kidding this is a very very useful expression in english now these five

expressions i taught you today these five expressions you must know come from my ebook 100 english expressions you can get your copy by hitting the link in the description or going to www.studywithtiffany.com they will help you sound more like a native english speaker alright i will see you next time but as always remember to speak english you still there ha ha you know what time it is come on sing it with me it's story time hey i said it's story time all right so today's story is one that is close to my heart because it was a very emotional time for me now you know i lived in south korea as an english teacher i stayed there for 10 years now during that time i had the opportunity to study in university to study and get my graduate degree i got a master's degree in oriental painting now i'm american english is my first language and korean is my second and korean is a very difficult language beautiful but difficult and when i got toward the end of my graduate program there was an exam that i had to take the exam was completely in korean and also included some chinese characters here's the thing even studying in a graduate program in america is difficult so the fact that i had to do it all in korean was extremely difficult i remember the day that i had to take the exam walked in and there were so many students in there all of us nervous because we wanted to pass this exam and graduate well i didn't pass the exam the first time so i went a second time six months later and i failed again two times i failed i was sad i was frustrated i didn't know what to do so i actually made the decision to come back to america for six months for six months every day of the week i studied for about 12 hours for this test because i did not want to fail again i failed twice and now i was preparing to take it a third time now when i flew back to korea after the six month period i remember the day i walked into the test room again for the third time my heart was racing because i did not want to fail i was given the test and it was placed in front of me and i put my name on it and they said you may begin and all of us took out our pens and pencils and started to write on the test the only problem was i did not understand the question and i started to sweat lord i cannot fail this test and i sat there for about a 10 minute period because i did not know what the question was asking i thought about the six months that i had studied 12 hours a day during the week and yet and still i felt like i was gonna fail a third time but then all of a sudden i prayed and and god helped me to realize what the question was asking and i started writing really really fast and i finished the test now the results for the test weren't going to come out until maybe a month or two later so for about a month or two i was working at an institute teaching english but in the back of my head i was worried about this test i said lord i i studied so hard i want to pass the test and then the day came for the results to come out i was so nervous i was losing sleep over whether or not i passed the test because it was hard and i wasn't sure if i had studied enough then i got the results i opened it up and it said tiffany claiborne pass i said it in korean but when i say i was overjoyed i cried tears of joy because i had put so much effort into studying for this exam three times but the third time i was able to pass now i wanted to encourage you with this story because sometimes you have to do things whether it be for your job or for english tests and sometimes you are worried just like i was worried you lose sleep over if you're going to pass if you did well enough and it's really concerning it's really frustrating i've experienced the same thing so if you've failed once failed twice don't give up keep moving forward i kept going and i was so happy that in the end i passed it doesn't matter how many times you've taken a test if you've failed multiple times what's more important is getting up and trying again so i hope my experience encouraged you you may lose sleep over these situations but it's more important for you to just get up and keep trying all right i love you all i hope again that you enjoyed today's lesson don't forget to get your copy of 100 english expressions the link is in the description or you can go to
