We Speak with me, Feifei...

2320
00:05
And me, Roy. Have you seen Rob's
2

3360
00:08
new video on social media?
3

2000
00:10
Yes, it's amazing! He has charm
4
10960
3600
00:14
and style - he just has...
5
14560
2400
00:18
Ooof!!!
6
18280
1000
00:19
Yes! Oomph! Rob has oomph and
7
19280
3440
00:22
charm - not as much as me of course,
8
22720
2640
00:25
but he has some! Wow, Roy! For once you
9
25360
3680
00:29
actually got the correct word! Oomph!
10
29040
3200
00:32
I didn't say oomph - I said ooof!
11
32240
4240
00:37
I was complaining because I hurt my
12
37280
1920
00:39
back earlier putting your cases in your
13
39200
2320
00:41
car for you to go on your workcation.
14
41520
2800
00:44
Well, one can never be too prepared
15
44320
2160
00:46
when going to the beach. Besides, I need
16
46480
2880
00:49
lots of different outfits for when
17
49360
2080
00:51
I take pictures. My photos have to have real...
18
51440
4000
00:56
Oomph - yes, I get it. Your photos need to have
19
56080
4480
01:00
energy and be exciting.
20
60560
1840
01:03
Exactly! Well, let's talk more about
21
63360
3040
01:06
my oomph right after these examples.
22
66400

01:11
The business owner showed real oomph
23
71680
2000
01:13
in her presentation when she was
24
73680
1520
01:15
pitching the idea.
25
75200

01:17
I really like the way Eric speaks - he has
26
77760
2640
01:20
real energy and oomph.
27
80400
1360
01:23
The dancer showed real oomph in his
28
83360
1840
01:25
performance - an energy I haven't
29
85200
1680
01:26
seen in a long time!

You're listening to The English We
31
90400
1920
01:32
Speak from BBC Learning English,
32
92320
2320
01:34
and we re talking about the word 'oomph'.
33
94640
3200
01:37
If someone or something has 'oomph',
34
97840
2640
01:40
they have real energy and excitement.
35
100480
2640
01:44
Some people argue that it is important
36
104240
2000
01:46
to have real oomph when making
37
106240
2320
01:48
presentations. I'm really good at
38
108560
2240
01:50
talking to a room full of people,
39
110800
1920
01:52
which means I must have real oomph!
40
112720
2640
01:56
You're clearly mistaken! I am the one
41
116720
3600
02:00
with the oomph! I could sell
42
120320
2080
02:02
anything to anyone.
43
122400
1280
02:05
Well, if I bought what you were selling,
44
125360
2800
02:08
I could resell it for double the price - that's
45
128160
3360
02:11
how much oomph I've got!
46
131520
1440
02:13
No, Roy. You don't have oomph.
47
133600
2480
02:16
You have a puppy-like charm. It's OK
48
136080
2880
02:18
to be envious of my oomph!
49
138960
3040
02:22
Puppy-like?! I don't chew slippers or
50
142000
3360
02:25
chase sticks! I have oomph! Energy!
51
145360
3600
02:28
Excitement! People have told me that!
52
148960
3520
02:32
And who said that?
53
152480
1360
02:34
Rob. But ironically, he said it when
54
154800
3120
02:37
he hurt his back helping me with your cases.
55
157920
2640
02:41
Well, I think we all know what he really said!
56
161120
2880
02:44
Bye, Roy.
57
164640
720
02:46
Bye.
