Meaning of BEST CASE SCENARIO and WORST CASE SCENARIO - A Short English Lesson with Subtitles

So in English, a best case scenario

is when you expect the best possible outcome

in a situation.

Let's imagine that you are driving to work

and you are in a traffic jam.

The best case scenario is that you'll probably be

in the traffic jam for an hour,

and you'll probably be about one hour late for work.

So the best case scenario

is what you think is the most positive outcome

you can think of in a situation that you are in.

So the best case scenario if you are in a traffic jam

is you might be a little bit late for work.

Maybe you'll be an hour late for work,

but you will still get to work.

So the best case scenario is that you will get to work.

So a scenario is like an example

or a situation that you are imagining.

So if I imagine I'm in a traffic jam,

the best case scenario is that I will be maybe an hour late

for work.

And we have the opposite, as well.

We have the worst case scenario.

So in this situation, if I was in a traffic jam,

the worst case scenario would be

that the traffic jam lasts for a very, very long time

and I don't make it to work at all that day.

So whenever you look at a possible future situation,

there's usually a best case scenario,

sorry, it's really windy out here today.

That's why I'm standing in the barn.

And there is a worst case scenario.

So usually, we're hoping for the best case scenario

in any situation.

Anyways, Bob the Canadian, here.

It's Friday.

I hope you have a good weekend

and I'll see you on Monday in the next video.
