Learn the English Phrases "to deal with" and "a good deal"

In this English lesson, I wanted to help

you learn the English phrase to deal with.

When you need to deal with something, it means

you are going to take care of it.

You are going to take responsibility for

maybe solving something or doing something.

Here are two examples.

Let's say at school there's some students, a teacher

sees some students far away that are misbehaving.

I could say, oh, I'll walk over there.

I will go deal with it.

That means I'm going to go talk to those students

and tell them to stop doing whatever they're doing.

Let's say at work there's a huge pallet

of things that needs to be kind of

put in different parts of the store.

Sorry, I'm trying to think of an example.

You work at a store, there's a big pallet

with things that need to go on the shelves.

You could say to your boss, oh,

I'll deal with that after lunch.

So when you deal with something, it means

you decide you're going to do it.

If I say I'm going to deal with it,

it means I'm going to take care of it.

The second thing I wanted to teach

you today is the term a good deal.

Now, this has two meanings. I could say this.

I bought a car the other day for $500.

It was a good deal.

That means that I paid less

than what the car was worth.

I benefited in the transaction.

You can also use this to mean a lot.

I could say we've had a good deal of rain this year.

That means that it's rained probably

more than it normally does.

So to review, to deal with something means to

take care of something or to do something.

And a good deal would be anytime you pay

less money than you think you would have to.

When you buy a bouquet from Jen,

I think it's a good deal.

I think she should charge more and we

can use it to say a lot.

If you buy a bouquet from Jen, you get

a good deal of flowers in the bouquet.

But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video.

I put it in one of these pockets.

I should just get shorts

with one pocket, shouldn't that?

This one has 1 2 3 4.

I should get a one with a few less.

This is from Ruslan.

Thanks for a great lesson, teacher Bob.

The flower fields are beautiful and the whole landscape really

looks like the Shire from Lord of the Rings.

And my response, no hobbits here, though,

at least none that I've seen.

And I think I've actually made that comment before.

I think Ruslan or someone else has mentioned that

this area looks a little bit like the Shire.

There was another comment as well, by the way.

Thanks, Ruslan, for that comment.

There was another comment as well, saying people

would like to see more of the flower

fields in the next few videos.

So here are the dahlia beds.

They're not quite blooming yet.

They'll be blooming soon.

A lot of our flower beds look like

this because when you grow flowers, you harvest

the flowers and then you sell them.

Over here, you can see the

Lisianthus are starting to bloom, though.

I'll get you a nice shot of these.

I don't know if you're familiar with this flower.

I usually show them every year.

They look a little bit like a rose.

And they are starting to bloom nicely as well.

You can see a few pink ones down there.

And these front ones here are a

little bit more like an antique look.

But yes, things have been growing well.

We have had a good deal of rain.

It's been nice.

Here we have some sunflowers.

Let's have a look at these as well.

Bit of a garden tour.

These are sunflowers that haven't bloomed yet.

Although if we go far enough along,

you will see one bloom right here.

There you go, one bloom.

This is more of like a lemon colored sunflower.

And then you can see as we go along, these are tall.

These are a little bit shorter.

And then you have all the stages here freshly

planted, about two weeks old, about four weeks old.

And then down here, probably closer to five weeks old.

Anyways, things are growing, things are doing well.

Jen and I are having a nice

year here on the flower farm.

I hope you're having a nice

year, too, whatever you are doing. Thanks for watching.

I'll see you in a few

more days with another English lesson. Bye.
