Question number four, huh? We have idiom and we have a picture. In the picture. I see three young ladies. They're dressed very nice. Their hair is very prepared and very looks very nice.

They have makeup, lipstick and all that stuff. Like they're ready to have a night out on the town and have a party. They all have a drink in their hand. It looks like the same kind of drink. It's some sort of orange liquid. How many guests it's in a bar, so it's probably an alcoholic beverage.

And it looks like they have a mix of emotions. It seems to be maybe the happiest. She's like, Hey, who's looking at me over there? I don't know. Okay, here we go. Make a comment using the idiom and the picture.

Anything you want, just make sure you use the idiom and use the picture for inspiration. Okay, pause the video. I'm going to give you my response in five, four. 321 Okay, here's my comment. These ladies don't have to worry about living beyond their means because their parents are freaking rich. Let's make the idiom bold.

And what do you say? Let's practice our pronunciation repeat out loud after me. These ladies don't have to worry about living beyond their means because their parents are freaking rich. So this is one option for making a comment using the idiom and the picture. Freaking here is an adjective. And it means like really, like incredibly rich.

So these three young ladies, who knows if they have their own income, but they don't have to worry because their parents are freaking rich, their parents are really rich and can pay for their lifestyle. These girls, they don't even think about living, if they should or shouldn't live beyond their means, because they're not worried. We can see in this sentence, the pronoun is there. So I was referring to the ladies in there, there's more than one lady. So the pronoun needs to be plural. They're living beyond their means.

And in this situation, they don't worry about it. I'm going to give you another way to answer as well. Remember, there are millions of ways to make a comment about this picture using this idiom. So here's another one. These women have learned To not live beyond their means, now that they're wealthy, they can afford to have an ostentatious lifestyle. First thing we're going to make idiom bowl that is beyond their means.

And I imagine the first word that jumps out at you in this sentence is ostentatious. First off, lifestyle is your style, your way of living. ostentatious is an adjective which means extravagant, luxurious. You want to attract attention. You want people to look at you, you do it in a flashy way. So just by how they're dressed in the location or add drinking and stuff like that.

Maybe it's possible that they want to be ostentatious. They want to attract attention, they want to show off what they have. And, you know, as long as they can pay for it, why not? that's their choice. And we learned the first sentence. These women have learned to not live beyond their means.

Now they're wealthy and they can afford they have the money to pay for such an ostentatious lifestyle. Repeat after me, and let's practice a pronunciation. These women have learned to not live beyond their means. Now that they're wealthy, they can afford to have an ostentatious lifestyle. All right, and one last time. Let's say this big word.

Repeat after me ostentatious
