This is the second of a two-part Business English Pod series on idioms related to money. Many of our day-to-day business transactions involve money, so it’s common to hear money idioms used frequently in business discussions. We use them to talk about handling money and to describe situations with lots of money or no money at all. But we also use them to talk about situations that have nothing to do with money such as evaluating ideas or speculating on their impact. In the last episode, we met Kevin and Leah, two employees at a cosmetics company. They’re planning a promotional campaign on a small budget. So they’re brainstorming ideas that will spark customer interest at a reasonable cost. Now, they’re thinking of ways to show that their company’s cosmetics line is good value for money-conscious consumers. Listening Questions: 1. What idea does Kevin suggest at the beginning of the dialog? 2. What are two things the company will have to do if it accepts Kevin’s idea? 3. What are Leah’s concerns about the idea?
