Easy English Expression.
Rehashed!
Hello everybody, my name is Coach Shane and welcome to Easy English Expressions.
Come on, let's master English.
Hello, everybody.
Coach Shane here.
How is your December going?
Can you believe the end of the year is nigh?
Yeah, it's amazing.
2026 is coming.
I hope that the end of your year is great and the beginning of your new year is outstanding too.
EQ number 302.
Let's go back in time.
Today's expression is very good.
To give someone a boost.
Give him a boost.
Give me a boost.
I wish somebody would give me a boost.
What does it mean to give somebody a boost?
B-O-O-S-T.
Well, to boost something actually means to lift something. something.
Okay, so for a rocket going to space, there's something called a booster rocket and that helps it lift the rocket into space.
When a young child goes to a restaurant, sometimes the parents ask for a booster chair.
That's a chair, a little chair that you put in a big chair so that the child can sit at the table and eat with mom and dad.
A booster chair.
So if you want to lift someone's feelings or spirits, that means you want to make them happy.
So to give someone a boost means to make someone happy. to encourage them, to make them feel good.
If you see somebody who's sad or who's depressed or who's very stressed, maybe you should give that person a boost.
Make him or her feel good.
It's a good idea.
Check out the dialogue.
What are you reading?
Tony Robbins.
The self-help guy?
Yeah.
Reading his stuff always gives me a boost.
Yeah, it's true.
It's true.
Have you heard of Tony Robbins?
Anthony Robbins.
T-O-N-Y Robbins.
R-O-B-B-I-N-S.
Oh, he's got some good books.
Unlimited Power.
Awaken the Giant Within.
He has a new book.
I think it's called Money.
I have all his books and they're great.
They're really great books.
Actually, this Perf assignment, Perf is my speaking class.
We're actually doing something that was written by Tony Robbins.
So Tony Robbins is a very famous speaker in America, motivational speaker.
If people listen to his speeches, almost everybody feels good.
They feel that extra energy.
They feel encouraged.
They feel positive.
They feel as though they can achieve something.
Yeah, Tony Robbins is a great guy.
I'm a big fan of his.
Actually, he calls himself a coach.
And because of him, I call myself a coach.
He called himself a coach way back in the 1980s and starting in 1993.
I started calling myself a coach because I'm helping you with English.
But all I'm really doing is bringing the power of you to your studies.
And that's what I'm trying to do.
You study the words.
You study the vocabulary, the grammar.
You did all the studying.
Now you just need encouragement.
You need that extra boost, right? to really get you speaking, listening, and using English.
That's what I'm here for.
I'm kind of like your English Tony Robbins.
I hope people think that way.
Anyway, who around you can you give a boost to?
Could you give your mom a boost?
By saying something nice?
By helping her out?
By encouraging her?
Maybe your dad?
Could you give him a boost?
Your husband?
Your wife?
Your brother?
Your sister?
Your co-worker?
Your boss?
Somebody who's feeling depressed?
Somebody who's very stressed?
Somebody who thinks they are failing?
Maybe you can give that person a boost.
Go do it today.
Go say something nice.
Maybe to a stranger.
Just say something nice.
Give that person a boost.
