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, Constance here.
It's time for another E-Cubed podcast.
Here's number 267, save it for a rainy day, enjoy.
Let's go back in time.
I did have a plan.
I was going to go to the store with my mom and buy a couple of things.
But I guess I'll save my money.
And it's perfect because today's expression is save it for a rainy day.
And that's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to save my shopping trip for a rainy day.
Save it for a rainy day.
This is a great expression and it means save that thing you want to do.
Maybe watch a movie, maybe eat some cookies or some special ice cream, or maybe I don't know play a video game.
Save it for a rainy day.
Now, usually when we use this expression, it means money.
So if you get some birthday money, oh it's your birthday and your grandmother or your husband or your I don't know dad gives you 50 or 100.
Oh boy, you want to spend it.
But in this situation in America, we might say, save it for a rainy day.
Save that money.
Save that special thing for a rainy day.
Why?
Why should we save it for a rainy day?
Well, not me, but many people, they get depressed on a rainy day.
If they look outside and it's raining, they say, oh, I can't go outside.
I can't do anything.
I wish I could do something.
Well, if you have some money saved up or if you have something special, you can do it inside on a rainy day and you'll be happy.
That's the idea for the expression.
Let's check out the dialogue.
Where are you going?
Shopping.
You don't need anything.
Hello.
Spring is coming.
I need shoes.
Oh, save your money for a rainy day.
Oh, rain boots.
Thanks.
Ah, yeah.
You can hear my voice.
Just not strong.
My throat hurts.
I need a female voice.
Anyway, that's the idea.
This man and his wife, where are you going to his wife?
She's going shopping, but she doesn't need anything.
She has everything.
But his wife says, you know, spring, the season spring is coming.
I need shoes.
It seems like Many women always need shoes.
Well, the guy says, save your money for a rainy day.
Don't waste your money today.
Save it for a rainy day, when you need it, when you're bored, when you're sad, when you're depressed, when it's raining.
And the woman says, oh, rain boots.
She wants to buy rain boots.
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
What about you?
Right now, are you depressed? saving anything for a rainy day?
Are you saving some money for a rainy day?
You have the money.
You can spend it, but you're saving it for a rainy day.
Yeah?
Tell us.
Let us know.
That's it.
