Crunch time: The English We Speak - YouTube

Feifei: Hello I'm Feifei and this is

The English We Speak.

Rob: And hello, this is Rob. And it's an

important day in the office today, isn't it Feifei?

Feifei: Err, is it?

Rob: Yes, it is! Remember that big project

we've all been working on?

Feifei: Errr. A big project?

Rob: Yes, well it's crunch time.

Feifei: Oh great – I'm starving. I'll get my crisps.

Rob: No, I didn't say 'lunch time'.

Feifei: I know. You said 'crunch time' –

time to start crunching these delicious

crisps. I love crisps.

Rob: No, no – I didn't mean it's time to crunch

crisps. Crunch time is an important or

critical time when a decisive or difficult

decision has to be made. And it's crunch

time for our big project.

Feifei: If you say so, Rob. Why don't I

finish these crisps while we hear some

examples of the expression 'crunch time'?

We've reached crunch time in our

relationship – I'm going to ask my

boyfriend to move in with me. I wonder

what he'll say?

The team are doing well but come crunch

time, will they score that vital goal?

It's crunch time for us tomorrow – that's

when we find out if our building plans

have been approved.

Feifei: This is The English We Speak from

BBC Learning English. We're finding out

about the expression 'crunch time', which

describes an important moment in a

situation where a difficult or

decisive decision has to be made.

But, Rob, I'm still not clear why it's crunch

time for our big office project?

Rob: Come on, Feifei, you know –

the project we've been working on for

months.

Feifei: Oh, you mean the biscuit project?

Rob: Exactly! We have to decide today

which biscuits we're going to buy for our

meetings. And if we don't order them

today, we won't have anything

to eat in tomorrow's meeting.

Feifei: So, Rob, your crunch time is just

about what you'll be crunching tomorrow.

You really need to change your priorities.

I think I've reached 'crunch time' in this

programme.

Rob: What's that? You've got a big

decision to make?

Feifei: Yes - to finish this programme or

finish my crisps?

Rob: Shall we just eat the crisps?

Feifei: OK. Bye.

Rob: Bye. Pass them over then!
