Hello and welcome to the English We Speak.
I'm Jiayin.
And I'm Rob.
We're going to look at an idiom that's about the possibility of winning.
It's be in with a shout.
Be in with a shout.
Shout.
So this is about being loud and making a noise.
Well, actually, it's not jai ing.
To be in with a shout means to have a good chance of winning something or succeeding in something.
And there's no need to shout if you want to win.
Right.
So this informal British idiom is about having the possibility of winning or succeeding.
So my favourite football team is currently in second place.
They are in with a shout of winning the league if they score a.
Few more goals, but only if there is a realistic chance or probability that they will do it.
And this idiom is not just used for sport.
It's for any situation in which winning something is a possibility.
Okay, so for example, I'm in with a shout of getting a promotion at work if the interview goes well.
Well, good luck with that.
