  • Hello, and welcome to the English We Speak.

  • I'm Jiayin.

  • And I'm Neil.

  • Hi, Jiayin.

  • Have you seen any biscuits around here?

  • I'm really hungry.

  • No, sorry.

  • There aren't any biscuits here.

  • Maybe you should try looking in the kitchen rather than in the meeting room.

  • Well, I'm only looking in here because Rob promised to leave some biscuits on the table.

  • Yeah, right.

  • That'll be the day.

  • Oh, have I got the wrong day.

  • Did he say he would leave the biscuits on another day?

  • I didn't miss them, did I?

  • No, Neil, calm down.

  • I said that'll be the day.

  • We use this expression to say that we don't think something will happen.
