  • Welcome to the English we speak with.

  • Me, Jiayin and me, Neil.

  • Are you ok?

  • You look really stressed.

  • Well, I had a crazy lunch.

  • I went to the park to eat my lunch, but then I couldn't find my nuts.

  • Then I saw who stolen them.

  • Was it Rob?

  • No, it wasn't.

  • I looked everywhere and lo and behold, a squirrel had stolen them.

  • What?

  • What did you say?

  • Lower and below?

  • No, Neil, I said lo and behold,

  • which is often used to express surprise at an event or introduce an unexpected part of the story.

  • Ah, that makes sense.

  • Like a strange coincidence.

  • Like the other day, I wanted some biscuits, but lo and behold, guess who'd eaten them all?
