  • And hello, I'm Neil.

  • Neil, I wonder if you could help me.

  • I'm trying to find something on this map.

  • Oh, yes, map reading.

  • I'm good at that.

  • What are you trying to find?

  • Well, I went to a gig last night and saw this new singer.

  • He was amazing.

  • Thanks for inviting me.

  • Anyway, what's that got to do with a map?

  • Well, afterwards everyone was talking about it and saying the gig was so good that it will put him on the map,

  • but I just can't find him on here.

  • Put the map away, Fei Fei.

  • You won't find him there.

  • When we say someone will be put on the map, it means they'll become famous or become more prominent.

  • But not on a map.

  • Right.
