  • Hello, everyone, I'm Lee.

  • Welcome to the English We Speak.

  • With me today is Rob.

  • Hello, everyone.

  • Rob, you look worried.

  • What's on your mind?

  • Well, I'm just concerned about a good friend.

  • He's been asking me for advice about saving money.

  • Well, that's very kind of you, but does he have a problem?

  • Well, he's one of those people that just can't save money.

  • Every time he gets paid, he goes out and spends it all.

  • Ah, I have heard of people like that.

  • Yes, that's exactly right.

  • Money does burn a hole in his pocket.

  • Whenever he has money, he has to spend it.

  • That's the phrase for the English we speak today.
