  • Hello, and welcome to the English We Speak.

  • I'm Fay Fei, and with me today is Rob.

  • Rob, what are you doing?

  • This is one, two.

  • Oh, hi.

  • I'm just counting up all my money, actually.

  • Fei Fei, could I borrow A hundred pounds, please?

  • £100?

  • That's a lot of money.

  • What do you need it for?

  • Well, with all my savings plus your £100, I'll just have enough.

  • For what?

  • To invest in this new company my friend is setting up.

  • He's invented this machine where you can talk to people anywhere in the world and there are no wires or cables.

  • It's going to be a huge success.

  • Rob, that sounds to me like a mobile phone that's already been invented.

  • Yeah, but you can also type messages on it and send them to other people.

  • Absolutely amazing.

  • If this is successful, my investment is going to make me millions of pounds.
