I will give you £100 to save this man's life.

Adverbs of degree

Madame, I would pay £100 just to see him hacked.

Are you telling me this filthy, godless son of a pig knows where to find the City of the Dead?

Ready to dive into another legendary movie?

Today, we're traveling into the heart of Egypt with the Mummy movie as we join Rick, Aveline and Jonathan on an exciting adventure filled with mystery and advanced English expressions.

All of these expressions, which you'll see in the lesson, will be highlighted in blue.

And later in this video, I'll show you how to master all this vocabulary by using our own app.

It significantly improves your learning experience.

Let's explore the lost treasures of ancient Egypt together.

Do you really think he's going to show off?

He may be a cowboy, but I know the breed.

Well, personally, I think he's filthy, rude, a complete scoundrel.

O', Connell, can you look me in the eye and guarantee me that this isn't all some kind of a flim flam?

My whole damn garrison believed in this so much that without orders, they marched halfway across Libya and into Egypt to find that city.

And when we got there, all we found was sand and blood.

In the scene, Evelyn and her brother Jonathan are waiting for Rick, one of the few people still alive who has actually been to the lost city of Hamunaptra, an ancient Egyptian city believed to contain great treasures and forgotten knowledge.

As an aspiring Egyptologist, Evelyn needs this experience and survival skills to get to the place.

By the way, the word aspiring refers to someone who is passionate about a particular field and working toward becoming a professional in it.

For example, since Evelyn is deeply interested in ancient Egypt, but

still gaining experience, we can describe her as an aspiring Egyptologist.

Now let's break down the vocabulary from the clip.

Knowing my luck, to show up means to arrive or appear.

For example, when a band finally shows up on stage, or when your friend shows up late to the party.

Now, when you have no doubt about something, you may say that this will happen.

Coming back to the example I just gave with your friend at the party, you could say he will undoubtedly show up late.

First of all, let me congratulate you on your excellent choice of skill.

Of all the jungle cruises you can take in the Amazon, this one is undoubtedly the cheapest, but

Now listen to the word they use to refer to Rick.

What do you think the word breed means in this context?

I know the breed, profession, animal or type.

Jonathan's talking about Rick, basically saying that he knows people like Rick and how they act.

He then adds, his word is his word, meaning Rick made a promise and he's gonna keep it.

In a more general context, the word breed is used to refer to a specific, specific group within a species of an animal.

Like, for example, the different breeds of dykes.
