Keep on rocking! Email from Antonio from Badajoz Hi Reza and Craig! It's Antonio again with another question for you. Watching movies in original version, I've realised that a lot of times, I can hear the expression "How would you like...?" followed, for example, by either "a punch in the nose", or "being left by a woman that way" or something like that. I gather it's some kind of complaint or threat, but, since I can't entirely get my head round it. I'd love you guys to shed light on that if you please. Thanks in advance! hugs from Badajoz! 1. For offering someone something that you think they will enjoy. How would you like a glass of wine? How would you like a free T-shirt? 2. For telling someone to consider how they would feel if something bad happened to them, especially if it has already happened to you. How would you like a punch on the nose? (threat) How would you like someone stealing your mobile phone? How would you like it if I spilled beer on your trousers and didn't even apologise? How would you like being left by a woman in that way? Comment on the blog about the farming episode 155 from Nayabet who’s on a farm in New Zealand ( http://www.inglespodcast.com/2017/05/14/farming-and-agriculture-airc155/ ) Thank you so much guys for this podcast, it will be really useful for me, in fact, I work on a dairy farm here in NZ and I’m a bit familiar with this (these) words but not with all of them. So thank you once more.
