Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases IT MADE MY DAY and I'M NOT MADE OF MONEYIn this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase it made my day. If I say to someone, "It made my day," I'm saying that something made me really happy and something made me smile. Probably a great example would be this. If someone sent me a birthday card, and then later, I was talking to them, and they said, "Did you like the birthday card?" and I could say to them, "It made my day." Basically what I'm saying is the birthday card made me happy. The birthday card made me smile. It made my day. I think when I watch the news, and I see how crazy things are in the world, I always think to myself, it would be so nice if everyone had something each day that made their day for them, and then they could all be happy and say, "It made my day."WANT MORE ENGLISH LESSONS?

This is a phrase that I sometimes say to my children. Do you realize that a lot of the phrases I teach you are actually phrases I use when I'm talking to my children? And when you say, "I'm not made of money," you say this to someone who wants you to buy something for them. Often my children think I'm made of money, and they want me to buy things for them, and 99% of the time, I say no. I don't feel like a bad parent. I actually think when I'm saying no, I think I'm being a good parent. So when you say to someone, "I'm not made of money," basically what you're saying to them is I don't have a lot of money and I can't buy that for you. So sometimes my kids want a new toy, or they want something new, and they'll come to me and ask if I can buy it, and I'll say, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm not buying that for you. I'm not made of money."So to review, if you say to someone, "It made my day," basically you're saying whatever the it is referring to, you're saying that it made you happy, it made you smile, and it made you glad. And when you say to someone, "I'm not made of money," you're basically saying to them that you don't have a lot of money and you're not going to spend money on what they want. You could have this happen when you're out with a friend, and if your friend wants you to pay for their meal, "You could say, "Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm not made of money. Let's each pay for our own meals."But hey, let's look at a comment from another video. This comment is from Roberto. By the way, Roberto leaves lots of really good comments, and I'm happy that I could choose one. Roberto says this. "Drop by in British English would mean pop in or pop over." And my response was this. I gave a lot of example sentences. "Yes, sometimes I pop in to see my mum. Sometimes I pop over to see my mum. Sometimes I stop by to see my mum. Sometimes I dropped by to see my mum. All of those work and mean the same thing."By the way, I could also add, sometimes I stop in to see my mum. That would definitely work as well. So pop in, pop over, stop by, drop by, and stop in all mean almost exactly the same thing. It means to visit someone. Some them have the... Might somewhat mean that it's unannounced. Like when you drop by, it can be unannounced. In English, when we say something is unannounced, it means you didn't tell someone that you were going to do it. But Roberto, thank you so much for leaving that.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/bobthecanadian)
