Drag, high price of mom's help is drag on family business.
2
Dear Abby, 20 years ago my sister and I bought a business from our mother.
3
We all love and respect one another and get along well.
4
We will be finished paying off the business in two years.
5
Our problem.
6
Mom, who is now 77,
7
still draws a salary from us above and beyond the payment for the business.
8
Yes, her workload has lessened greatly, as it should.
9
She could do all of her work in one day and lessen the burden of her salary.
10
However, she says she'd go crazy if she retired.
11
We don't want that.
12
She could still come in as often as she wants and do her personal paperwork,
13
banking, letter writing, reading, etc. These are all things she does at work on the clock.
14
If we try to discuss this, mom gets hurt and says,
15
just let me know when I'm not worth the money.
16
We don't want to do that.
17
We would hope she would see the fairness of this and suggest it herself.
18
Business expenses are going through the roof and there are updates we should make.
19
But we can't do it as long as we are paying mom at the level we are.
20
On top of the money for the buyout.
21
Signed, Daughter's Dearest.
22
Welcome to the vocabulary lesson for drag.
23
Drag.
24
Drag is the name of this lesson set.
25
Let's begin the vocabulary.
26
First, the title.
27
High price of mom's help is drag on family business.
28
Okay, high price, right?
29
It means cost a lot.
30
And the mom is helping the family business, but it's her help, her cost,
31
meaning her salary, meaning the money they pay mom, is a drag on the business.
32
Okay, to be a drag, a drag on something, or sometimes just a drag.
33
A drag means you hurt something
34
or you slow something or you cause a problem for something. For example,
35
mom is a drag on the business means mom is causing a problem for the business.
36
She's slowing the business.
37
She's causing a problem for the business.
38
So a drag.
39
Sometimes we use a drag when we talk about personality, somebody, describe someone.
40
If you say, he is such a drag, or he is a drag,
41
in that situation, it means not fun, not fun.
42
He is a drag means he is not fun.
43
But here in this story, drag means she is causing problems for the business.
44
She's pulling the business down.
45
Okay, let's start the letter.
46
It says, Dear Abby.
47
Twenty years ago, my sister and I bought a business from our mother.
48
Okay, so the mom had the business.
49
It was the mom's business.
50
Later she sold the business to her daughters.
51
So now the daughters own the business the mom is not the owner now she was in the past now the sisters,
52
the daughters own the business and they love their mom
53
or their mom loves them they say
54
we will be finished paying off the business in two years to pay off means to finish paying.
55
So we use pay off when you must pay for something over time.
56
Maybe every month you pay some money.
57
For example, if I buy a car, every month maybe I pay $200.
58
And in, I don't know, 20 years, I will pay off the car.
59
Means I paid everything.
60
I paid all of the cost.
61
So, in two years, they will pay off the business.
62
It means they bought the business from their mom,
63
but they are still paying her money for the business.
64
In two more years, they will finish paying her.
65
They will totally own the business.
66
Okay.
67
One problem, or our problem.
68
Mom, who is 77, so the mom is 77 years old, she still draws a salary.
69
Draws a salary now here the word draw means takes
70
or to take right you know the meaning of draw like you're drawing with a pencil
71
but here the meaning is different here it means take she still takes a salary.
72
She takes a salary.
73
She gets a salary.
74
She draws a salary.
75
We use the word draw sometimes with money, with a salary.
76
Salary means your payment every month from your job, your paycheck check every month from your job.
77
So she draws a salary.
78
So the sisters still pay her.
79
They pay her to buy the business.
80
They also pay her a salary like an employee,
81
maybe $10 per hour so they pay the mom for doing work
82
and they are paying her to buy the business
83
so they're paying her two different things
84
and they say she draws a salary above
85
and beyond the payment for the business above
86
and beyond means more than or also
87
or in addition to
88
or plus right she draws a salary plus the payment from the business
89
so she has the payment and also right in addition she has a salary
90
so above and beyond means
91
that plus more okay her workload has lessened greatly
92
workload her workload has lessened lessened means getting smaller getting smaller, getting smaller.
93
So her workload is getting smaller.
94
Workload means how much work you do.
95
It's your jobs at work.
96
If you have a heavy workload,
97
then you are very busy at work you have a lot to do
98
If you have a light workload, then you are not busy.
99
It's an easy job, workload.
100
So now the mom has a light workload.
101
She's old.
102
She doesn't do very much, but they're still paying her every hour she comes to the business.
103
Okay, so they say, in fact, her workload is so light,
104
so small, so light, She could do all of her work in one day.
105
So she has very little work at the business now.
106
And if she did everything in one day, it would lessen the burden of her salary.
107
Again, lessen means make smaller, make smaller.
108
And the burden, the burden is something difficult you must do or something heavy you must carry.
109
Two meanings.
110
So the burden of her salary, it means her salary is tough,
111
it's heavy, it's difficult for the sisters.
112
They must pay their mom every day, every hour she comes, and this is difficult.
113
It costs a lot of money, so it's a burden.
114
It's a burden to the sisters.
115
So they want mom to work less.
116
They want mom to work only one day each week.
117
They want mom to work one day, so they only pay her for one day, maybe eight hours.
118
Then they can save a lot of money for the business.
119
So that's why they want mom to work less.
120
But mom doesn't like the idea.
121
She says she would go crazy if she retired.
122
Retired means stop working.
123
So mom says, no, no, I will go crazy.
124
I don't want to work less.
125
I want to come every day.
126
The sisters don't want her to retire they say
127
she could still come in to the office as often as she wants she could come every day
128
and do her personal paperwork banking letter writing reading etc
129
so it's okay for mom to come just to socialize to talk to them
130
so she's not alone they say that's okay
131
but they don't want to pay her to do her personal work paperwork banking
132
because these are all things she does at work on the clock ah on the clock means
133
when you are working it means during work time okay during the time you are paid
134
so mom has been doing personal work during work time on the clock so they are paying mom,
135
but mom is not helping with the business.
136
She's writing letters to her friends.
137
She's reading books.
138
She's not doing work, but she wants the sisters, the daughters, to continue paying her.
139
So it's a problem.
140
It says, if we try to discuss this, mom gets hurt.
141
Okay, When they tell mom, mom, you're costing us money and you're not working, mom gets hurt.
142
She says, just let me know when I'm not worth the money.
143
We don't want to do that.
144
We hope she would see the fairness of this
145
and suggest it herself ah
146
so the sisters her daughters they don't want to fire mom they don't want to make her quit they hope
147
mom will understand by herself
148
but she's not okay last paragraph business expenses are
149
going through the roof okay expense means cost right money
150
you pay out right it's the opposite of income income means money coming in expense money going out
151
so the business costs are going through the roof going through the roof means going up very fast
152
Their costs are increasing.
153
Their costs are going up very, very fast.
154
So they are losing money.
155
And there are updates we should make.
156
Updates means improvements.
157
Improvements.
158
They need to improve the business to make it better.
159
But we can't do the updates.
160
They can't improve while we are paying mom at the level we are.
161
So they can't continue to pay mom full time because the business is losing money.
162
They can't pay her
163
that on top of the money for the buyout on top
164
of means also means in addition to on top of means above
165
and beyond they both mean same thing on top of means in addition to or plus money for the buy out.
166
Buy out means you're buying a business from someone else.
167
They are buying the business from their mom.
168
So they say, oh, it's too expensive.
169
We must pay mom to buy the business.
170
Plus, we must pay her salary every hour.
171
These two are too much.
172
We can't pay for the buyout on top of her salary, too.
173
It's too much.
174
Okay, that's all.
175

Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
