Welcome to the English we speak.
I'm Beth.
And I'm fei fi.
We have an expression that describes a very tiny chance of something happening.
The phrase is a million to one.
A million to one.
Beth, can you tell us a bit more?
Well, I've entered a baking competition.
I really hope I get into the finals, but I'm not feeling confident, especially because I'm not very good.
The chance is a million to one.
A million people havent actually entered the competition.
But you say a million to one.
Because you feel your chance isnt very high.
Yes, its an exaggeration.
I think the chance is extremely unlikely.
Well, I hope you hear back soon.
Maybe you could bring a cake in for us to try.
I can, but youll have to get in quickly.
Its a million to one that Neil and Phil will not have eaten it all before you even get near it.
You know how much they love cake.
