[00:01:01]

Hurry up.

[00:01:03]

Do you need to be somewhere, Rob?

[00:01:05]

Yeah, I need to get to the shops to buy something in the sales. So you want to snap up a bargain?

[00:01:13]

Well, I don't want to snap anything. Just grab a bargain. That's what I mean.

[00:01:19]

When you snap up something, it means you get something quickly and with enthusiasm. So, Rob, you want to snap up a bargain at the shops, but you could also snap up tickets for a concert or snap up the offer of an amazing job.

[00:01:36]

Well, today, I want to snap up a new smartphone that's on sale for half price.

[00:01:41]

Well, don't go yet. We have some examples to listen to. The good news, the company snapped me up as soon as they read my CV.

[00:01:53]

I managed to snap up these half price shoes in the sales. Do you like them? I couldn't get a ticket to the gig because they were all snapped up as soon as they went on sale. And you're listening to the English. We speak from BBC Learning English, and we're talking about the expression snap up. If you snap up something, you get it quickly or immediately and usually with enthusiasm. So Rob is the smart phone. You want to snap up any good?

[00:02:26]

Yes. Long battery life, great image and sound quality. And it's a great color.

[00:02:32]

A bit like this one. Yes, just like that one. Where did you get it from?

[00:02:40]

I snapped it up in the sales on the way to the office. Sorry, Rob. I think it was the last one.

[00:02:46]

Oh, FIFA. That's not fair.

[00:02:49]

If you want something quickly, Rob, you have to snap to it. That means do something immediately or quickly.

[00:02:56]

Oh, well, the phone wasn't that good anyway. And now I've saved my money. I can go and snap up something else in the sales. Good.

[00:03:04]

So we're both happy by now by.
