comfort zone. Okay. Let's take a look at the note here. If we say someone is in their

comfort zone. He or she is in a situation where one feels comfortable and not

worried. However this sort of phrase tends to be

used more in the negative than it does in the positive. So let's continue here. Yeah.

and if someone is not in his or her comfort zone, it means one does not feel

safe or at ease. It is often a situation in which you may

have to do something one is not yet experienced at or are not comfortable with

one's skill level or ability. So that's why you know, you feel like you're not in

your comfort zone or something takes you out of your comfort zone. Or yeah. We use...

we tend to use it kind of that way. All right. Let's continue/ The original use of this

noun phrase referred to a temperature range usually considered to be between

28 and 30 degrees Celsius or about 82 to 86 Fahrenheit in which the naked human

body can keep the heat balance without shivering. You know without shaking or

sweating. So that, that's the original idea of a comfort zone. So that could

still be used today too. What we're mostly covering the other use where especially

somebody doesn't feel comfortable. Something or somebody is out of their

comfort zone. All right. So we have several examples here. Let's look at

example number one. I don't think I should take that promotion if they offer

it to me. I will be required to do a lot of presentations and that would take me

out of my comfort zone. Yeah. A lot of people are very nervous about giving

presentations and stuff. So that might be a reason that he might not want the job.

He doesn't want that much pressure. He doesn't want that much stress. Number two. Some people

say that you need to step outside your comfort zone in order to challenge

yourself. You know, to, in order to improve or advance. You know, you got to go beyond

your comfort zone or step outside your comfort zone. So these are other ways

that we sometimes use the same noun phrase. All right. Let's look at number three

here. That job will require that I speak in English often I am NOT confident with

my English ability. It really takes me out of my comfort zone Okay. Anyway I

hope you got it. I hope it's clear. Thank you for your time.

Bye-bye.
