SEGMENT V
Business English Ace Twisted English
Twisted English is when you and I examine an actual business news
headline in English.
But these news headlines have a twist.
You do ready financial news in English, right?
The Twisted English series helps you build English reading comprehension.
Headline writers often use expressions in the title of their articles what I
call Twisted English.

Twisted English is the use of expressions with double meanings that

English learners may not understand.
Todays headline in our Twisted English series is Betting That Kroger

Won't Deliver the Beef

have you heard of that expression before?
The expression to deliver the beef means to produce results or to

give value to clients.

Kroger is a supermarket chain in the US. As a grocery store, it sales beef.
The headline could be translated so to speak to Betting that Kroger

Wont Deliver Results or Wont Deliver Value.
