'Knock It Out of the Park' with These Sports Idioms

In English, there are many expressions that come from sports. Here

are four sports idioms that you can use in daily conversation.

Keep your eye on the ball

When playing baseball, it's important to watch the ball. If you keep

your eye on the ball, you're more likely to hit it. So, the expression

"keep your eye on the ball" means "focus on the most important

thing." For example, "Keep your eye on the ball and you'll get good

grades."

Drop the ball

In many sports, a team could lose a game if a player drops the

ball. So if you "drop the ball," you've made a mistake or failed at

something important. For example, if you forget an important meeting,

you can say, "I'm sorry. I really dropped the ball!"

Get the ball rolling

This expression probably comes from croquet, a lawn game that

involves using a mallet to hit balls on the ground. To start a game of

croquet, one of the players has to hit the ball, making it roll across the

ground. So, to "get the ball rolling" means to start an activity or

process, and to "keep the ball rolling" means to continue it. For

instance, "Let's get the ball rolling by introducing ourselves."

Knock it out of the park

When a baseball player hits the ball out of the park, the team scores a

home run. This doesn't happen very often, so it's really exciting to

see. In the same way, when someone does something very well, you

can say they "hit it out of the park" or "knocked it out of the park." For

example, "Great job on your exam! You really knocked it out of the

park!"

In addition to categorizing by type of offering, most products intended for

A

Convenience Products – These are products that appeal to a very large market

segment. They are generally consumed regularly and purchased frequently. Examples

include most household items such as food, cleaning products, and personal care

products. Because of the high purchase volume, pricing per item tends to be relatively

low and consumers often see little value in shopping around since additional effort

yields minimal savings. From the marketer‟s perspective the low price of convenience

products means that profit per unit sold is very low. In order to make high profits

1 Unit1 sports Beyond Beckham

By Malcolm Beith

Nursing a broken foot, Wayne Rooney limped off the football field

just 27 minutes into England's Euro 2004 quarter-final against Portugal.

His tournament was over, but what a hard game it had been: Rooney had

shot four goals and given his team the hope David Beckham had failed to

provide. Surely the 18-year-old Rooney was the One, thought the football

experts from Birmingham to Bangkok, the golden boy who would replace

Beckham as the new face of football. But the hype died down as soon as

the question of dollars translated into sense. Sure, Rooney is a very good

player, declared one commentator, but what could he possibly

sell---"potatoes?"

In the Age of Beckham, it takes more than football skills to become
