Question

ESLPod_0906_WE_1486 Using Illegal Drugs The phrase "to get the point across," in this podcast, means to make one's message clear, or to clearly communicate a message to another person: "How did your doctor get the point across about losing weight?" The phrase "a good point" is used to show that one agrees with what another person has said: "I like the proposal, but Harold make a good point about needing to wait until next year." The phrase "that's not the point" is used when one is frustrated because someone is focusing on the wrong part of an idea: "Yes, it's expensive, but that's not the point. This is a great opportunity!" Finally, the phrase "to get to the point" means to be direct or straightforward and say exactly what one means: "I wish she would hurry up and get to the point instead of wasting our time by being so indirect."
