معنی و توضیح
In this podcast, “points” are a form of prepaid interest, so that the borrower pays more money upfront: “Has the lender explained the meaning of these points?” The phrase “up to a point” means partially, but not entirely: “I agree with you up to a point, but I think we have different solutions to the problem.” The phrase “the point of no return” refers to the moment when it is not possible to stop something from happening, or when one cannot change one’s actions: “Once the rocket hits a certain altitude, it is past the point of no return and we can’t prevent it from continuing on to outer space.” Finally, the phrase “to be at the point of doing (something)” mean to be about to do something, or go be going to do something soon: “I was at the point of going to bed when some unexpected visitors arrived.” 3 these materials on another website or distributing them in any way is prohibited. www.easytalk.ir English as a Second Language Podcast www.eslpod.com ESL Podcast 1070 – Getting a Mortgage Loan
