Today on Language7 Snacks we take a look at the expression8 in two minds. Let's listen to the dialogue9.

A: What are we going to buy Donna for her birthday? She'll be 15 next Saturday.

B: I've got10 no idea about teenagers11! What do you think?

A: Well, I'm in two minds. I thought12 about buying her a CD13, but I'm not sure which she'd like. On the other hand, if I give her money, she can choose one herself14. I can't decide.

B: I think it's safer to just give her the money. Teenagers change their favourite music every week!

A: Hmm15, perhaps16 you're right.

Should you have tea or coffee? Go out or stay at home? Keep your hair long or get it cut? When you can't decide between two alternatives17, you can say that you are in two minds. A variation18 is to say that you are caught in two minds.

I'm in two minds about what to do right now actually19. It's a lovely day outside and I really should go out for some fresh20 air. But, on the other hand, there's a great football game on TV this afternoon!

And that's it for now – join us again for some more Language Snacks.

1. a

2. watching football on TV
