Patient : I would like to apply for a scholarship to study abroad. Do you have any advice for me?
Doctor : A scholarship is usually given based on a student’s academic abilities and extracurricular activities. In order to get one, you have to work harder, or else you cannot cut the mustard.
Patient : What do you mean by that?
Doctor : “ To cut the mustard ” is an expression meaning to succeed or to come up to expectations. Anyway, good luck to your application and I am sure that you will make me proud.
