Once you put everything together and then have it all 3 00:00:13,279 --> 00:00:19,039 wrapped up, let me know and I'll follow up with you. Today's English 4 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:27,519 lesson and conversation is all about these phrasel verbs for business. Let's study together. 5 00:00:30,199 --> 00:00:35,200 Welcome to another Happy English podcast coming to you from New York City. 6 00:00:35,399 --> 00:00:39,880 And here's your English teacher, Michael.

And this is Happy English Podcast, Episode six seventy two, 9 00:00:54,159 --> 00:01:00,920 Business English phrasel Verbs. I really love helping you learn fasal verbs. But 10 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:06,480 I think you knew that right. Not only are phrasal verbs useful for your 11 00:01:06,519 --> 00:01:15,599 everyday English conversations, but they always appear in business conversations and on exams like 12 00:01:15,799 --> 00:01:21,519 the TOEK exam. For today's English lesson, we're going to look at six 13 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:26,400 different phrasal verbs that you can use in the workplace. Let's check them out 14 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:32,879 now. Listen to a conversation between two office workers. Good morning, Sarah. 15 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,640 Did you manage to dive into the project analysis we discussed? Oh? 16 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,879 Hi, Mark, Yes, I did. I'll be finishing it up today. 17 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,400 So far the data looks promising. That's great to hear. We should 18 00:01:42,439 --> 00:01:47,719 put off presenting it to senior management until we have all the necessary information. 19 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,079 Agreed, I'll put together the rest of the data and wrap up the report 20 00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:55,480 by the end of the day. Perfect, and don't forget to follow up 21 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,480 with the team members who provided the initial data. Absolutely, I'll reach out 22 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:05,239 to them today. The first one is dive into. In the conversation, 23 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:10,879 Mark asks Sarah if she managed to dive into the project analysis. Dive into 24 00:02:12,039 --> 00:02:20,280 means to begin doing something, especially with enthusiasm or eagerness. Dive into is 25 00:02:20,439 --> 00:02:25,280 not separable. Here are some examples. Jerry was excited to dive into the 26 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:31,879 new project and contribute his ideas. Elaine and George need to dive into the 27 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:39,800 market research to understand customers preferences. The team, including Cramer, was ready 28 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:46,479 to dive into the task and achieve their goals. Next, Sarah told Mark 29 00:02:46,599 --> 00:02:54,080 that she will be finishing it up today. Finish up means to complete or 30 00:02:54,319 --> 00:03:04,639 finish doing something. Often the final tasks remaining work. Finish up is separable. 31 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:10,159 For example, let's finish up the report and send it to mister Peterman 32 00:03:10,319 --> 00:03:15,680 by the end of the day. Susan said she needs to finish up the 33 00:03:15,759 --> 00:03:23,560 presentation slides before the meeting starts. After finishing up the project, Newman celebrated 34 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:30,919 the success with the team. Next, Mark suggested putting off presenting it to 35 00:03:31,039 --> 00:03:39,159 senior management. Put Off means to delay or postpone doing something until a later 36 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:47,400 date or time. Put Off is separable. Here are some examples. Mister 37 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:53,879 Pitt notified us that the meeting has been put off until next week due to 38 00:03:53,120 --> 00:04:00,439 scheduling conflicts. Don't put off completing your assignments until the last minute. About 39 00:04:00,479 --> 00:04:04,919 the new product launch, we had to put it off due to an issue 40 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:11,759 in the factory. Sarah told Mark that she will put together the rest of 41 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:18,759 the data. Put together. Put together means to compile or combine information in 42 00:04:18,879 --> 00:04:27,439 order to present it in an organized way. Put together is separable. For 43 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:32,839 example, Morty told me that we need to put together a comprehensive marketing strategy 44 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:40,199 for the new product. The team put together an impressive presentation for the client 45 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:46,360 meeting. Can you help mister Bookman put the budget report together for the annual 46 00:04:46,399 --> 00:04:53,160 review. Next, Sarah's plan is to wrap up the report by the end 47 00:04:53,160 --> 00:05:00,399 of the day. Wrap Up means to complete or finish doing something, often 48 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:06,959 in a final or conclusive manner. Wrap Up is separable. Here are some 49 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:15,319 examples. Let's wrap up the meeting by summarizing the key decisions and action items. 50 00:05:15,319 --> 00:05:19,399 I need to wrap up this project before I can move on to the 51 00:05:19,439 --> 00:05:27,480 next one. After wrapping up the negotiation, we celebrated with dinner at the 52 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:33,600 steakhouse, and finally, Mark reminded Sarah to follow up with the team members. 53 00:05:34,439 --> 00:05:42,079 Follow Up means to communicate with someone in order to provide them with updated 54 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:50,279 information or to continue a previous conversation or action. Follow Up is separable, 55 00:05:50,839 --> 00:06:00,480 and you can follow something up or follow up with someone. For example, 56 00:06:00,199 --> 00:06:06,319 I will follow up with the client regarding their feedback on our proposal. This 57 00:06:06,519 --> 00:06:14,439 Al's team followed up with potential customers to address their questions. It's important to 58 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:19,519 follow up after a job interview to show that you are interested in the job. 59 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:26,279 Now listen to the conversation again while listening for the phrasal verbs from this 60 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,160 lesson. Good morning, Sarah, did you manage to dive into the project 61 00:06:30,199 --> 00:06:32,720 analysis we discussed? Oh? Hi, Mark, Yes, I did. 62 00:06:32,959 --> 00:06:36,600 I'll be finishing it up today. So far the data looks promising. That's 63 00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:41,399 great to hear. We should put off presenting it to senior management until we 64 00:06:41,439 --> 00:06:45,680 have all the necessary information. Agreed, I'll put together the rest of the 65 00:06:45,759 --> 00:06:48,160 data and wrap up the report by the end of the day. Perfect, 66 00:06:48,439 --> 00:06:53,279 And don't forget to follow up with the team members who provided the initial data. 67 00:06:53,399 --> 00:06:58,000 Absolutely, I'll reach out to them today. Keep in mind, the 68 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:03,240 best way to remember this and any vocabulary is to take the word or phrase, 69 00:07:03,879 --> 00:07:09,920 write it in a sentence that's true for you or true in your world, 70 00:07:09,959 --> 00:07:16,040 and then memorize your sentences. Well, that's it for today's lesson and 71 00:07:16,959 --> 00:07:21,199 time for me to wrap it up.
