1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,480
I went through a rough time when
I had to go through with a speech

2
00:00:04,719 --> 00:00:08,800
last week. Of course, before
I went on stage, I went through

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:13,679
a couple of cups of coffee while
going through the notes for the speech.

4
00:00:14,359 --> 00:00:23,800
That's a lot to go through,
let's discuss. Welcome to another Happy English

5
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:28,679
podcast, coming to you from New
York City, and here's your English teacher,

6
00:00:29,079 --> 00:00:34,840
Michael al Rye. Thank you John, and thanks everyone. It's Michael

7
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:40,560
here from Happy English and I help
people speak English better. And this is

8
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:47,240
Happy English Podcast, Episode seven twenty
seven. Go through. Have you ever

9
00:00:47,359 --> 00:00:52,600
gone through a tunnel with your car
or maybe a train you were on went

10
00:00:52,679 --> 00:00:57,320
through a tunnel. Well, when
you go through a tunnel, you start

11
00:00:57,399 --> 00:01:02,280
at one end and come out the
other end. It's a process of moving

12
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:07,640
from one point to the other.
Think about that as you listen to this

13
00:01:07,799 --> 00:01:15,439
lesson on using go through. John
wants to become a lawyer. As he

14
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,040
recently found out, the process to
become a lawyer is not an easy one.

15
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:25,439
Not only does he need to complete
a college degree and then go to

16
00:01:25,519 --> 00:01:30,200
law school, but he also needs
to pass the bar exam in his state.

17
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,000
In other words, he needs to
go through a lot in order to

18
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:42,239
reach his goal. As in this
story about John, go through means to

19
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:49,480
experience a situation, especially something difficult
or unpleasant. When you go through something

20
00:01:49,599 --> 00:01:56,200
like this, you really don't have
a choice. John is a bit stressed

21
00:01:56,239 --> 00:02:01,359
because he's going through his final exams
this week. Our company was just bought

22
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:07,359
by a bigger company, so we
are going through major changes right now.

23
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:15,319
Alice just went through a difficult breakup
with her boyfriend. Sarah is very good

24
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:20,120
at her job, and her boss
and her coworkers appreciate her effort all the

25
00:02:20,199 --> 00:02:24,439
time and the skills that she brings
to the office. She also has a

26
00:02:24,479 --> 00:02:30,719
lot of experience working there and because
of that, her boss wanted her to

27
00:02:30,759 --> 00:02:35,960
give a speech at the next conference. Sounds nice, right. The problem

28
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:42,039
is that Sarah is deathly afraid of
any kind of public speaking situations. But

29
00:02:42,599 --> 00:02:46,599
when the boss asks, she can't
say no, so she's going to have

30
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:53,080
to go through with it. We
use go through with something when you talk

31
00:02:53,120 --> 00:03:00,800
about doing something despite being unwilling to
do it. When you go through with

32
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:06,280
something like this, you don't want
to do it, but somehow you manage

33
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:12,719
to do it. Even though she
gets nervous doing public speaking, Sarah decided

34
00:03:12,759 --> 00:03:17,599
to go through with the speech that
her boss asked her to make. Nestor

35
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:23,680
and Phoebe were hesitant about buying the
old house because of its condition, but

36
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:28,439
in the end they went through with
the purchase, hoping to restore it.

37
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:34,759
Lisa was unsure about quitting her job
and starting her own business, but she

38
00:03:34,879 --> 00:03:39,599
finally went through with it after months
of planning. Michael is an English teacher

39
00:03:39,919 --> 00:03:45,439
and along with his job comes a
lot of writing. He writes lessons,

40
00:03:45,759 --> 00:03:52,400
social media posts, and even the
scripts for his videos. While everyone knows

41
00:03:52,479 --> 00:03:57,639
that it's important to check those documents
before using them, it seems that Michael

42
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,960
always has a problem with typing the
stakes. All of his students know this

43
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:08,919
and he knows it too, But
despite the fact that he always goes through

44
00:04:09,319 --> 00:04:15,720
everything, those typing mistakes often show
up when you go through something like a

45
00:04:15,879 --> 00:04:23,199
file or a document thoroughly. You
examine it or search it, usually to

46
00:04:23,399 --> 00:04:30,560
find something or to check for errors. Let's have our lawyer go through the

47
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:35,319
contract once more to ensure there are
no mistakes. We need to go through

48
00:04:35,399 --> 00:04:41,959
these files to find the document we're
missing. He went through his contact list,

49
00:04:42,079 --> 00:04:48,519
but he couldn't find Grandpa's address.
Jenny has three young children between the

50
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:55,920
ages of four and ten. She's
always amazed by the amount of basic grocery

51
00:04:55,959 --> 00:05:01,360
items she uses up each week.
Her family can assumes almost four liters of

52
00:05:01,399 --> 00:05:08,360
milk every day, not to mention
bread, eggs, peanut butter, and

53
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:15,480
so on. They certainly go through
a lot of groceries. In this case,

54
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:23,160
go through means to consume or use
up something. Betty said that her

55
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:29,800
kids go through almost a gallon of
milk every day. That's about four leaders.

56
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,879
I can't believe how quickly we've gone
through all the coffee this week.

57
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:41,600
I got a new printer because the
old one went through ink to quickly.

58
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,759
Being the driver of one of those
high speed trains in France or in Japan

59
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:54,000
is a job that involves a lot. Before even leaving the station, the

60
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:59,759
driver needs to carry out a number
of procedures to make sure that the train

61
00:05:59,879 --> 00:06:05,920
is ready for departure. There are
checklists for safety as well as checklists for

62
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:15,480
basic operations, and the driver must
go through all of these procedures in order

63
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:21,519
to safely operate the train. Go
through also means to perform a series of

64
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:30,160
actions or carry out a procedure or
process from start to finish. Before the

65
00:06:30,199 --> 00:06:36,720
plane takes off, the pilot goes
through a safety checklist. Let's go through

66
00:06:36,759 --> 00:06:43,319
the schedule one more time before we
send it out. Once you get hired

67
00:06:43,319 --> 00:06:47,439
in our company, you'll be going
through four weeks of on the job training.

68
00:06:48,639 --> 00:06:55,319
Lenny is a high school student with
big hopes of going toit to study

69
00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:00,680
engineering. MIT is one of the
best engineering schools in America, and getting

70
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:06,480
into that university is not a walk
in the park. The application process is

71
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:13,920
very intense and Lenny has spent a
lot of time preparing all of the documents

72
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,759
he needs to include with his application. Tomorrow morning, he's going to put

73
00:07:18,759 --> 00:07:23,480
it in the mail and send it
off, and the only thing that he

74
00:07:23,519 --> 00:07:30,680
can do after that is just hope
that his application goes through successfully. In

75
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:36,399
this usage of go through, we
talk about a process like an application or

76
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:44,959
a transaction coming to a successful conclusion. As you'll see in the following examples,

77
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:51,120
the subject of go through is the
thing like the application or transaction.

78
00:07:53,120 --> 00:08:00,000
I hope my loan application goes through
without any issues. She was relieved when

79
00:08:00,079 --> 00:08:05,759
her visa application finally went through.
I sent a bankwire transfer and they told

80
00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:11,279
me it should go through in two
days. Keep in mind the best way

81
00:08:11,319 --> 00:08:16,240
to remember this and any other word
or phrase in English is to take that

82
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:22,759
word or phrase, write it in
a sentence that's true for you or true

83
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:28,000
in your world, and then memorize
your sentences by the way. Can you

84
00:08:28,079 --> 00:08:33,360
imagine getting the chance to practice this
kind of English with me directly? You
