Over five years, tens of thousands of documents, including cancer diagnoses and other test results, were put in storage instead of being sent to hospitals or GPs.
The NAO report says the health secretary, Jeremy Hunt, knew there was a problem in March 2016, but waited four months before alerting parliament.

12 English phrases to ‘Quit your job professionally’ – Job interview Ski...


source: Learn English with Let's Talk    2017年5月21日
There's a common phrase when you are leaving a company. 'Don't burn the bridge. This is basically saying you should leave on a good term. If you leave on a good note, then you have the option of coming back to the company or your position if something goes wrong with your next job. So basically, you are leaving the bridge back to your position. Watch this complete lesson with me on Let’s talk about “how to quit a job professionally” with me Michelle.

Can anything be done about this?
1 If you don’t want to work on a particular project, you could say "I have been asking to take on Program Management responsibilities here. ”
If you want a higher salary, you could say "Well, they are offering me a higher salary. Would it be possible for you guys to match this?"

2 -"I shouldn't pass this up”
If you are leaving because you have an offer from a different company, you could tell you manager: “I shouldn't pass this up. I am at a point where I want to find other challenges. “

3- I have to put in my two week notice.
Meaning: Giving a two week notice is standard. This gives your current employer the chance to hire someone to replace you. It also gives some time for you to finish the remaining work you have to do. Not giving a two week notice is one way to burn a bridge. To give a Two week notice is also an opportunity to appreciate and end on a good note.
Example: I really enjoyed my time here and I appreciated all your help on my tasks but I have to put in my two week notice.

4 -I want to take a break:
Meaning: If you want to take a break from your job for a while and join back the same company later, you could say:
Example:
I want to take a break to spend more time with my family (personal time)/ I am going to travel for a year (travel)

5- Next Friday is my last day
Meaning: This is a casual and informal phrase. You can use this to tell your close friend at work that you’re quitting.

6- I’m leaving this dump
Meaning: This is rude and offensive because you’re calling your workplace a garbage dump. Be careful with using this.

7- I got screwed here so many times
Meaning: You would use this phrase if you faced trouble at the work place so many times.

8- It was great working with you
Meaning: This is a positive and encouraging phrase that will help you leave on good terms. This is what you can say to your co-worker who is not a close friend.

9- Let me know if they have any other opening –
If someone else is leaving, then you can say something good like this. It can be used if you also want to join their new workplace.

10. Save me a seat-
Meaning: This would be used when you want them to recommend you at their new workplace.

11. "Good luck with your new career."
Meaning: This phrase would be used when you honestly want to wish someone well for their future, this could be used for someone you look up to or someone who inspires you with their work.

Here is a copy of the essay as it appears in the video:

Consumers are exposed to an extreme amount of advertising in the modern era. To what extent do you think people are influenced by ads? What measures would you suggest to protect them?

Modern approaches to marketing have become increasingly intrusive, and this has exposed people to more advertising than ever before in history. Because many of these advertisements successfully manipulate the viewer’s lifestyle and opinions, I feel their influence is profound. This essay will analyse examples that demonstrate this influence. It will also offer suggestions regarding how society can guard itself against the powers of advertising.

The influence of advertising can change lifestyles and societal values in dangerous ways. For example, fast food, such as that served by McDonald’s and KFC, is often presented as the diet of athletic people. To the public, these images normalise and validate what many scientific studies have confirmed is a very unhealthy dietary choice. In addition to altering lifestyles, marketing campaigns can also confuse the public about important societal events. For instance, a recently released video depicts a group of marching protestors defusing a confrontation with the police by giving them a Pepsi. Many people correctly pointed out that such imagery trivialises the purpose of protest and the professional role of the police, images that could dangerously alter the opinions of impressionable young people. Thus, as the above examples show, advertising in the modern era is extremely influential.

To protect people from these negative effects, one approach is to regulate the number of times a marketing campaign can target a specific person’s social media account. This has been effective in Canada, where marketers are only allowed to present their promotional Facebook imagery to people old enough to know they are being advertised to. A second strategy could be to create awareness programs in high schools that educate young people about advertisements and their influence. These two policies would help preserve the public’s ability to remain critical of what they see.

Although advertising is an economic necessity, its influence should be recognised and kept under control. As the above has shown, societies should work to guard their freedom to make decisions unaltered by the interests of large companies.

Great boast, small roast: people who show or talk more than they actually do or brag more than what they actually do

It is harder to be poor without complaining than to be rich without boasting: it is easy for rich people to boast and flaunt what they have

Great boaster, little doer: used for people who boast and show off but actually do very little.

Great boasters, little doers: people show off and boast but do not so much in real

Believe a boaster as you would a liar: this is a sarcastic phrase. Do you believe liars? Of course not, so like wise you would not believe a boaster.

He is a fool who boasts of four things: that he has good wine, a good horse, a handsome wife, and plenty of money: people generally boast about these four things when there is no need to.

Envy waits on boasting: people who boast generate envy
He makes idle boasting: used to say someone boasts for no reason at all

It is one thing to boast, another to fight: some people prefer boasting rather than doing anything or struggling for what they want

They can do least who boast loudest: people who boast the loudest or the most are the ones who do the least

TRANSCRIPT
Denise
Morning everyone. How did you get on at the conference?

Tom
Oh hi Denise. Yeah it was… it was OK.

Anna
What do you mean 'OK'? It was great. We made some new contacts and we won an award – Best Plastic Innovation of the Year, for our Imperial Lemon.

Denise
Oh that's wonderful. Wish I'd been there.

Tom
Maybe next year eh?

Narrator
Maybe?Welcome back to the offices of Tip Top Trading where everyone is catching up on yesterday's good news. But today it's bad news that everyone is going to hear following Paul’s chat with the big boss, Mr Socrates. But how bad is it? Let's find out.

Paul
Morning everyone.

Anna
Hi Paul. Everything OK?

Paul
Yes, fine. Well done for winning Employee of the Year – I hope you can continue to be a great employee. Excuse me.

Denise
Hmm, he sounded odd. What did he mean?

Tom
Probably run out of biscuits!

Anna
He's obviously got something on his mind.

Paul
Denise, could I have a word with you in my office please?

Denise
Of course. I'll bring my notepad and pen shall I?

Tom
What's that all about? Anyway, now we're alone, I wanted to see what you're doing tonight… are you free?

Anna
Sorry Tom, I'm seeing Dave tonight. He's offered to fix something on my computer at home.

Tom
Oh, has he now?

Denise
All the years I've worked here – why me? Why now?

Anna
Denise, what's up?

Denise
Paul says he needs to move the furniture around and he has to let me go. He says he can't afford me anymore.

Anna
That's terrible… but where's he letting you go to? And what furniture is he moving?

Narrator
No Anna! If someone says they are 'moving the furniture' they really mean they are restructuring or changing the business. And if they say 'they have to let you go', it means they are sacking you or in other words, ending your job.

Anna
Sacking you? Oh, that is serious. Denise, I'm really sorry to hear this. But why does Paul want to 'move the furniture' around?

Denise
He says it's because of the tough economic situation. My role is no longer needed

Tom
Hey, that's not true. You make a great cup of tea Denise. I've got a good mind to smash Paul's bourbons into tiny crumbs. Grrr.

Anna
Calm down Tom. Now Denise, when did Paul say you had to go?

Denise
He's given me seven days' notice.

Narrator
A 'notice period' is an amount of time an employer must give an employee if they plan to terminate their employment.

Denise
I never thought I would be facing redundancy… not now… not at my age.

Anna
Redundancy?

Narrator
Yes, if someone says 'they are facing redundancy', it’s another way of saying they are losing their job. Hmm, I think Denise needs a shoulder to cry on.

Anna
Yes. Denise, do you want my shoulder to cry on?

Denise
Oh thanks.

Tom
Urgh! Erm… Denise, I've just made some tea would you like a cup?

Denise
Oh yes please.

Tom
There you go. You know Denise, you've got to think positively. You'll get another job… and let's face it you didn't like working here anyway… you always looked so miserable.

Narrator
I don't think Tom's attempts to cheer Denise up are going to work! Losing your job can be a traumatic experience. It can come as a surprise and a shock. Let's hear the phrases Paul used to break the news to Denise:

We've got to move the furniture around.

I'm afraid I've got to let you go.

I'm giving you seven days' notice.

Narrator
And here are some other expressions you may hear in connection with losing your job:

Facing redundancy

Getting the sack

Terminating your employment

Leaving the company

Denise
Right, well, I might as well start clearing out my desk.

Tom
Yeah it's a real shame. Any chance I could have your stapler?

Anna
Tom, you could be a bit more sympathetic.

Tom
Oh right.

Paul
Tom, Anna. Could I have a word in my office please?

Tom
Oh no. This is it. It's my turn to get the chop!

Denise
Ha, You might not need my stapler after all!

Narrator
Crikey! Things aren't looking good at Tip Top Trading. Are Tom and Anna getting the chop… I mean, the sack? Join us again next time on English at Work.

How to Use Contractions - English Pronunciation...

Do you use contractions like 'isn’t', 'I’m' or 'he’d'? Many English learners don’t. But, using contractions can really help to improve your English fluency.

Secondly, your English speaking will sound more fluent and natural if you use contractions. You can learn more about how to pronounce English contractions in this lesson.
Points covered in this English pronunciation lesson:
- How to form contractions in English.
- How to pronounce English contractions correctly.
- How to form positive and negative English contractions.
- When to use (and not to use) contractions.
