TRANSCRIPT
Narrator: Hello again. At the offices of Tip Top Trading things are a bit strange after Tom walked… stormed out in a huff after realising that Anna was never going to marry him. So Anna, I suppose you can get on with being the manager now?
Anna: Yes, I suppose so. But something's not right.
Narrator: Well, you've lost a valuable member of your team.
Anna: I know, and a good friend too.
Narrator: Well, you're the boss now – it's time to deal with the situation and get down to business. Tell the team you'll be finding a replacement for Tom and you're going to make some changes in the office. You could also say you want to turn the business round and make it really successful.
Anna: OK, thanks. Excuse me everyone, could we gather round for a quick meeting please. Oh, it's just you now Denise.
Right, well, I need to get down to business so I'll be advertising for a replacement for Tom today – in fact Denise, you might be interested in that? And I want to make some changes in the office. I need to turn this business round and … make it the world's leading plastic fruit production company and… I'm… keen to hear… your ideas.
Denise: Is everything alright?
Anna: Err… I can't stop thinking about Tom. He seemed so upset when he left and… it's not the same without him around. He made me laugh and… I miss his floppy hair.
Narrator: Anna, it's time to swallow your pride!
Anna: Swallow what?
Narrator: Admit you are wrong – be honest with yourself and follow your heart – go and marry Tom! Although personally, I don't know what you see in him.
Anna: You're right! Why didn't I see it? Tom is the man for me – I must call him and find out where he is … oh no, his phone's switched off. Where can I find him?
Mr Ingle: Hey Anna. You looking for Tom?
Anna: Yes Mr Ingle, I am.
Mr Ingle: I saw him a while ago, in a real rage, getting into a taxi. He told me he'd booked a flight to Australia and was heading for the airport. He said something about being a 'free spirit'.
Narrator: Struth! Tom really is going too far – to the other end of the world in fact. Does this mean we'll never hear from Tom again?
For now, let's remind ourselves of some of the phrases Anna used to deal with a difficult situation:
I'll be advertising for a replacement for Tom today
I want to make some changes in the office
I need to turn this business round
I'm keen to hear your ideas
Anna: …but work can wait. I've got to get to the airport quickly before Tom gets on that flight. Taxi! Taxi!
Narrator: This is going to be interesting!
News Review: Greenest summer ever for UK

Neil and Catherine teach you how to use language in the news in your everyday English.
The story
The British National Grid – that's the system of wires that takes electricity from its sources into people's homes – was the most environmentally friendly ever this summer.
Over half of the energy consumed came from low-carbon sources – that's things like solar and wind power rather than coal or oil.
Key words and phrases
enjoys: experiences something as an advantage
spells trouble: suggests there may be future problems
bleed: take a lot of money from

Regular verbs vs. Phrasal verbs
source: Espresso English 2017年8月27日
Phrasal Verbs in Conversation Course: https://www.espressoenglish.net/phras...
A phrasal verb is a combination of a verb + preposition that has a specific meaning.
Sometimes the meaning of the phrasal verb is quite different from the meaning of the regular verb by itself!
I often see students make mistakes by mixing up regular verbs and phrasal verbs. Here are some common verbs and phrasal verbs in English, and the situations in which each one should be used.
One of the best ways to learn phrasal verbs - and remember them - is in context. My Phrasal Verbs in Conversation Course can help you do that.
Each lesson is based on a dialogue, so it's easy to see how the phrasal verbs are used naturally.
There are also quizzes and practice exercises to help you put the phrasal verbs into practice.

Happy Expressions in English
source: mmmEnglish 2017年7月31日
Learn some common English expressions to show that you are really happy and excited about something!
“I’m thrilled”
“I have to pinch myself” (about dreams, positive)
"Over the moon" (really happy / delighted)
"I can’t believe it!" (shocked - positive and negative)
"I’m blown away" (really impressed, surprised in a good way)
And these expressions are used more colloquially:
"I’m pumped!" (I'm really excited)
"You’re killing it!" (When used in this context, this odd expression actually means you’re doing really well!)
Learn and remember vocabulary
source: Crown Academy of English 2017年8月8日
Here are some tips, tricks and advice to learn and remember vocabulary.
Learn new words by theme
A long list of random, unrelated words is difficult for the brain to process. It is better to learn words from the same subject or topic.
Learn related words and phrases
When you learn a new word, find all the derived, related words, synonyms and phrases and learn them too.
Review and revise words you have already learned
When you learn a new word, it starts in our short-term memory. To memorise / memorize it properly, you must continue to revise the word to transfer it to your long-term memory.
In the days and weeks after learning new words:
- Read your notes again.
- Say and write the words again.
- Read some material in which the words appear.
- Do some more exercises.
A good English course will have regular vocabulary reviews. If you do not review words, you will forget them after a few days.
Reading is important to memorize vocabulary because you will see new words in different contexts. The context helps you understand the meaning. The context also helps you recall and remember. A story or article is more interesting than a list of words. We have a specific goal. It's interesting.
Reading is important but it is not enough to properly memorise new words. You are passive while reading. You need to be active.
Write new words in a notebook with their derivatives, synonyms and phrases. Write down example sentences for each new word. Writing uses motor memory and this helps with recall.
Say / speak the new words and example sentences out loud. If possible do this with another student. Ask the other student a question. Say the new words and phrases in your
Make flashcards
A flashcard is a card to learn a new word. The new word is on one side of the card. The definition and/or picture is on the other side.
Make the flashcards yourself. Don’t use cards made by someone else.
There are lots of activities you can do with flashcards:
- Memory games
- Sort them into themes
- Combine several cards to make sentences
Apps, games and software are an excellent way to learn new words.

TRANSCRIPT
Narrator: Welcome back to the offices of Tip Top Trading where there's a bit of confusion. Anna…
Anna: Yes?
Narrator: I think Tom's got the wrong end of the stick.
Anna: But I didn't give him a stick.
Narrator: No, no. I think there's been a misunderstanding. When you said your answer was 'yes' he thought you meant 'yes, I'll marry you'!
Anna: Oh no! I meant yes to the promotion. Gosh I've got to sort this out. Tom, Tom, hold on please.
Tom: We can't hang about Anna. Let's fix a date, invite everyone – even Paul.
Anna: No, no, we can't.
Tom: You're right, not Paul – he just talks about biscuits.
Anna: No. I mean 'no', we can't get married. I meant yes to the promotion. I can't marry you.
Tom: What? So when you said 'yes' you meant 'no'?
Anna: Yes.
Tom: I see. Right, that's it. Anna, I've made it very clear what I think about you and you… you… just throw it back in my face. I've had enough… enough of you… enough of this company. I quit!
Narrator: Anna. I think he's upset. He's having a tantrum.
Anna: A tantrum – is that serious?
Narrator: Not really. Maybe you need to calm him down and make him change his mind. Tell him 'not to be too hasty', 'don't rush into a decision' and say 'we can work this out' – you can can't you?
Anna: I think I can. Tom, please, don't be too hasty. Let's talk about this. We can work something out, just don't rush into making a decision – please. You're my best – my only – sales executive.
Tom: Sorry Anna – I'm a free spirit. I must go where the wind takes me. You've had your chance, now it’s mine. I’m off.
Narrator: Wow, I've never seen Tom be such a… man. Will this be the last time we ever see him?
Here are some of the phrases Anna used to try and get Tom not to leave:
Don't be too hasty
Don't rush into making a decision
We can work this out
Tom: …erm, sorry, I just forgot to take my special mug. Bye.

TRANSCRIPT
Narrator: Hello again and welcome back to English at Work – the drama about life at the plastic fruit production company called Tip Top Trading. You may remember Anna, the company's newest and brightest sales executive, was offered a promotion and a marriage proposal at the same time. She's taken time out to think about her reply but everyone in the office really misses her.
Tom: I dunno Denise, I'd be good for Anna, I think we would be been a perfect pair. Mr and Mrs Darcy… it sounds good…
Anna: I'm back!
Tom: Anna! I…we weren't expecting you.
Anna: Yes I can see – perhaps you could tidy up your desk Tom.
Tom: Very funny Anna – still trying to be the boss! So did you have a good trip? Did you get some 'head space'?
Anna: Eh?
Narrator: He means time alone to think about the things you want to think about. Tell him you've been chewing things over – it means you've been thinking about your proposals and say I have come to a final decision.
Anna: OK, well it's true; I have done a lot of thinking. Tom, I did have some head space and a chance to… chew things over…
Tom: Yes! Yes! And?
Anna: And I've come to a final decision. The answer is 'yes'. I accept. There's no doubt really… I should give it a go… I need the experience… and besides, what's the worst thing that can happen?
Tom: Oh Anna. I'm so happy. You won't regret your decision.
Narrator: Hmm – is Anna really saying 'yes' to Tom's marriage proposal or has there been a misunderstanding?
Here are some of the phrases we've heard today:
I've had a chance to chew things over
I've come to a final decision
I'll give it a go

Using participles as adjectives (BBC Learners' Questions)
source: BBC Learning English 2017年9月1日
Watch this video and then try our quiz on our website to test what you've learnt: http://www.live.bbc.co.uk/learningeng...
Tutul from Bangladesh says: I am confused as to when I can use participles as adjectives. For example, I can say: I saw a barking dog. But I can't say: I saw a barked dog. Why not?
Participle Adjectives
English has a number of adjectives made from verb participles. These end with -ing or are a past participle form of the verb (often -ed). -ing adjectives have a similar meaning to active verbs. Past participles have passive meanings. If you are unsure which to use, transform the participle adjective into a relative clause. If it doesn’t make sense as a relative clause, it doesn’t make sense as a participle adjective. There are not many verb participles that can be used as adjectives in both –ed and –ing forms.

We use the past simple form, but our regret is in the present.
Example: I wish I had more friends.
wish + someone / something + "would" + base form of verb
= we want someone to change their behaviour
or
= we want something to happen
Example: I wish you would listen.
wish + past perfect
= to describe a past situation that we regret.
Example: I wish I had gone to the concert.
We can also use "never" with a negative to emphasise our regret:
Example: I wish I had never gone to the concert.
(I went to the concert. I really regret it now.)
"if only" + past perfect
= This is another way to describe situation from the past that we regret.
If only I had passed my exams.
(I didn't pass my exams. I regret it now.)
"if only" + past perfect
and
wish + past perfect
The meaning of the above 2 structures is the same.
The difference is that "if only" is slightly more formal.

ALREADY - Adverb of time | Use and meaning
source: Crown Academy of English 2017年8月22日
“already” is an adverb of time. It has 2 uses and meaning.
Meaning 1: We use "already" to indicate that something has happened before the moment of speaking.
Meaning 2: We use "already" to express surprise that something has happened earlier or sooner than expected.
Position of “already” in a sentence:
If the sentence has a main verb, then we put "already" before the main verb.
If the sentence has an auxiliary or modal verb, then we put "already" in middle position. Middle position is after the auxiliary / modal verb and before the main verb.
If the sentence has the verb "be" as a main verb (a linking verb), then we put "already" after the verb to be.
"already" in end position:
We can place "already" at the end of a sentence for more emphasis or to show more surprise. This is more common in questions and in informal speech.
In the video I give lots of examples of sentences and questions with "already". I also explain the difference between "already", "yet" and "ever" so I advise you to watch the video.
