Hi everyone!
I’m Georgiana; founder of SpeakEnglishPodcast.com. My mission is to help YOU speak English fluently.
In today’s episode:
- I’ll talk about the most common business expressions.
- Later, you’ll practice grammar with a point-of-view story.
Awesome! Let’s get started!
- Look up to someone
When you look up to someone, you view them with respect and admiration.
Example:
“Tom truly looks up to his father, and he wants to become a policeman, just like his dad.”
This expression refers to a sailor learning the different ropes for the sails of a ship. When you show the ropes to someone, you explain to them how to do a particular task correctly:
Example:
“It’ll take me a couple of weeks to show you the ropes, but after that, you’ll be entirely prepared for the task.”
- Day one
We usually use the expression day one to talk about something that happens from the very beginning of an activity or a process.
Examples:
“I’m sorry, but your project was meant to fail from day one!”
“This procedure has never worked from day one.”
