14 分钟Hi there.
This is Harry.
And welcome back to my podcast, where I try to help you to get a much better understanding of the english language, where we can help you to improve your conversational English, your understanding of business English, and how you can use those all important phrasal verbs expressions and make sure you get your basic grammar and pronunciation right.
So today we're going to look at some phrasal verbs, and the phrasal verbs we're looking at are those connected with decision making.
Okay, so when we're looking at decision making, well, of course, if you're working in business, you know about decision making, but it's not just a business issue.
Decision making is in every part of our life, whether it's about picking university or deciding whether we're going to have turkey mince for burgers or beef mince for burgers can be very, very simple or very, very complicated, depending on how we wish to make it.
So I have five basic steps when I'm talking about decision making.
First of all, I want to know what our objectives are.
What are the goals that we have set ourselves?
Then we need to look at what options we have.
Is there more than one option when we're making a decision?
And then we have to pick the strategy to achieve that objective along with our decision making.
Then we have to monitor and watch the progress.
And then finally, we have to review success or otherwise.
Now, of course, you don't do those five steps when you're picking turkey mince or beef mince for your burgers, but in other respects, you have to have some logical steps to see how you get on.
So here we're going to look at phrasal verbs that say, connected with decision making.
I'll give you them first of all.
Then I'll explain them with examples, and then we'll go through them again.
Okay, so the first to weigh something up, and that's w e I g h.
