Well, today we're looking at business English, and in fact, we're looking at advanced business English concerning workplace jargon.
Okay, these are typical phrases that you'll hear in the workplace.
So advanced business English using workplace jargon.
And again, as always, there are ten of them.
So I'm going to go through the list one by one, and then I'll give you those particular situations when you can use them.
So some of them are quite strange in the way they sound, but I'll give you the examples and situations, and hopefully that will make it a lot clearer when you come to understand them yourself.
And as you know the drill by now, I'm going to go through them, give you particular situations, then you've got to practice them.
See if you can just introduce one or two of them into your conversations, into your particular business English, and you'll be amazed how quickly you'll get comfortable with them.
Okay, let's go drill down.
Well, we usually drill down some numbers.
So if you're a number cruncher in an office, an accountant, or if you're some form of analyst, then you'll need to drill down into the numbers from time to time.
Your boss or supervisor or report line manager might ask you to drill down the numbers and give him some more detailed breakdowns.
Okay, so, for example, you might have given him a figure of the overheads of the business.
So it might be 10,000 a month or 1000 a month or whatever the figure happens to be.
