1
In today's class, I'll be teaching you the essential phrasal verbs every accountant needs to know.
2
So if you're looking to sound more natural and speak more efficiently, make sure you watch this class right until the end.
3
So our first one is zero out.
4
So if you zero out something, it means you make the general ledger balance zero.
5
Okay, so let's imagine you have a clearing account
6
and this clearing account needs to be zero at the end of the month.
7
You could say at the end of the month, we are going to zero out the clearing account.
8
Or if you had a WIP account, okay, you could say last month I zeroed out all the WIP accounts.
9
In both cases, I made the balance zero.
10
Then we have roll forward.
11
So let's imagine you have a tax calculation from last year
12
and your boss wants you to replicate
13
that calculation for this year's numbers he may say to you
14
can you roll forward the tax calculation from last year to
15
this year what he's saying is can you update the previous periods figures with the current periods figures?
16
So when you roll forward something,
17
you're asking someone or you're telling someone that you're going to replace the previous figures with the current figures.
18
And you can use that for files, reports, or calculations.
19
Our next one is drill down.
20
So if you wanted to look at a general ledger account in detail
21
or you wanted to investigate a variance this would be the phrasal verb to use so
22
if your payroll expense was over budget by ten thousand dollars
23
you could say to someone i need to drill down into
24
the payroll expense account to understand why we're over budget then we have top up
25
so we're talking about provisions accruals prepayments and we want to increase the balance from one number
26
to a higher number we're going to use top up okay
27
so i could say we need to top up the provision from 100 000 to 120 000
28
or can we top up the prepayments account from a hundred dollars to 110
29
and our fifth phrasal verb is be made up of okay it is a synonym of the word consist of
30
or comprised of we're talking about the components of something okay
31
so let's imagine you're trying to describe the components of your costs of goods sold you could say,
32
cost of goods sold is made up of raw material, labor, and machine costs.
33
Or you might say, our team is made up of five people.
34
And our last phrasal verb, and probably the most popular, is break down.
35
So when we break down something we mean we want to separate things into smaller components
36
so we can analyze them okay
37
so you could ask someone can you break down the payroll costs into departments
38
or could you break down the revenue by customer
39
and that's our class on the essential phrasal verbs every accountant needs to know

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
