Hi guys, in this English lesson for daily stand-ups,

I want to talk about the question What is your biggest priority for today?

Okay, the first thing is that we say big, bigger, biggest.

It's my biggest priority.

Not the more big, the bigger, not there, the biggest.

The pronunciation, okay, so priority.

Four syllables in priority, right?

Syllable three is weak.

Priority.

And this is the second syllable strong.

Priority.

Okay, my biggest priority.

So different expressions to describe your biggest priority.

You can say, my biggest priority is,

my top priority for today is,

the most important thing on my list today is,

or my primary focus for today is,

or today my main goal is to.

The first expression we can use to talk about your biggest priority is to improve a feature.

So maybe you want to improve the user authentication and authorization,

data visualization, search functionality, who knows.

For example, my biggest priority for today is to improve the user authentication

The most important thing on my list today is to improve the data visualization feature to ensure

that our users can quickly and easily understand the data they are viewing.

My biggest priority for today is to improve the search functionality feature to ensure

to optimize a feature, and to polish a feature.

The next expression is to address bugs and issues.

So when we have this verb to address,

it talks about to handle,

to see and resolve problems in the software.

But the first syllable is not address, but it's address.

To address bugs and issues.

Not address, but address.

For example, my biggest priority is to address bugs and issues

that have been reported by users and fix them as quickly as possible.

then begin work on resolving them one by one.

The next expression is to review and merge code.

This is the idea or to verify,

to check and incorporate changes made by other team members into the code base.

You need to review it and merge.

Now, the important thing is about in the past tense, I review, okay?

And past pronunciations, I reviewed, reviewed.

And the next one is I merge.

So you can hear the jjjj at the end.

Merge.

Merge the code.

And you take this jjjjj, okay?

And then it becomes merged.

So you have merge, jjjj.

And then the D sound.

I merged the code.

And you also see this a lot in the passive voice as the code was merged or the code was merged successfully.

For example, my biggest priority is to review and merge the code changes

that were submitted by the development team to ensure that they have been merged successfully.

My My primary focus for today is to review

and merge the code changes that were submitted by the development team to ensure

that they are in line with the project requirements and standards.

My biggest priority for today is to check

that the code has been reviewed and merged correctly and that there are no conflicts or issues with the latest updates.

Next expression we can use to answer the question,

what is your number one priority is to catch up on.

To catch up on emails,

to catch up on tasks.

To catch up means to finish all the work you missed so that you are not behind and late.

It's like you have extra work or maybe work from yesterday that was not completed,

that you need to complete or for example you have 15 emails

that you did not answer and now you need to catch up on the emails.

So you can say to catch up on emails and tasks and the past of catch is caught.

This means again to finish all the work that you need to do

so that you are up to date and not behind anymore.

and tasks that have accumulated over the past few days and respond to any urgent requests or inquiries.

The primary focus for me today is to prioritize my tasks

and make sure that I get caught up on the most critical ones first

while delegating any non-essential tasks to other team members.

Today my main goal is to organize my inbox and task list and create a plan to catch up on my workload.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
