1
In today's lesson, you're going to improve your English skills by listening to a conversation
2
that takes place in a British office between a boss and his employee.
3
Don't worry if you don't understand every single word
4
and expression that's used because afterwards we're going to go through all the difficult vocabulary in detail.
5
And then it'll be your turn to improve your speaking practice by taking part in that conversation.
6
Hi, I'm Steve.
7
Let's do this.
8
I'd be obliged if that could all be on my desk before the close of play tomorrow.
9
OK, bye.
10
Hi.
11
I need to bring you up to speed on the sales negotiation I've been working on.
12
Joke my memory.
13
Wasn't that supposed to be all signed off tomorrow?
14
It was, but I'm afraid it's gone pear -shaped.
15
I don't like the sound of that.
16
Sit down, fill me in.
17
Even though it was a tough nut to crack, everything was on track, And then out of the blue,
18
I received an email saying that the other company was going with a different supplier.
19
Let's cut to the chase.
20
Did they shed any light on why?
21
Not as such.
22
But I think it's our projected delivery dates.
23
They're uncompetitive.
24
OK.
25
First, touch base with Jafar in logistics.
26
Tell him his top priority is to kick some arse and reduce our shipping times.
27
I'll get straight on it.
28
Then reach out to their purchasing manager and get me a sit down for this afternoon if possible.
29
No problem.
30
Finally, get your team together.
31
I need a full briefing on this before lunchtime.
32
We need to expedite this.
33
I'll organise that straight away.
34
I'm really sorry about this.
35
I'm sure it wasn't your fault and as of yet we haven't lost the deal.
36
So let's see if we can resolve it.
37
Now let's go through some of those tricky words and phrases that you may not have heard before.
38
First we heard the boss on his phone say, I'd be obliged if that could all be on my desk before the close of play tomorrow.
39
The word obliged is a very formal way of saying you're grateful or thankful.
40
It's not really used much outside of very formal situations.
41
He also used the phrase before the close of play tomorrow.
42
Before the close of play simply means before the business day ends and everyone goes home.
43
Next, we heard the reason why the employee was there.
44
I need to bring you up to speed on the sales negotiation I've been working on.
45
To bring someone up to speed means to give them the latest details.
46
The boss said, jog my memory, wasn't that supposed to be all signed off tomorrow?
47
And here, he was simply asking the employee to remind him of something, to jog his memory.
48
You can use this expression in both formal and casual conversations, like this.
49
I went to watch a football match yesterday.
50
Just jog my memory.
51
Who was playing?
52
It was Liverpool versus Manchester United.
53
Next was a lovely expression.
54
But I'm afraid it's gone pear -shaped.
55
And to go pear -shaped means things haven't gone as you planned them to.
56
In this case, the sales deal had gone pear -shaped.
57
The boss then said, I don't like the sound of that.
58
Sit down, fill me in.
59
And this phrasal verb, to fill in, means to inform someone of something.
60
The employee then filled in her boss.
61
Even though it was a tough nut to crack, everything was on track.
62
And then out of the blue, I received an email saying that the other company was going with a different supplier.
63
A tough nut to crack is a person or a thing that's difficult to get a good result from.
64
Learning English is a tough nut to crack.
65
To be on track means everything's going as planned,
66
it's running smoothly and out of the blue means to happen suddenly, without any warning.
67
The boss wanted answers.
68
Let's cut to the chase.
69
Did they shed any light on why?
70
To cut to the chase means only to discuss the really important things.
71
Cut to the chase. Who won?
72
Liverpool did.
73
The employee answered.
74
Not as such.
75
I think it's our projected delivery dates they're uncompetitive.
76
Not as such is another way of saying not exactly.
77
Use it like this.
78
Did Liverpool play well?
79
Not as such, but we won in the end.
80
Next came some strong words from the boss.
81
First, touch base with Jafar in logistics, telling his top priority is to kick some arse and reduce our shipping times.
82
To To kick some arse means to encourage someone very strongly to do something.
83
In the USA, it would be to kick some ass.
84
But we're learning British, so it's arse, not ass.
85
Kick some arse.
86
Next we heard, I'll get straight on it.
87
To get straight on something means to deal with it right away with no delays.
88
But the boss hadn't finished and said, reach out to their purchasing manager and get me a sit down for this afternoon if possible.
89
To reach out means to contact someone, maybe by telephone, maybe by email, to reach out.
90
And sit down, it means a meeting where all the people involved are actually present.
91
We also heard, we need to expedite this.
92
To expedite is a very formal way of saying to do something quickly, to expedite something.
93
It's not really used outside of a business or very formal situation.
94
Now for the most important part of this video.
95
It's your chance to use all that new vocabulary and also boost your speaking skills as you take part in that conversation.
96
Your words will appear on the screen as you need them.
97
I'd be obliged if that could all be on my desk before the close of play tomorrow.
98
Okay, bye.
99
Joke my memory.
100
Wasn't that supposed to be all signed off tomorrow?
101
I don't like the sound of that.
102
Sit down, fill me in.
103
Let's cut to the chase.
104
Did they shed any light on why?
105
okay first touch base with Jafar in logistics tell him his top priority is to kick some arse
106
and reduce our shipping times Then,
107
reach out to their Purchasing Manager and get me a sit down for this afternoon if possible.
108
Finally, get your team together.
109
I need a full briefing on this before lunchtime.
110
We need to expedite this.
111
I'm sure it wasn't your fault, and as of yet, we haven't lost the deal.
112
So let's see if we can resolve it.

Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
