跟读练习: Essential Phrasal Verbs for Accountants - 通过视频学习英语口语

In today's class, I'll be teaching you the essential phrasal verbs every accountant needs to know.

So if you're looking to sound more natural and speak more efficiently, make sure you watch this class right until the end.

So our first one is zero out.

So if you zero out something, it means you make the general ledger balance zero.

Okay, so let's imagine you have a clearing account

and this clearing account needs to be zero at the end of the month.

You could say at the end of the month, we are going to zero out the clearing account.

Or if you had a WIP account, okay, you could say last month I zeroed out all the WIP accounts.

In both cases, I made the balance zero.

Then we have roll forward.

So let's imagine you have a tax calculation from last year

and your boss wants you to replicate

that calculation for this year's numbers he may say to you

can you roll forward the tax calculation from last year to

this year what he's saying is can you update the previous periods figures with the current periods figures?

So when you roll forward something,

you're asking someone or you're telling someone that you're going to replace the previous figures with the current figures.

And you can use that for files, reports, or calculations.

Our next one is drill down.

So if you wanted to look at a general ledger account in detail

or you wanted to investigate a variance this would be the phrasal verb to use so

if your payroll expense was over budget by ten thousand dollars

you could say to someone i need to drill down into

the payroll expense account to understand why we're over budget then we have top up

so we're talking about provisions accruals prepayments and we want to increase the balance from one number

to a higher number we're going to use top up okay

so i could say we need to top up the provision from 100 000 to 120 000

or can we top up the prepayments account from a hundred dollars to 110

and our fifth phrasal verb is be made up of okay it is a synonym of the word consist of

or comprised of we're talking about the components of something okay

so let's imagine you're trying to describe the components of your costs of goods sold you could say,

cost of goods sold is made up of raw material, labor, and machine costs.

Or you might say, our team is made up of five people.

And our last phrasal verb, and probably the most popular, is break down.

So when we break down something we mean we want to separate things into smaller components

so we can analyze them okay

so you could ask someone can you break down the payroll costs into departments

or could you break down the revenue by customer

什么是跟读法？

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
