Hello English learners, welcome back to EnglishPod.

And we're bringing you another great elementary lesson today, one that takes place at the office.

Today, we're going to teach you some great phrases so that you can ask people to help you.

And I think this dialogue is with a new person at the office.

So when you're new, you always need to ask people for favors.

So, you know, like, can you pass me that pencil?

Or maybe, can you pick me up on your way to work?

So that's what we're going to be talking about.

Because you always have to do this at work.

At work, with your friends, with your family.

So let's listen to the dialogue and then we'll come back and explain all the vocabulary.

I'm getting ready for a very important meeting.

Excuse me, but can I bother you for a second?

I'd love to help you, but I'm about to meet an important client.

Actually, I'm working on a document that's due in a couple of minutes.

I just want to know where the bathroom is.

Now let's take a look at the language from the dialogue.

There's some great language in this dialogue, wasn't there?

Yeah, a lot of interesting phrases and words.

The first one that I saw that was really interesting is on board.

Well, we've got some examples of how this phrase is used.

So let's listen to them to help us understand the meaning.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me.

We need to get our new office assistant on board as soon as possible.

We decided to bring Melissa on board to join the marketing team.

So on board is the same as to the company.

I guess also when you get on a ship, they'll tell you welcome on board.

So this is a great phrase to explain that you're about to do something.

So, for example, you can say I'm about to go out for lunch.
