Over the past few weeks, I've been talking about idioms

and expressions that are commonly used in

And I wanted to give you the opportunity to practise

with the correct tone, pronunciation, intonation

to practise your speaking skills with me,

and later in the lesson, I'll share one way that you can

keep practising what you learn in this lesson

Then you'll hear me say the same thing again

So that just means you'll copy and repeat

That way, you can copy the natural rhythm in my voice.

Well, actually I'm not even supposed to be

I've taken on a new role in the sales team

but my workload is just getting a bit out of hand.

I did yesterday's presentation completely off-the-cuff!

I was seriously considering jumping ship!

Really! Almost half the team had lost their jobs!

Luckily, we've since got a new general manager

and I think I told you about her, didn't I?

but things are finally getting back on track!

You can learn more about stress syllables

and that's when you need to imitate what I said

exactly as I said it, exactly how I said it.

So try to copy the intonation and the tone in my voice

I'm not even supposed to be attending this conference,

on my project management skills actually.

I've even started giving weekly presentations

But go back six months and it was a very different story
