English easy practice.
Imagine this. You worked hard on a
project. You prepared everything. You
walked into your boss's office and you
said, "Can I have more time for this?"
And your boss said, "No."
What do you say next?
Do you know the right words in English?
Most English learners go quiet in that
moment. They feel nervous. They don't
know what to say.
Today, we will change that.
Welcome to English easy practice.
In this lesson, you will learn real
English phrases for difficult
conversations at work.
You will listen to a real conversation.
You will learn important vocabulary. You
will practice speaking out loud. And you
will do shadowing practice to sound
natural and confident.
Watch this video every day for one week
and you will feel much more confident at
work. Are you ready? Let's begin.
First, you will listen to a short
conversation.
Two people are talking at work. Lisa
wants more time to finish a big project.
Her boss, Mr. Park, says no. Listen
carefully. Try to understand the main
idea. Don't worry about every single
word.
Mr. Park, do you have a minute?
>> Sure, Lisa. What's on your mind?
>> It's about the project report.
I'm working very hard on it, but I need
a few more days to finish it properly.
I understand, Lisa,
but the deadline is Friday. I can't
change it.
The client is waiting.
>> I see.
Can I ask what is the most important
part for the client?
>> They really need the sales numbers.
The rest can come later.
>> Okay.
So, if I finish the sales section by
Friday and send the full report next
Monday,
would that work?
>> H, that could work.
But the sales numbers must be ready by
Friday.
No exceptions.
>> Absolutely.
I will make sure of that.
Thank you for listening, Mr. Park.
>> Good. I appreciate your effort, Lisa.
Come to me if you have any problems.
>> I will. Thank you.
>> Now, let's learn some important words
and phrases from the conversation. I
will explain each one. I will give you
easy examples. Try to repeat after me.

Remember, repetition is the key to
speaking English fluently.
Watch this video many times. Answer out
loud every time. You will improve faster
than you think.
Now it's time to practice speaking. I
will ask you questions about the
conversation.
Listen carefully. Answer out loud before
I give the correct answer.
Don't be shy. Speaking out loud, even
alone, is the fastest way to improve.
Ready? Let's go.
>> Answer the questions out loud.
Mr. Park, do you have a minute?
Did Lisa ask her boss for a minute?
>> Yes, she did. She asked her boss for a
minute.
>> Sure, Lisa. What's on your mind?
>> It's about the project report.
I'm working very hard on it, but I need

project report.
I understand, Lisa,
but the deadline is Friday. I can't
change it.
The client is waiting.
>> Did Mr. Park change the deadline?
No, he didn't. He didn't change the
deadline.
Why can't Mr. Park changed the deadline?
Because the client is waiting.
I see.
Can I ask what is the most important
part for the client?
Did Lisa give up after her boss said no?
No, she didn't. She asked a smart
question.

was for the client.
>> They really need the sales numbers.
The rest can come later.

Did Lisa find a solution?
Yes, she did. She suggested a solution.
What was Lisa's solution?
Finish the sales section by Friday. Send
the full report on Monday.
>> H, that could work.
But the sales numbers must be ready by
Friday.
No exceptions.
Did Mr. Park accept Lisa's idea?
Yes, he did. But the sales numbers must
be ready by Friday.
What does no exceptions mean?
It means the rule is for everyone.
Nobody gets extra time.
Absolutely.
I will make sure of that.
Thank you for listening, Mr. Park.
Good. I appreciate your effort, Lisa.
>> Was Mr. Park happy with Lisa?
>> Yes, he was. He appreciated her effort.
What does I appreciate your effort mean?
It means thank you for working hard. I
see your effort.
You did great.
Now, think about this. Lisa's boss said
no. But Lisa didn't panic. She didn't go
quiet. She asked a smart question.
She found a solution and her boss said
yes.
That is real English communication. That
is what you are learning today.
Now let's do shadowing practice.
You will hear one speaker's line. Listen
carefully, then say it out loud. After
that, you read the other speaker's line
yourself. Copy the rhythm, the tone, and
the pronunciation.
This will help you sound natural and
confident in real conversations.
If it is too fast, pause the video.
Repeat as many times as you need. Let's
begin.
Mr. Park, do you have a minute?
It's about the project report.
I'm working very hard on it, but I need
a few more days to finish it properly.
I see.
Can I ask what is the most important
part for the client?

So, if I finish the sales section by
Friday and send the full report next
