Delivery voicemail corrections
A delivery message can correct an arrival time, part of a reference code or a collection location. Listen for the replacement detail and keep the words that define the time window. The written examples and separate recordings use different details, so do not assume every message has the same time or code.
-
Changing a plan
A changed plan keeps an activity but alters a detail, such as its time or place. A canceled plan does not go ahead as arranged. Listen to the whole exchange to find out what the friends decide and whether they accept a replacement plan.
-
Word of mouth
Word of mouth describes information, recommendations, or news passed directly from person to person through informal conversation rather than paid advertising or official announcements.

Up to scratch
Up to scratch means good enough for the task or purpose. It does not mean perfect. Come up to scratch means reaching the required standard, while bring something up to scratch means improving it so it meets that standard.
-
영상 · 8분 Up in the air
The idiom 'up in the air' means that a matter, plan, or decision is not yet certain or decided, often because additional facts or choices are needed. It does not mean the event is cancelled, impossible, or literally high above the ground; rather, it describes a situation that remains unsettled until a resolution arrives.
-
Touch a nerve
To touch a nerve means to say something that causes an immediate sensitive, defensive, or upset reaction because it mentions an uncomfortable topic.
-
Torn between
To be torn between two possibilities means to find choosing very difficult because both have strong attractions or important consequences.

To pull the plug
To 'pull the plug' means to deliberately stop an activity, service, or project from continuing. It often involves withdrawing financial support, practical help, or official permission.
-
To not lift a finger
Not lift a finger means to do nothing, or make very little effort, to help with something. It is often an emphatic complaint rather than a literal measurement of every action.
-
To jump ship
Jump ship means leaving an organization, group, or activity, often to join another or avoid difficulties. It can suggest a change of loyalty or abandonment, but it does not by itself establish a crisis.
-
To get a word in edgeways
To get a word in edgeways means to find a brief opening to speak while another person or group talks almost continuously.
-
To cut it fine
To cut it fine means to allow barely enough, or possibly not enough, time, money, or another resource for a task. In everyday English, barely enough means only just enough. A person who cuts it fine leaves almost no extra room for delays, errors, or unexpected obstacles.
-
To bend over backwards
To bend over backwards means to make an extraordinary effort to help, please, or support someone. The expression describes significant exertion and personal inconvenience rather than physical movement. It goes well beyond ordinary politeness or routine courtesy.
-
The final straw
The final straw refers to the latest problem in an ongoing series of difficulties that convinces someone they can no longer tolerate a situation. The event itself can be relatively small, but its timing after earlier troubles makes it decisive.
