Hi

Hello Business English learners! Are there any *bottlenecks* in processes at your work? Or maybe all of your processes are very efficient :) Here's an example of "bottleneck": "Two employees have to deal with all of the paperwork for all projects, and it's causing a huge bottleneck. We need to assign people to that part of the process" Do you know what "bottleneck" in this context means?

A major change is ......... . . . . . big and important / small and unimportant?

It’s sunny today. In science class, we studied about plants. I found two concepts particularly important: transpiration and respiration. In my own words, plants "sweat" and "eat"or "digest." They have stomata to release excess water when they’ve absorbed too much, helping to maintain their balance. The mitochondria play a key role in respiration, taking in energy from the sugar that chloroplasts produce in the leaves. I’m starting to wonder that plants are an opposite life form of animals. They don’t move around, they make their own food, they inhale carbon dioxide, and exhale oxygen — it’s as if they’re doing everything inversely.

It is a small problem. I can ......... it. . . . . fixing or fix?

Which one means 'happening or related to the countryside?' . a. Urban ? b. Rural ?

It was hard but I kept ......... . . . . . to try or trying?

It’s idiom time! Good Luck…..
