Please correct my sentences Hello all,

I have tried to make sentences (especially for business) using some phrasal verbs.

Could someone correct them or suggest better one?

1. branch out=expand

We prefer branching out into the new project rather than keeping the current business.

2. break into=enter

The company decided to break into the new project on the automatic driving.

3. carry on=continue

Let’s carry on discussion until the time is over.

4. close down=stop operating

The management decided to close down the plant because the strikes happened off and on the past few years.

5. step down=resign

Our general manager stepped down and a replacement has been assigned since this April.

6. take up (something )=occupy

Many agendas took up the meeting time, so our proposed agenda was not discussed at all.

7. carry out =perform

Can you prepare some materials for the presentation and carry it out at the meeting next week?

8. come up=happen

The urgent direction came up from the management yesterday, so we are very busy today.

9. get on=make progress

I got many calls from our customers today, so I could not get on with my work very much.

10. keep up with=follow

We have had a lot to do recently, so we are not keeping up with your task.

Thank you for your patience!

Descriptive practice Hi there!

Now I am practicing to describe what I feel/imagine when I see a picture.

Following is about a picture of a woman standing beside a new shop.

Could anyone correct it? Thank you!

"A woman is standing beside a new shop. This is the opening day of her own shop. She has dreamed to have her shop for a long time so that she has spent so much time to study many things - how to have own shop and operate it, how to hire new employees and what she should do to increase the sales.

Of course she has worked really hard to earn money. Sometimes she went to another work at night after she finished her work in the evening.

She felt sometimes anxiety especially she was exhausted. However in case of such a time, she remembered what she was hoping."

Descriptive practice Hi there! Now I am practicing to describe what I imagine when I see a picture. The following desciption is about the picture of fight by young people. Can anybody correct it? Thank you! There are 6 people in the picture. They seems very incensed and outraged. I imagine, that they were the spectators of the baseball game in the stadium last night. The referee's decision made them frastrated so that they started fighting with the funs of another team. Their fight influenced other people and then another clash happened near there. After their fight, they found themselves somewhat injured. They felt regretful what they did each other and considered not to do that anymore in public because few children saw it at that time.

I missed a train today Please correct me if you have time. I have small children, so I don't have much time to study English at home. This evening when I got back to home from my office, I intensionally missed two trains at the station. Then I I did Duolingo during I was waiting for the next train. This made me quite a bit happy :)

Meaning of "overhype" Hi there!

I saw the phrases below on YouTube, but I'm not sure if I understand the meaning of "overhyped" and "it lived up to the hype" in this. Could anybody rephrase it, or can we have another way of saying for them?

" I thought that movie was gonna be overhyped because everyone is saying that it was a really good movie but I actually thought it lived up to the hype."

Thank you!

Are these phrases correct? Hi there, I saw the phrase below in duolingo.

" It is almost twice the size. "

So, how about following phrases? I would like to know these are correct.

1. It is almost a half the size

2. It is almost a half the age (for instance, I am 40 year-old and my son is 19 year-old)
