Learning Hook (Zoe’s Grammar & Vocabulary Corner):

Zoe explains key workplace phrases like “I appreciate the support,” “I trust you to handle this,” and “Let’s be realistic about the timeline.” 

•          “follow up” — checking progress or confirming completion

•          “flag anything that needs a decision” — bringing attention to issues early

•          shared‑responsibility phrases like “I can handle that” and “I’ll keep everyone informed”

These phrases help teams and individuals communicate confidently in real workplace situations.
