Hello welcome to this Bizmates words
and phrases

video series. And today's phrase

is you're on the right track.

On the right track. What does this mean?

We will find out but first let's do our

test. Okay so I say to you.

You have given me feedback on my
report.

So I say Oh I guess I need to
change a lot of things in my report.

There're many mistakes. And you say,

There you go. That's right. I hope I
didn't offend you.

Did you get that? I hope so.

Okay let's go on to today's phrase.
You're on the right track.

Okay here's what I often hear. So Taro's
my colleague

and I say Taro I revised my report.

I know it was bad last time but I
changed it. How's my revised report?

And he says, hmm

it is good direction. What?

Direction? What do you mean direction? This is a little strange.

So Taro wants to say yes

it's I'm it's better. It's I'm going
in the right

way. Right? In the right direction.

I think the Japanese use that a lot. In the
right way.

So keep going. Keep continuing this. But
it's really strange

in English when you translate it. So

in this situation, we can say like this.

So if I ask Taro, how's my revised
report?

Is a better? And he says hmm,

you're on the right track. Oh good. Thank goodness. OK, I will continue doing

this.

Just like that. You're going in the right

direction, yeah. You're on the right track.

Okay so let's look at pronunciation. It's

hmm, with a pause and

you're on the right track.

It's not right track, but it's right track.

You're on the right track. Hmm, you're on
the right track.

You try. Good. Okay with my sentence.

Ah how's my revised report?

Oh great. Thanks for your feedback.

I'll finish the rest. Just like this.

For homework. I'm gonna ask you how's my revised report?

And you say, hmm you're on the right track.

Okay please remember this and we will
see you next time.

Thank you.
