Chào mừng bạn quay trở lại với Business English Pod cho bài học hôm nay về Tiếng Anh có quan hệ với implementing a plan.
Everyone knows that you have to plan for the future. But many “plans” are only that: they are just plans. But a plan is only useful if it leads to action. Hoặc là, as a wise man once said: a plan without action is a dream wasted. In order to not waste that dream, we need to implement the plans we create.
Trong bài học hôm nay, we’ll hear a discussion about how to implement a marketing plan. And you’ll hear lots of common expressions we use when talking about implementation. These expressions are called “collocations,” which just means a set of words that usually go together. Ví dụ, have you heard the expression “put something into action?” That’s a common collocation that means “to implement.” We don’t say “make something into action” or “activate something.” It’s always “put something into action.”
You can learn these natural combinations of words used by native speakers. Studying Tiếng Anh will help you sound more natural and expand your active vocabulary. Khi bạn nghe hộp thoại của ngày hôm nay, try to catch some of these collocations, and we’ll go over them later in the debrief.

Trong kinh doanh, good planning is important, whether you’re talking about a long-term strategy or a short-term project. But a plan itself means nothing without action. It’s not what you decide to do that matters, but what you actually do. And what you actually do with a plan is called “implementation.” Implementing a plan is all about deciding who will do what, and when they will do it.
Trong bài học này, we’ll listen in on a meeting about how to implement a marketing plan. Trong cuộc thảo luận, you’ll hear lots of useful expressions that we call “collocations.” A collocation is a natural combination or group of words. Ví dụ, I’ve already used the collocation “to implement a plan.” We don’t say “do a plan” or “activate a plan.” The natural expression is “to implement a plan.”
Native speakers use collocations like this automatically, and you can learn to use them as well. By studying Tiếng Anh, bạn sẽ cải thiện vốn từ vựng của mình và nghe trôi chảy hơn. Khi bạn nghe hộp thoại, cố gắng chọn ra một vài trong số những ảnh ghép này và chúng tôi sẽ thảo luận về chúng sau.
