I agree with your point about office romances. In particular, if they break up, then will cause bad effect.Their relationship maybe will from lover into enemies.
Delete1. I have heard get to know someone better, ask out.I haven't heard freak out,or anything,I hear you, is the last thing I need, turn down.
ReplyDelete2. I think I can use know someone better,I hear you in the future. It's always say in chat,if someone share me something,I can use I hear you.If someone I want to know more I can say I want know you better.
3. get t' is a pronuciation change from get to.
I hear ya is a pronuciation change from I hear you.
fer is a pronuciation change from for.
4.If a couple broke up, they also work in the same company, if they meet each other, it will be very embarrassed. Some people will hate each other and have a bad influence to the work. If they work in a team,maybe they can not work with ex girlfriend or ex boyfriend any more, they will go to another compnay.
I agree with you Yuting that will really affect the work and their job
Delete1- I have heared befoer ( I hear ya) that mean ( hear you ).
ReplyDeleteI didn't hear before (freak out)
2- I hear ya.
3- Freak out, (for) change to fer, (Yes) change to Uh huh.
4- The office romance is complicated if they broke that romantic time they can't working at same office.
I agree with you if the office romance is not going to work out, it could feel embarrassing or not willing to work for eachother.
Delete1, I hear "or anything", "ask out", "get to know better" before,
ReplyDeleteI never hear "freak out", "...is the last thing I need", "I hear ya", "turn down".
2, I think "I hear ya" and "ask out" I will use a lot in journey speaking.
3, "get t' " is a pronunciation change from get to. "ya" is a pronunciation change from I hear you. "fer" is a pronunciation change from for.
4, I think office romance will effect people's emotion in work, they may can not focus on work.
1/ I've heard " get to know you better"
ReplyDeleteAnd I've never heard " to ask (someone) out".
2/ freak ( someone) out , turn (someone) down.
3/ an example: Ya is a pronounciation change from You.
4/ it won't make people as serious because they will be focusing on romance and how can the other person like me instead of think effectively in the work itself.

4.Office is a serious workplace. Business is one kind of a relationship which includes profession, career and group benefits. Love is another. People are excited about it sometimes.If it works,someone may have to leave the company for the benefits of the team organization .Not too many people want to risk their job security. If it's not gonna work, people will risk both of their personal relationship and career opportunities.
