    I believe that this is the right way forward. I stated something factual. Right now I have to make a priority my health again so I can be there for those who matter most.

    1- The movie was really interesting and I can't wait to see part two.
    2 - Nora is stuck in traffic and decisively runs late for the meeting.
    3 - Our team necessarily needs to prioritize tasks that must be finished before the product launches.

I try to answer great assignment you gave. ①The movie is the most interesting I have ever seen and I can't wait to see part two. ②Nora is stuck in traffic and she will run late for the meeting. ③I am certainly our team needs to prioritize tasks that must be finished before the product launches. That is all. Please take care of yourself.

      Good alternative! I see there is one important word missing to make this sentence work. Here is the original sentence, "I think our team needs to prioritize tasks that should be completed before the product launches."
      Can you identify which word to include in your example?

      @Speakconfidentenglish  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Aisha, thanks for the question. To run late means to arrive and/or leave later than the time that is expected and, as a result, you may need to hurry.

    What assertive means ? And how can we use it in a context?

    • @Speakconfidentenglish
      @Speakconfidentenglish  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Good question. To be assertive is to be characterized by bold or confident statements and behavior. So rather than being suggestive about your ideas/intentions, you're stating what you want with bold clarity.
