English Conversation Practice (Getting Ghosted) 👻

Hey, how are you? I'm doing terribly. 

Our contractor is ghosting us and our  kitchen is sitting there unfinished. 

If someone is ghosting you, this means  they've stopped communicating with you. 

They're not replying to any of your messages. But they never told you that they were going to  

stop communicating with you. They just ghosted you. 

And a client at work doesn't like any  of the creative that I've sent over,  

so I have to start over for that. It's back to the  drawing board after 2 weeks of working full tilt. 

Back to the drawing board means she's saving  nothing from what she's already done to work  

on this project, she has to start over  from the beginning with totally new ideas. 

If you're working full tilt on something,  that means you're putting in every bit of  

energy you have on that one thing.  All of your focus is going to get  

that done because you're working full tilt. They want a completely different direction,  

so I am starting from scratch. Just like 'back  to the drawing board', 'starting from scratch'  

means you're not using any of your previous  ideas or work. you're completely starting over.
