Welcome to English in a Minute.

Some people use a large ball for exercise.

Is that what to get on the ball means? Hi, Anna.

How has your day been? Great. Very great. Very productive.

I finished three reports and have only one more to do. Wow.

You are on the ball.

How did you do them so fast? Coffee. Lots of coffee. Do you want some? I'll get it. I'd love more coffee. Thank you.

Sure, but maybe not that much coffee.

Someone who is on the ball finishes work quickly and ahead of time.

We can also say a person should get on the ball when they need to work faster or better.

And that's English in a Minute. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it.
