学べること
C1レベルの皆さん、こんにちは!この章では、人生の大きな変化や予期せぬトラブルを、洗練された英語でスマートに乗りこなすための表現をマスターします。上級者への階段を上るには、単に事実を述べるだけでなく、状況の変化やそれに対する自分の姿勢を的確に伝える「語彙の繊細さ」が求められます。例えば、社会に変化を巻き起こす「bring about」や、古い慣習を廃止する「do away with」を使えば、あなたの言葉に強い意志とプロフェッショナルな響きが加わります。また、楽しみにしていたプロジェクトが「fall through(白紙になる)」してしまった時や、厳しい現実に「face up to(向き合う)」必要がある時など、ビジネスや日常のシリアスな場面で欠かせない句動詞を重点的に学びます。失敗をポジティブに挽回する「make up for」まで使いこなせれば、人間関係の構築もより建設的になるでしょう。この章を終える頃には、複雑な状況下でも自分の考えを堂々と、そしてエレガントに伝えられる自信が身についているはずです。一歩先の流暢さを目指して、一緒に頑張りましょう!

Common Mistakes
- 1✗ Wrong: We need to face the truth.
face the truth is understandable, face up to carries the stronger idiomatic meaning of confronting an unpleasant or difficult reality, often after avoiding it.- 1✗ Wrong: The project failed because of budget cuts.
Fell through specifically describes plans, deals, or arrangements that collapse or don't happen as intended, which is more precise than simply saying the project failed in this context.- 1✗ Wrong: They want to remove the old rule.
Do away with implies a permanent, often decisive, elimination of a system, rule, or habit, making it stronger and more specific than remove.Real Conversations

You can use
Our plans fell throughto indicate that an arrangement or deal collapsed, often due to external circumstances. It's a common and idiomatic expression.
What’s the difference between cause and bring about?
While cause is a general verb, bring about often implies a more significant, profound, or formal initiation of change. It's frequently used for large-scale developments or complex processes.
Is do away with too informal for business contexts?
Do away with is generally quite direct and can be used in both formal and informal contexts, though in very formal reports you might opt for abolish or eliminate. However, in discussions, it sounds natural.
When would I use make up for instead of just compensate?
Make up for specifically implies balancing a negative situation with a positive action or quality, often in a personal or relational context. You make up for a mistake, a lost opportunity, or a bad experience.
