| Phrase | delivery |
| Text | The word "delivery," in this podcast, means the process of transporting something and bringing it to the buyer or recipient: "Do you want our standard delivery, or overnight service?" The phrase "cash on delivery" describes a policy where someone pays for goods when they are received: "All our products are sold as cash on delivery. Just pay the delivery driver." The word "delivery" also means childbirth, or the process of giving birth to a child: "Did you go to the hospital for your baby's delivery, or did you give birth at home?" Finally, when talking about acting or giving a presentation, "delivery" refers to how well someone speaks in front of an audience: "The actress's delivery was so emotional that almost everyone in the audience began crying." Or, "The presenter was well prepared and had a lot of interesting visuals, but the delivery was a little boring." |
