Phrase | mission |
Text | The word "mission," in this podcast, means an important and adventurous job that one must do: "The team is on a mission to raise sales by 40% in six months." A "mission" is also the work that a group of Christians do when they go to another country to teach people about their religion: "Gabriela is on a two-year mission trip in Ghana." Most businesses and organizations have a "mission statement," which describes their purpose, or the reason that they exist. For example, Google's mission statement is "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful." Finally, when someone finishes a difficult project, or something that has taken a lot of time and effort, he or she might say "Mission accomplished!" to show that he or she is proud of having finished the work. |
