Text | In this podcast, the word "reference" means an evaluation of a person as an employee, made by someone who knows one professionally, usually when one is applying for a job: "People have to send a list of three references when they apply for that job." The phrase "with reference to (something)" means regarding or about: "Hello, I'm calling with reference to your ad to sell your car." When writing an academic paper, a "reference" is a book or article that one used to find information: "Don't forget to list your references at the end of your essay." Finally, as a verb, "to make a reference to" means to refer or to mention a book, article, or other source of information that one used while writing a paper: "Did you make a reference to any books from other countries, or did you read books only by American authors?" |
