Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate term or expression. Remember to conjugate any verbs appropriately!

a launch | to break even | a chart | to recall | to keep up to date | a table | to do well

"I recall 1 Geoffrey saying that he enjoyed skiing. Let's get him skis for his birthday!".

"Last week, we finally broke even 2: we had invested a lot of money in our business, and from now on we will be making a profit!"

"Bruno keeps up to date 3 with business news by reading his favourite magazine: 'Management Monthly".
1 recall: "Recall" is the best choice here. To "recall" something is to "remember" it. Here, the speaker is saying that they "remember" someone talking about skiing. Another example: "I can't recall the man's name, but his face was amazing".
2 broke even: "Broke even" is the right answer here. To "break even" is to earn or "win back" an amount equal to that invested, usually in a business venture. Example: "I've invested 4000$ in a sausage company. The boss says he's sure they'll break even within a month".
3 keeps up to date: "Keeps up to date" is the best answer here. To "keep up to date" is to stay informed about recent developments, events, and news in a certain subject. Example: "I enjoy keeping up to date about developments in neuroscience".
