Hey guys,
“Read the room” is a great phrase in the English language. You can use it in  business English and ordinary conversations as well.
It simply means to evaluate/assess a person or group of people (usually in a room) to determine what the general mood is (and how to best communicate with them).
Ex: After reading the room, she decided to shorten her presentation.

Take care (-;

Hey guys,
Here is a phrasal verb in English. The verb "tap" usually refers to accessing beer from a barrel. 
Based on this we have “tap into” which simply means access.
Ex: Cigarette companies are always trying to tap into the teen market - this is both unethical and illegal.
