There is so much professional Business English vocabulary that we can use at work that originally came from sports! In this podcast we're talking about phrasal verbs, idioms, nouns and verbs that we can take from football, athletics, and the Olympic games, and use at work to improve the way that we communicate in English. So, if you want to express your ideas more clearly in meetings, explain your experience better in job interviews, or make your presentations sound a little more natural and native then hopefully you'll find this episode really useful. Also, if you're taking an IELTS test soon, either the general or academic test, then this is all great vocabulary to take into the exam with you. Especially for the speaking part of the test where informal, natural, and native vocabulary is encouraged!

Useful Expressions（常用表達）

C’era una volta un lupo, magro e affamato: erano diversi giorni che non trovava nulla da mettere sotto i denti. Un sera, passò davanti al cortile di una casa e vide un cane. Era un bel cane grassottello.  “Come mai sei così grassottello? Dove trovi tanto da mangiare?” chiese il lupo al cane.
“Il mio padrone è un brav’uomo: riempie la mia ciotola ogni giorno” gli rispose l’altro. 
Il lupo, però, si accorse che la pelliccia del cane, sul collo, era tutta rovinata.
“Cos’hai fatto al collo?” gli domandò. “E’ il collare: il mio padrone me lo mette di giorno, quando mi lega alla catena. La notte, invece, mi libera, così faccio la guardia”. Il lupo si allontanò e tornò nel bosco: preferisco mille volte andare dove voglio che avere la pancia piena ma vivere alla catena.

Morale della favola: la libertà non ha prezzo.
