Hi, so you want to improve your business English skills. In order to speak like and understand native speakers, it's important to understand the business idioms which native speakers use on a daily basis. In this podcast I will use 11 business idioms. See you if you can spot them. When you hear an idiom pause the podcast and write it down, then, next to the idiom, write the word or phrase which corresponds to the meaning of the idiom. Your task is to match the idioms to their meanings. I will do the first one for you as an example. In order to organize my tasks every day I have to get my ducks in a row. So the first idiom you should write down is 'get my ducks in a row'. The word you should write next to it is 'organize.' Now, let's get down to business.

¿Hola cómo estás?

This episode lets break down a sure fire way to describe a recent book that moved you and/or answering this will help build confidence for the IELTS examiner you will most certainly have related to this topic.

Think of a meeting and you might immediately imagine a large table with lots of chairs and people wearing suits.

Or perhaps you imagine a computer screen filled with your colleagues' faces.

But have you ever thought about having a meeting while going for a walk? Many of us already take calls while we're walking, but it's said that walking meetings are becoming more popular too.

Those who like them say it's good to get out of the formal office environment.

Robert Mitson from meeting management company Sherpany says talking to someone when you're walking side-by-side can create a more relaxed atmosphere.

In a small walking group, colleagues can also move from person to person more easily to have one-on-one chats — something that may not be so easy to do in an office or online.

Research has also found that walking can make you more creative, with experts saying that getting moving is a good way to think of new ideas.

And of course, walking is good for our bodies. So a walking meeting lets us get some exercise at the same time as working.

However, walking meetings may not be right for everyone — for example, people who find it difficult to walk, or if someone in the group needs to use a computer.

Others say they find it difficult to focus when they're out for a walk.

And if companies are going to try walking meetings, experts say it's a good idea to choose a quiet place with plenty of space.

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を楽しく勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

ぼくの日常生活の話を聞くことで、日本語のリスニングをよくしたり、新しい言葉を知ってもらえたらいいなと思います。


みなさんお元気でしょうか。
今日もジョージアでPodcastを録っています。

今回は確定申告について。
これは、Final tax return。

どこの国でも同じだと思いますが、
所得を計算して、税金の申告をするのが確定申告です。
これはフリーランスの話。

フリーランスの人は2/16-3/15の間に、
去年1年の収入、経費、所得、株の配当金、保険、医療費、など、すべての金額を申告します。

それで所得税や住民税などが決まります。



会社員の人は、会社で年末調整をします。
これは、Year-end adjustment。
去年の11月中にします。

先に税金を一定の金額、納めています。
だいたいが少し多く払っています。
払いすぎています。

この年末調整では、会社が従業員の正しい税金を計算して、払いすぎていた税金を返す、というものです。

　
税金の話はめんどくさいですけど、大切ですね。

みなさんの国では、どんな税金がありますか？

ぜひそんなことを教えてください！

ということで、今回は以上です！

最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！
