# 2 My typical day  (+transcription)

What’s up everyone, in today’s episode, I’m going to focus on a game developed by Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks in 2012 called Dishonored. It’s a pretty nice action-stealth game featuring political conspiracy, vengeance story and black magic in an environment inspired by the best steampunk fictions. Enjoy.

Here is the link to the transcript (including also the game’s webpage): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IPyCE5HZuD9F2vw3fTOzvQYDs6j1dzr_3AH_gaiItac/edit


For gamers out there

Teamwork and collaboration are two of the most important topics in Business English. Today let's listen to some vocabulary, grammar, phrases, idioms and ideas for speaking about this in English. As an international professional you are always collaborating with colleagues from around the world, working together to complete projects and deliver great work. Learning and understanding how we can work together better, build better teams, and have better relationships with our team mates is key to being the best professional possible.  If you're listening on Apple podcasts please don't forget to leave a review, it really helps me out!

Listening to what your colleagues have to say, and also expressing your own ideas, making as few mistakes as possible, and creating great sentences can be a challenge that many people find really difficult.

In this podcast we're going to be listening to several tips for improving your teamwork and collaboration skills, we'll look at the vocabulary and business English that can really help us to use those tips, then at the end we'll have a short quiz to see how much of what we talk about you can remember.
