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! 

For non-native English speakers, and people who speak English as a 2nd language, (second language speakers), working in teams can be challenging. 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.

U ovoj kratkoj epizodi izlažemo jednu dnevnu rutinu. Od ujutru, kada se probudimo, do uveče kada se pripremamo za spavanje!
____________________________
MOJ DAN
Svaki dan se budim oko devet. Odmah raspremim svoj krevet i krenem u kupatilo da se sredim. U kupatilu se istuširam, obučem, operem zube i očešljam. Obično ne perem kosu ujutru jer uglavnom nemam dovoljno vremena. Skoro uvek perem kosu uveče ili kada se vratim sa fakulteta.
Posle toga, naparvim doručak, ali ne doručkujem često. Uglavnom jedem tek kasnije oko 12 ili 1. Doktor mi je rekao da to nije dobro, ali za mene nije dobro ni da jedem rano ujutru jer se ne osećam kako treba.
Nakon toga, idem na fakultet. Na fakultetu obično ostanem oko 3 ili 4 sata. Iako je to kratko vreme- skoro uvek sam jako umorna kada se vratim kući. 
Ja živim sa tri drugarice. Jana je najstarija i ona studira japanski. Marija studira medicinu. Ja mislim da je medicina baš teška, ali Marija to voli. Lana je mladja od svih nas i ona je brucoš na matematičkom fakultetu. To je još jedan predmet koji ja ne volim, i loša sam u matematici. 
Nas tri se lepo slažemo i volimo živeti zajedno. Upoznale smo se slučajno ali je meni jako drago što se to dogodilo.
Uveče kada krenem na spavanje, volim da razgovaram sa nekim na telefon. Na primer sa dečkom, sa svojom porodicom, ili sa nekim drugaricama. Obožavam da gledam filmove i serije. Takodje, volim da jedem nešto slatko i pijem kafu dok gledam svoju omiljenu dramu. 


Slušaj me!

Calling for Help
PETER: Hey! That car just ran a red light and hit that truck!
GAIL: Is anyone hurt?
PETER: I don’t know … let’s call 911. … Hello? I’d like to report
a car accident near the post office on Charles Street.
It looks like a man is hurt. Yes, it just happened. OK, 
thanks. Bye.
GAIL: What did they say?
PETER: They’re going to send an ambulance and a police car 
right away.
GAIL: Good, they’re here. I hope the man is OK.
PETER: I know. You have to be so careful when you’re driving.


LANGUAGE NOTES
• Hey! This expression is used to show surprise. Notice how That car just ran a red light
and hit that truck! is said with a lot of energy.
• Is anyone hurt? This is a yes/no question, so the intonation rises at the end. Notice 
how this question is asked in a worried way.
• 911 is the phone number you dial for emergency services. The person who answers 
will ask you questions about the emergency situation and then send out the necessary 
emergency services, which may include police officers, firefighters and an ambulance.
• I’d like to report a car accident near the post office on Charles Street. Notice how 
the key words “car accident,” “post office” and “Charles Street” are stressed. These are 
the important details that the emergency services need. 
• It just happened is a way of saying “It happened a moment ago.” Notice the stress on 
“just,” which emphasizes that the accident happened very, very recently.
• What did they say? Notice how “say” is emphasized, but the intonation falls at the end 
of the word. This is a “what” question, so the intonation falls at the end
