This is the fourth in a series of intermediate 1 business ESL podcasts that focus on business travel. In this series we’re following a group of trainees 3 who work for the telecommunications company Ambient as they visit their head office in Michigan in the U.S.


How do you make friendly chat with your colleagues? What kinds of topics can you talk about? We’ll be looking at some answers. In particular, we’ll cover informal greetings and how to chat about movies. As almost everyone loves to go to the cinema, movies are usually a good topic for small talk.


As our listening begins, it’s Monday morning. Honesto, a trainee 2 from the Philippines, says hello to his American colleague Brenda as she comes in to the office.


Listening Questions:

1) What does Brenda mean when she says “veg out”?

2) What are critics and what did they think about Rush Hour 3?

3) How does Brenda like her coffee?
