It’s almost time for the World Cup! And as we wait for the games to kick off, here’s a question for you: Bạn đã bao giờ dừng lại để nghĩ xem có bao nhiêu điểm tương đồng giữa kinh doanh và thể thao?

Các nhóm nhân viên làm việc cùng nhau như một nhóm. Đội, hoặc các công ty, cạnh tranh với nhau, cố gắng giành được sự công nhận, lợi nhuận, hoặc khách hàng mới. Với những điểm tương đồng này, không có gì ngạc nhiên khi ngôn ngữ sẽ giống nhau khi chúng ta nói về kinh doanh và thể thao. Và một số môn thể thao khác nhau đã đóng góp thành ngữ cho ngôn ngữ tiếng Anh.

Hôm nay, our focus will be on football idioms. Khi bạn nghe hộp thoại, bạn có thể nghe thấy một số cụm từ mới đối với bạn. Remembering the relationship between business and sports may help you out. Tất nhiên rồi, we’ll go over all of them in the debrief and you’ll have a chance to practice them, cũng vậy.

We’ll be listening to Karl and Marilyn, two friends that work at a publishing firm. Karl is thinking about applying for a manager’s job at the company’s Sydney location. He’s not sure about it, though, vì vậy anh ấy hỏi Marilyn cô ấy nghĩ gì.

Tiếng Anh thương mại, Từ Vựng Tiếng Anh Thương Mại, Thành ngữ kinh doanh, Tài chính và kế toán /

Đây là phần thứ hai của hai phần Business English Pod series on idioms related to money.

Many of our day-to-day business transactions involve money, so it’s common to hear money idioms used frequently in business discussions. We use them to talk about handling money and to describe situations with lots of money or no money at all. But we also use them to talk about situations that have nothing to do with money – such as evaluating ideas or speculating on their impact.

Trong tập cuối, we met Kevin and Leah, two employees at a cosmetics company. They’re planning a promotional campaign on a small budget. So they’re brainstorming ideas that will spark customer interest at a reasonable cost.

Hiện nay, they’re thinking of ways to show that their company’s cosmetics line is good value for money-conscious consumers.

Câu hỏi nghe

1. What idea does Kevin suggest at the beginning of the dialog?
2. What are two things the company will have to do if it accepts Kevin’s idea?
3. What are Leah’s concerns about the idea?

Tiếng Anh thương mại, Từ Vựng Tiếng Anh Thương Mại, Thành ngữ kinh doanh, Tiếng Anh trung cấp /

Trong tập phim tiếng Anh thương mại này, we’re going to look at how thành ngữ kinh doanh related to ships and sailing can be used to describe company performance.

The image of a ship is a powerful one in business. The ship is like a company – a huge entity that must be steered toward success, maintained properly, and carefully guided away from dangers like storms and rocks. Employees are often seen as a crew of sailors, a group that must work together as a team. So sailing idioms frequently appear when we discuss business in English.

Today’s episode starts a two-part series on sailing idioms. Lakisha and Warren are two colleagues discussing the decline of Trussock’s, an engineering firm that has been faltering since a new CEO took over.

Câu hỏi nghe

1) What are the major differences between Trussock’s old CEO and the new CEO?
2) What do Lakisha and Warren think will help change the situation at Trussock’s?
