	Description:		Welcome back to Business English Pod for today’s lesson on English idioms related to people’s personality and character. Think about all the different people you live and work with. There are probably some you get along with well, and others you don’t. There are some you would hire but not invite for dinner, and others you’d invite for dinner but would never hire. And the difference between all these people is probably their personality. Different personalities make for more than just an interesting life; they make conversations interesting. Listen to the conversations around you in the staff room or at the café, and what do you hear? People talking about people. And because we talk so much about people, English has lots of idioms for describing personality. We’ll learn how to use some of these idioms in today’s lesson. We will rejoin a conversation between three colleagues: Lola, Shane, and Anne. They’ve been trying to decide who in their company they should send on an overseas placement to Korea. They use lots of great idioms in their discussion of the different personalities under consideration. Listening Questions 1. What does Lola think Marco would do well? 2. In Shane’s opinion, why isn’t Simone a good candidate? 3. What do the speakers say about Hank’s personality? Lesson Content: Premium Members: PDF Transcript \| Quizzes \| PhraseCast \| Lesson Module
