## Transcript

Welcome to the Breakout Business English podcast. Hi everyone, my name is Chris and I am a Business English Coach. I have worked with over 1,000 non-native English-speaking professionals, from new graduates up to CEOs and government leaders, to help them to improve their communication skills. Thank you so much for listening, and today's topic is business trips and traveling for work.So one of the things that I enjoy discussing with people most is travelling for work and the business trips that they take. I spend two years travelling full-time and working online, and now I live in the UK and I don't travel as much, but it's still something that I'm passionate about. In fact, I have a four-month-old daughter, so it will likely be a little while before I'm travelling again. But one of the things I love about my job is that it really is a window on the world. Over the course of just today, I've had conversations with people from China, from Japan, from Germany, Italy, the UAE, and one person down in Brazil in South America.So I really do get to speak to the whole world. It's one of the best things about the work that I do. I know that people travel for work a lot less than they used to. But I do feel like the amount of business trips that people are taking is increasing. It seems like I talk to someone every day who is preparing to attend a conference or travel to a factory or office in another country.So. Whether your next trip is for work to the other side of the country, or for vacation to the other side of the world. Hopefully, I can help you out today with some natural and native vocabulary to talk about travelling in a professional context, as well as the formal and informal grammar structures that you need to communicate with colleagues, clients and customers about this topic. Okay, let's start our podcast today with some examples. Listen closely to these natural and native-sounding examples of people talking about business trips. I'm going on a business trip, so
