Speaker 1
your posture dear listener you should have a your back straight like sit down nicely my favorite place to study is my kitchen for example or my bedroom or my bed in rory's case it's his couch he's like sofa it's really comfy comfortable so rory can curl up there so if you curl up, what do you do? Oh,
Speaker 2
you just fold your body in on itself. So the legs are on the couch and the arms are close to the body. Yeah,
Speaker 1
you don't have a formal position like in the office. So you just sit there. So I can curl up on my couch. I can curl up in my bed with my books, with my laptop. And get down to business. When you get down to business, you start working or studying.
Speaker 2
You focus on your work. Or what must be done. I
Speaker 1
have lots of pillows. It's really comfortable and relaxing, so I can relax while I'm studying or while I'm working. So nice. Where else do people usually work? Maybe in a cafe. So if you work online, you can say that, oh, I usually go to a cafe, to a nice cafe to work or study. Or in a park, dear listener, in summer I prefer working. In a park I sit on a bench or I sit on some green grass. I'm surrounded with trees. Beautiful. Or in a forest and you kind of you study there, you work there. Do
Speaker 2
people do that? Yeah,
Speaker 2
mean, I would find it very distracting.
Speaker 1
Actually, lots of people prefer working in a cafe. There are even like special cafes where you just go and you work. Free Wi-Fi, hey, and coffee. You know, you have your coffee, you have your Wi-Fi, you have other people. Yeah, but it could be noisy. So, you can say like, well, sometimes I work in a cafe, but if it's too noisy, I work from home. And now Rory's showtime vocabulary. Yes,
Speaker 2
this is the part of the show where I ask Maria questions about vocabulary I used and she must identify what I'm talking about. We'll pick one from every question. So let's start with question number one. Maria, are you ready? Yes, I am. Question number one was, do you prefer to work at home or in the workplace? What was the phrase that I used to describe the rules for what people wear in their workplace?
Speaker 1
A dress code. Nice, yes. Follow a dress code. Do you like dress codes? No.
Speaker 2
Why not? They restrict my freedom. Oh no, we need freedom. Question number two was... That was not question number two. Question number two was, do you prefer to work alone or in a group? And I used a word that describes planning and communicating with other people to work together in an orderly way. But what was that word? Coordinating. Yes. coordinating with others. It's coordinating with. Question number three was what part of your workplace or study place do you like the most? And I said that I could change something about the position of my desk, whether it's high or low.
