Do your colleagues have annoying habits or traits?

When we work closely with our colleagues we start to notice their habits and traits. Some of these we might admire and others could become very annoying.

In English, we have a lot of idioms, phrasal verbs and expressions to describe our colleague's habits.

Read all nine descriptions and see if you can relate to any of them.

Which do you find annoying?
Which do you admire?

Don't be worried if you can't understand because studying idioms isn't suitable for all learners. Idioms require an Upper- Intermediate or Advanced level of English.

If you are interested in learning more please book a Business English Upper-Intermediate lesson with me soon. As you can see I have high-quality materials to share with you.

Maybe these definitions will help you to understand the idioms.

Answers:
1= E

3= L
4= K
5= C

7= J
8= F
9= G
10= H

Lastly, research these traits and decide for yourself which ones are positive or negative. Afterwards, why not book a lesson to share your opinion?

Good luck and have fun.
