Майбутня професія _3.wav

Listen to workplace recommendations and be ready to discuss them in three short dialogs, followed by multiple-choice questions. 

A. Stop speaking to your colleague face to face and communicate via email so that every interaction is documented.

B. Sometimes the reason you don't like a coworker is that the person has the same bad habits that you do. 

C. When you learn what causes your coworker to tick (працювати) , you might like her better (Lukas, 2021).

Reflect on personal contributions, document negative behaviors, and seek understanding of disliked coworkers independently.

Discussing Communication via Email (Dialog):

Petro: Hey, Kateryna, how did you find communicating solely via email for our pastry project?

Kateryna: It was quite different, Petro. I found it challenging to express my ideas clearly without being able to discuss them face to face.

Petro: I agree. It felt like something was missing without the real-time interaction. Did you find documenting every interaction helpful?

Kateryna: Definitely. It ensured that everything was recorded, which could be useful for referencing later. But it also made the conversation feel more formal and less natural.

Petro: Yeah, I noticed that too. Overall, I think face-to-face communication allows for better collaboration and understanding.

Anna: That could be it. I'll try to talk to him and see if I can offer any support. Thanks for the insight, Oleksandr.

Oleksandr: No problem, Anna. Understanding what makes our colleagues tick can really improve our working relationships and teamwork, especially in a fast-paced environment like this.
