6 News English from bbclearningenglish.com Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English.
I'm Sophie.
And I'm Neil.
Sophie, did you go to the corporate away day last week?
Yes, you didn't miss anything.
A team-building guru lectured us on how to work more effectively with each other.
We gave some presentations, had a few drinks after.
Right, OK, and away day is a day that employees spend together away from their usual workplace.
And a guru is an expert in something.
So, did this guru teach you anything new, Sophie?
No, not really.
Ah, shame.
I was hoping for some tips on how to work more effectively with my co-presenter.
I think you work very effectively already, Neil.
Now, today's show is about team-building,
or encouraging employees to work well together as a team by getting them to engage in different types of activities.
And apparently, some companies in the UK are offering their employees activities such as Hunger Games-style combat days,
where teams must work together to kill as many of the opposing team as possible.
