Hello, this is Six Minute English from BBC Learning English.
I'm Neil.
And I'm Georgina.
Georgina and I have got to know each other very well after working together for so long.
I know what sandwiches Neil has for lunch.
Egg and tomato, right, Neil?
Right.
And I know it really annoys Georgina when people don't wash up their cups in the staff kitchen.
So unhygienic.
But just as important as getting to know someone socially or at work is getting on with people.
To get on with someone is a useful phrasal verb, meaning to like someone and enjoy a friendly relationship with them.
Which is really important if you work with them every day.
And there's another word to describe the good understanding and communication between two friends.
Rapour.
Yes, how you build rapport and get on with people has been the subject of many self-help books over the years and is the topic of this program.
Well, you and I must have great rapport, Georgina, because that leads perfectly into my quiz question.
In 1936, American writer Dale Carnegie wrote a famous self-help book on building Rapour.
It sold over 30 million copies, making it one of the best selling books of all time.
