E318: 🎙️ Welcome to The English Like a Native Podcast, where I help you expand your English vocabulary and hone your listening skills with five vocabulary items every day of the working week, all while keeping you entertained. Whether you're commuting, working out, or tidying up, this podcast is your perfect companion.

🌟 In today’s episode, we kick off with the verb "diffuse", followed by the adjective "defensive". We then move on to the verb "ship" and the adjective "complete". Finally, we finish our list with the noun "input".

📦 Don't miss out on the engaging examples and a fun storytime that ties everything together, where we encounter Jeremy, who is managing the busy shipping department at Acme Industries and struggling with customer satisfaction due to errors. His boss, Sarah, suggests using a checklist to improve accuracy, but Jeremy initially resists, feeling defensive. After discussing his feelings, can they resolve things and create a more efficient workplace?
