English At Work
On this page
English At Work is a series of 52 listening lessons from BBC Learning English telling Anna's story, from her interview all the way through to working at Tip Top Trading together with Tom, her boss Paul, secretary Denise, and the funny situations that happen in the office. Throughout the series there's always someone reminding Anna how to phrase things in the situation she needs, which is also a way for you to practice speaking for workplace situations. Doing dictation with English At Work is an extremely effective way to boost your Business English.
