Preparation work for live session
Preparation work for live session
This is our last session that focusses on listening skills, so in addition to our student-led listening activity, we'll have a final practice of working with a simple spoken presentation, looking at some of the vocabulary and trying to come up with our own summary. Before you watch, think about the following questions:
Where do you go when you really need to get work done?
Do you have any experience of working in open plan areas?
What is your most common distraction?
If you were a manager of a large company, would you make sure everyone was in the office together during the day, or would you let them work from wherever they liked?
What would be the pros and cons of both of these approaches?
In which of the places shown above would you be most productive?
