Workplace vocabulary recap

4:00

I've worked in restaurants, bars, all kinds of places

4:00

that are not offices.

4:01

You've done it all.

4:02

I've done it all.

4:10

Let's recap some of the vocabulary we heard in this podcast.

4:14

We had 'office' – a place with desks

4:17

and computers where people go to work.

4:20

Sometimes, at BBC Learning English, we work in the office.

4:24

We had 'working remotely', which we often also call 'working from home',

4:30

and that means working somewhere that isn't the office,

4:33

for example, your home.

4:34

But it could also be a cafe or something.

4:37

And we also had 'colleagues' –

4:39

these are the people that you work with.

4:42

And we compared working from home with working from an office,

4:47

and we used lots of comparatives.

4:48

So, it's harder to concentrate at home

4:52

or it's more difficult to get your work done in the office.

4:56

Yes. And it's louder in the office, but sometimes that's better.
