Voicino 2
Listen and repeat.
Listen to three people talk about their favorite workspaces. Match the speakers to the pictures. Listen again and read to check.
1 This is my office. Well, kind of. There are lots of tables here. These small ones on the left are my favorite. I often have meetings in here, and there’s lots of space to sit and see the same screen. There’s free Wi-Fi, and the coffee is excellent, too!
2 Where do I work? In the spring and summer, I like to sit under these trees. All my notes and files and textbooks are on my laptop, so I don’t need anything else. That’s a mall over there, so I can have something to drink or a snack when I want.
3 This is where I usually study. I live a long way from school, so I’m here for two hours every day. Do you see that seat with the table, on the left? That’s my favorite one. It’s always quiet – I listen to music with my headphones. There’s an electrical outlet between the seats.
PAIR WORK Discuss the workspaces in the pictures. What’s good and bad about them? Are these places better than the other places in exercise 2A? Why or why not?
