How It Helps Your Business English

What this resource offers:

The page shows the result of a search on the word business across VOA Learning English. Each result gives a headline, the line of the item in which the word appears, and a link to the full text. The list holds news reports on companies, technology and the economy, grammar features and vocabulary lessons that use business examples. Filters sort by date, period and content type.

How to use this resource:

Read down the results and open the headlines that match the part of your work you want to read about, then read the item in the simplified English VOA uses and listen to the recording that comes with it. Use the content type filter to keep only the lessons when you want grammar and vocabulary, or only the news when you want reading practice. Searching another word, such as trade, gives a fresh list.
