How It Helps Your Business English
Ten workplace idioms are explained one by one, each with a short meaning and three example sentences, and several carry an audio recording of the expression in context. Three quick comprehension checks are set between them. A matching exercise pairs idiom halves with meanings, a ten-question multiple-choice quiz follows, and an answer key closes the page.
Read each idiom with its three examples, then play the recording where one is offered so you hear the stress and speed a colleague would use. Answer the quick checks as you go rather than at the end. Finish with the matching exercise and the ten-question quiz, then use the answer key to see which of the ten still need work before you try them at your own desk.
