How It Helps Your Business English

What this resource offers:

Eight short workplace instructions are played one by one, each with two readings to choose between, so a missed to, of or them changes the action. Transcripts and answers open underneath. Word cards then give can, should, them, of, send and ready with their pronunciation and a sentence. A set of narrow repair questions and a ten-minute routine close the page.

How to use this resource:

Play each instruction with the answer hidden and choose a reading, then write down the small word that decided it, not the main noun. Open the answer and say the whole instruction in your own words. Use the repair questions when you miss the same relationship twice, since a narrow question brings back the missing detail rather than the whole sentence.
