How It Helps Your Business English
The page holds a dialogue in which an information technology manager describes her company to a recruiter, with an audio player, a short written introduction to the topic and three listening questions. The language presented covers basic company facts, company culture and structure, reputation, and plans and goals, at an intermediate level.
Listen to the episode once with the three questions in front of you, then play it again and note the phrases Stella uses to give the size, the history and the culture of her employer. Say the same sentences about your own company, changing the facts, and you have an answer ready for a recruiter, a client or a colleague who asks what your company does.
