The texts focus on developing language skills for effective communication in the workplace. One section introduces how to greet and introduce oneself and others, specifically using nationalities and professions. It explains how to use the verb to be (am, is, are) in the present simple to talk about professions and nationalities. For example, I am a journalist, he is Brazilian, and they are doctors. The section also teaches how to form negative sentences with to be (e.g., I'm not, you're not) and how to ask questions by changing the word order (e.g., Are you a journalist?). Additionally, it covers the use of articles (a and an) before professions, with an used before jobs starting with a vowel sound (e.g., an architect, an office assistant) and a used before jobs starting with a consonant sound (e.g., a journalist, a receptionist).
Another section discusses a typical workday, where someone describes their daily routine. They start their day by arriving at the office, checking emails, and taking client calls. They then spend time organizing documents, with some tasks taking all morning. After having lunch, they take more calls and sometimes attend meetings in the afternoon. The workday ends with them leaving and taking the bus home. The individual enjoys their job because it is busy and never boring, highlighting the importance of staying engaged at work.
The final text introduces a reading strategy called skimming. Skimming is used to quickly understand the general idea of a text without focusing on every detail. The strategy involves reading quickly and identifying key words or phrases that convey the main idea of the text. For example, key phrases like check emails, organize meetings, and make calls help identify that the text is about a work routine. Skimming is particularly useful when trying to understand the general theme or purpose of a text, especially when time is limited.
Together, these texts provide useful language tools and strategies for workplace communication. They cover greetings, introductions, describing daily routines, and effective reading techniques to understand texts quickly and efficiently.
