English Rewind - 6 Minute English: Formality at work
📻 Do you feel you can behave in a relaxed way around your work colleagues, or do you have to be very polite and a bit distant at work? Does your workplace have a dress code? Do you have to ask permission to leave the room? This programme from our 6 Minute English archive takes a look at formality at work, and we find out how things have changed over the years for some of the BBC Learning English team. Improve your English vocabulary knowledge AND practise your English listening with us. What about you - are workplaces very formal in your country? Tell us in the comments 👇👇👇
