Work-life & People is about describing daily routines versus activities people are doing at the present time. Structures and

vocabulary covered are useful to communicate about everyday life at a work environment, and contrast it with temporary or current

activities. Work-life & People also covers language to speak about skills and abilities, all fundamental to communicate with

colleagues in English.
