Office English / Useful Phrases To Communicate At Work.

Workplace communication is the process of exchanging information and ideas within a team or an organization as a whole.

There are various of types of communication from formal to informal.

The purpose is to ensure all are aware of variety of group's / organizations goals and can move together in unison.

Here some easy but are used phases by native speakers in any offiece every day:

Can you help me with…?
This phrase is one of the most important and valuable in any workplace. Sometimes you may need to ask your colleagues for help. And it is the most polite way to do so. For example:

Can you help me with this report? I can’t seem to find the correct data.

Do you have a minute?
This phrase is also widespread in the workplace. You can use it when you need to talk to your colleague but don’t want to bother them too much. For example:

Do you have a minute? I need to ask you about the project we are working on.

I’ll be right there.
This phrase is usually used to let your colleagues know you are coming and will be there in a minute. For example:

I’ll be right there. I just need to finish this report.

What do you think?
This phrase will come in handy if you need to ask for opinions or suggestions. For example:

What do you think about this design? Should we change something?

Here are just a few to get you to be clear that a simple English is the key - there is no need to make it too complicated when you speak to others, the main thing is that the communication is polite, respectful and in a manner where everyone understand's you.

大家好，我是Yuli。这是我的第6期播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊“焦虑”的话题。
现代生活大家的生活和工作压力都很大，很容易就感到焦虑。每个人的焦虑可能不太一样。学生会因为考试而焦虑，也会因为毕业找工作而焦虑。上班族会因为工作感到焦虑，可能是工作太多、太难，或者是竞争太激烈。父母会因为教育孩子而焦虑，担心孩子的健康、学习等等。  
除了以上这些焦虑，更多新的焦虑也开始出现在我们的生活。例如，“容貌焦虑”。容貌焦虑是指一个人经常觉得自己不够好看，特别是在网上我们经常看到各种美女帅哥。还有“身材焦虑”，一个人对自己的身材不满意，总是觉得可以再瘦一点儿，想要有一个明星那样的好身材。还有一个很常见的“财务焦虑”，也就是大家对金钱的担心。担心自己的收入不稳定，担心自己永远买不了房。
对于各种焦虑，你是怎么解决的呢？我以前也是个很容易焦虑的人，不过现在我越来越放松了。因为发生了两个很大的改变。
第一个改变是，我不去担心未来的事情了。焦虑的时候，我是在为还没有发生的事情担心，我的大脑会一直告诉自己一些很可怕的故事。但是，那都不是真的。现在，我努力去做我想做的事情，但是我不去担心结果了。
第二个改变是，停止和别人的比较。如果我们一直跟别人比较，那不管我们的生活多好，我们都会觉得不满足，因为永远有比我们好的人。所以，不要比较，知道自己想要什么，专注在那里就可以了。
你最大的焦虑是什么呢？你是怎么解决的？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

Spooky English Stories: UFOs, Ghosts, and Haunted Houses Real English Conversations Podcast On Italki

Narrator: The challenge for modern-day employees is to​evolve as the world is rapidly changing around them. You may not change, but the skills required to do your job well. In the last decade, ​automation has already had an impact on the number of jobs, and there are fears that this isn’t going to slow. Learning new skills allow workers to stay​relevant and competitive, even in the face of changes in their industry. It doesn’t have to be vastly time-consuming. Something such as improving your​Word or Excel skills, or learning basic code, to make you more efficient is a start. Yet, investing in more up-to-date abilities is a good idea. A good starting point is job-specific skills, but personal skills are also worth looking into. For example, if you find it difficult to cope under pressure, you may want to look into ​self-management. Communication is another area worth considering. You may want to look at, not only how you express yourself, but also your ability to ​actively listen when others are talking and incorporate their feedback and ideas into what you do. With globalization, another ​fundamental skill these days is intercultural awareness. So, there are a variety of options for us to improve our working knowledge.
