Hi there, this is Harry and welcome back to my podcast.
As always, you can get me on www.englishlessonviaskype.com well, it's another Saturday and actually has been a beautiful day where I am.
The sun has been shining and the temperature was well, I think around 20 degrees, which not so bad for the middle of October.
I hope everything is well with you and you're keeping well.
I think I've just about got over this flu that lasted about two weeks, but everything feeling good.
The last podcast I did was in relation to some business English and I thought I would continue that theme with you today.
So for those of you working in business, trying to get into business, or just generally interested in the language of business, hopefully this will be of interest.
When we're talking to people about our jobs, it's a very common topic when we want to break the ice with somebody in a cafe, a restaurant, even in an elevator.
So you never know when these sort of things come in handy.
So we're talking about where we work.
We might be asked what we do or who we work for or what does a company do?
So you'll come across phrases like my company produces or my company makes.
It means exactly the same.
My company produces widgets or my company makes widgets.
Whatever it is you produce, tennis balls, golf balls, glasses, mobile phones.
You produce or you make something.
And where are you located?
Where is your business?
Our offices are based in, or located in.
So again, these words mean exactly the same.
