  • Hello, this is Six Minute English from BBC Learning English.

  • I'm Georgina.

  • And I'm Neil.

  • In this programme we're going to be talking about the world of work.

  • Ah yes, travelling to an office five days a week,

  • sitting at a death school day and then going home.

  • Neil, it's not always like that.

  • Office work doesn't have to be such a routine,

  • the usual fixed way of doing things.

  • It is much more flexible these days.

  • That's true, during the pandemic we've all had to have a more flexible approach to work.

  • Yes we have and it has perhaps changed our attitude to working flexibly.

  • But even before coronavirus there was an opportunity to work flexibly and we'll be discussing that soon.

  • But there's one thing that can't be changed and that's you setting a quiz question.

  • Ah yes, I hadn't forgotten.

  • So Neil, I know you work very hard,

  • but according to data from the organisation for economic cooperation and development,

  • the OECD, workers from which country work the longest hours.
