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.
