BEP 38 INT: Describing a Procedure
In this Business English Podcast lesson we look at how to explain or describe a procedure. We’ll also look at some common computer vocabulary.
In our jobs, we often have to tell people about procedures and processes - explaining how to do something. This can be more formal - for example giving government visitors a demonstration of a production line - or informal - for example showing a colleague how to use the photocopier.
Today’s dialogue is a common situation where describing a procedure is useful - giving someone help. It takes place at Elektra, a fashion design company. You’ll hear Sandy, an accountant, call Felipe, who works in the IT department. Sandy is having a problem with her computer and Felipe describes to her the procedure for fixing it.
Answers to the listening comprehension questions will be published on this page: Listening Quiz.
