БЭП 39 – Отчетность на английском языке: Обновление проекта

А2, Деловой английский, ESL-подкаст, Функции, Грамматика, Средний английский /

In today’s intermediate Business English Podcast episode you’ll practice reporting on progress. That means informing your boss or colleagues about your current work. This is also called updating someone on the status of a project.

Reporting on progress happens in formal settings, such as at meetings, but often also in informal settings, such as around the water cooler or maybe even over a drink after work.

Today’s listening provides an example of this very common kind of informal project update. It takes place in the offices of AirMech Services, a company that specializes in the maintenance, repair and modification of Passenger Loading Bridges, which are commonly called “jetways”. You’ll hear Rudi, a project manager, update his boss, Wolfgang, on the status of one such project. They meet each other during a break in the coffee room.

Как вы слушаете, pay attention to both the vocabulary and the verb tenses Rudi and Wolfgang use to discuss the progress of the project.
