Meetings (B1)

Transcript

Meeting is a big part of our work. They are unavoidable. Most of us attend at least one meeting a week. Other people attend more than one meeting a day. Some meetings are long. They take an average of one hour, but some meetings are short, about fifteen (15) minutes or less. Many employees complain that meetings are a waste of time. Instead of doing something productive, they sit on a chair and listen to someone who talks about useless subjects. Sometimes, we have meetings to talk about meetings. It is unbelievable.

Sometimes, meetings are conducted in English, and it is hard to understand the discussion, especially if your English level is low and the speaker speaks so fast. Another bad thing about meetings is that participants come late so the meeting is extended. This is bad when you have another meeting after your meeting. It means you will also be late for that.  (154 words)
