- Business Jargon. The following article from last year, highlights the way business English has become overly complex and needlessly difficult.

If you would like to have the opportunity to give a presentation and get some feedback on it, we can do this together on Friday. Select a topic of your choice and prepare a short 5 minute talk. We will discuss language, structure and technique in Thursday's lesson. giving a presentation is not compulsory, if you'd prefer to just observe and give feedback, that's fine too.
