CareerTalkLab — Professional English for Global Careers

Today, we learn to introduce our team. We use 'Verb To Be'. In the morning we meet new colleagues. We talk about our team — we can plan to talk more later.

Maria: Hello. I am Maria. Maria: This is Ben. He is my colleague. Maria: He is in the Sales Department.

Meeting your new team

Welcome to the office! On your first day, the team gives you a small bag with the basics: a business card, a name badge, and a charger for your laptop. The team works on a clean, modern floor, and the company office is in suite 1204 on the twelfth floor. If you need to call someone inside the company, ask for their phone extension at the front desk.

For important client meetings, many team members wear a suit. The company plans its work in fiscal quarters — Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 — and reviews progress at the end of each quarter.
