商务英语好词好句分享 | BBC English at Work（持续更新）

07/30/2019

Hi 大家好

先说一下写这篇分享的背景：

目前我在外企实习，出于学习商务英语的需要，我查看了许多回答，最后将学习的一部分内容瞄准在《BBC English at Work》。

这个系列的剧一共有66集，每集3-4分钟，以职场新人Anna的成长为时间线索，教给大家在不同场合下适用的商务英语表达，比如：英文面试时，写邮件时，解释误解时等等，每一集对应一个小场景。

我目前看到了第19集。

再说说分享的动机：

大家应该最初都是通过我的托业经验分享而认识我，我发现剧集中的大部分词经常出现在托业试题中，所以想作为托业经验分享的姐妹篇，分享出来，作为商务词汇的补充，如果不考托业的话，也可以看看，为以后的实习/工作为做铺垫。

PS：我学习商务英语除了看这个剧集，还买了BEC高级的书和习题学习，不一定会考证。

更新的频率大约是3-4天更新一次。我每天看三集。
