Hi 大家好

先說一下寫這篇分享的背景：

目前我在外企實習，出于學習商務英語的需要，我查看了許多回答，最后將學習的一部分內容瞄準在《BBC English at Work》。

這個系列的劇一共有66集，每集3-4分鐘，以職場新人Anna的成長為時間線索，教給大家在不同場合下適用的商務英語表達，比如：英文面試時，寫郵件時，解釋誤解時等等，每一集對應一個小場景。

我目前看到了第19集。

再說說分享的動機：

大家應該最初都是通過我的托業經驗分享而認識我，我發現劇集中的大部分詞經常出現在托業試題中，所以想作為托業經驗分享的姐妹篇，分享出來，作為商務詞匯的補充，如果不考托業的話，也可以看看，為以后的實習/工作為做鋪墊。

PS：我學習商務英語除了看這個劇集，還買了BEC高級的書和習題學習，不一定會考證。

更新的頻率大約是3-4天更新一次。我每天看三集。
