I’m planning a lesson for the new white collar workers at my company this week. \u00a0The actual lesson is next week – two 90 minute lessons on consecutive days. \u00a0I’m planning on teaching them basic telephone English, writing a simple business e-mail, and how to describe their company in English. \u00a0However, a while back I received an interesting request from Human Resources. \u00a0They’d like me to work in some material on “diversity”. \u00a0Diversity seems to be the key word around my company these days, which is fine by me. \u00a0I’m one of the very reasons that company employees should be more open to diversity.<\/p>\n
But how to work that weighty topic into your basic business English lesson? \u00a0I’m close to stumped. \u00a0I guess I’ll let me brain turn it over the next couple of nights, and maybe I’ll be inspired. \u00a0Any ideas?<\/p>\n
The temperature continues to increase steadily, and we’ve started opening up the house when we get home to cool things off. \u00a0We’re not close to air conditioner weather yet, but it is certainly within sight. \u00a0I can’t believe summer is coming back around so quickly – spring seems to have just arrived.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
