Welcome to English as a Second Language Podcast number 146 – Suggestions at Work.

This is English as a Second Language Podcast episode 146. I'm your host, Dr. Jeff McQuillan, coming to you from the Center for Educational Development in beautiful Los Angeles, California.

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about giving our ideas or suggestions in a business environment. Let's get started.

[start of dialog]

Our company has been growing very quickly and I was put in charge of reorganizing our office space to accommodate several new employees. I asked my co-worker, Petra, for her advice.

Fernando: I was thinking of dividing up two of the larger offices into four smaller offices. What do you think about that?

Petra: Well, it seems to me that doing that would only solve part of the problem. Have you considered converting the conference room into offices?

Fernando: I'm not sure that will work. We don't have another meeting space if we do that.
