This co-hosted Business English podcast episode focuses on how to discuss workload in English, a crucial skill for professional communication. The hosts, Lindsay and Michelle, begin by sharing their own experiences with varying workloads throughout the year, illustrating the concept of "busy seasons" and periods of less activity. They then introduce several phrases and expressions to describe different workload levels, such as "busy season," "things are slow," "heavy workload," and "when things calm down," providing practical examples for various professional contexts. Finally, they conduct a role-play demonstrating how these phrases can be used in everyday workplace conversations, equipping listeners with the language to effectively communicate their workload status to colleagues and friends.
