English for Work

Choose what you need to do

• Write a request with a clear action and time.
• Explain a problem and suggest a practical next step.
• Take part in a meeting and confirm what was agreed.
• Give an update that separates facts, questions and actions.

Start with a free email lesson

Emails that Move Work is an existing B1–B2 lesson for learners who can read a short work email and write simple sentences. It includes before-and-after tasks, models and a task-specific self-check.

Keep your first draft. Study the lesson, revise your message and then try its fresh task. You do not need to buy the optional pack to use the free lesson.

Use the checks correctly

The email lesson uses its own five checks scored 0–2. Keep those results separate from the four-part 0–3 reflection guide on Check Your Progress. Neither scale is an official exam score.

A useful practice cycle

1. Choose one work situation and identify the reader or listener.
2. Try a first response without a model.
3. Study a relevant example and notice useful phrases.
4. Create a new response and explain one improvement.
5. Repeat with different details so you practice choosing your own words.

If the lesson feels difficult

Start by identifying the action and deadline in the model. Write one or two clear sentences before a complete email. You can return to a shorter lesson in the catalog whenever you need.

Work skills and exams

If an employer asks for a test, read the TOEIC guide and check which version it requires. Workplace communication and test preparation support each other, but they are different kinds of practice.
