Roleplay – What’s In Your Office

Roleplay WHAT’S IN YOUR OFFICE



Speaking about objects in your office means that you'll need to understand the use of 'there is' and 'there are‘, as well as 'any' or 'some' for asking and answering questions about those objects. You'll also practice using prepositions of place to describe where the objects in your office are located.



Office furniture plays a key role in increasing productivity, focus and quality of work. Of course, the visual appearance is nice, but it doesn't play a vital role in making a positive workspace. The furniture placed in any office must be functional, supply copious organization compartments and most of all be comfortable. When the furniture provides all of these features, workers will be able to perform their tasks more efficiently and they will be able to produce better quality work.



When choosing office furniture, one must take into account that workers will be sitting for the majority of the day typing, drawing or writing, so providing a comfortable chair and a spacious work desk is top priority on the shopping list. Comfortable seating is not just an added luxury in a workspace its a key element to maximizing productivity because workers are sitting for eight or more hours a day, which can make backs ache, necks and legs feel stiff and make workers feel impatient or easily irritated. With a comfortable chair, they will be able to be relaxed and patient and ultimately produce better work.
