Description

Hi everyone,
We will discuss the concept of 'work-life balance' during this lesson.
Let's learn some new vocabulary which we can use to describe this concept, before practising our listening by hearing other people talk about their jobs and work-life balance.
Finally, we will describe our dream jobs with this new vocabulary and enjoy discussion practice!
I look forward to seeing you there.
