David, quick question.

What is an office?

An office is a place where people work, often at desks, with computers, phones, papers, and meetings.

A desk is the table where people work.

So an office is a workplace where people do many kinds of work inside a building.

Yes, exactly.

A workplace means the place where you work.

That already sounds very useful.

Yes.

A useful sentence is, I work in an office.

Another one is, my office is busy in the morning.

Busy means having a lot to do.

Quick check, David.

A workplace means the place where you work, right?

Yes, exactly.

That is correct.

David, what are some common things people see in an office?

People often see desks, chairs, computers, phones, printers, papers, notebooks, pens, and meeting rooms.

A printer is a machine that puts words or pictures from a computer onto paper.

Those are such important office words.

Yes.

A person can say, my computer is on my desk, or I need to use the printer.

That sounds very natural.

Yes.

Another useful sentence is, I have a notebook and a pen for meetings.
