Session 1
Everybody remembers the feeling of being new - either the first day at school or university, or starting a new job. In this session, we're going to watch Amith's first day at work with BBC Learning English. He's quite nervous, and some things don't go according to plan! You'll hear some useful language for politely asking for information.
Activity 1
Amith's first day
What do you have to do on your first day in a new job?
Do you remember your first day at school or work? What was it like? What kind of things did you have to find out?
We're going to start Unit 21 with a documentary. It's about Amith's first day at work with the BBC Learning English team. But first, let's think about what Amith needs to find out. Take a look at these pictures from Amith's first moments at the BBC and guess what he's having trouble with.
