That's English - Unit 2: In the market

This topic is connected to business English and the vocabulary is very specific but useful. Nevertheless, as you are in an advanced level you should be able to speak about the topic using this vocabulary and expressions as it is a very usual topic for a conversation.
Let's start with general questions and then we'll see the grammar included in this lesson and the exercises to do.

• What kind of business would you like to set up and run? Have you got any expertice to live on?   
• What are the main problems to run a business? On page 23 you have DO's and DON'T's to success in business.

• Compare two nationalities about doing business, how they make money; in the book you have Finns and Arabs but you may use Spanish, French, American...

In this lesson we work with connectors or linking words. If you want to practise you have this link with many exercises: click here and this is the exercise we did in class (click here) just in case you liked to do it again at home. Here you have another one.

About the reduced relative clauses, they are similar to Spanish so they shouldn't be difficult:

• The man sitting at the table is my boss  --- El hombre sentado a la mesa es mi jefe

But sometimes it's not so similar like in this example:

• If you have a problem this is the person to speak to  ---  Si tienes un problema esta es la persona con la que tienes que hablar
