Or should employers make workers spend their entire work day in the office? This has been a major discussion in the business world since the Covid pandemic changed the way we work. There are arguments on both sides of the debate. These arguments centre on whether it is better to control workers or give them freedom.   Today I want to talk about this debate in more detail, while introducing some important grammar. In order to talk about this topic, we need to understand and know how to use causative grammar.  In this episode, we will focus on the causative “make” and “let”, while in Friday’s bonus episode we will discuss “have” and “get”. Let’s practise this grammar and discuss remote work and company policies in this episode of Thinking in English Grammar!

  • 334. High-Context vs. Low-Context Cultures: Why Context Matters in English Learning (English Vocabulary Lesson)
    Download ELSA for free + get 7 days premium membership for free: https://bit.ly/ELSAxTHINKINGINENGLISH Get exclusive ELSA discounts: https://elsaspeak.com/inf/promo-code-thinking-in-english/?promocode=THINK85 Recently, I have been thinking a lot about challenges that language learners face when communicating. Learning vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation are obviously difficult tasks, but I think something else can be just as challenging. Context and culture. Words and grammar are not the only way that we communicate. The world isn’t always direct and clear. In fact, some cultures and parts of the world rely extensively on context to communicate meanings. Today, we are going to discuss culture and context in language learning. We’ll discuss low-context cultures, high-context cultures, and how this affects English learning and English usage!

For me, the countryside is less expensive, less polluted, and less noisy than cities. At the same time, the countryside is also less convenient. Today I want to compare living in urban areas and rural areas. In order to talk about this topic, and similar topics, we need to understand and know how to use comparisons of inferiority! Let’s practise this grammar and discuss where is better to live in today’s episode!

About Thinking in English

Thinking in English is a podcast designed for intermediate and advanced English learners. I believe that thinking is an incredibly important step on the road fluency, and this podcast is going to help you achieve this by discussing topics ranging from politics and economics, to philosophy and science. Rather than "learning English", Thinking in English focuses on "learning in English." Learn something new, listen to something interesting, and improve your English at the same time!
