Office Talk Tips

Students read a blog-style passage about workplace small talk and how to keep conversations positive, professional, and appropriate. They answer multiple-choice questions that assess comprehension and understanding of workplace communication expectations. The text emphasizes avoiding personal or sensitive subjects at work, choosing friendly but neutral topics, and considering whether a conversation would be suitable in front of a supervisor. This worksheet helps students build career readiness skills while improving reading comprehension and decision-making about communication.
