👥 Offices and Cubicles - Interactive Practice

A: "How are things at work?"

B: "It's not too bad. But I hate our office setting."

A: "Are you in a cubicle?"

B: "No. I would be happy with a cubicle. We have 10 desks all in a large room. The supervisor is at one end with a view of everyone."

A: "That sucks. You have no privacy."

B: "I know. I can't even take a small break because everyone is watching. But that's not the worst part. I can hear everyone talking all day long and it's so distracting."

A: "I feel sorry for you."

B: "I can't even complain about something to the supervisor because everyone can hear."

A: "Why do they have the office set up like that?"

B: "I'm not sure. Maybe they want to save money, or maybe they think it's more effective."

A: "Is anybody in an office?"

B: "Only the people above the supervisor."

A: "Maybe if they got out of their office and worked in the open space they would realize how terrible it is."

B: "I guess I'll just have to tolerate it for now."
