Remote Working. EP 64

In this episode, Drew looks at the pros and cons (the upsides and the downsides) of remote working, also known as teleworking or working from home. The adjective “remote” means distant, private, faraway, isolated, slight and inaccessible. Common uses of the word remote include “remote control,” “remote island” and “remote chance.” You’ll learn them here. Are you familiar with the phrasal verb “figure out?” What happens when the Internet goes down and you’re working from home? Most likely you’re the one (and not the IT department) who will have to figure it out (in other words, resolve the issue yourself). Learn the expressions “to climb the walls,” and “social climbing,” along with other uses of the word “climb.” And more.
