About the Author

Introduction

Dear At Work readers,

I hope you enjoy the stories in this book. You can use the stories in many different ways. You can read silently, or out loud to a friend. You can read into a voice recorder and then listen to your pronunciation.

In this book, you will read about the Mendez family, the Yousef family, the Wilson family, and the Martin family.
