‘The Perfect Work-Life Balance’ (Conversation Club)

This week the ‘Thinking in English’ Community is talking about work-life balance!

We spend a huge amount of our lives working, in order to contribute to society and earn a living for ourselves and our loved ones.

But all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, so it is really important that we find the right balance between work, and other activities!

Here are 10 conversation questions to get you talking about work-life balance!
