Download this free B1–B2 English worksheet PDF for English learners and teachers. This lesson is based on a company team-building event where US law firm Quinn Emanuel took more than 370 lawyers to the French Alps for its annual hike.
Students practise reading comprehension, useful vocabulary, phrase matching and speaking skills through a real-world work topic about company events, team spirit, work parties, retreats, optional attendance, trust, respect and fair treatment. The worksheet is suitable for private English lessons, online classes, classroom teaching, homework and discussion practice.
The article explains the topic in clear, accessible English. Students read that Quinn Emanuel spends more than $1 million on its annual hike, which began in 1993. The firm says the aim is not forced team-building, but informal conversation, shared experience and getting to know colleagues from other offices.
This worksheet helps B1–B2 learners discuss work events and workplace culture in everyday English. Students talk about whether they have taken part in a work party or team event, what kind of company event they would enjoy, whether attendance should be optional, and whether expensive retreats can make up for poor communication or unfair treatment.
The PDF includes a B1–B2 reading text, True / False questions, Phrase Match, Synonym Match, a task where students use new language, discussion questions and a full answer key. It helps learners build useful vocabulary for talking about team-building, social events, informal conversations, company trips, compulsory activities, trust and workplace relationships.
