I won't cover topics we have in our regular English lessons, but talking about work experience is not a separate topic I have, so let's spend a few minutes here. 

我不会在我们常规的英语课上讨论我们的话题，但是谈论工作经验并不是一个单独的话题，所以让我们在这里花几分钟时间。

When you are talking to a co-worker, you can talk about many different things. One of the topics might be previous work experience. Whenever you receive this question, the easiest way to answer this is to say where you worked and what you did. 

当你和同事交谈时，你可以谈论很多不同的事情。其中一个主题可能是以前的工作经验，当你收到这个问题的时候，最简单的回答就是你在哪里工作，你做了什么。

"What did you do before working here?"
