Many of us have a passion for buying notebooks, pens, markers and can spend hours choosing new accessories for the job. Shops with our favorite stationery called stationery or office supplies shops. Look closely at the picture. How many objects you can call in English, not peeping in the dictionary? Half? More? Well, not bad. But these are the words of our daily environment, so I propose to review them.

My attention was caught by the name of a large paper clips — Bulldog clip. Nothing to do with the breed of dog that word does not have. The subject has received its name in honor of a registered trademark, which started producing such clips in 1944 in the UK.
Also drew attention to the video, which collected a lot of useful words on the subject. Do not just look and write down the words themselves, who were strangers. So more likely you are to remember them.
The more we use in the office? During meetings and conferences using different equipment and machinery. Let’s examine these concepts:
