Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases TO WORK AWAY and ASK AWAY In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase, to work away. When you work away at something, it means you're working on something that will take a long time to finish and you're doing it little by little. A great example of this would be if you are doing a jigsaw puzzle. If you have 1,000 or 2,000 or 5,000-piece jigsaw puzzle, you need to work away at it. You're not going to finish it in 10 minutes or in 15 minutes. When you open the box and you dump the pieces out, you need to work away at it. You need to take some time to put every piece in slowly. At school, it's the week before Christmas and parents keep sending big boxes of chocolates to the staff, to the teachers to eat and we work away at each box of chocolates. We don't eat them all at once, but there's so many that we have to work away at it until the box is empty. I've eaten way too much chocolate
