Things and furnitures in the office

Hi! Today I'm trying to boost my vocabulary with things and furnitures that are easy to find in the office. Some terms are easy:
  • pen (“the pen is on the table...”)
  • desk
  • desk drawers
  • office chair (or desk chair)
  • phone
  • laptop
  • file cabinet
but others are less known (well, to me):
  • I use to carry documents and other things in a bag, but it's a special kind of bag a briefcase
  • I keep papers in folders or ...
  • in transparent folders
  • and in binders
  • Papers are joined with paper clips or with...
  • staples binded by a stapler
Now an “homework” to improve English listening abilities. I'm going to watch a Star Trek (The Original Series) in English with English subtitles. Shatner/James Kirk is not too easy to understand but it's surely better than Travolta/Vincent Vega and Jackson/Jules Winnfield (can you remember Pulp Fiction).

And that's it!
See you later.

    just a hint for a little phonetic rule...Bearing in mind this rule will save you from a lot of minor mistakes in the future...

    Is letter H a vovel or a consonat in English?

    Please correct your mistake and write a comment for your readers: it can prove useful for them as well :-)
