　　：Do you have a minute

　　Dialogue1

　　Amelia: Do you have a minute?

　　Max: Sure, what would you like to discuss?

　　A: I've made a tough decision, sir. Here's my resignation.

　　M: Well, I have to tell you that I'm quite surprised.

　　Is there any possible way to change your mind?

　　A: I'm afraid not, sir. I've made up my mind.

　　It's something I have to do.

　　M: Can I ask why? Were you unhappy working for us?

　　A: Oh, no. Not at all.

　　M: Are you planning on studying abroad?

　　A: No, sir.

　　M: Have you been given a better offer?

　　A: Oh, no. I would never look for another job while working here.

　　I think this is a fantastic place to work.

　　M: Well, what's the problem then?

　　A: It's my mother. She's sick and needs someone to take care of her.

　　I'm the only one who can do it.

　　M: I'm sorry to hear that, but you don't need to quit over that.

　　Why don't you just take a leave of absence?

　　We can hold your job for you until your mother gets better.

　　A: Really? I didn't know that would be possible.

　　M: Sure, we'd be crazy to lose a good worker like you.

　　A: Thanks, sir.

　　Dialogue2

　　M: Amelia, could you spare a few minutes?

　　A: Sure. What do you need?

　　M: Well, I wanted to let you know that I've put in my notice.

　　A: Really? Why?

　　M: It's complicated. But basically it boils down to one thing.

　　This company is downsizing and I can't continue working

　　for a company that may let me go ..

　　A: But surely they wouldn't fire you!

　　You're one of the most experienced managers here.

　　M: Well, to be honest, there's another reason. I've got a better offer.

　　A: Well that's great news! Congratulations!

　　Where will you be located?

　　M: The head office is in New York,

　　but I'll be dealing with overseas companies

　　and flying to this side of the world from time to time.

　　A: It'll be sad to see you go,

　　but it sounds like you've found yourself a great opportunity.

　　M: I have. I feel lucky.

　　I look forward to dealing with overseas companies and

　　at the same time having a chance to use English more.

　　A: I'm sorry to bring this up now,

　　but would it be possible for you to write me a letter

　　recommendation before you go?

　　M: Of course I can. In fact,

　　if there are any other job opportunities at this new company.

　　I'll recommend you personally.

　　A: Thanks. I appreciate that.

　　：Pay and Welfare

　　Dialogue1

　　Paige: Have you finished going through the contract?

　　Kyle: Yes, but I have a few questions for you.

　　P: Ok. Ask away.

　　K: First, I'd like to know if you offer employees sick leave.

　　P: Yes, employees can take up to 10 days of sick leave per year.

　　However, in order to get paid,

　　you'll have to bring in a note from the doctor's.

　　K:Even if I'm only sick for one day? That's correct.

　　P:That's pretty strict, if you ask me.

　　K:Well, we've had to add that to the contract because

　　we found that many of our employees were taking almost

　　one sick day a month, even though they weren't sick.

　　P:I see. I guess that makes sense.

　　K:Do you have any other questions?

　　P:Yes. Maternity leave is mentioned in the contract,

　　but there's nothing in the contra about paternity leave.

　　Do you offer anything to fathers?

　　K:We do actually.

　　We can add that as an amendment to your contract.

　　How many days of paternity leave do you offer?

　　P:Men are allowed to take 10 days of paternity leave for

　　their first child.

　　Why are women allowed so much more time for maternity leave?

　　K:Well, women are the ones giving birth.

　　I think it's fair to give them more time, don't, you?

　　P:I guess so. I don't have any other questions.

　　Should I sign here then?

　　K:Yes, please.

　　Dialogue 2

　　K: Could we possibly discuss my salary some time?

　　P: Sure.

　　K: First of all, I want you to know that

　　I really like working for this company.

　　Do you think I'm doing a good job here?

　　P: Well, you are a very hard-worker.

　　K: I try very hard.

　　The problem is, my salary just isn't enough to live on.

　　Now that I have a wife and a child to support,

　　we hardly have enough money for food and rent.

　　P: There are trying times for everyone.

　　What do you propose?

　　K: I could really use a 5 % raise.

　　P: That's quite a bit. If I give you a raise,

　　I'm going to have to lPve everyone a raise.

　　K: Listen, if you give me a raise, I'll take on extra responsibilities.

　　P : That sounds reasonable. How about this?

　　From now on, you can be responsible for scheduling.

　　That means that if you can't find someone to cover a shift,

　　then you'll have to do it.

　　K: That's fine. Do I get over-time for any extra hours that I work?

　　P: Of course. It'd be against the law if we didn't.

　　K: That sounds good to me. I really appreciate it.

　　P: You're welcome. Come in early tomorrow and I'll show you how

　　to do the scheduling.

　　：OOffice Facilities

　　DIALOGUE1

　　Caroline: This bloody computer!

　　Aaron: What seems to be the problem?

　　C: My computer just crashed again for the third time today!

　　A: What were you doing when it crashed?

　　C: I was just opening up an attachment in an email

　　about winning the lottery.

　　A: I think that might have been a virus.

　　C: Oh, no! I thought it seemed a bit strange.

　　A: What kind of computer do you have, a Mac or a PC?

　　C: It's a Pc. Doesn't everyone have a PC in this office?

　　A: No, some people have Macs now, too.

　　C: What's the difference?

　　A: PCs often crash from viruses,

　　but it's nearly impossible to get a virus from a Mac.

　　C: I didn't know that.

　　A: Has your computer turned back on yet?

　　C: Yes.

　　A: Did you end up losing any of your work?

　　C: Fortunately, I saved my work right before it crashed,

　　so it should be OK.

　　A: You should probably call the IT department and

　　have them check your computer for Vlruses.

　　C: That's a good idea. I'll call them now. Thanks for your help!

　　DIALOGUE2

　　A: The sound quality on your computer is great!

　　Did the speakers come with your computer or did you buy them

　　as an add-on?

　　C: I bought the speakers separately, but they're not turned on now.

　　A: Impressive. Could you do me a favour?

　　C: Sure, what do you need?

　　A: Do you know how to send a fax internationally?

　　C: Yes, I fax documents from time to time back home to

　　my family.

　　A: Do you think you could help me fax this to France?

　　C: Sure. It's pretty easy actually. You'll have to take out the staple

　　first, though.

　　A: I'll do that now.

　　Do you have any of those forms that we can use as a cover page?

　　C: Those are in the filing cabinet by the receptionist's desk.

　　A: Do I have to ask the receptionist to get it for me

　　or can I get one from the cabinet myself?

　　C: Just go and get one, fill it in,

　　attach it to your document with a paper clip,

　　and then put it in the in-tray on the receptionist's desk.

　　She'll do the rest of it for you.

　　A: Really? Is that easy?

　　C: Sure, haven't you read the notke board lately?

　　They just put up the procedures for sending taxes a few days ago.

　　A: Oh, I guess they must be worried about one of us wrecking

　　the fax machine.

　　C: Actually, I think they want to keep an eye on who

　　we are faxing things to.

　　A: Will they send a personal fax for me?

　　C: Sure, you just need to pay a small fee.
