## Transcript | ||
|
||
Narrator | ||
Last week, Anna got the job of sales executive at Tip Top Trading, thanks to her quick-thinking in an office crisis. Today it's her first day in the office. How are you feeling now, Anna? | ||
|
||
Anna | ||
Excited, but a bit worried. I really want to make a good first impression. | ||
|
||
Narrator | ||
Well, you're going to need some phrases to introduce yourself politely, such as: | ||
|
||
Hello, I don't think we've met. | ||
You must be – and say the person's name. | ||
I've just joined the team. | ||
Nice to meet you. | ||
Have you worked here long? | ||
|
||
Why don't you start by saying hello to Tom Darcy, the Senior Account Manager? | ||
|
||
Tom | ||
Yah, yah, no, yah, yah, OK, yah. I'll seal the deal, yah, no worries. OK, see ya mate, bye! | ||
|
||
Anna | ||
Hello, I don't think we've met. | ||
|
||
Tom | ||
No. | ||
|
||
Anna | ||
You must be Tom. I'm Anna. I've just joined the team. | ||
|
||
Tom | ||
Uh huh. | ||
|
||
Anna | ||
Nice to meet you. Have you worked here long? | ||
|
||
Tom | ||
Sorry, I'm quite busy right now – I've got a big deal just coming through. But let's get together sometime. Um... can you do lunch tomorrow? | ||
|
||
Anna | ||
You want me to do lunch? Well, I'm not very - | ||
|
||
Tom | ||
Sorry, important client. Lunch tomorrow at 12.30 then? | ||
(On the phone) Tom speaking. Yah! Frankie! So what's the latest, are we on? | ||
|
||
Anna | ||
Well, OK then. | ||
|
||
Narrator | ||
Great Anna! You used some nice phrases to introduce yourself. It's a shame Tom thinks he's too important to do the same. | ||
|
||
Anna | ||
I'm sure he's just busy. But I'm a bit worried about tomorrow! | ||
|
||
(The next day…) | ||
|
||
Anna | ||
Good morning Paul! | ||
|
||
Paul | ||
Good morning Anna, are you OK? | ||
|
||
Anna | ||
Fine, the kitchen's through there, isn't it? | ||
|
||
Paul | ||
Er, yes. | ||
|
||
Denise | ||
Anna! | ||
|
||
Anna | ||
Oh hi, Denise! | ||
|
||
Denise | ||
What are you doing? | ||
|
||
Anna | ||
Cooking lunch for Tom. | ||
|
||
Denise | ||
You what? | ||
|
||
Anna | ||
Tom asked me to have lunch ready for 12.30. | ||
|
||
Denise | ||
Did he indeed? | ||
|
||
Tom | ||
Er, Anna. | ||
|
||
Anna | ||
Hi Tom! | ||
|
||
Tom | ||
What are you doing? | ||
|
||
Anna | ||
Spring rolls, followed by crispy duck in black bean sauce. | ||
|
||
Tom | ||
No, I mean, why are you cooking? | ||
|
||
Anna | ||
Well, if I don't start now, it won't be ready for you by 12.30. | ||
|
||
Tom | ||
Oh, you misunderstood me, Anna. When I said "Can you do lunch?" it didn't mean "Can you make lunch?" It meant "Are you available to come to lunch with me?" In a cafe or something. | ||
|
||
Anna | ||
Oh! | ||
|
||
Paul | ||
Mmm... something smells good, but what's going on here? | ||
|
||
Denise | ||
Anna thinks it's her job to cook for people! | ||
|
||
Anna | ||
No, no, I misunderstood! | ||
|
||
Tom | ||
Anna just got a bit confused. | ||
|
||
Paul | ||
Well, never mind, it looks tasty. | ||
|
||
Anna | ||
There's enough for everyone if you want some. | ||
|
||
Paul | ||
I think that's a splendid idea, we can have an office picnic! | ||
|
||
Anna | ||
Yes! | ||
|
||
Paul | ||
Mmm, that sauce looks delicious. | ||
|
||
Anna | ||
Yes, it's my favourite. | ||
|
||
Narrator | ||
|
||
Well, once again everything has worked out well for Anna! Before we go, a reminder of the phrases she used: | ||
|
||
Hello, I don't think we've met. | ||
You must be Tom. | ||
I've just joined the team. | ||
Nice to meet you. | ||
Have you worked here long? | ||
|
||
Just remember - if somebody says "Would you like to do lunch?" they're not usually expecting you to cook for them! Goodbye. | ||
