متن انگلیسی درس

Rachel the rabbit!

Narrator

Hello. It’s another busy day at the offices of Tip Top Trading… Denise

And I said no John, not at my age, I’d rather take the bus… Tom

…yeah Pete, that’s great, so we’ll deliver 2,000 bananas by Friday. Let’s have a beer soon… yeah… cheers mate.

Narrator

But there are two people who are busy annoying each other… Anna

So you did what? You ordered the second-hand ones?!

Rachel

Chillax Hannah…

Anna

Anna!

Rachel

…they’re just oranges…

Anna

…plastic lemons actually.

Narrator

Anna is struggling to work with Rachel, Mr Socrates’ favourite Sales Executive, who he’s sent in to help out… or hinder more like!

Rachel

Look, I’m off for a cappuccino, everything will be just fine. Ciao.

Tom

Anna, has Rachel gone out?

Anna

Yes.

Tom

She’s a bit of a man-eater. She almost ate me once.

Anna

She eats men?

Tom

Well, not exactly. I worked with her in my last job. She was always listening in to other people’s conversations and she’s always changing jobs. That’s why they call her Rachel Rabbit – you know, big ears, always jumping from one job to another.

Anna

Rachel Rabbit! That’s funny. So she isn’t that good then?

Tom

Oh, useless! She only worked for Mr Socrates because her father threatened to sue the company, after one of our plastic pineapples fell off a shelf and broke his toe. But, better keep that under your hat.

Anna

My hat?

Tom

I mean, keep it secret.

Anna

Oh right, I see. Well, now she’s ordered loads of second-hand oranges to send to our new customer in France.

Tom

But they wanted Imperial Lemons?

Anna

I know. I’m not sure what to do, so I’m going to have to speak to Paul about this.

Narrator

Yes it’s a good idea to refer up sometimes – ask the boss for advice. Say to him “I’m concerned that Rachel has made a mistake that might affect the business”. You might also say “she’s not pulling her weight”, meaning she’s not doing the work she is supposed to do. And you could say “I’m finding it very difficult to work with this person.”

Anna

Right. I’ll try. There’s Paul now… Paul, could I have a word please?

Paul

Of course, Anna. Let’s go in my office. Now, how can I help?

Anna

Err, well, it’s Rachel.

Paul

Yes, amazing woman. Mr Socrates’ favourite.

Anna

I know… but I’m finding it difficult to work with her.

Paul

Oh why’s that?

Anna

I’m a bit concerned that she’s made a mistake and it might affect our business.

Paul

Golly gosh. Really?! Why’s that?

Anna

Well, she’s ordered second-hand oranges for our new client in France.

Paul

That’s marvellous… isn’t it?

Anna

Well, I asked her not to. They wanted lemons… new Imperial Lemons.

Paul

Ah… not so marvellous. Anything else?

Anna

Well, speaking personally, I don’t think she’s pulling her weight. She doesn’t seem to do any work and just keeps going out to buy cappuccinos.

Paul

Well, that’s just not on. Look Anna, I will look into this straight away and see if I can sort this out. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. Now, I think you’ve earned a custard cream.

Narrator

So Anna has expressed her concerns to Paul, the boss. It’s up to him to investigate. As long as you have a fair reason to complain about a difficult member of staff, these are some of the phrases you could use: I’m concerned that she’s made a mistake that might affect the business.

She’s not pulling her weight.

I’m finding it very difficult to work with her.

I wonder how Paul is going to handle the situation?

Paul

Ah, there you are Rachel. Nice cappuccino? Could you step in to my office for a moment… I’d like a word.

Rachel

Ya, sure.

Denise

Ooh, I wonder what that’s all about. Do you know Anna?

Anna

Hmm, no idea.

Tom

She’s probably going to get a promotion and a pay rise… and a custard cream!

Rachel

Thanks Paul, ciao. What a great guy he is. Such a great sense of humour! Looks like we’re doing some good work Anna!

Anna

Wwwhat?!

Narrator

Oh Anna. I’m not sure Paul has really sorted out your concerns. But don’t worry, we’re here to help you out. See you next time on English at Work. Bye!
