Intermediate Business Conversation: Workplace Communication

READ

 

Mr. Evans came to the Human Resources Department office to ask the HR manager, Mr. Adams about something.


Good morning, Mr. Adams. Are you busy now? Would you mind if I talk to you for a while?
 
Good morning, Mr. Evans. Sure. I am not yet busy. How are you?
 

 
I’m doing well, though I am still adjusting in my new work environment. Anyway, I would like to ask you if it is possible for me to work on the day shift instead of the night shift. I have been hearing rumors from some employees about shift changes yesterday, however, I’m not sure if it is true so I decided to ask you.
 
 
Just to clear up that rumor, all employees are not allowed to change their current work shifts. However, we might consider shift changes in the future. Don’t worry, we will make an announcement about that this afternoon.
 

 
That would be a great idea so that everyone will be aware of the policy. Thank you for the confirmation, Mr. Adams.
 

 
I also want to thank you for asking me directly about this. Keep it up, Mr. Evans.

PASSAGE READING

Please read aloud the following passage. I will check your pronunciation as you read.

READ

Semmering Railway

The Semmering Railway in Austria is the first mountain railway in Europe. The construction of the railway began in 1884 and lasted for a year. The location made the process challenging for the people behind the project. Also, the workers had to build the entire railway system by hand since there was no equipment that could make their job easier during that time. Because of that, the engineers decided to increase the number of workers from 5,000 to 20,000. There were about 65 million bricks and 80,000 stones used in the construction.

Today, the Semmering Railway has been one of the most popular travel destinations in the world. By taking this train, people can travel to Austria from Italy for only 2 hours since the train connects the two countries. In 1988, the UNESCO declared Semmering Railway as one of the World’s Heritage Sites.
