Supermarket Lady: Down aisle two, on your left-hand side. Teddy: Okay, thanks. Sandra: You want to feed our sick friend canned soup? Teddy: Hey, that stuff is good! Campbell's chicken noodle soup is nothing to be ashamed of! Sandra: No, Drew is not going to get better off that instant stuff. I'm going to make him some homemade soup. Excuse me, where's the soup stock? Supermarket Lady: That'll be down the sixth aisle, across from the sauces. Sandra: Okay, thanks… Hey, speaking of canned soup, how's your friend Alex? Nice lady, kind of strange, but nice. Teddy: I think she's good. I heard the cops visited her place a few days later…maybe we were too loud at the party? But I haven't heard from her since. Sandra: Hmm…strange they came after the whole thing was over. Oh well, not my place. Teddy: Yeah, oh well, I'm sure she handled the situation. Anyway, if you're going to make the soup, I'll buy the crackers. Sandra: How very thoughtful of you. Well, since I'm making it, I might as well make some for you, my kids, and my husband all in one go. Teddy: That's the spirit, Sandra! --------------------------- Learn English with EnglishClass101!

June: Sure. Mitch: There were some disagreements last night, and staff members who disagreed were fired. June: By whom? Mitch: By me. June: And who, exactly, did you fire? Mitch: Pretty much everybody. You must understand that something had to be done. June: You do realize you aren't the assistant manager, right? And that you can't really fire anyone? Mitch: Well the staff members I fired certainly seem to have taken it to heart because they're not here. June: Well, go ask them to come back. Mitch: I can't do that. June: And why not? Mitch: Because then they will not fear me. June: Why on earth would any of them need to fear you? Are you nuts? Mitch: I know! Big John's going to come in here and see that no one's working and he's going to fire me! June: You should have thought of that before you tried to "strike fear" into the hearts of your co-workers. --------------------------- Learn English with EnglishClass101!

June: I believe I am, sir. Big John: That's good to hear. There were a lot of people vying for your position. June: But you didn't interview anybody else. Big John: Of course not. Could you imagine one of those clowns as assistant manager? I'd have to insure the store against all sorts of things. June: Okay then. Well, thank you very much, sir, for this opportunity. I won't let you down. Big John: Excellent. First things first. June: Yes. Big John: June, I'd like you to get those reports ready for tomorrow. There's a meeting tomorrow as a result of our new product roll out, and I'll need those reports. June: I'm sure I can manage that. Could you tell me which reports they are? Big John: Susan should be able to help you out with that. She's been handling the production ramp-up until now. June: Sir, I don't recall anyone named Susan working here at the store. Big John: Well, could you call her and ask what is deterring her from coming into work? She'd benefit from your work ethic. --------------------------- Learn English with EnglishClass101!

June: Yes, Big John? Big John: How are you doing? June: I'm fine, Big John. Thanks. Big John: Are you interested in a promotion? June: Yes, I am. Big John: I'm not going to ask you about past work history or experience because I interviewed you just a few weeks ago. But if you want it, the job is yours. June: Like you said, I've only been working here for a few weeks. What position are you considering me for? Big John: The assistant manager. The performance management king, or queen in your case. June: Wow! Thank you. Big John: You'll be my right-hand man, or woman, in your case. The captain of the ship when I'm not around, which as we both know, is often. June: Wow. Aren't there more senior employees better suited for this position? Big John: Here's the thing. Corporate is pressuring me to fill the position, but I really don't want to interview those characters out there. June: You mean, your employees? Big John: Yes. I would have, but they scare me, June. June: Okay. Big John: So, do you want the job? June: Yes, sir! Thank you! --------------------------- Learn English with EnglishClass101!

Big John: Sure, June. Let's dialogue. June: I have a proposal to restructure the showroom inventory. Big John: Why would I let you do that? June: Well, there currently isn't a system and this causes delays, especially when we are looking for merchandise. Big John: Maybe you all just need to work faster. You see, I watch you from my office and I know how little work gets done. June: You bring up a good point and bringing order to the inventory system will make us work faster and more. Sales should improve as well. Big John: How so? June: In my last job, I built an end-to-end inventory system, and it was very beneficial to the store on multiple levels. I think it will be a win-win; bigger and faster sales with less work for you. Big John: Less work for me? June: Yes, sir. Big John: Will it get corporate off my back? June: It will most certainly help. Big John: Excellent. Then it sounds like a great idea. Project accepted. June: Thank you very much, sir. --------------------------- Learn English with EnglishClass101! Don't forget to stop by EnglishClass101.com for more great English Language Learning Resources!

Cody: In the closet on the left, third shelf from the bottom. June: How do you know that? I can't make heads or tails of this system. Cody: It's because I've been working here for five years. There isn't any rhyme or reason to it. Just put in the time. June: Do you think Big John would get mad if I reorganized things a bit? I mean, it's a Frankenstein. At my last job, I built a system that was end-to-end. It unified the entire inventory system. Cody: I'd ask him first. Will it take a long time to implement? June: I don't think so. I doubt it would take more than a week or two. Cody: You should frame your idea around a proposal that will boost sales or impress corporate in some way. He's always looking for improvements that will get him a raise. June: But do you think he'll be frustrated if the entire showroom floor is reorganized? I mean, in the end, it would be almost every department. Cody: He'll probably not care too much since he doesn't deal directly with the system or with clients. He just tells us to do everything, and we do it. Alana might get a bit riled up though. She doesn't like change. June: Which is funny because her hair is a different color every other week. Cody: I know! --------------------------- Learn English with EnglishClass101! Don't forget to stop by EnglishClass101.com for more great English Language Learning Resources!

It was awesome! June: Some of those plays were just amazing! Cody: I know! They spent like fifteen minutes talking about the execution and how they trained for months to get them right. June: I bet they did! It was like clockwork! These guys block while that guy runs through. Cody: Which distracts the opponent so they can make the pass and score. June: I haven't seen a game like that in years. Both teams were so great! Cody: Me neither. I was on the edge of my seat the entire second half. June: Wasn't it amazing how, right at the end, they made the winning points? Cody: I saw that! Right at the end for a three-pointer. June: Three-pointer? There aren't any three-pointers in football. Cody: Football? I was talking about the Bulls/Lakers game. What were you talking about? June: I was talking about the Falcons/Giants game. --------------------------- Learn English with EnglishClass101!
