交流之中，对话中进行的话题越来越深，说明彼此之间的关系更进了一步。下面是我给大家整理的，供大家参阅!
：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 plicated. But basically it boils down to one thing.
This pany is downsizing and I can't continue working
for a pany 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 panies
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 panies 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
remendation before you go?
M: Of course I can. In fact,
if there are any other job opportunities at this new pany.
I'll remend 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 pany.
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 sche *** ng.
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 wele. e in early tomorrow and I'll show you how
to do the sche *** ng.
：OOffice Facilities
DIALOGUE1
Caroline: This bloody puter!
Aaron: What seems to be the problem?
C: My puter 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 puter 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 puter 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 puter for Vlruses.
C: That's a good idea. I'll call them now. Thanks for your help!
DIALOGUE2
A: The sound quality on your puter is great!
Did the speakers e with your puter 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 *** all fee.
