Being a Secretary
Dialogue 1
-Good morning,Ma'am.
-Good morning.
-Are you Director Xiao,the office manager?
-Yes,I am.Who are you?
-I'm the new secretary.
-Oh,yes.I was out of town last week and didn't get to meet you.What's your name?
-My name's Su Xinxin.
-It's nice to have you with us.We have a lot of work to do here.You'll be very busy.That's your desk over there.
-Thank you.Director Xiao.
-And that's your computer.There's a fax machine at either end of the corridor.
-It's really convenient.I love this place.
-And please call me Xiao Yanli.
-Thank you,Ms Xiao and I'd like to be called Sue.
Dialogue 2
-I need a letter faxed to Mr. Smith and I need it ASAP.
-I'm happy to write the letter,however ,i'm still working on the report that you wanted me to get out today and it looks like I'll have to work overtime 1 just to get it done.
-But you told me you were perfect.You had me believe you could do at least two or three things at the same time.That's why I hired you.
-I thought you were a perfect boss,too.What happened?
-Well,it's like what I tell my partner.Success is measured by how many balls you can juggle 2 in the air at once.
-We're all doing a lot of juggling 3 around here,aren't we?
-Yeah,and this isn't intended to be a show.
-Give me some direction regarding your priorities and I'll get back to work.I'll even work through my lunch hour,but I'd like to go home early
tomorrow if that's all right.
-Well,I think we had better get the letter off to Mr.Smith.Then if you can stay late to finish the report,I'd really appreciate it.Remind me to give
you a raise.
-I'll be sure to remind you.
Dialogue 3
-Would you please take my clothes to the cleaners?I left them in my car.And where is my coffee?
-I've worked for you too long without making any complaints.I need to remind you that I was hired to do clerical work,not to run personal errands for you.
-I'm a busy man.Any way that you can make my life easier makes my time more productive.
-I guess I feel the same way.I like to be productive,too.The time I spend running errands and making coffee is time I can't spend writing reports or organizing files.But most of all,it seems demeaning to me to do your litle personal jobs.You need to hire anerrand boy and a maid so I can get my work done.
-I'm sorry you feel that way,but I don't think I'm going to change in the near future.If I hired a maid and an errand boy,I probably wouldn't need
you.
-Would you be offended if I made an application for a transfer to a different department?
-I like your work,but I understand your complaint.Maybe that's the best solution to your problem.
Dialogue 4
-Hi,Xiao Zhang,how's it going?
-Not too bad.How about yourself?
-I'm exhausted 4.I had to work until 2 o'clock this morning.
-Take it easy.Don't work too hard.
-No way.I must get everything ready before noon.
-Then,take this afternoon off.
- They are working overtime to finish the work.为了完成任务他们正在加班加点地工作。
- He was paid for the overtime he worked.他领到了加班费。
