There are many different kinds of sites. We often speak of construction sites, a site where something is being built – such as buildings, roads, bridges, airports, and so on. But a site can also be a completed structure, like a factory or even sometimes an office. In a site visit, visitors come on site to have a look around. Someone in your company will usually play host and give them a tour. This is often part of the sales process: Sometimes it’s the visitors who are selling something to the host, and sometimes it’s other way around.


The language we’re going to study in this episode 1 will be useful for anyone who needs to host visitors. No matter whether we are giving journalists a demonstration 2 of a factory, or introducing potential customers to our work site, or giving government officials a tour of a construction project, we need to show people around and point out areas of interest.


In the listening, Stanley Wang works for China Western Railroad Construction Company. Stanley is the site agent – that is, the person in charge of a construction site – for a railway tunnel that is being built. Matt and Paula – who work for a small engineering company called TunnelTech – are visiting potential customers in China. As the dialog begins, Stanley is getting ready to take them into the tunnel for a look around.


Listening Questions:

1) What does Stanley point out in the tunnel? What language does he use to draw everyone’s attention to it?

2) What are the advantages of the machine that Stanley describes?

3) Stanley mentions two safety hazards 3. What are they?

4) What is the question that Paula asks Stanley about the hazards?
