Earlier in the morning, the couple committed an armed robbery in a bank in the town centre. Temprano en la mañana, la pareja ha cometido un robo a mano armada en un banco en el centro de la ciudad.
Unluckily for him, the man has been tricked by his accomplice and she's run off with the loot. Por desgracia para él, el hombre ha sido engañado por su cómplice y ella está corriendo con el botín. Quick! She's probably hiding, and above all, keeping out of sight. ¡Rápido! Ella probablemente esté escondida, y sobre todo, mantener fuera de la vista. She goes to the airport to leave town.

I'm afraid we're fully booked because of the convention. We're quite happy to share a single room. A double room with a bath would be perfect.
Let's just hope room service hasn't stopped serving. The dawn sunshine makes the rooms look beautiful. We're only planning to stay a few nights. I'd like to stay in expensive hotels with lavish leisure facilities. I'd go to ones by the beach so I'd be able to bathe in the sea everyday. I'd always have a double room with a view of the bay.

Have you got your passport and your tickets? Are the suitcases ready? They are? Okay, then let's get going! What would you say to a stay in the country, in a self-catering cottage? Getting up with the sun, living to nature's rhythm, feeding the chickens and helping the farmer milk his cow, Daisy! What's better than having a nap in the hay and in the evening, a good meal by the fireside? But maybe you prefer a seaside resort, renting a villa with a sea view and sunbathing all day, lying in a deck chair? You can also go to a hotel, in Miami, by the sea.

I've heard a lot about it!
Yes, I don't want to miss it! The art gallery, too, is worth visiting, if you have the time. We won't have time to see everything! What about the ancient amphitheatre? We might have time tomorrow. We'll have a short walk through the old centre now. Is everyone here? Are there any good views? Yes, these people belong to another group. Wait! My friend's just gone to the toilet! There are several good views. This is one of them. Is that the Town Hall over there? Where's the mosque? Is that the Abbey?
Can you also see the tower on the far side? I can't see any tower! No, I can only see a windmill. Yes! It looks damaged. And this is the cathedral. Doesn't it have very famous stained-glass windows? What a beautiful arch! Could we have a look inside? Now, this is the covered market. It looks very old! Not a flea market? Is it still open? We are now coming to the ramparts. They've remained in good condition.
And what's that over there? Is that a minaret? And these stones are the remains of a monastery. There are lovely flower beds here. My feet are starting to ache!

There are three old monuments in the picture. One is a church or cathedral with a large, square tower. Another is a medieval tower which stands on a hill with a flag on the top. It is surrounded by trees. The third monument is a medieval castle with several towers. It is surrounded by water, but has a bridge.

Do we have to pay a fee to get in? Aren't you coming with us? Good afternoon! I will be your guide through this magnificent castle. The castle was restored in 1724. I wouldn't like to live here! It's a bit dark, I must admit! If you'd like to follow me upstairs... No, I'm sorry, you can't go in there. Why not? Because it's dangerous
These are the statues of the Royal Family. This room used to be the Count's bedroom. Was this his bed? No, it wasn't. The gardens are surrounded by a high wall. This drawbridge is really fascinating.

The town centre is the most interesting place to visit. Bones dating back centuries were found in the dungeon. The first lord of the manor loved tapestries. The drawbridge is still fully operational. The castle has been classified since the late thirties. You say that the castle's first stone was laid in 1224. You never know exactly, do you, when something happened so long ago? In Britain, you can see lots of stately homes, mansions and castles. You have a royal family in the United Kingdom. You can tell as soon as you set foot in Britain, as the Queen's head is on all the notes, coins and stamps. boots for skiing ski boots

SoluciónValidar Well, I think I've shown you everything.
How would you fancy a trip around the world in less than five minutes? Brandishing her torch as if at the start of a race, the Statue of Liberty seems to show us the way. There are tourists inside, but you probably cannot see them. Our first stop is in Washington D.C., at the White House, where the President of the USA works and lives. Numerous tourists come and visit every year. Building began in 1792, and since 1800, all her tenants have left a mark of their passage. Despite her great age, the pollution and the tourists' comings and goings, the walls of the White House keep their brilliant whiteness. She really does wear her name well! On the other side of the Atlantic, only a few hours by plane, there's London, the capital of the United Kingdom. The Thames has played an important role in the history of this ancient port. The Palace of Westminster is found on the banks of this river. In 1605, Guy Fawkes dug a tunnel under it to plant a bomb. He was then arrested and executed. If we carry on down the river, we come to Tower Bridge, behind the Tower of London, which is on your left. This is where the beefeaters watch over the royal family's jewels. If they were ever lost, the queen wouldn't have a crown any more.
And can you imagine the queen without a proof of identity? On the other side of the Channel, on the European continent, royal families have almost all disappeared. Among those that remain are the Spanish, Belgians and Dutch. This castle, in the southwest of France, probably belonged to a noble and rich family, which must have suffered a lot in 1789 during the French Revolution. We can say that the people of the period lifted their heads up high in rebellion and the aristocrats lost theirs! France then became the country of human rights. Let's discover the last monument constructed during Napoleon's reign: the Arc de Triomphe. At the foot of this monument rests the unknown soldier, in homage to all the fallen soldiers of World War I, which ravaged Europe at the beginning of the twentieth century. A flame stays permanently alight in memory of them lest we may forget... If we go down the Champs-Elysées, we come to the largest square in Paris: the place de la Concorde. Let's change scenery completely, cross the Rhine and go to Cologne. This town is famous for its gothic style cathedral. It's so big! Let's leave the north for warmer places! For Barcelona, notably, which was the birthplace of the artist Gaudí. His bold and singular creations brighten the town and the tourists love to visit these colourful monuments.

I'm at the end of my tether! The Managing Director went away on business for a few days. Since he arrived late at the hotel, he needed to get a bite to eat. Throughout the year the hotel received many prestigious guests. Staff accommodated guests in such a manner that they felt totally at ease. The hotel provided excellent facilities like state-of-the-art technology for business people. In fact, the hotel catered for all the Managing Director's requests
This hotel employee is very smart in his outfit. The hotel where he works must surely have several stars. But the employees’ elegance isn’t everything. Indeed, everything must be perfect in a hotel: the organisation, the service and even the smile. It’s surprising to see the number of people who, satisfied with a place, come back to it every year. Take, for example, a simple breakfast. It seems very ordinary to order a full breakfast and to ask for it to be served to you in bed. But it’s not as easy for the bellboy to bring it to you and not stumble on the stairs. Mind you don’t spill anything! Sitting in her bed, waiting patiently for her coffee, the guest obviously has no idea of all this. Whatever the time and whatever the event, the waiter must always listen and be at the guest’s service. The noisiest place in a hotel, and where people are the busiest, is probably the kitchen. The hotel manager, moreover, is found more often there than in his office. Managing staff is always difficult, especially when it’s a team of chefs who want, at all costs, to accompany the head chef’s dish with a bilberry sauce, when a simple orange sauce, ten times less costly, would be perfectly adequate! They cut, grate, sprinkle, peel, scale fish... What talent! It’s a true culinary art.
The meal is a significant element among those services provided in a hotel and the food must be irreproachable. Obviously, the produce must be fresh and that requires working with a reliable supplier. The fruits and vegetables are imported from the four corners of the globe and it’s necessary to have complete confidence in the company in charge of delivering the goods. It’s impossible to plan for two hundred covers without being certain of getting in time, and on time, fresh produce of an excellent quality. The choice of the supplier depends on the best quality-price ratio and the delivery time. It’s not uncommon to call upon the services of several professionals at the same time. The restaurant opens its doors at the beginning of the evening and it’s not unusual to see customers come in who aren’t staying in the hotel. All the waiters and waitresses are dressed up to the nines: shoes well polished, hair well groomed, ties well done up, skirts well ironed... As usual for the service sector, a restaurant’s success depends enormously on its reputation. The service must be impeccable. When you have a job in the service sector, never forget that the customer is always right! And if he does happen to be wrong, keep it to yourself!
If the customer is wrong... tell your boss. tell everyone. tell him. keep him quiet. don't tell him. walk away. How is the first employee in the video dressed? He is badly dressed. He is inelegant. He is well dressed. He is dressed like royalty. His clothes are too small. His clothes are too large. Why do people return to the same hotel every year? They are very happy with it. They appreciate the coffee. They like the waiter's clothes. They are friends with the manager. They want breakfast in bed. They appreciate the breakfast.
What is meant by 'irreproachable'? It is quite good. It is faulty. It is not bad. It is of average quality. It is without fault. It is extremely bad. What is meant by 'to stumble'? To fall over To walk quickly To climb the stairs To run To jump To walk down the stairs Where are the fruits and vegetables imported from? They are not imported They are grown locally From corner shops From four suppliers From four countries From all over the world What is meant by 'dressed up to the nines'? You got dressed at 9 o'clock
Dressed very badly You get undressed at 9 o'clock Dressed very smartly Dressed like a waiter Dressed like eight other people Which two words have similar meaning? Irreproachable and Impeccable Satisfied and Impeccable Groomed and Ironed Adequate and Reliable Irreproachable and Reliable Groomed and Adequate Which of these words is not a way of preparing food? Peel Scale Spill Grate Sprinkle Cut Which of these statements is untrue? All of the restaurant's customers are from the hotel.
Some of the restaurant's customers are from outside the hotel. The restaurant starts serving at the start of the evening. The waiters' and waitresses' shoes are well polished. The hotel manager is often found in the kitchen. The hotel manager is sometimes in the office. The training course 1 h 29 I'd like you to use your work placement to set up new training programs for H H It must be difficult to keep them up to date with new metal technologies. I'm sure the employees appreciate your commitment. Have you contacted the Training and Enterprise Council? Wherever they work, all our employees need training. But we're not always sure how to offer it to them. How much do you know about training workshops? The TEC course offers are on their website.
We could set up in-company training. I'm told the National Training Organisation can advise us on that. In any case, I'd like you to ask the heads of department what they believe is needed. I'll start with Production. Accounting might be a good place to start. You'll have the results and a plan of action by next week. Hi, I'm the Production director. What can I do for you? Within two months, we'd like to have training workshops running. The question is what I can do for you! We'd like to help train your people. We'd like to start training workshops for the employees on the shop floor. We could do with some training on all this new technology we've been getting. We had record amounts of scrap from our last run of steel bolts! Unfortunately, it's a hundred miles' drive to the nearest training centre. We'll have to plan on work-based training, I suppose. Day release is one possibility to consider.
Funding assistance may be available if we train in-company I think in-house training is probably the best option, as you say. But how will we know if we're up to standard? The NTO will guide us through the process if we need their help. The National Vocational Qualifications can be helpful. Why don't we contact the equipment manufacturer? It's agreed, then: we'll train in-company on the new machines. Let's meet to develop a syllabus next week. How about Friday? I would rather meet later this week if possible. When do you think we can begin the training? So you'd like the TEC to help update our employees' skills. Absolutely. At H H we believe in lifelong learning. Yes, but we'd like to do so within the plant. What company can afford not to? What kind of training do our workers need exactly? They're having trouble adjusting to the new machine.
Above all, they need training on the LD-20. We've invested in new technology, and we need to train them on it. We can do workplace assessments for you if you train in-company, and we'll provide you with a syllabus if you need it as well. Is there anything else I can do before our meeting next week? Everything seems quite all right for the time being. That's all for now, but I'll be in touch! No, I can't think of anything else. So only the marketers will be trained off-site, then? The others will be trained here according to the NTO standards. Yes, they'll be doing a one-week training course in six months' time. That's right! What sort of training will the marketing team be receiving? The training course is about using the Internet as a marketing tool. It's a course on marketing and new media.
They're getting a refresher course on brand management. The company's been waiting to exploit the Internet more. The marketing director is reluctant, though. But are our products right for Internet marketing? That's what the marketing director said. That's a relief. We've had some problems in that area. Well, you're only as good as your brand name. Hopefully the course will help. So far we've been working without the necessary training. Well, let's get to work on planning our work-based training, then! Shall we meet in a few days? I'm not sure I'll have what I need by then.
I'll contact the training companies in the meantime. to advise v. aconsejar; informar assessment valoración; evaluación available disponible to be in touch with sb ponerse en contacto con alguien to be understaffed estar con falta de personal [plantilla] brand marca commitment compromiso; cometido to deal with v. tratar sobre; resolver; negociar; ocuparse de department sección; departamento employee empleado; asalariado grant subvención; beca; donación in-house

I'll contact the training companies in the meantime. A n e w s p i n n i n g f r a m e Serving customers 2 h 20 Good evening. I've booked a table for 6. The name, please? Can you tell me your name, madam? Can I have your name, please, madam? Turner. Ah yes! A table for six at eight. Yes! Here we are. Six people, at eight o'clock. I'm afraid I have no booking in that name.
Can we have a table by the window? I'm afraid they're all taken. What about the table by the door? Yes, you can. But it's nonsmoking. Yes, but that's the smoking area. Will that be all right? May I take your order now? Are you ready to order? What would you like? Is there anything you'd recommend? I'd certainly recommend the chicken. The vegetarian lasagne is very popular. Yes! The fish is very good today. We'll have three fish, two lasagne and one chicken. What would you like to drink with your meal? What about some wine? Would you like to order some wine? Excuse me!

We'll have four of each and three bottles of house red wine. SoluciónValidar I'm afraid we're a bit short-staffed tonight. SoluciónValidar I apologize in advance for any delay you might have. They had a hundred-mile drive for the job interview. SoluciónValidar Today's criminals are tomorrow's prisoners. SoluciónValidar Last year's professional golfer left to become a racing driver. SoluciónValidar I have a two-hour commute to work every morning. SoluciónValidar Yesterday's applicants will all be hired. SoluciónValidar He had a five-year wait to become company manager.
Congratulations! You've got your certificate of higher education. The time has come to go and look for work. The telephone quickly becomes essential. Having sent several curriculum vitae, you are finally called in for an interview. Try not to seem too tense, otherwise you risk making a bad impression. Luckily for you, your application has been accepted. You're hired! Welcome to the team! Becoming a worker does, however, present a few inconveniences: commuting every day takes a very long time and the traffic jams are never-ending! And that's not counting the taxes you'll have to pay! By the way, what career have you chosen? Are you a waiter? Do you work as a shop assistant? On the market? So no more lie-ins for you! Or have you chosen a career where a uniform is compulsory? Like in the police or the army? Watch out for Sergeant Nit-picker, he doesn't miss a thing! For certain jobs, suits are to be worn. Appearance counts a great deal. Receptionists must always be well dressed, secretaries as well, because they are the first to come into contact with clients. It is important for estate agents to make a good impression, just as it is for car dealers. Does a tie make one look more credible? What judge would listen to a plaintiff wearing jeans and a jumper? None.
No more than the person to be tried would accept the decision of a judge in a T-shirt and tennis shoes. There are some jobs that are done outdoors, like those of a farmer, horticulturist, fisherman or shepherd. One job done from above, in a total lack of oxygen, is that of an astronaut! You mustn't suffer from vertigo if you want to work way up there! Racing driver is another high-risk profession. Being a professional golfer is less dangerous, but it demands just as much discipline. You must have courage and patience to reach the top and become champion. Footballers train for years before reaching their goal! Their careers are short-lived, like those of dancers. But don't think it's any easier working from home, especially if you've got your children to look after! There are also people who change career-paths. Criminals who steal money suddenly find out they have a new vocation, that of prisoner! There are others who don't want to succeed by legal means. They prefer to falsify important documents. To become a company manager, you must have ambition, motivation and talent, you have to work hard and not go to sleep! Then you can harvest the fruits of your labour by purchasing, for example, a beautiful car, a flat in town, a house in the country with
several hectares of land and a villa by the sea for those well-deserved holidays! What is the subject of this video? Outdoor jobs Careers Taxes Higher Education Commuting Curriculum Vitae What do footballers and dancers have in common? Neither of them have children. Their careers aren't very long. They have lots of children. They wear the same shoes. Neither of them are professional. They are both usually female. Which of these words have similar meaning? Profession and Plaintiff Shepherd and Plaintiff Vocation and Shepherd
Job and Plaintiff Vocation and Job Ambition and Vacation What do the police and the army have in common? A uniform must not be worn. Their careers are very long. A uniform can be worn. A uniform is not mandatory. A uniform must be worn. Their careers are very short. What is an inconvenience of working at the market? You must wake up late. You must commute every day. You must wake up early. You must wear a tie. You must wear a uniform. You must work late every day. What is suggested about both judges and plaintiffs? They both wear T-shirts. They are more credible than tennis players. Appearance is important. They work indoors. Appearance is not important.

The castle has been classified since the late thirties. You say that the castle's first stone was laid in 1224. You never know exactly, do you, when something happened so long ago? In Britain, you can see lots of stately homes, mansions and castles. You have a royal family in the United Kingdom.

  • 88. How would you fancy a trip around the world in less than five minutes? Brandishing her torch as if at the start of a race, the Statue of Liberty seems to show us the way. There are tourists inside, but you probably cannot see them. Our first stop is in Washington D.C., at the White House, where the President of the USA works and lives. Numerous tourists come and visit every year. Building began in 1792, and since 1800, all her tenants have left a mark of their passage. Despite her great age, the pollution and the tourists' comings and goings, the walls of the White House keep their brilliant whiteness. She really does wear her name well! On the other side of the Atlantic, only a few hours by plane, there's London, the capital of the United Kingdom. The Thames has played an important role in the history of this ancient port. The Palace of Westminster is found on the banks of this river. In 1605, Guy Fawkes dug a tunnel under it to plant a bomb. He was then arrested and executed. If we carry on down the river, we come to Tower Bridge, behind the Tower of London, which is on your left. This is where the beefeaters watch over the royal family's jewels. If they were ever lost, the queen wouldn't have a crown any more.
  • 89. And can you imagine the queen without a proof of identity? On the other side of the Channel, on the European continent, royal families have almost all disappeared. Among those that remain are the Spanish, Belgians and Dutch. This castle, in the southwest of France, probably belonged to a noble and rich family, which must have suffered a lot in 1789 during the French Revolution. We can say that the people of the period lifted their heads up high in rebellion and the aristocrats lost theirs! France then became the country of human rights. Let's discover the last monument constructed during Napoleon's reign: the Arc de Triomphe. At the foot of this monument rests the unknown soldier, in homage to all the fallen soldiers of World War I, which ravaged Europe at the beginning of the twentieth century. A flame stays permanently alight in memory of them lest we may forget... If we go down the Champs-Elysées, we come to the largest square in Paris: the place de la Concorde. Let's change scenery completely, cross the Rhine and go to Cologne. This town is famous for its gothic style cathedral. It's so big! Let's leave the north for warmer places! For Barcelona, notably, which was the birthplace of the artist Gaudí. His bold and singular creations brighten the town and the tourists love to visit these colourful monuments.

I'm at the end of my tether! The Managing Director went away on business for a few days. Since he arrived late at the hotel, he needed to get a bite to eat. Throughout the year the hotel received many prestigious guests. Staff accommodated guests in such a manner that they felt totally at ease. The hotel provided excellent facilities like state-of-the-art technology for business people. In fact, the hotel catered for all the Managing Director's requests
  • 106. This hotel employee is very smart in his outfit. The hotel where he works must surely have several stars. But the employees’ elegance isn’t everything. Indeed, everything must be perfect in a hotel: the organisation, the service and even the smile. It’s surprising to see the number of people who, satisfied with a place, come back to it every year. Take, for example, a simple breakfast. It seems very ordinary to order a full breakfast and to ask for it to be served to you in bed. But it’s not as easy for the bellboy to bring it to you and not stumble on the stairs. Mind you don’t spill anything! Sitting in her bed, waiting patiently for her coffee, the guest obviously has no idea of all this. Whatever the time and whatever the event, the waiter must always listen and be at the guest’s service. The noisiest place in a hotel, and where people are the busiest, is probably the kitchen. The hotel manager, moreover, is found more often there than in his office. Managing staff is always difficult, especially when it’s a team of chefs who want, at all costs, to accompany the head chef’s dish with a bilberry sauce, when a simple orange sauce, ten times less costly, would be perfectly adequate! They cut, grate, sprinkle, peel, scale fish... What talent! It’s a true culinary art.
  • 107. The meal is a significant element among those services provided in a hotel and the food must be irreproachable. Obviously, the produce must be fresh and that requires working with a reliable supplier. The fruits and vegetables are imported from the four corners of the globe and it’s necessary to have complete confidence in the company in charge of delivering the goods. It’s impossible to plan for two hundred covers without being certain of getting in time, and on time, fresh produce of an excellent quality. The choice of the supplier depends on the best quality-price ratio and the delivery time. It’s not uncommon to call upon the services of several professionals at the same time. The restaurant opens its doors at the beginning of the evening and it’s not unusual to see customers come in who aren’t staying in the hotel. All the waiters and waitresses are dressed up to the nines: shoes well polished, hair well groomed, ties well done up, skirts well ironed... As usual for the service sector, a restaurant’s success depends enormously on its reputation. The service must be impeccable. When you have a job in the service sector, never forget that the customer is always right! And if he does happen to be wrong, keep it to yourself!
  • 108. If the customer is wrong... tell your boss. tell everyone. tell him. keep him quiet. don't tell him. walk away. How is the first employee in the video dressed? He is badly dressed. He is inelegant. He is well dressed. He is dressed like royalty. His clothes are too small. His clothes are too large. Why do people return to the same hotel every year? They are very happy with it. They appreciate the coffee. They like the waiter's clothes. They are friends with the manager. They want breakfast in bed. They appreciate the breakfast.
  • 109. What is meant by 'irreproachable'? It is quite good. It is faulty. It is not bad. It is of average quality. It is without fault. It is extremely bad. What is meant by 'to stumble'? To fall over To walk quickly To climb the stairs To run To jump To walk down the stairs Where are the fruits and vegetables imported from? They are not imported They are grown locally From corner shops From four suppliers From four countries From all over the world What is meant by 'dressed up to the nines'? You got dressed at 9 o'clock
  • 110. Dressed very badly You get undressed at 9 o'clock Dressed very smartly Dressed like a waiter Dressed like eight other people Which two words have similar meaning? Irreproachable and Impeccable Satisfied and Impeccable Groomed and Ironed Adequate and Reliable Irreproachable and Reliable Groomed and Adequate Which of these words is not a way of preparing food? Peel Scale Spill Grate Sprinkle Cut Which of these statements is untrue? All of the restaurant's customers are from the hotel.
  • 111. Some of the restaurant's customers are from outside the hotel. The restaurant starts serving at the start of the evening. The waiters' and waitresses' shoes are well polished. The hotel manager is often found in the kitchen. The hotel manager is sometimes in the office. The training course 1 h 29 I'd like you to use your work placement to set up new training programs for H H It must be difficult to keep them up to date with new metal technologies. I'm sure the employees appreciate your commitment. Have you contacted the Training and Enterprise Council? Wherever they work, all our employees need training. But we're not always sure how to offer it to them. How much do you know about training workshops? The TEC course offers are on their website.
  • 112. We could set up in-company training. I'm told the National Training Organisation can advise us on that. In any case, I'd like you to ask the heads of department what they believe is needed. I'll start with Production. Accounting might be a good place to start. You'll have the results and a plan of action by next week. Hi, I'm the Production director. What can I do for you? Within two months, we'd like to have training workshops running. The question is what I can do for you! We'd like to help train your people. We'd like to start training workshops for the employees on the shop floor. We could do with some training on all this new technology we've been getting. We had record amounts of scrap from our last run of steel bolts! Unfortunately, it's a hundred miles' drive to the nearest training centre. We'll have to plan on work-based training, I suppose. Day release is one possibility to consider.
  • 113. Funding assistance may be available if we train in-company I think in-house training is probably the best option, as you say. But how will we know if we're up to standard? The NTO will guide us through the process if we need their help. The National Vocational Qualifications can be helpful. Why don't we contact the equipment manufacturer? It's agreed, then: we'll train in-company on the new machines. Let's meet to develop a syllabus next week. How about Friday? I would rather meet later this week if possible. When do you think we can begin the training? So you'd like the TEC to help update our employees' skills. Absolutely. At H H we believe in lifelong learning. Yes, but we'd like to do so within the plant. What company can afford not to? What kind of training do our workers need exactly? They're having trouble adjusting to the new machine.
  • 114. Above all, they need training on the LD-20. We've invested in new technology, and we need to train them on it. We can do workplace assessments for you if you train in-company, and we'll provide you with a syllabus if you need it as well. Is there anything else I can do before our meeting next week? Everything seems quite all right for the time being. That's all for now, but I'll be in touch! No, I can't think of anything else. So only the marketers will be trained off-site, then? The others will be trained here according to the NTO standards. Yes, they'll be doing a one-week training course in six months' time. That's right! What sort of training will the marketing team be receiving? The training course is about using the Internet as a marketing tool. It's a course on marketing and new media.
  • 115. They're getting a refresher course on brand management. The company's been waiting to exploit the Internet more. The marketing director is reluctant, though. But are our products right for Internet marketing? That's what the marketing director said. That's a relief. We've had some problems in that area. Well, you're only as good as your brand name. Hopefully the course will help. So far we've been working without the necessary training. Well, let's get to work on planning our work-based training, then! Shall we meet in a few days? I'm not sure I'll have what I need by then.

  • 127. Congratulations! You've got your certificate of higher education. The time has come to go and look for work. The telephone quickly becomes essential. Having sent several curriculum vitae, you are finally called in for an interview. Try not to seem too tense, otherwise you risk making a bad impression. Luckily for you, your application has been accepted. You're hired! Welcome to the team! Becoming a worker does, however, present a few inconveniences: commuting every day takes a very long time and the traffic jams are never-ending! And that's not counting the taxes you'll have to pay! By the way, what career have you chosen? Are you a waiter? Do you work as a shop assistant? On the market? So no more lie-ins for you! Or have you chosen a career where a uniform is compulsory? Like in the police or the army? Watch out for Sergeant Nit-picker, he doesn't miss a thing! For certain jobs, suits are to be worn. Appearance counts a great deal. Receptionists must always be well dressed, secretaries as well, because they are the first to come into contact with clients. It is important for estate agents to make a good impression, just as it is for car dealers. Does a tie make one look more credible? What judge would listen to a plaintiff wearing jeans and a jumper? None.
  • 128. No more than the person to be tried would accept the decision of a judge in a T-shirt and tennis shoes. There are some jobs that are done outdoors, like those of a farmer, horticulturist, fisherman or shepherd. One job done from above, in a total lack of oxygen, is that of an astronaut! You mustn't suffer from vertigo if you want to work way up there! Racing driver is another high-risk profession. Being a professional golfer is less dangerous, but it demands just as much discipline. You must have courage and patience to reach the top and become champion. Footballers train for years before reaching their goal! Their careers are short-lived, like those of dancers. But don't think it's any easier working from home, especially if you've got your children to look after! There are also people who change career-paths. Criminals who steal money suddenly find out they have a new vocation, that of prisoner! There are others who don't want to succeed by legal means. They prefer to falsify important documents. To become a company manager, you must have ambition, motivation and talent, you have to work hard and not go to sleep! Then you can harvest the fruits of your labour by purchasing, for example, a beautiful car, a flat in town, a house in the country with

Outdoor jobs Careers Taxes Higher Education Commuting Curriculum Vitae What do footballers and dancers have in common? Neither of them have children. Their careers aren't very long. They have lots of children. They wear the same shoes. Neither of them are professional. They are both usually female. Which of these words have similar meaning? Profession and Plaintiff Shepherd and Plaintiff Vocation and Shepherd

A uniform is not mandatory. A uniform must be worn. Their careers are very short. What is an inconvenience of working at the market? You must wake up late. You must commute every day. You must wake up early. You must wear a tie. You must wear a uniform. You must work late every day. What is suggested about both judges and plaintiffs? They both wear T-shirts. They are more credible than tennis players. Appearance is important. They work indoors. Appearance is not important.
