lesson 課文
whenever you start a new job, one of the key things to ask is what time you start and what time you finish. most company's business hours are 9am to 5pm but some workers start at 8.30am and finish at 6pm.
some companies ask their staff to do shift-work. shift-work means that you could start very early in the morning but finish earlier or start late in the night and then have all day to sleep.
whatever the time it is good advice to get there a little early but not to leave early. if you are always early and stay late the boss will notice and may promote you.
managers don't mind if you are late occasionally, but they will not be happy if you are late every day. remember it's your responsibility to get to work on time.
在你開(kāi)始一個(gè)新工作的時(shí)候,問(wèn)清楚你的工作時(shí)間是非常重要的。 絕大多數(shù)公司的辦公時(shí)間是從早上9點(diǎn)到下午5點(diǎn),但也有些公司從早上8:30開(kāi)始上班,有些要到晚上6:00才下班。
有些公司實(shí)行輪班工作制,所謂輪班工作制是指:你可以早點(diǎn)到公司,早走;或是晚到公司晚走。
無(wú)論如何,早一點(diǎn)到公司是好的,但不要提前離開(kāi)。如果你總是早到晚走的話,老板會(huì)注意到你的,說(shuō)不定還會(huì)給你升職的機(jī)會(huì)。
如果你偶爾遲到的話,經(jīng)理一般不會(huì)說(shuō)些什么,但如果你每天都遲到的話他可就要不高興了。要記。好刻鞙(zhǔn)時(shí)上班也是你工作職責(zé)的一部分。
dialogue
beth : can you tell me the time please, sally?
sally: sure, it's 8.55am. why do you ask?

sally: you're not late. in fact, you are a little early.
beth : you know i ran all the way from the subway station to the office and now i am exhausted.
sally: beth, you are always early or on time, so being a little late one day isn't a big deal.

薩麗:貝絲,你每天都按時(shí)上班,甚至提前到達(dá)辦公室,所以有一天晚一點(diǎn)兒的話真的算不了什么。
