Day 35:Englishpod(Daily Life ‐ He’s not a Good Fit)

Hey, guys,

I am Carla.

今天家里边停电了,电脑和手机都快没电,我只希望它能支撑我完成这篇文章。现在这天气,停电真的是一种对人心,身心的考验啊。


Englishpod 三十五期(👈听力音频)

A: So, Lauren, I just wanted to talk to you quickly about

our new customer support representative, Jason Huntley.

B: Sure, what’s up?

A: Basically, I’ve got a few concerns about him, and the

bottom line is, I don’t think he’s a good fit for our

company.

B: Okay... what makes you say that? I thought you were

pleased with his overall performance. Didn’t you just tell

me last week how impressed you were with his attitude?

A: Yeah, his attitude is great, but he’s really unreliable.

Sometimes he’s really productive, but then other times...

take last Tuesday for instance, he was forty-five minutes

late for our morning meeting!

B: Well, I’m sure he had a perfectly good reason...

A: But that’s not the only thing... you know, he really

doesn’t have the best work ethic, I’m constantly catching

him on MSN and Facebook when he should be talking to

clients.

B: Yeah, but come on, Geoff, as if you don’t check

Facebook at work. Look, you hired this guy, we’ve

invested a lot of time and money in his training, so now

it’s up to you to coach him. Make it work, Geoff!

A: Make it work, Geoff. You would say that, wouldn’t you,

he is your cousin; what a jerk, make me hire your stupid,

useless, cousin.
