My name's Janet Parker, and I'm the human resources manager of this company. Thank you for joining us and coming to this training session, which I hope will help you quickly learn about our company and know what you will do in your position. 00:00:33,240 First, I'll briefly introduce the history of our company. We're quite an old company specializing in electric toys for more than thirty years. The founder, Ronald Stevenson, got the idea of establishing his own company when he finished his apprenticeship. With the support of his grandfather, he got enough startup capital and the company was set up and succeeded in a short period. To satisfy the demands of customers, we've expanded the premises considerably over the past years, and the number of staff members has grown up on a regular basis. 00:01:18,060 Recently, we found the sales of our products creeping up very slowly, and we've decided to introduce new electronic toys to give that a boost. So we have to look for more workers to help us, and that's the reason why you are here. The first week may be pretty challenging as there will be a lot of new information, but don't worry too much about trying to remember everything. The important thing is to check with someone if you're unsure what to do. According to the contract, you'll be expected to work here for six months. Some of you asked me if there is a possibility for you to be employed as our full-time member. I can't give you a definite answer now. It'll depend on your job performance during the employment and whether we have job vacancies then. 00:02:18,740 About two hundred full-time staff members in our company, seventy percent of whom are responsible for sending out goods, while the minority of jobs are in the manufacturing line. You will work in different departments according to our needs, which I'll explain to you in detail later. Working in our company, you'll be impressed by our modern machinery and production methods, advanced skills, and friendly working atmosphere. However, I must tell you one thing which is not so pleasant, because the manager of the payroll department is on sick leave these days, I'm afraid that you won't get paid on time this month. But don't worry too much, it'll be solved very soon. 00:03:13,740 Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions sixteen to twenty. 00:03:29,400 Now listen and answer questions sixteen to twenty. 00:03:57,060 In the second part of this training session, I'll explain what you will be responsible for in the following working days. There are five positions, and you'll be working in different departments. As I've mentioned before, we're in urgent need of someone who can deal with the salary problem, so our staff can get paid as soon as possible, and that's the primary job for the first person. Then the second of you will be working in the manufacturing line to help develop new products, and I'm sure you will be pretty busy in the following days. The third person will work on the sixth floor, and your main job is to look after the mechanical side. It includes checking equipment daily to ensure they are working correctly and doing some repair work if necessary. Without your help, many processes like manufacturing or packaging won't work well. Then the fourth person will work in the technology department to deal with problems related to software and hardware. We're getting new laptops next week, and you must install new programs. And the last of you will work in the after-sale service department. You are expected to keep a long-term relationship with customers, including collecting feedback regularly, dealing with customer complaints, enhancing customer satisfaction, et cetera. 00:05:35,980 Okay, now that's all I want to share with you today. Are there any questions? 00:05:44,360 That is the end of part two. You now have half a minute to check your answers to part two. ## 题目与答案 ### 11. 11 What point is made about the history of the company? 11 What point is made about the history of the company? - It was quickly established - It took a long time to establish - It was set up by a relative **答案**：It was quickly established 原文定位：the company was set up and succeeded in a short period 同义替换：「quickly established」↔「set up in a short period」 ### 12. 12 Why should the company recruit more temporary staff? 12 Why should the company recruit more temporary staff? - It plans to develop new products - The old staff are having an illness - It aims to meet the new demands of customers **答案**：It aims to meet the new demands of customers 原文定位：To satisfy the demands of customers, we've expanded the premises considerably over the past years;Recently, we found the sales of our products creeping up very slowly, and we've decided to introduce new electronic toys to give that a boost.
