the w ee k. Usually from about four. We keep them confined to that space so that the othe r end
can be used fo r free s w im m in g .
And w hat is the little round pool fo r?
We call that the toddlers pool. It's not very deep, and the m others often bring th e ir children in to
teach them to swim in it.
Great. Well, I am glad I can use the pool. It w ill be good to vary my exercise.
Definitely. When do you th in k you’ll be com ing?
Most likely in the evenings. I’d like to come on Saturdays, but I often w ork then, so I th in k I’ll
have to m iss that day and then come on Sundays.
Oh, so y o u 'll be a reg ula r visitor? T hat’s great news! Can I ask why you chose Sm ith's Gym?
Well, actually the television advert prom pted me to join . It makes exercising look so m uch fun! I
always thought going to the gym would be m onotonous.
No, not at all. It can be a lot of fun.
My aim is to reach my optim um fitn e s s . At the m om ent I th in k I'm a bit unhealthy, so I'd like to
change that.
Well, give it some tim e and I'm sure you w ill. Now, sh a ll we go back and com plete the payment
details?

Good m orning, everyone. I’d like to ta lk to you a ll about the departm ent restructure and how it
w ill affect our w o rk . As you know, the company is expanding, and this means w e’ll need to recruit
more staff and optim ise our wavs of w o rkin g . So I want to look at each of our team s and the
changes which are planned to sta rt next month. The Sales Team, headed by Gary Wilson, w ill be
responsible fo r not only increasing the am ount of business we do w ith our current custom ers but
also searching out new clients. As this is likely to be a labour-intensive task, Gary’s team w ill need
more staff, which is where Linda French’s Human Resources Team comes in. Linda and Gary w ill
collaborate on finding and employing tw enty new sales m em bers as soon as possible. However.
not a ll staff w ill be recruited from outside. If this company is going to continue to thrive, each of the
current team managers w ill need an assistant and these positions w ill be internal appointm ents.
Human Resources are sending out an em ail to a ll staff this week asking them if they would like to
apply fo r one of the new positions, and interviews w ill begin next month.
Now, in order fo r the Sales Team to increase revenue, the Research and Development Team
have to come up w ith some innovative products which w ill be better than those offered by other
com panies. Therefore, Zoe’s team w ill s ta rt a m onth-long project to learn more about w hat our
com petitors make to help inform our design process. Their ta rg et w ill be to design and create
two new ranges of products this year. As always, if any of you have an idea fo r a product, please
contact Zoe about it; a ll ideas are welcome.
Lastly, but just as importantly, I’d like to talk about Ian Smith's team. Obviously, after-care service
is crucial to the expansion of the company, so IT Support w ill be making sure that a ll our customers
are called to discuss our service as part of the follow-up system. Ian's team w ill also be upgrading our
client support package to facilitate tw enty-four-hour access, seven days a week. Ian believes strongly
that this w ill increase our competitiveness and be a real selling point for potential customers.
Welcome to this fire evacuation ta lk everyone. I'm Melanie Brookes, the fire safety m anager here
at Techbase, and my office is on the fo urth flo o r if you ever need to find me.
Today I w ant to run through the fire evacuation procedure now that we're in a new building. First
of all, can I just remind you that if you hear the fire alarm , you should always head towards the
main stairs in order to leave the building. Please assume that the alarm is real, except if it sounds
at 11.00 a.m. on a Tuesday. At this time, it’s always a test - we hope. It's vital that you do
not
spend
tim e collecting vour bags or personal belongings because this wastes valuable evacuation tim e .
When you have left the building, please look for the fire m arshals, who w ill be wearing fluorescent
