Hello again and welcome to English at work.
-
It's another day at tip top, trading on hopefully a happier one.
-
Following Dinis is bad news about her job.
-
I wonder if Tom and Anna are about to get the same bad news.
-
It's really awful having to let a member of your staff go.
-
But that's the situation we're in, I'm afraid.
-
And now you're gonna let us go on you.
-
Honestly, Paul, I've given my life to this company and, quite frankly, un disappointed.
-
No, I'm angry at your decision.
-
So your biscuits?
-
Well, Tom, that's what I think of tiptop trading.
-
What?
-
Hold on, Tom.
-
I think you're a bit confused.
-
Are not sacking you too?
-
I need to talk to you about plastic vegetables.
-
You know the Opa gene idea.
-
Oh, I say you're not sacking us.
-
Sorry.
-
Pull our buy you some more biscuits.
-
So what was it that you had to say?
-
Plastic vegetables.
-
Yours and Anna's idea for a plastic obey gene.
-
I like it.
-
It's good.
-
So I need you to develop a prototype we can use to show our potential clients.
-
Well, that's great.
-
So where do we get the prototype made upstairs on the fourth floor.
-
We have a great development team who can magic up some amazing designs.
-
They're magicians now, Anna.
-
They're just developers who make things out.
-
Plastic.
-
Thank you, Tom.
-
Look, why not go and have a chat to them now and get the ball rolling?
-
But we know making balls.
-
I'll come on and I'll explain.
-
See a po to get the ball rolling.
-
He means to get the project moving along.
-
Developers can design and make models of your products, which you can show and develop, but you need to give them clear and specific instructions.
-
Let's see how Anna gets on.
-
So this is the development team.
-
All right, George, you up for a footie on Sunday?
-
Great.
-
You met Anna before?
-
Hello.
-
We've come to talk vegetables.
-
Try the greengrocers.
-
Very funny yet.
-
No.
-
We need to talk Plastic.
-
Oh, Beijing making mate.
-
It's our new big idea.
-
Easy.
-
We can just remote the design for the imperial lemons.
-
Can they, Anna?
-
Is that what you want it to get what you want?
-
You need to explain exactly your requirements, but what shall I say?
-
Tell them exactly what you were thinking by saying I have a specific idea in mind on.
-
I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on how to improve my ideas.
-
Andi, I'd like to use your design skills to produce a fantastic product.
-
I see.
-
Okay.
-
Time for me to take control, George.
-
This is quite a special project for us, isn't it, Tom?
-
Oh, yeah, Right.
-
Absolutely.
-
So we want to get it right.
-
And I already have a specific idea in mind.
-
Oh, great.
-
Sure.
-
Tell me more.
-
Well, based on a really or vision, I was hoping it could be 20 centimeters in length using great one plastic resin with a black purple color.
-
Andi Ah, 30 degree curve on that site.
-
Does that make sense?
-
Yeah.
-
Court Clear.
-
Obviously, you are a designer, so I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on how to improve our idea.
-
Well, it looks very impressive.
-
Already cost Tom when you get her from.
-
He didn't get me from anywhere.
-
Now I'd like to use your design scales to develop a fantastic product that I can show everyone.
-
Okay.
-
Uh, yes.
-
I'll get on to it straightaway.
-
Excellent, Tana.
-
Sometimes it's important to take control and say what you really want, but in a positive and encouraging way.
-
Thes air the phrases that Anna used.
-
I have a specific idea in mind.
-
I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on how to improve my ideas.
-
I'd like to use your design scales to produce a fantastic rode up.
-
There's one more phrase to use to make sure things go to plan.
-
If someone's making something for you, that is.
-
I need to sign off your designs before they go into production.
-
That means approved the plans before anything is made.
-
Off you go, Anna.
-
So when will you have to defines?
-
Ready, then hopefully by tomorrow morning.
-
Is that okay?
-
That would be great, but I will need to sign off your designs before they go into production.
-
That way there won't be any mistakes.
-
Well, they're cranky, Tom.
-
She's a bit bossy.
-
She's a Percy.
-
Can't really be ever softy.
-
Now, come on, Tom, fetch my thinks.
-
We need to go and sort out and living person for Denise.
-
Oh, yeah, Right.
-
Of course.
-
See you, George.
-
Who?
-
I think Tom's that pussycat.
-
Let's hope the designs come out.
-
Well, that even more important is Denise his last day at work tomorrow.
-
How's everyone going to code?
