Hands on activity

My Dialogue is based on the first day at work; The Warm up is asking the students for words they will find in the reading. 

Do you know this word of phrase?  

• Show around
• Follow
• Open-door policy
•  Drop off
•   Handle
•  Treat
•   Reasonable
•   Last, but not least
•   Fill out
• Cubicle

First day at work:

Maria Cristina: Ida Luz, my name is María Cristina. Mrs. Castillo asked me to show you around.

Ida Luz: It´s nice to meet you.

Maria Cristina: Follow me. I´ll start the tour at the front desk. This is where we meet customers when they come to the office.

Ida Luz: It´s a nice area, customers probably like it.

Maria Cristina: Mrs. Castillo´s office is by the window. You can ask her questions any time.

Ida Luz: It´s nice to have a boss with an open door policy.

Maria Cristina: Yes, It´s great. To the left is the Human Resources Department. You can drop off your contract and other employment papers there later.

Ida Luz: How should I ask for in HR?

Maria Cristina: Ask for Luz Adriana. She handles all of the new employees. Just past HR is the cafeteria. If you have time this week, I´ll treat you to lunch and introduce you to the other representatives.

Ida Luz: I´d like that. Is the food good there?

Maria Cristina: It´s pretty good and reasonable too. Next, this hallway is where you can find the bathrooms and the meeting rooms.

Ida Luz: What meetings are held there?

Maria Cristina: We have our weekly sales meeting there.

Ida Luz: This is a big office.

Maria Cristina: It´s big, but we´re almost done. Last, but not least, here is the sales division. There are fourteen of us that share this space, but we each have our own cubicle.

Ida Luz: Sounds great.

Maria Cristina: Well, Ida Luz, it was nice meeting you. I´ll leave you at your desk. The papers you need to fill out for Human Resources are on your desk.

Ida Luz: Thanks for the tour, María Cristina.  J
