Listening
Exercise 1
You are going to hear a talk between Ian Hampden and Peter Wiles. Before you listen to the conversation look at these statements. After you have listened to the tape determine whether these statements are true (T) or false (F). Explain why.
1. |
Bob Hardiman's been with the firm since it started, and he's the only real craftsman they've got. |
2. |
Ian Hampden disagrees with H.G. that there's no call for elaborate hand-carving on desks those days; he is sure they need hand-carved desks. |
3. |
Peter assumes that the only chance to save the old man from redundancy may occur at the Pension Fund Trustees' Meeting, because his name's bound to come up if he's being dismissed; his pension will have to be approved. |
4. |
Ian doubts that Bob Hardiman can be saved from redundancy because the two of them are against H.G., Ambrose Harper and Mr. Buckhurst, company secretary. |
5. |
Ambrose Harper has a very soft heart and the pension scheme itself was his idea. He will agree with H.G. and Mr. Buckhurst when he comes to the Pension Fund Meeting. |
6. |
Hardiman left the firm for a while about two years ago because he had to look after his father. He came back to Harper & Grant Ltd. five months ago, when his father died. |
7. |
He left all the contributions he had paid into the pension fund in the fund and still qualifies for a pension. |
8. |
There is nothing to worry about because Bob Hardiman is entitled to the full pension according to the articles of the pension fund. |
Exercise 2
Listen to the following extract from the recording which shows how the situation progressed at the Pension Fund Meeting. Try to complete the gaps, using no more than three words in each case.
Grant: |
Well, gentlemen, this isn't going … … … very long. You've seen Mr. Buckhurst's … … … . They're impeccable as usual. So it's only a question of approving them … … … of the record. Right. Do you all … … … ? Good. Well, that's all. I presume there's no … … ? |
Ian: |
Well, there is one thing more, H.G. The question … … , the case of … … . |
Grant: |
That's … … … . He gets … … , less three years, or whatever it is. You'll see to that, won't you? |
Ian: |
I don't think it's quite … … … that. |
Peter: |
There seems to be … … … , H.G. You see, Hardiman left us … … … , as you know. |
Grant: |
I know very well he did. I've just said so. |
Peter: |
Quite so. But I felt I should look up … … of … … . Ian, of course, is already aware of this. It seems that if … … of employment is interrupted … … … six months a further period … … … has to be worked before the employee … … … a full pension. If Hardiman continues with us until he's … … … , that is, in three years' time, there is, of course, … … . He will be … … . But as things stand at present he would get, at … … … only about … … of his pension. And we … … … that situation with such an old employee. It would … … … no good at all. He will, naturally, have … … … out of the company's funds to make … … up to … … … . |
Grant: |
But that's preposterous! |
Peter: |
But it does seem to be … … … to do. |
Grant: |
We'll just have … … … . |
Peter: |
That would require … … … , of course. |
Grant: |
Oh dear! |
