Question: M: Hello, this is Mike Landon here. Is Jack Cooper there by any chance? W: I am afraid not, he is away for a day or two, back on, let's see, Monday morning. M: Oh, well perhaps I can live a message for him. W: Yes, of course, just a minute. Now, let's see, to Jack Cooper from Mike London. M: No, Landon, L-a-n-d-o-n. W: Sorry, yes, got that, and what's the message? M: Well it's just this: could he come to a meeting on Monday afternoon at 5:00 pm? W: That's this coming Monday, October 12th? M: Right, it's to discuss the new factory in France. W: Fine, I've got that. I will see that he gets it as soon as he comes in on Monday. M: Good, thank you, goodbye.

[Q]: M: Well, obviously you have to write the name of the person or business in the center of the envelope. W: Okay. What next? M: On the second line, you write the address you are sending it to. Good, like that. W: I got it now. On the last line, I write the city it's going to and the district, right? M: Don't forget to write the return address in the upper - left corner in the same manner as the sending address. W: Now I just need to get a proper postage stamp.

[A]: W: I'm sending a letter to my friend by airmail. It's not insured or anything, but how do I address it, again?
input: Please answer the following: M: Hmm, uh, are you trying to say that it presents a health hazard? W: Yes, I am. The head technician in the lab tried to persuade the hospital administration to replace it, but they are trying to cut costs. M: You are pregnant, aren't you? W: Yes, I am. I made an effort to get my supervisor to transfer me to another department, but he urged me not to complain too loudly. Because the administration is more likely to replace me than an X-ray equipment, I'm afraid to refuse to work. But I'm more afraid to expose my unborn child to the radiation. M: I see what you mean. Well, as your union representative, I have to warn you that it would take quite a while to force management to replace the old machines and attempt to get you transferred may or may not be successful. W: Oh, what am I supposed to do then? M: Workers have the legal right to refuse certain unsafe work assignments under two federal laws, the Occupation or Safety and Health Act and the National Labor Relations Act. But the requirements of either of the Acts may be difficult to meet. W: Do you think I have a good case? M: If you do lose your job, the union will fight to get it back for you along with back pay, your lost income. But you have to be prepared for a long wait, maybe after two years.
