Problem: Read the below conversation. W: I don't know what to do. I can't seem to get anyone in the hospital to listen to my complaints and this outdated equipment is dangerous. Just look at it. 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? What would the listener say?

A: 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.

A: Woman: I'm afraid you can't. You'd better go to the hooking office.

Problem: Read the below conversation. M: Wow, your coat's got very dirty. Did you fall? W: Yes, I had a terrible experience on the underground train when I was on the way to work. I tell you, a man came up to me and pulled out a knife. He pointed it right at me. M: Oh, no. Are you all right? Did he hurt you? W: No, he didn't, but he took my handbag. M: Then what happened? What did you do? W: I caught hold of his knife and he pushed me to the floor. M: Oh, no. Why did you catch hold of his knife? That's dangerous. W: I don't know. I didn't think. M: What did the other passengers do? Did they help you? W: Yes. Two men ran after the robber and held him. M: Did the police come? W: Yes, the police were called and two policemen came and took the robbers to the police station. What would the listener say?

A: M: What a story! Thank God, you are all right.
