Charlotte's First Day at the Supermarket

ANNOUNCER: Part 1. You will hear a supervisor in a supermarket talking to a new worker on her first day. First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 6. Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 6.

KAEDEN: Hello, Charlotte. I'm Kaeden, one of the supervisors. Welcome to the team.

CHARLOTTE: Hi, Aiden.

KAEDEN: Uh. It's Kaeden.

CHARLOTTE: I'm so sorry.

KAEDEN: Oh, don't worry. People often get my name wrong. They never know how to spell it. It's K A E D E N, in case you ever need to write it.

CHARLOTTE: I'll try and remember.

KAEDEN: So, there are a few practical things you need to sort out this morning. Then I'll show you what you're going to do today.

CHARLOTTE: The email I received said to go to the front desk to show my letter of appointment and pick up my badge.

KAEDEN: You'll need that for the staffroom and other areas of the supermarket where shoppers aren't allowed.

After you've finished at the front desk, I'll take you to the staffroom. Put your coat and rucksack in one of the lockers there. Take whichever one is free.

CHARLOTTE: Will I have a key?

KAEDEN: Yes, try not to lose it. At the end of the day, leave it in the door for the next person to use.

CHARLOTTE: Will do.

KAEDEN: You also need to go to the HR department to see Tiffany. She's really helpful.

CHARLOTTE: I was told to bring my passport with me. HR need to take a note of the number.

KAEDEN: That's right. Or you can show your ID card.

CHARLOTTE: I don't have one.

KAEDEN: That's fine. Tiffany will give you a uniform. They have lots in different sizes.

I won't come with you because I've got to sort out a problem with a bread slicer.

CHARLOTTE: Is the HR office near the staffroom?

KAEDEN: The staffroom is on the first floor and HR is on the third floor. There's a staircase outside the staffroom.

When you're finished, come and find me in the bakery section.

KAEDEN: I'll give you my phone number in case you can't find me.

ANNOUNCER: Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 7 to 10.

KAEDEN: Your tasks today are in the bakery, the sushi counter, and the meat and fish counters.

First check the sell-by dates on bread and cakes. If the date is today, add a yellow price label.

If the label is older than yesterday, throw the item away.

At the sushi counter you will bring more plastic boxes from the storeroom and clean the preparation area.

But you must not wash knives. Ask someone to put them in the dishwasher.

Finally at the meat and fish counters, clean the serving area and wipe the weighing scales.

If the ice under the fish melts, bring more from the cold-room.

Remember to wear thermal gloves when you go inside.

ANNOUNCER: That is the end of Part 1. You now have one minute to check your answers.
