‫عن تعليمات العمل‬

Human Resource Manager: Welcome to Danny and Dane, Roger.

Do you have any questions?

Roger : Yes, what time do I report to work each day?

Human Resource Manager: You should report at 8:00 a.m. each

day.

Human Resource Manager: No, but you must wear a tie.

Roger : Will I be required to work overtime?

Human Resource Manager: 

Sometimes, you have to work
overtime but we will pay you extra.

Roger : Okay. What about my salary?

Human Resource Manager: 

Your salary will be $700.00 per

raise of 8% after your first year. You
will be paid bi-weekly on the 1st and
the 15th of every month.

Human Resource Manager: Your health insurance will go into

effect after you have been here for
60 days.

Roger: Does the company pay for my health insurance or will it

be deducted from my check?

Human Resource Manger: The Company will pay 100% for your
coverage but if you wish to add your
family to the policy, you will have to
pay for them.

Roger : That won’t be necessary; my wife has covered with

her company.

Human Resource Manger: Do you have any other questions?

Roger : Yes, what about sick days? How many do I get?

Human Resource Manger: You are allowed one sick day every
two months but you must notify me
by 7:00 a.m. if you are not coming to
work.

Human Resource Manger: 

You are eligible for one week
vacation after you have been with the
company one year.

know for sure, unless there is something negative
in your credit report, there should be no problem.

ASSIGNING BLAME IN A CAR ACCIDENT ‫القاء اللوم يف حادث سيارة‬

Terry and Stacey have just been involved in a car accident and are
discussing whose fault the accident was.
Terry : Are you okay?
Stacey : Yeah, I think so. I’m just a little shaken up, but look at my car!
Terry : Mine is in pretty bad shape, too. At least it doesn’t look
like a total loss.
Stacey : Do you have insurance?
Terry : Yes, of course. I think we should call the police. We will
need the report for the insurance companies.
Stacey : Yes, we must have an accident report.

32 Level 5
 Terry : While we wait, we can exchange insurance information.
Stacey : Good idea. Who is your insurance with?
Terry : I have my insurance with New York Life. The number
is 918273645. My agent’s name is John Winter and the
telephone number is 1-800-222-9987.
Stacey : Mine is with Prudential. The number is 192837465 and
the number is 1-800-656-3537. My agent’s name is Judy
Smiley.
Terry : Right. I’ll put in a claim today and your insurance should
pay to repair both of our cars.
Stacey : What? This accident wasn’t my fault. You crashed into
me! You rear ended me!
Terry : That’s only because you swerved in front of me and
slammed on your brakes!
Stacey : I did no such thing. I changed lanes and you began
tailgating me. That’s why you rear ended me. I’m not to
blame here.
Terry : That’s your account of what happened, and I certainly
don’t agree. I say we each call our respective insurance
companies and let them battle it out.
Stacey : Fine. There’s no point in arguing with someone who
won’t own up to his mistakes.
Terry : Those are my thoughts exactly.

the water.

Patient : ‘ah’

Doctor : OK. Everything looks ship shape. I’m going to order

some blood work and that’s about it. Take this slip to
the front desk and they’ll arrange an appointment for
the tests.
