1 What do you see in the photo?

It’s in an 1 . I see a 2 of four young people. Three of them are sitting at
a table and one is 3 , showing some documents.

2 How do the people feel and why?

All the people 4 nervous and angry. I think they are 5 . Maybe one of
them has made a 6 and the boss is angry.

3 What would you do if your boss started to shout at you angrily in front of everybody?
First, I would ask what has 7 . Maybe my boss thinks I did something which I didn’t do.
I would try to explain the situation first. I don’t think I 8 shout at him.

4 Have you ever made a serious mistake that caused a lot of problems? Talk about it.
Yes, I have. Two years ago, when I was 9 my dad in his office, I put some very
important documents into the wrong file and nobody could find them for a long time. My dad
lost some money because of that. I never helped my dad in the office again.
