Câu tường thuật (Reported Speech), còn được gọi là câu gián tiếp

(Indirect speech) thường được dùng để tường thuật lại lời nói của

một ai đó mà không làm thay đổi nghĩa của toàn bộ câu. Khi viết lại

câu gián tiếp, lời nói đó không đặt trong dấu ngoặc kép.

Câu trực tiếp (Direct Câu tường thuật (Reported speech)

tart.

từ chỉ thời gian, nơi chốn cụ thể.

WOMAN: So, I understand you’re interested in restaurant work?
MAN: Yes. I’ve got a bit of experience and I can provide references.
WOMAN: That’s good. I can check all that later. Now, Milo’s
Restaurants have some vacancies at the moment. They’re a really good
company to work for. Lots of benefits.
MAN: Oh right.
WOMAN: Yes. They’ve got a very good reputation for looking after
staff. For example, all employees get training – even temporary staff. Q1
MAN: Oh really? That’s quite unusual, isn’t it?
WOMAN: Certainly is.
MAN: And do staff get free uniforms too?
WOMAN: Um … you just need to wear a white T-shirt and black
trousers, it says here. So I guess not … But another benefit of working
for a big company like this is that you can get a discount at any of their
restaurants. Q2
MAN: Even at weekends?
WOMAN: No, but you’ll be working then anyway.
MAN: Oh yes. I suppose so. Most of their restaurants are in the city
centre, aren’t they? So, easy to get to by bus?
WOMAN: Yes. That’s right. But if you have to do a late shift and finish
work after midnight, the company will pay for you to get a taxi home. Q3
MAN: I probably won’t need one. I think I’d use my bike.
WOMAN: OK. Now, they do have some quite specific requirements for
the kind of person they’re looking for. Milo’s is a young, dynamic
company and they’re really keen on creating a strong team. It’s really
important that you can fit in and get on well with everyone.
MAN: Yeah. I’ve got no problem with that. It sounds good, actually. The
last place I worked for was quite demanding too. We had to make sure
we gave a really high level of service. Q4
WOMAN: That’s good to hear because that will be equally important at
Milo’s. I know they want people who have an eye for detail.
AN: That’s fine. I’m very used to working in that kind of environment.
WOMAN: Perfect. So the only other thing that’s required is good
communication skills, so you’ll need to have a certificate in English. Q5
MAN: Sure.
——
WOMAN: OK. Let’s have a look at the current job vacancies at Milo’s.
The first one is in Wivenhoe Street. Q6
MAN: Sorry, where?
WOMAN: Wivenhoe. W-l-V-E-N-H-O-E. It’s quite central, just off Cork
Street.
MAN: Oh right.
WOMAN: They’re looking for a breakfast supervisor.
MAN: That would be OK.
WOMAN: So you’re probably familiar with the kind of responsibilities
involved. Obviously checking that all the portions are correct, etc., and
then things like checking all the procedures for cleaning the equipment are
being followed. Q7
MAN: OK. And what about the salary? In my last job I was getting
£9.50 per hour. I was hoping to get a bit more than that.
WOMAN: Well, to begin with, you’d be getting £9.75 but that goes up to
£11.25 after three months. Q8
MAN: That’s not too bad. And I suppose it’s a very early start?
WOMAN: Mmm. That’s the only unattractive thing about this job. But
then you have the afternoons and evenings free. So the restaurant starts
serving breakfast from 7 a.m. And you’d have to be there at 5.30 to set
everything up. But you’d be finished at 12.30.
MAN: Mmm. Well, as you say, there are advantages to that.
WOMAN: Now, you might also be interested in the job at the City Road
branch. That’s for a junior chef, so again a position of responsibility.
MAN: I might prefer that, actually.
WOMAN: Right, well obviously this role would involve supporting the
sous chef and other senior staff. And you’d be responsible for making
sure there’s enough stock each week – and sorting out all the deliveries.
Q9
MAN: I’ve never done that before, but I imagine it’s fairly
straightforward, once you get the hang of it.
WOMAN: Yes, and you’d be working alongside more experienced staff
to begin with, so I’m sure it wouldn’t be a problem. The salary’s slightly
higher here. It’s an annual salary of £23,000.
MAN: Right.
WOMAN: I know that if they like you, it’s likely you’ll be promoted quite
quickly. So that’s worth thinking about.
MAN: Yes. It does sound interesting. What are the hours like?
WOMAN: The usual, I think. There’s a lot of evening and weekend
work, but they’re closed on Mondays. But you do get one Sunday off
every four weeks. So would you like me to send off your … Q10
