 LESSON 1
THE FIRST DAY AT THE OFFICE
Mr. Nagamo, the personnel Officer, was working in his office when there was a knock at
the door. “Come in,” he said.
Emi, the new secretary, came into the the room. “Have you settled in yet?” he asked.
“Yes, I have. I have already made some new friends, too, replied Emi.
“Good. I’d like you to type these letters for me. Then you’ve got to take some dictation.
You may have done this sort of thing in your former job. I hope will get on smoothly,” said Mr.
Nagamo.
Emi nodded.
“I did not fill in the date, the address and the salutation,” Mr. Nagamo continued. “Would
you mind checking and filling them in?”
Emi went down to the second floor to get the stationery she would require. Then she went
back up and started on her work. Within a few minutes, she had typed the letters.
After this, she was in and out of Mr. Nagamo’s office doing her various duties. Emi’s first
day at the office was quite overwhelming. She had to do various jobs. She had to answer the
telephone, hang on and search for any information required or connect the call through to Mr.
Nagamo. She also had to plug in the kettle and make tea for Mr. Nagamo and his visitors.
Meanwhile, she had to carry on with her typing.
By the end of the day, she was truly exhausted. She was very glad that she could finally go
home.
