Welcome back to your local radio station WXFD 93.7 with the morning news update. Yesterday the Clinton town council passed a new law prohibiting pet owners from bringing their pets on the public beaches. Tim Kellerman who is newly elected to the town council last month justified the decision by arguing that pets can bother other beach goers. Those who violate the law will have to pay a fine of 300 dollars. Up next, we will be taking calls from listeners to hear their reaction to this new measure.

Questions 83 through 85 refer to the following announcement.

Hi, everyone. Thanks for meeting with me today. I’d like to announce a few changes in a health and safety policy that are designed to conform to the new government regulations. Firstly, we can no longer work a shift longer than six hours without taking a one hour break. We’ll be using a clock in system that is automated to send you a text message once you reach six hours. You will also wear a device that monitors your time on the shift. It’s a very simple device, you just attach it to your work belt and it will do the rest, so you don’t need any training with that. Sharing helmets and work boots is also now prohibited. You’ll have to buy your own equipment and then later you can claim the money back on your tax return.

Well, it’s only been a year since we began operating out of Beijing. “Vizuw-Toi-Ting” has become a nationwide success. I got a call from a reporter at Phoenix Television and they want to do a 30 minute story documenting our rise to success. They want to interview the designers about the clothing we are creating here. Also, Xinhua Fashion Magazine wants to come in next Thursday and do a full photo shoot of one of our stores, so we need to book models for that day. They want to take photos of our new range of denim clothing. The publicity is really going to get our name out. Our success is going to skyrocket! We should expect to get a lot busier soon.

Questions 89 through 91 refer to the following announcement.

Hi, everyone. There have been some new regulations sent in from Head Office. Our productivity assessment was quite poor. They aren’t very happy with our performance compared to last year, so we’re going to have to put in some overtime to get ahead of schedule. We really need to stay on top of this, or some people might get fired. We are going to need to make a roster and work some weekend overtime shifts. We will have a rotation list so each staff member works one Saturday every three weeks. I know this is a burden, but once we get high enough above our targets things will go back to normal.
