Hi, everyone. I just need all of the cooks to listen for a second. Our restaurant has received a few customer complaints. Apparently, the sliced vegetables that go in our chef’s salad have been brown and too soft. This is unacceptable. So cooks, remember that we do not use vegetables that are more than a day old. We can’t serve poor quality salads at our restaurant. Mark, please sort through the bin of cut vegetables and throw out any that aren’t fresh.

Good afternoon, and welcome to Radio Five local news. Crowds have already started gathering near the Millvale stadium for this evening’s championship soccer match.

If you’re going to the game, you can expect a lot of traffic on roads around the stadium, so you should consider taking public transportation.

Hi, Ms. Farrell. It’s Bonnie Wolfberg from Goodlane Real Estate returning your call. I understand you’re interested in putting your home up for sale next month, and I’d be happy to help you with that. The first step of this process is for me to view your property. After the visit, I can give you an idea of the price you could potentially get for your home. We have a list of buyers looking for houses in your area and could probably make a sale relatively quickly. Unfortunately, I’m leaving town tonight to go on vacation, so I won’t be able to meet with you until next week. I hope that’s all right.

OK, before we open this morning, I’d like to talk to you about a couple of things. First—the break room.

Keep in mind that everyone working here uses the break room, and it ought to be kept neat and clean. So, if you put any personal belongings in there, please take them with you at the end of your shift. There was one other thing, but, uh, the store’s opening in a few minutes. Thanks.

Thanks for joining us today on a tour of our newest art exhibit. This exhibit features the works of Martina Santos, who specializes in making mosaics.

That’s because Ms. Santos draws her inspiration from nature. OK, let’s get started. While we walk through the exhibit, I’ll provide you with some information on each mosaic. And at the end of our tour, we’ll stop at the front desk, where you can pick up a free postcard with images of Ms. Santos’ most famous works of art.

Thanks everyone for coming to Alina’s farewell party. I know I speak for the entire marketing department here at Kushing Cosmetics when I say we’ll miss working with her. We all appreciate her positive attitude and ability to understand customer needs. She was only with us one year, and during that time sales of our new cosmetics line increased by ten percent! Fortunately, she’s not leaving the company but just transferring to the Singapore branch office, so we’ll be able to keep in touch. Best of luck, Alina.

Let’s briefly discuss our progress in developing our new handheld G-Tech video game device. We had 25 employees from other departments test out the prototype, so let’s look at the results. Most of them really liked the appearance. Hmm… we won’t be able to change the weight of the device at this point. But look at this other feature: only ten people liked it. So that’s what I want our team to work on – I know we can do better. Please, send me some ideas by the end of the week. We’ll have a brainstorming session on Monday to make a final decision.

Welcome to our fifth annual company retreat here at Bankbury Nature Preserve. This morning we’ll start with some hiking. There are four trails to choose from, but I highly recommend going out to the Mountain Lodge. You’ll get a great view of the entire nature preserve from up there, and it’s a nice spot to stop for lunch. Now, don’t forget that we’ll be meeting at the Wildflower Garden at three p.m. for some teambuilding activities, so please make sure to leave enough time to hike over there. Before we split into our groups, I’m going to come around and hand out water bottles.
