Today is Monday, 1 August, 9 a.m. Look at Precious Radebe’s diary for this week. Her working hours are from nine to five.
Dan from the IT department calls her and asks when she is available this week. He needs to install new software on her computer and afterwards show her how to use it. This will take around two hours.
Precious runs through her diary entries to look for a suitable date and time. When is she available at the earliest?
Precious tries to find a free two-hour slot. Write down what she says to her colleague Dan during the phone call. You can use expressions such as at 2 p.m. but don’t always use the exact time because this doesn’t sound natural. The first two sentences are given as examples.
Well Dan, I don’t think I can fit you in today. In thirty minutes Mr Dougal will be here for a one-hour meeting. After that....
Continue with the rest of Monday and the rest of the week.

Write a memo
You have heard from some customers that two of your sales staff aren’t always properly dressed. Your firm has a dress code and this is included in the firm’s handbook, which all employees receive on their first day. The dress code tells employees which kind of clothes they can and cannot wear at work.
Write a memo to the sales staff and tell them about the complaints. Tell them where they can find the dress code and that they have to follow it.
Make sure that your memo is polite and not accusing. Your sales assistants are important for the firm’s success and the two employees who are not always properly dressed are generating very good sales results.
