【原文】W: It’s a pretty good conference, huh?
M: Yeah. All speakers are well-known and knowledgeable in the subject matter. Did you listen to
John Miller’s speech on how to avoid business risks this morning?
W: No, I missed that one. I went to a speech at Alan Brown Hall. The speaker was David Thompson.
M: Oh, that should be a good one, too. I attended his lecture last year. By the way, there will be a workshop this
afternoon on how to motivate employees. Are you interested?
W: Sure. I was promoted to the position of manager a few months ago. And I have to manage a staff of 12 people. It
can be quite a difficult situation sometimes. That’s why I am here today.
M: Same here. I only have seven people reporting to me. Yet, sometimes I feel like pulling my hair out. I need to
find a way to create harmony within my department.
