Welcome to Sports Express everyone. Before you start your summer jobs, I'd like to give you some information. As you know we have two floors. Here on the ground floor we have all our sports clothes. On the first floor you can find the sports equipment. The staffroom and toilets are on the first floor too. Now … breaks and lunch. You have a fifteen-minute break in the morning, forty-five minutes for lunch and another fifteen-minute break in the afternoon. You must take lunch between twelve and half past one. The shop closes at 8 p.m. every weekday and on Saturdays, and at 4 p.m. on Sundays. I think you all have a timetable of your hours. Most of our staff work 35 hours a week, but the twelve of you will only do 25. If you have any other questions you can ask me or my manager Mr Jordan, That’s J-O-R-D-A-N if you want to email.

Brian: Yes, I’ve got all the information,

Fiona: Great, so, what time are we meeting?

Brian: We all have to meet at nine o’clock in the hall.

Fiona: Of course I won’t be late. And what happens when we get there?

Brian: Well, we’re having a tour of the newspaper office first, then there’s a talk. That finishes at about twelve.

Fiona: It should be really interesting! And how much does it cost? It’s £10, isn’t it?

Brian: No, it’s a bit more expensive – it’s £15 each.

Fiona: OK. And does that include lunch there as well?
