5.   Reading

 

Read the following text, from which four sentences have been removed. Choose from the sentences (A-E) the one which fits each gap (1-4) to obtain a logical and grammatically correct text. There is one extra sentence that you do not need to use.

 

There has been a large increase in the amount of attention companies are giving to the happiness of their employees. Research has shown that happy employees affect the productivity of the company. (1)             

The big question is how to put this knowledge into practice and create better (and happier) workplaces.

Big companies like Google and Pixar have made the headlines with their extreme approaches to improving the physical aspects of the workplace. (2)              One famous meeting room is shaped like an egg, with the interior covered completely in whiteboard material so that people can write all over the walls, floor and ceilings! Pixar famously allows its employees to travel around the offices on rollerblades for speed and fun!

As well as making the office a more fun place to work, employers are using other methods to encourage positive thinking amongst their workers. It is now accepted that yearly appraisals should focus on the positive rather than the negative aspects of an employee’s performance and more should be done to use a person’s strengths to help the workforce than to try to improve weaknesses. (3) One company actually starts meetings with a two-minute activity where people tell each other what they are most proud of having done that day.

To improve staff morale companies are also encouraged to hire people who are naturally happy, not grumpy or negative. Happiness is contagious but unhappiness is even more so. (4)  If, during their probation month, they find that they are not completely happy working for the company, they are given a large amount of money to quit! This ensures that only truly content workers stay with the company.

Many people still believe that work and happiness do not go together. However, these new approaches make a lot of business sense and may result in more people actually looking forward to going to work.

 

A    Another famous company, Zappos, is one of the only companies in the world to make its new workers a special offer.

B    Lunchtime should be time shared by colleagues, with entertainment provided by the company.

C    A happy employee means a happy customer and a happy customer means more business.

D  Modern practice encourages celebrating company successes and praising personal achievements.

E    Their investments range from installing slides for employees to travel between floors, minigolf and pool tables for quick, relaxing breaks and specially designed consulting spaces.

 

Find the words in the text  that  match meanings 1 -5.

 

1    become famous by being reported in the news  (expression) ____ (paragraph 2)

2     annually   ________ (paragraph 3)

3     enthusiasm of the employees (compound noun) _________  (paragraph 4)

4     passing easily from one person to another ________  (paragraph 4)

5     happy, satisfied ________  (paragraph 4)

 

 

Complete the sentences with the words or expressions from exercise.

 

1      ___________ is very low at the moment because several employees have been  made redundant.

2     The boss of our company _______ a few years ago because he gave everyone a pay rise of fifty per cent!  The story was in every newspaper.

3     Laughter is definitely _________  and telling jokes in the office makes for a good atmosphere.

4     I am perfectly _____________  with a part-time job.

 

6.   Grammar  revision

 

Students  we  use  phrase  used  to + infinitive  when  we  talk  about  things which  were  true  in  the  Past  but  aren’t  true  now.

Example  I  used  to  learn  French,  but  now  I  learn  English.

Make  the  following  sentences  negative  or  interrogative

 

1. Tom used to read a lot when he was a little boy.

?   Did Tom use to read a lot when he was a little boy?

2. They used to play squash on Sundays 5 years ago.

?

3. Kim used to walk to school when she was a child.

?

4. I used to have long hair when I was 10.

?

     5.   We used to travel a lot when we were young.

     ?

 

7.   Writing

 

Read  the  advertisement  for  the  position  of  a  journalist in a newspaper  and  read  an  application letter. Be very attentive,  because  your  home  task  will  be to  write  your own application letter.
