2023-02-02 02:34:30 OFFICER:         And can you remember anything else about his appearance?
LOUISE:           Not much. He was quite thin …
OFFICER:         Colour of hair?
LOUISE:           I do remember that – he was blond (Q9). All the others were dark-haired.
OFFICER:         And any details of the others?
LOUISE:           Not really. They came and went so quickly.
OFFICER:         Right. So what I’m going to do now is give you a crime reference number so you can contact your insurance company. So this is ten digits: 87954 82361 (Q10).
LOUISE:           Thank you. So should I …

SECTION 2
Good morning everyone. My name’s Janet Parker and I’m the human resources manager. We’re very happy to welcome you to your new apprenticeship. I hope that the next six months will be a positive and enjoyable experience for you.
I’d like to start with some general advice about being an apprentice. Most of you have very little or no experience of working for a big organisation and the first week or so may be quite challenging. There will be a lot of new information to take in but don’t worry too much about trying to remember everything. The important thing is to (Q11) check with someone if you’re not sure what to do – you’ll find your supervisor is very approachable and won’t mind explaining things or helping you out. You’re here to learn so make the most of that opportunity. You’ll be spending time in different departments during your first week so make an effort to (Q12) talk to as many people as possible about their work – you’ll make some new friends and find out lots of useful information.
As well as having a supervisor, you’ll each be assigned a mentor. This person will be someone who’s recently completed an apprenticeship and you’ll meet with them on a weekly basis. Their role is to provide help and support throughout your apprenticeship. Of course, this doesn’t mean they’ll actually do any of your work for you – instead they’ll be asking you about (Q13) what goals you’ve achieved so far, as well as helping you to identify any areas for improvement. You can also (Q14) discuss your more long-term ambitions with them as well.
————————–
Now I just want to run through a few company policies for our apprenticeship scheme with you… Most importantly, the internet. As part of your job you’ll be doing some research online so obviously you’ll have unlimited access for that but please (Q15) don’t use it for personal use – you’ll have your own phones for that.
Some of you have already asked me about flexible working. After your probationary three-month period – some of you will be eligible for this – but (Q16) it will depend on which department you’re in and what your personal circumstances are. So please don’t assume you’ll automatically be permitted to do this.
I want to make sure there’s no confusion about our holiday policy. Apart from any statutory public holidays (Q17) we ask that you don’t book any holidays until after your six-month apprenticeship has finished. Time off should only be taken if you are unwell. Please speak to your supervisor if this is going to be a problem.
You’ll be expected to work a 40-hour week but there may be opportunities to do overtime during busy periods. Although you’re not required to do this, (Q18) it can be a valuable experience – so we advise you to take it up if possible. Obviously, we understand that people do have commitments outside work, so don’t worry if there are times when you are unavailable.
As you know, we don’t have a formal dress code here – you may wear casual clothes as long as they’re practical – and the only restriction for shoes we have is on high heels for health and safety reasons. (Q19) Comfortable shoes like trainers are preferable.
There’s a heavily subsidised canteen on site where you can get hot meals or salads cheaply. Snacks and drinks are also provided – so (Q20) we’ve decided to introduce a no packed lunch policy. This is partly to encourage healthy eating at work and partly to stop people from eating at their workstation, which is unhygienic. Ochish/sharhlash

SECTION 1
OFFICER:         Good morning. What can I do for you?
LOUISE:           I want to report a theft. I had some things stolen out of my bag yesterday.
OFFICER:         I’m sorry to hear that. Right, so I’ll need to take a few details. Can I start with your name?
LOUISE:           Louise Taylor. (Example)
OFFICER:         OK, thank you. And are you resident in the UK?
LOUISE:           No, I’m actually Canadian (Q1). Though my mother was British.
OFFICER:         And your date of birth?
LOUISE:           December 14th, 1977.
OFFICER:         So you’re just visiting this country?
LOUISE:           That’s right. I come over most summers on business. I’m an interior designer and I come over to buy old furniture (Q2), antiques you know. There are some really lovely things around here, but you need to get out to the small towns. I’ve had a really good trip this year, until this happened.
OFFICER:         OK. So you’ve been here quite a while?
LOUISE:           Yes, I’m here for two months. I go back next week.
OFFICER:         So may I ask where you’re staying now?      
LOUISE:           Well at present I’ve got a place at Park (Q3) Apartments, that’s on King Street. I was staying at the Riverside Apartments on the same street, but the apartment there was only available for six weeks so I had to find another one.
OFFICER:         OK. And the apartment number?
LOUISE:           Fifteen.
LOUISE:           Right.
…………………………………………..
OFFICER:         Now, I need to take some details of the theft. So you said you had some things stolen out of your bag?
LOUISE:           That’s right.
OFFICER:         And were you actually carrying the bag when the theft took place?
LOUISE:           Yes, I really can’t understand it. I had my backpack on. And I went into a supermarket to buy a few things and when I opened it up my wallet wasn’t there.
OFFICER:         And what did your wallet have in it?
LOUISE:           Well, fortunately I don’t keep my credit cards in that wallet – I keep them with my passport in an inside compartment in my backpack. But there was quite a bit of cash there … about £250 (Q4) sterling, I should think. I withdrew £300 from my account yesterday, but I did a bit of shopping, so I must have already spent about £50 of that.
OFFICER:         OK.
LOUISE:           At first I thought, oh I must have left the wallet back in the apartment, but then I realised my phone (Q5) had gone as well. It was only a week old, and that’s when I realised I’d been robbed. Anyway at least they didn’t take the keys to my rental car.
OFFICER:         Yes. So you say the theft occurred yesterday?
LOUISE:           Yes.
OFFICER:         So that was September the tenth (Q6). And do you have any idea at all of where or when the things might possibly have been stolen?
LOUISE:           Well at first I couldn’t believe it because the bag had been on my back ever since I left the apartment after lunch. It’s just a small backpack, but I generally use it when I’m travelling because it seems safer than a handbag. Anyway, I met up with a friend, and we spent a couple of hours in the museum (Q7). But I do remember that as we were leaving there, at about 4 o’clock, a group of young boys ran up to us, and they were really crowding round us, and they were asking us that time (Q8) it was, then all of a sudden they ran off.
OFFICER:         Can you remember anything about them?
LOUISE:           The one who did most of the talking was wearing a T-shirt with a picture of something … let’s see … a tiger.
OFFICER:         Right. Any idea of how old he might have been?
LOUISE:           Around twelve years old? Ochish/sharhlash
