1
Thanks for making time, Graham.
2
I'd like to go through the third quarter figures.
3
Of course. I gather they're not brilliant.
4
Not quite. Revenue is up, but so are our costs.
5
In fact, our profit margin has dropped by four percent.
6
That's worse than I'd anticipated.
7
What's driving the increase?
8
Mainly energy bills and overtime payments.
9
The overtime was unavoidable, I'm afraid.
10
We were short-staffed for most of the summer.
11
I appreciate that, but it can't carry on.
12
We've already overspent the annual budget.
13
So where do you suggest we cut back?
14
I've identified three areas worth looking at.
15
Firstly, we could renegotiate with our main supplier.
16
We've been with them for years without a review.
17
Exactly. I reckon we could save around five percent.
18
I'll set up a meeting with them next week.
19
Secondly, the company cars are costing a fortune.
20
Half of them are barely being used.
21
That's true. We could switch to a shared pool.
22
That alone would save thirty thousand pounds a year.
23
And what's the third area?
24
Travel. A lot of those trips could be video calls.
25
The sales team won't be happy about that.
26
Perhaps not, but we have to be realistic.
27
Otherwise we'll be forced to freeze recruitment.
28
I'd much rather avoid that if possible.
29
What about investing in new equipment, though?
30
The old machines are pushing up our energy costs.
31
It's worth considering, provided it pays for itself.
32
Could you put together a rough estimate?
33
I'll have the numbers ready by the end of the month.
34
Lovely. Then we can present everything to the board.
35
Fingers crossed they'll see the bigger picture.
36
I'm sure they will, if the figures add up.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
