1
It's getting out of hand, Katie.
2
147 emails overnight.
3
You're a busy man.
4
Yeah, but it's mostly junk and spam.
5
You want me to get rid of them?
6
No, no, I want them sorted.
7
I need to know what's priority and what's junk.
8
What's personal?
9
Well, I don't get many personal emails on this account.
10
What about that one?
11
It's an ad for Viagra.
12
So you don't know that lady?
13
No. How does she know you?
14
It's spam.
15
Personal spam?
16
No, it's just spam.
17
I'll speak to Courtney.
18
Just some sort of system.
19
Oh, and Dennis is here today.
20
Dennis.
21
For our risk and safety assessment.
22
We just did a risk and safety assessment.
23
Last year.
24
He was here a whole week and all we ended up was a huge folder that no one's ever read.
25
But the folder needs to be updated.
26
Why?
27
New building.
28
No. It's a legal requirement.
29
Alright, but Dennis...
30
I thought you liked him.
31
What?
32
I remember you said, that's a guy I could sure spend more time with.
33
I was being sarcastic. Were you?
34
Yeah.
35
Oh, and Jim rang back.
36
He wants to catch up this morning.
37
Great.
38
Sarcastic?
39
Yeah.
40
10 o 'clock?
41
Perfect.
42
Yeah.
43
Still 10?
44
Yep.
45
Nat, you remember Dennis? Of course.
46
Hi, Dennis.
47
Dennis is back to do our safety audit.
48
Oh, yeah.
49
Didn't we just do one?
50
New building.
51
Is this yours?
52
Yeah.
53
On your desk.
54
It's a desk fan.
55
I knew a bloke once, just like you.
56
I'm not a bloke.
57
Thought it was okay to balance a blow heater on a windowsill.
58
Few days later, bang.
59
Office burnt to the ground.
60
Oh, my God.
61
It can happen.
62
And was the man okay?
63
Oh, well, there's another story.
64
Courtney, I'm just in the middle of something important.
65
Oh, yep.
66
Why don't we stay out in the basement?
67
You need to get that tagged.
68
Fine.
69
Thank you.
70
Ash, do you know what's wrong with our toaster?
71
Dennis red flagged it.
72
He red flagged it.
73
What?
74
Because it's electrical.
75
Yeah, that's how toasters work.
76
Improbably earthed, Natalie.
77
We've been using it for months.
78
Dennis knew a man who used one of these for years.
79
Then one day, boom, power surge.
80
We're in toast.
81
Month in hospital.
82
What's happened to our knives?
83
Cutting hazard.
84
Cutting hazard?
85
They're knives.
86
Dennis knew a bloke who reached into a drawer and severed a finger.
87
Right through.
88
Blood everywhere.
89
I think you'll find everything, you know, pretty modern building, Dennis.
90
A newer bloke, car dealer, moved into a brand new showroom, telling me he didn't need an audit,
91
but turns out a bracket on one of his AC units was faulty.
92
Long story short, two weeks later, there's a customer in the showroom.
93
Bang.
94
Killed him?
95
Just missed.
96
Oh, so happy ending.
97
No, that wasn't the end of it.
98
Metal shards from the casing came down...
99
Can we put a pin in part two?
100
Katie, why don't you get Dennis to have a look around the basement?
101
He's already done the basement.
102
Second pass, check for shards.
103
Baby, level one.
104
Yeah, let me up.
105
I'll go with you.
106
Thank you, Brian.
107
Great.
108
Tony, Nat says she's running about 10 minutes late.
109
Sure.
110
Oh, and we've come up with a system for emails.
111
We're just going to print the urgent ones.
112
I don't need you to print them out.
113
What's this?
114
Urgent.
115
Urgent sale bathroom tiles.
116
Are you renovating?
117
It's spam.
118
It's a dear valued customer.
119
I don't want junk email.
120
I don't want group emails.
121
I don't want anything unsolicited.
122
Just work related.
123
Got it.
124
From people I know.
125
Do you know Dan?
126
Dan.
127
Murphy?
128
The wine merchant who died 15 years ago.
129
Yep, clearly a friend of mine.
130
Sarcastic?
131
Yep.
132
I'll do a new printout.
133
Sorry, guys, one more minute. Who?
134
Ray.
135
Drummond.
136
It's a golf store.
137
So you don't know him?
138
No. 30 % off putters this weekend.
139
What's he doing in the documents room?
140
He's worried about our filing cabinets.
141
Seriously?
142
What if someone got squashed in there?
143
You wouldn't be happy.
144
If it happened right now, it would be.
145
But he said if a child was in there...
146
What would a child be doing in there?
147
Dennis knew a bloke once who brought his son in on a Sunday.
148
Does he get paid by the anecdote?
149
Is it OK if he does a quick assessment of your workstation?
150
Oh, that'd be wonderful.
151
Sarcastic?
152
Yeah, he's not to come near my office.
153
Come on in, guys.
154
Dennis, we can go down.
155
So let's go through the updated system.
156
Someone's injured, what do you do?
157
Call an ambulance?
158
Nope.
159
Check if they're breathing?
160
First things first.
161
You create and file an incident report.
162
Okay.
163
So just log on to the page here.
164
You've got date of incident, location of incident, type of incident.
165
There's a drop -down menu for that.
166
Death, serious injury, disease.
167
What's contagion?
168
Just pick one.
169
Serious injury.
170
Perfect.
171
Now, hit submit.
172
Job done.
173
And what about the injured person?
174
What about them?
175
Like if they needed medical assistance.
176
Ah.
177
Oh, I see what you're saying.
178
OK.
179
Create a new file.
180
Agency initially contacted.
181
Paramedics.
182
Via.
183
Triple zero.
184
Can I check if they're breathing?
185
Not yet, darling.
186
No. But isn't this work -related?
187
I'm working on a defence white paper.
188
But it says army.
189
Disposals.
190
Superstore sale.
191
Oh, I just saw the camouflage.
192
Oh, God, here's fun.
193
Sarcastic?
194
Yep.
195
I'm getting better.
196
Come on in.
197
Say.
198
Let's have a seat.
199
I thought we'd do it here.
200
Did you have a look?
201
Yep.
202
Great.
203
We all did.
204
Okay, this is what we wanted to hear.
205
Good news. And?
206
I don't follow it.
207
What?
208
Sorry, we don't follow it. Which bit?
209
All of it.
210
Well, how's that good news?
211
But I mean, did you get a general sense of what it's saying?
212
Well, that we need to spend 2 % of our GDP on defence.
213
Oh, there you go.
214
You're being too hard on yourself.
215
But it's not clear why.
216
Well, maybe we don't need to say why, just that we're spending.
217
That we're muscling up, we're hawks, keeping the Anzac spirit alive.
218
Have you been to a focus group?
219
Yes, of real Aussies, proud Aussies.
220
So what are we buying?
221
Ships?
222
What?
223
A couple of new subs?
224
Those are multi -billion dollar investments.
225
Gut feeling.
226
Blink reaction.
227
What's in the shopping cart?
228
I don't think we can...what?
229
Oh.
230
Hang on.
231
What's going on?
232
Sorry about that.
233
What's going on?
234
Dennis is testing our duress alarm.
235
Could you guys hear that in there?
236
Yes.
237
Very, very clearly.
238
Sorry, why are we testing our duress alarm?
239
Dennis knew a lady who stayed back...
240
I've got an acto.
241
Thanks.
242
That's okay.
243
I'll just correct you in a minute.
244
Alright.
245
Let's start from the beginning.
246
This white paper is a visionary blueprint for Australia's defence.
247
Let's start at the end.
248
It's an impenetrable, uncosted fence -sitting wishlist.
249
Should we start in the middle?
250
There must be something specific we can announce.
251
Look, let me give you a hypothetical.
252
Two weeks from now, the PM's at the National Press Club giving his take on the white paper.
253
He steps confidently up to the podium and says...
254
What part of that is hypothetical?
255
The confident bit.
256
He says, ladies and gentlemen, Australia's number one defence priority is...
257
Well, it's...is...
258
Somewhere in here.
259
See, this is where we need a dress alarm.
260
What?
261
You said keep emails from members of government.
262
This is from a Nigerian prince.
263
Sort of government.
264
He's asking for aid.
265
It's a scam.
266
Tony, the Brigadier's just arrived.
267
Great.
268
And the Colonel will be here this afternoon.
269
Excellent.
270
So, he's fixing the light, foot slips, asphyxiation.
271
Scotty, Ash.
272
You've got to tell Tony.
273
I can't need you both.
274
Anyway, long story short.
275
Guys, now.
276
Did you survive?
277
Two months on a respirator.
278
You've really got to tell Tony.
279
Yeah, I will.
280
You've got a moment? When?
281
An hour.
282
Oh, I'm a little bit busy.
283
Nothing too serious at this stage.
284
There's a small slipping hazard in the gents.
285
Might need you to look into that.
286
That lighting in your rear corridor needs a bit of a tweak.
287
There's a few egress and ingress issues, but I can turn a blind eye to that.
288
Yeah, like I said Dennis, new building, I think you'll find it pretty safe.
289
True story.
290
Knew this bloke, CEO of a big organisation, said he didn't see the need for a risk assessment.
291
Sorry, is this story about me?
292
A different building, they had a faulty elevator.
293
CEO didn't see it as a priority.
294
This is about me.
295
Anyway, long story short...
296
I know this story.
297
Hang on, what have we got here?
298
Flowers.
299
Hmm.
300
What?
301
No, back, sorry folks.
302
Jim rang, he got your email about the divot...
303
The what? To Asia.
304
The pivot.
305
He wants to know, are you being sarcastic?
306
No. I knew it.
307
I'll let him know.
308
And are you expecting an email from a brigadier?
309
Yes, yes.
310
It's spam, right?
311
No, no. But he tried to sell you think tanks.
312
No, I need that.
313
I'll get it out of junk mail.
314
Yes, and any attachments.
315
Got it.
316
Thank you.
317
Here you go, Tony.
318
Oh, thank you, Katie.
319
Lovely.
320
Katie?
321
Hmm?
322
This is barely warm.
323
Do you know what temperature at hot water was said to?
324
Hot?
325
Dennis said it was nearly boiling.
326
It's here to make tea.
327
But he knew a man once who was making...
328
Katie, not an earning tea.
329
Long story short, three months in the burns unit.
330
Can you microwave that?
331
Uh -uh.
332
It wasn't earthed properly.
333
Okay.
334
We thought it was spam.
335
It was from the treasurer.
336
It said sale.
337
Of a port.
338
Can you get back in touch with him?
339
You've unsubscribed.
340
Ring him.
341
Sure.
342
Just a reminder, Jim and Rhonda will be in at 10.
343
Mm -hmm.
344
And Nat had to go back to Canberra.
345
Wow, they're getting serious.
346
And have you got a moment for Dennis?
347
No. He just needs to hand over the new risk register.
348
You can leave it on your desk.
349
And then he'll be gone.
350
Two minutes, no anecdotes.
351
So, I've ranked each hazard in terms of likelihood and likely consequence.
352
Hence, back injury from incorrect seating posture is likely, but relatively mild in terms of impact.
353
Whereas, say, a tsunami would be...
354
That's page 32, I think.
355
Yep, there it is.
356
Severe to catastrophic outcome.
357
But again, unlikely.
358
Interesting.
359
I was doing a job in the Solomon Islands once.
360
Does this involve a tsunami?
361
I'll get to that.
362
Can you do this?
363
Yeah, lovely.
364
Anyway, so we're in Honiara.
365
You been there?
366
No. It's beautiful.
367
Wow.
368
Here it is.
369
All done.
370
I will get Katie to put it in its rightful place beside the old one.
371
Replacing?
372
Replacing the old one is what I meant to say.
373
Is something wrong?
374
Oh, I just worry I might have missed something.
375
Shall we have another look around?
376
No, no. I think it's all in here.
377
Ranked, graded and colour -coded.
378
It's your lift.
379
Thanks, Tony.
380
See you, Dennis.
381
See you, Katie.
382
Yeah.
383
Thank you, Dennis.
384
You know, there's a light out in here.
385
Shall I get him back?
386
No. Thank you.

什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
