Tip: This site supports text-selection search. Just highlight any word.Learning English is not just about mastering grammar and vocabulary, but more importantly, being able to use it naturally in real-life situations. However, textbook sentences are often too formal and differ greatly from actual daily expressions. To speak authentic, natural English, you need exposure to real-life conversations. Here, we have selected frequently used daily English expressions covering social, work, travel, and other scenarios, helping you move away from 'textbook English' and learn the expressions that native speakers actually use. Below is the content from New Cambridge Business English (Elementary) Unit 8a. Keep practicing to make your English more practical!
Hi Becky, it's Anna from accounts here. Hi Becky, you know that shredder we've just bought? Yes. Well, everyone keeps asking how to use it. And I can't find the operating instructions. Ah, now I think they may still be here. Hold on a second. Yep, I've got them here Anna. What do you want to know? Well, what to do if it doesn't work, you know, things like that.Well, Ah, it says here that the machine jams if you insert too much paper into it. If that happens, press the red button, remove the excess paper and start again with less paper. Right. Are there any other possible problems? The motor overheats sometimes. If that happens, it switches off automatically. Just leave it for 15 to 30 minutes before you switch it on again.
Okay, I've got all that. Is there anything else I should know? Yeah, there are a few things to be careful about. Like never put your fingers in the shredder. It's a bit obvious, isn't it? And be careful with long hair and loose articles of clothing like ties.
And that's it. Thanks, Becky. I'll put a notice with the instructions on the wall next to the shredder. Good idea.
