Stop thief! Stop thief!
¡Al ladrón! ¡Al ladrón!
This woman has stolen the suitcase from the man chasing her.
Esta mujer ha robado la maleta del hombre la perseguía
But what's in the suitcase? .
Pero lo que hay en la maleta?
Why, stolen money, of course! Half a million dollars! ¿Por qué, robado dinero, por
supuesto! Medio millón de dólares!. Earlier in the morning, the couple committed an
armed robbery in a bank in the town centre. Temprano en la mañana, la pareja ha
cometido un robo a mano armada en un banco en el centro de la ciudad.
16. Unluckily for him, the man has been tricked by his accomplice and she's run
off with the loot. Por desgracia para él, el hombre ha sido engañado por su cómplice y
ella está corriendo con el botín.
Quick! She's probably hiding, and above all, keeping out of sight. ¡Rápido! Ella
probablemente esté escondida, y sobre todo, mantener fuera de la vista.
She goes to the airport to leave town. Ella va al aeropuerto para salir de la ciudad.
There are two flights to Chicago this afternoon, but she knows too many people there
and someone would end up indicating her presence to the police, or worse, to her
accomplice. Hay dos vuelos con destino a Chicago esta tarde, pero ella sabe que
demasiada gente allí y alguien terminaría lo que indica su presencia a la policía, o peor
aún, a su cómplice.
Better off leaving the country to launder the money abroad.
Mejor dejar el país para blanquear el dinero en el extranjero.
In the departure lounge, the woman entrusts the money to her brother, who'll
take the suitcase on the plane. En la sala de embarque, la mujer confía el dinero a su
hermano, que va a tener la maleta en el avión.
She, on the other hand, will cross the border by car where the risk of being
recognised is less. Ella, por otro lado, se cruza la frontera en coche, donde el riesgo de
ser reconocido es menor. .
The man collects his ticket and, boarding card in hand, takes his seat in the plane.
El hombre recoge su billete y, a bordo de la tarjeta en la mano, toma su asiento en el
avión.
Meanwhile, on the other side of town, the policemen investigating the robbery
are following up their research. Mientras tanto, en el otro lado de la ciudad, los
policías que investigan el robo son el seguimiento de su investigación.
They're inspecting the disused warehouse, in which the woman hid for a few minutes,
barely after the robbery, and they're trying to retrace her steps. Están inspeccionando
el almacén en desuso, en el que la mujer se escondió por unos minutos, apenas después
del robo, y que están tratando de volver sobre sus pasos.
Let's hope they find some clues that will enable them to recuperate the
money and arrest her. Esperemos que encontrar algunas pistas que les permitan
recuperar el dinero y arrestar a ella.
17. Once in Canada, the man with the suitcase leaves the plane to fetch his
luggage. Una vez en Canadá, el hombre con la maleta sale el avión en busca de su
equipaje.
The Canadian customs officers have been alerted by an informer of his arrival. Los
funcionarios de aduanas canadienses han sido alertados por un conocimiento de su
llegada.
Are the customs officers going to open the suitcase and find the stolen money?
¿Los funcionarios de aduanas va a abrir la maleta y encontrar el dinero robado?
No! They decide to shadow their man and try and find the other accomplices
who will be responsible for laundering the money. ¡No! Ellos deciden a la sombra
de su hombre y tratar de encontrar los otros cómplices que se encargarán de lavar el
dinero.
When the time is right, they'll send in the police to arrest them. Cuando sea el
momento adecuado, van a enviar a la policía para arrestarlos.
In such a situation, the criminals don't have much chance of escaping...
En tal situación, los delincuentes no tienen mucha oportunidad de escapar ...
After a chase, the policemen end up arresting their man and handcuffing his
wrists. It is said that blood ties are often the strongest, but the brother ends
up giving his sister away and indicating her hide-out.
Después de una persecución, al final la policía a arrestar a su hombre y esposar sus
muñecas. Se dice que los lazos de sangre son a menudo más fuerte, pero el hermano
acaba dando su hermana de distancia y que indica a su escondite.
This is quite often how customs officers manage to catch the larger
smugglers: an anonymous phone call, and the criminal is spotted
disembarking from the plane or boat. Esto es muy a menudo cómo los funcionarios
de aduanas logran atrapar a los contrabandistas más grandes: una llamada telefónica
anónima, y el criminal se vio desembarcar del avión o en barco.
So you'd better humour your enemies if you want to avoid giving them the
idea for a very bad joke! Así que mejor que el humor a sus enemigos si quiere evitar
tener que darles la idea de una broma de muy mal!

We're only planning to stay a few nights.
I'd like to stay in expensive hotels with lavish leisure facilities. I'd go to ones by the

with a view of the bay. I'd order room service everyday, and I'd sip tropical cocktails
by the pool. I'd take holidays all the timeto

A tour of the town 2 h 38
How lucky you are! Your birthday present this year is a sightseeing tour... The guide is
now speaking to you: "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to our medieval city!"
Medieval? Is it really medieval?
Is it that old?
I thought it was damaged during the war!
We'll take you on a guided tour of the town centre first.
Then you'll have the whole afternoon to visit the castle.
Is it far from here?
I've heard a lot about it!
66. Yes, I don't want to miss it!
The art gallery, too, is worth visiting, if you have the time.
We won't have time to see everything!
What about the ancient amphitheatre?
We might have time tomorrow.
We'll have a short walk through the old centre now. Is everyone here?
Are there any good views?
Yes, these people belong to another group.
Wait! My friend's just gone to the toilet!
There are several good views.
This is one of them.
Is that the Town Hall over there?
Where's the mosque?
Is that the Abbey?
67. Can you also see the tower on the far side?
I can't see any tower!
No, I can only see a windmill.
Yes! It looks damaged.
And this is the cathedral.
Doesn't it have very famous stained-glass windows?
What a beautiful arch!
Could we have a look inside?
Now, this is the covered market.
It looks very old!
Not a flea market?
Is it still open?
We are now coming to the ramparts.
They've remained in good condition.
68. And what's that over there?
Is that a minaret?
And these stones are the remains of a monastery.
There are lovely flower beds here.
My feet are starting to ache!
There's a nice view from here, too.

You'll now be going on to the castle.
That was an interesting visit!
Do we have to pay a fee to get in?

Good afternoon! I will be your guide through this magnificent castle.
The castle was restored in 1724.
I wouldn't like to live here!
It's a bit dark, I must admit!
If you'd like to follow me upstairs...
No, I'm sorry, you can't go in there.
Why not?
Because it's dangerous
80. These are the statues of the Royal Family.
This room used to be the Count's bedroom.
Was this his bed?
No, it wasn't.
The gardens are surrounded by a high wall.
This drawbridge is really fascinating.

The town centre is the most interesting place to visit.
Bones dating back centuries were found in the dungeon.
The first lord of the manor loved tapestries.
The drawbridge is still fully operational.
The castle has been classified since the late thirties.
You say that the castle's first stone was laid in 1224. You never know
exactly, do you, when something happened so long ago? In Britain, you can
see lots of stately homes, mansions and castles. You have a royal family in the
United Kingdom. You can tell as soon as you set foot in Britain, as the
Queen's head is on all the notes, coins and stamps.

88. How would you fancy a trip around the world in less than five
minutes?
Brandishing her torch as if at the start of a race, the Statue of Liberty
seems to show us the way.
There are tourists inside, but you probably cannot see them.
Our first stop is in Washington D.C., at the White House, where
the President of the USA works and lives.
Numerous tourists come and visit every year.
Building began in 1792, and since 1800, all her tenants have left a mark
of their passage.
Despite her great age, the pollution and the tourists' comings
and goings, the walls of the White House keep their brilliant
whiteness.
She really does wear her name well!
On the other side of the Atlantic, only a few hours by plane,
there's London, the capital of the United Kingdom.
The Thames has played an important role in the history of this
ancient port.
The Palace of Westminster is found on the banks of this river.
In 1605, Guy Fawkes dug a tunnel under it to plant a bomb.
He was then arrested and executed.
If we carry on down the river, we come to Tower Bridge, behind
the Tower of London, which is on your left.
This is where the beefeaters watch over the royal family's
jewels.
If they were ever lost, the queen wouldn't have a crown any more.
89. And can you imagine the queen without a proof of identity?
On the other side of the Channel, on the European continent,
royal families have almost all disappeared.
Among those that remain are the Spanish, Belgians and Dutch.
This castle, in the southwest of France, probably belonged to a
noble and rich family, which must have suffered a lot in 1789
during the French Revolution.
We can say that the people of the period lifted their heads up
high in rebellion and the aristocrats lost theirs!
France then became the country of human rights.
Let's discover the last monument constructed during Napoleon's
reign: the Arc de Triomphe.
At the foot of this monument rests the unknown soldier, in homage to
all the fallen soldiers of World War I, which ravaged Europe at the
beginning of the twentieth century.
A flame stays permanently alight in memory of them lest we may
forget...
If we go down the Champs-Elysées, we come to the largest
square in Paris: the place de la Concorde.
Let's change scenery completely, cross the Rhine and go to
Cologne.
This town is famous for its gothic style cathedral.
It's so big!
Let's leave the north for warmer places!
For Barcelona, notably, which was the birthplace of the artist Gaudí.
His bold and singular creations brighten the town and the
tourists love to visit these colourful monuments.
90. Another sight, not to be missed, is the Plaza de España.
Here, during the summer nights, the central fountain lights up and a son
et lumière show is put on for you.
The impressive speed of the Spanish drivers shouldn't leave you
indifferent either!

The Managing Director went away on business for a few days. Since he
arrived late at the hotel, he needed to get a bite to eat. Throughout the year
the hotel received many prestigious guests. Staff accommodated guests in
such a manner that they felt totally at ease. The hotel provided excellent
facilities like state-of-the-art technology for business people. In fact, the hotel
catered for all the Managing Director's requests
106. This hotel employee is very smart in his outfit.
The hotel where he works must surely have several stars.
But the employees’ elegance isn’t everything.
Indeed, everything must be perfect in a hotel: the organisation,
the service and even the smile.
It’s surprising to see the number of people who, satisfied with a place,
come back to it every year.
Take, for example, a simple breakfast.
It seems very ordinary to order a full breakfast and to ask for it to be
served to you in bed.
But it’s not as easy for the bellboy to bring it to you and not stumble on
the stairs.
Mind you don’t spill anything!
Sitting in her bed, waiting patiently for her coffee, the guest
obviously has no idea of all this.
Whatever the time and whatever the event, the waiter must always
listen and be at the guest’s service.
The noisiest place in a hotel, and where people are the busiest, is
probably the kitchen.
The hotel manager, moreover, is found more often there than in his
office.
Managing staff is always difficult, especially when it’s a team of
chefs who want, at all costs, to accompany the head chef’s dish
with a bilberry sauce, when a simple orange sauce, ten times
less costly, would be perfectly adequate!
They cut, grate, sprinkle, peel, scale fish... What talent! It’s a
true culinary art.
107. The meal is a significant element among those services provided in a
hotel and the food must be irreproachable.
Obviously, the produce must be fresh and that requires working
with a reliable supplier.
The fruits and vegetables are imported from the four corners of the
globe and it’s necessary to have complete confidence in the company in
charge of delivering the goods.
It’s impossible to plan for two hundred covers without being
certain of getting in time, and on time, fresh produce of an
excellent quality.
The choice of the supplier depends on the best quality-price ratio and
the delivery time.
It’s not uncommon to call upon the services of several professionals at
the same time.
The restaurant opens its doors at the beginning of the evening
and it’s not unusual to see customers come in who aren’t staying
in the hotel.
All the waiters and waitresses are dressed up to the nines: shoes well
polished, hair well groomed, ties well done up, skirts well ironed...
As usual for the service sector, a restaurant’s success depends
enormously on its reputation.
The service must be impeccable.
When you have a job in the service sector, never forget that the
customer is always right!
And if he does happen to be wrong, keep it to yourself!
108. If the customer is wrong...
tell your boss.
tell everyone.
tell him.

walk away.
How is the first employee in the video dressed?
He is badly dressed.
He is inelegant.
He is well dressed.
He is dressed like royalty.
His clothes are too small.
His clothes are too large.
Why do people return to the same hotel every year?
They are very happy with it.
They appreciate the coffee.
They like the waiter's clothes.
They are friends with the manager.
They want breakfast in bed.
They appreciate the breakfast.
109. What is meant by 'irreproachable'?
It is quite good.
It is faulty.
It is not bad.
It is of average quality.
It is without fault.
It is extremely bad.
What is meant by 'to stumble'?
To fall over
To walk quickly
To climb the stairs
To run
To jump
To walk down the stairs
Where are the fruits and vegetables imported from?
They are not imported
They are grown locally
From corner shops
From four suppliers
From four countries
From all over the world
What is meant by 'dressed up to the nines'?
You got dressed at 9 o'clock
110. Dressed very badly
You get undressed at 9 o'clock
Dressed very smartly
Dressed like a waiter
Dressed like eight other people
Which two words have similar meaning?

Which of these statements is untrue?

The restaurant starts serving at the start of the evening.
The waiters' and waitresses' shoes are well polished.
The hotel manager is often found in the kitchen.
The hotel manager is sometimes in the office.

We'd like to start training workshops for the employees on the shop floor.
We could do with some training on all this new technology we've been getting. We
had record amounts of scrap from our last run of steel bolts! Unfortunately, it's a
hundred miles' drive to the nearest training centre.
We'll have to plan on work-based training, I suppose.
Day release is one possibility to consider.
113. Funding assistance may be available if we train in-company
I think in-house training is probably the best option, as you say. But how will we
know if we're up to standard?
The NTO will guide us through the process if we need their help.
The National Vocational Qualifications can be helpful.
Why don't we contact the equipment manufacturer?
It's agreed, then: we'll train in-company on the new machines. Let's meet to develop
a syllabus next week.
How about Friday?
I would rather meet later this week if possible.
When do you think we can begin the training?
So you'd like the TEC to help update our employees' skills.
Absolutely. At H H we believe in lifelong learning.
Yes, but we'd like to do so within the plant.
What company can afford not to?
What kind of training do our workers need exactly?
They're having trouble adjusting to the new machine.
114. Above all, they need training on the LD-20.
We've invested in new technology, and we need to train them on it.
We can do workplace assessments for you if you train in-company, and we'll provide
you with a syllabus if you need it as well. Is there anything else I can do before our
meeting next week?
Everything seems quite all right for the time being.
That's all for now, but I'll be in touch!
No, I can't think of anything else.
So only the marketers will be trained off-site, then?
The others will be trained here according to the NTO standards.
Yes, they'll be doing a one-week training course in six months' time.
That's right!
What sort of training will the marketing team be receiving?
The training course is about using the Internet as a marketing tool.
It's a course on marketing and new media.
115. They're getting a refresher course on brand management.
The company's been waiting to exploit the Internet more.
The marketing director is reluctant, though.
But are our products right for Internet marketing?
That's what the marketing director said.
That's a relief. We've had some problems in that area.
Well, you're only as good as your brand name.
Hopefully the course will help.
So far we've been working without the necessary training.
Well, let's get to work on planning our work-based training, then! Shall we meet in a
few days?
I'm not sure I'll have what I need by then.
116. I'll contact the training companies in the meantime.

Have you contacted the Training and Enterprise Council?
It must be difficult to keep them up to date
with new metal technologies.
I'm told the National Training Organisation
can advise us on that.
We could set up in-company training.
The TEC course offers are on their website.
I'll start with Production.

127. Congratulations! You've got your certificate of higher education.
The time has come to go and look for work.
The telephone quickly becomes essential.
Having sent several curriculum vitae, you are finally called in for an interview.
Try not to seem too tense, otherwise you risk making a bad impression.
Luckily for you, your application has been accepted.
You're hired! Welcome to the team!
Becoming a worker does, however, present a few inconveniences:
commuting every day takes a very long time and the traffic jams are
never-ending!
And that's not counting the taxes you'll have to pay!
By the way, what career have you chosen?
Are you a waiter?
Do you work as a shop assistant? On the market? So no more lie-ins for
you!
Or have you chosen a career where a uniform is compulsory? Like in the
police or the army? Watch out for Sergeant Nit-picker, he doesn't miss a
thing!
For certain jobs, suits are to be worn.
Appearance counts a great deal.
Receptionists must always be well dressed, secretaries as well, because
they are the first to come into contact with clients.
It is important for estate agents to make a good impression, just as it is
for car dealers.
Does a tie make one look more credible?
What judge would listen to a plaintiff wearing jeans and a jumper?
None.
128. No more than the person to be tried would accept the decision of a
judge in a T-shirt and tennis shoes.
There are some jobs that are done outdoors, like those of a
farmer, horticulturist, fisherman or shepherd.
One job done from above, in a total lack of oxygen, is that of an
astronaut!
You mustn't suffer from vertigo if you want to work way up there!
Racing driver is another high-risk profession.
Being a professional golfer is less dangerous, but it demands
just as much discipline.
You must have courage and patience to reach the top and become
champion.
Footballers train for years before reaching their goal!
Their careers are short-lived, like those of dancers.
But don't think it's any easier working from home, especially if
you've got your children to look after!
There are also people who change career-paths.
Criminals who steal money suddenly find out they have a new vocation,
that of prisoner!
There are others who don't want to succeed by legal means.
They prefer to falsify important documents.
To become a company manager, you must have ambition,
motivation and talent, you have to work hard and not go to
sleep!
Then you can harvest the fruits of your labour by purchasing, for
example, a beautiful car, a flat in town, a house in the country with
129. several hectares of land and a villa by the sea for those well-deserved
holidays!
