UNIT 15 HAVING FUN AT WORK

- THE VERB “TAKE”
“Take” can have different meanings if we combined it with different words:
° Happen: The meeting will take place on Monday at 09:00.
° Accept: Maria has taken up the job offer from Microsoft.
° Do an activity, participate: Everyone in the department took part in the volleyball match.
° Recruit or hire: The Company has taken on 20 new staff.
° Take the control of something: The kids have taken over.
° Remove: The management told John to take off his earrings at work.


- PRESENT PERFECT AND PAST SIMPLE

The present Prefect has different uses:
° Events that affect the present situation, but we don’t say when they happened:
Costs have gone up so they’re very high now.
° Answering how long? About an unfinished event:
How long have you studied French?
° Unfinished events starting in the past and continuing up to the present (using for and since):
I have been in sales since 2006.
Bimbo has been the sales leader for three years now.

° Recent events: Demand figures have improved recently.
We haven’t seen a big rise in sales.
Has your teacher just started?

The past simple has some uses:
° Finished actions or events:
When you were a little boy, did you play football?
Yes, played football on Sunday mornings.
° Finished time periods (with for):
John studied in the UCLA for six years, from 2000 to 2006.
° Events that happened at a definite time in the past:
I founded the Company in 2000.
The new teacher didn’t come in yesterday.


- GIVING REASONS
In business you often have to change things. The reason for your decision may not be clear to others, and then you have to give an explanation. The following phrases are useful for giving reasons and explanations:
° So that (we can…): So that, we can take the new distributor offer.

Hi,

My name is Olivia Cruz and I’m twenty three years old. Actually, I’m studying Commercial Trade at the IPN; this career will allow me work at the Marketing, Sales or Publicity Area of an enterprise.

At the moment, I’m work for Bimbo´s Company as a Marketing Manager and I like it. Bimbo is one of the most important baking companies, with a big production and a good sales volume around the world. In Mexico and Latin America it is an undisputed leader in its area; also it has presence in the United States, Europe and Asia.

Bimbo was established in Mexico in 1945. The first plant was located in Santa María Insurgentes (Mexico City). At first, the Company produced only the large bread, the small bread and toast bread. The black bread production began in January 1946, and by the end of the following year, the cupcake and pound cake line was already on the market.

Today, Bimbo produces and distributes in the market over five thousand products, like loaf bread, cupcakes and pound cakes, small cakes, sweet and salted snacks, and some other products. The most important product lines of Bimbo are: Lara, Marinela, Barcel, Ricolino, Coronado, Suandy and Tía Rosa.

In the last year income from sales increased in a four percent; but in the present month, it is falling. But, the income from advertisements is reaching a peak.

I hope in the present year, that the incomes from sales rise steadily. The company is looking space for in other markets, like Germany; I’m sure that we will obtain that market.

MEMORANDUM
We have had production problems for the last ten weeks. The production department ordered new machinery but it was installed incorrectly. This caused and we will be able to increase productivity by 5% in the next quarter.
The quality control procedures were reviewed last month. Three weeks ago we had a staff shortage. This caused some quality problems. We have now employed more staff and the problem has been solved.
