Dialogue1
Amelia: Do you have a minute?
Max: Sure, what would you like to discuss?
A: I've made a tough decision, sir. Here's my resignation.
M: Well, I have to tell you that I'm quite surprised.
Is there any possible way to change your mind?
A: I'm afraid not, sir. I've made up my mind.
It's something I have to do.
M: Can I ask why? Were you unhappy working for us?
A: Oh, no. Not at all.
M: Are you planning on studying abroad?
A: No, sir.
M: Have you been given a better offer?
A: Oh, no. I would never look for another job while working here.
I think this is a fantastic place to work.
M: Well, what's the problem then?
A: It's my mother. She's sick and needs someone to take care of her.
I'm the only one who can do it.
M: I'm sorry to hear that, but you don't need to quit over that.
Why don't you just take a leave of absence?
We can hold your job for you until your mother gets better.
A: Really? I didn't know that would be possible.
M: Sure, we'd be crazy to lose a good worker like you.
A: Thanks, sir.
Dialogue2
M: Amelia, could you spare a few minutes?
A: Sure. What do you need?
M: Well, I wanted to let you know that I've put in my notice.
A: Really? Why?
M: It's complicated. But basically it boils down to one thing.
This company is downsizing and I can't continue working
for a company that may let me go ..
A: But surely they wouldn't fire you!
You're one of the most experienced managers here.
M: Well, to be honest, there's another reason. I've got a better offer.
A: Well that's great news! Congratulations!
Where will you be located?
M: The head office is in New York,
but I'll be dealing with overseas companies
and flying to this side of the world from time to time.
A: It'll be sad to see you go,
but it sounds like you've found yourself a great opportunity.
M: I have. I feel lucky.
I look forward to dealing with overseas companies and
at the same time having a chance to use English more.
A: I'm sorry to bring this up now,
but would it be possible for you to write me a letter
recommendation before you go?
M: Of course I can. In fact,
if there are any other job opportunities at this new company.
I'll recommend you personally.
A: Thanks. I appreciate that.
