Short Talk 121 (Listen and Read)

Can I have your attention, please?

The new sewing machine is being delivered on Tuesday.

Without a doubt, this is great news!

This new machine can stitch shirts in half the time the current sewing machines do.

We want to make sure everyone is aware of the ins and outs of the new machine,

so we would like you to remain in the factory after hours.

We understand you may not all be available,

so we will pass around a list.

Please add your name if you are able to do the overtime.

As usual, your overtime pay will be added to your next paycheck.
