Trey works in Delavigne's Customer Service Department, and answers this phone call by announcing this. The caller asks about a resumé or CV he sent to the Delavigne Corp. The CV was meant for the Human Resources department, not customer support. Trey offers to transfer the caller to the HR department several times. The verb "to reach" means "to contact by telephone" in this context.
Trey tells the caller that "all applications at Delavigne are carefully reviewed". To "review" a resumé indicates that a resumé is read, or examined thoroughly. To do something "carefully" is to do it with attention or precision.
Trey says that before being hired at his last job, he wasn't called back for nine months. After nine months he received a call from the company, and he was offered a position. In this sentence, the terms "previous" and "last" are synonymous.
Trey never discusses whether or not there are any positions available at Delavigne. He encourages the caller not to lose hope, however this isn't an indication of the availability of jobs at Delavigne.

Bethany does not advise Philip to include this notice. In fact, she tells him to state that he has the "intention to commence legal action against the debtor". This legal action has not yet begun, although it will if the situation is not resolved.
Philip should include this information in his letter. Bethany tells Philip to note "the total amount owed to (his) company", referring to the full amount of money that the client needs to pay. To "owe (Bruno some money)" means to "be in debt (to Bruno)" or to "need to pay (Bruno)". A "figure" is a value expressed in numbers, e.g. 64, or 456,061.
This is one of the things Philip should include in his letter. Bethany says that the letter "should detail all prior communication that (Philip has) had with the client". This means that Philip should include a list of the contact he has had with his difficult client. "Prior (correspondence)" refers to "past" or "previous" correspondence. This may include letters, emails, faxes, or phone calls.
Philip should include this in his letter. Bethany tells him to include "the outstanding invoices", which means that Philip should send the clients copies of the bills which have not yet been paid. An "outstanding bill" is money owed for goods or services, which remains to be paid.
Ejercicio 4
Luna has written a letter to the cleaning company. Complete the letter below with the most appropriate words or phrases.
Dear Sir or Madam,
the standard of service the cleaner you sent us, Mr. Jorge Miguel Santa María Jesús, is totally . Here are but two reasons for our dissatisfaction.
-He doesn't clean. I'm not sure if this is because he doesn't know how, or he just doesn't want to.
-Since he started working here, our once-manageable rodent problem has become out of control, and we've been forced to exterminators to resolve the problem.
Before you offer to replace Mr. Jorge Miguel Santa María Jesús with another one of your employees, I should let you know that the Delavigne Corporation will be using your company to meet our cleansing needs. I remind you that the cleaner you sent us was caught stealing the office plants, the one before her was discovered hiding under the desk of our marketing director, trying to look up her skirt, and the gentleman before that had to be brought down from the roof by the police. Our CEO kindly decided not to press charges, but I fear that one more such incident would tip the balance.
It is therefore my obligation you that the contract between our two companies is terminated.
Thank you for your understanding,
Regards,
Luna DeLune
Human Resources Manager

-He doesn't clean. I'm not sure if this is because he doesn't know how, or he just doesn't want to.

Before you offer to replace Mr. Jorge Miguel Santa María Jesús with another one of your employees, I should let you know that the Delavigne Corporation will no longer 5 be using your company to meet our cleansing needs.

Our CEO kindly decided not to press charges, but I fear that one more such incident would tip the balance.
It is therefore my obligation to inform 7 you that the contract between our two companies is hereby 8 terminated.

1 I regret to inform you that: "I regret to inform you..." is a common, polite way to introduce bad news, and is the best choice here. An example: "We regret to inform our customers that we will no longer be selling apples".
1 I have the pleasure of informing you that: It does not make sense to introduce bad news with a positive statement such as this.
1 I would like to know if: Luna is not asking anything, so a question construction doesn't make sense.
2 provided by: "Provided by" is the best choice here. To "provide" a service is to supply it to someone. This sentence uses a passive construction. Example: "Sandwiches were provided by the organisers of the event".
2 monitored by: To "monitor (a situation)" is to "observe" or "survey" it. This does not make sense here.
2 esteemed by: To "esteem" someone is to "respect" them or "hold them in high regard". This does not make sense here.
3 unsatisfactory: "Unsatisfactory" is the best choice here. "Unsatisfactory" service is "inadequate" or "not good enough". Example: "Michael's behaviour at school is unsatisfactory".
3 radical: The term "radical" shares a similar meaning with "extreme". It can also mean "cool" or "excellent" when used by surfers. It is inappropriate here.
3 unsatisfying: Something which is "unsatisfying" leaves us "hungry" or "unfulfilled". It does not make sense here.
3 satisfactionless: This term does not exist.
4 hire: "Hire" is the best choice here. To "hire" someone is to "employ" them or "provide work" for them. Example: "Andrew has hired a cleaner to help him keep his house tidy".
4 fire: To "fire" someone is to "dismiss" or "sack" them. This does not make sense here.
4 release: To "release" something is to "set it free" or "liberate it". This does not make sense here.
5 no longer: The expression "no longer" shares a similar meaning with "no more" or "not any more", meaning that something has ended or stopped. Example: "I will no longer be eating cheese: I'm going vegan".
5 longer: The term "longer" means "more long", and it does not make sense here.
5 more: "More" means "additionally", and does not make sense here.
6 previous: "Previous" is the best answer here. The term "previous" shares a similar meaning with "former" or "past". In this context, Luna is referring to the cleaner who used to work at Delavigne in the past. Example: "Miriam's previous boyfriends were all slightly strange".
6 earliest: The term "earliest" means "first", chronologically. It does not make sense here.
6 following: The term "following" means "coming after or later". It is quite the opposite of the word Luna needs here.
6 ancient: The term "ancient" means "very old", and is not appropriate here.
7 to inform: "To inform" someone of something is to "tell them about it". The construction "it is my obligation to inform you that..." is a useful, formal phrase to introduce an official piece of news. Example: "It is my obligation to inform you that anything you say may be used in evidence in court".
7 to ask: "Ask" does not make sense here. Luna is making a statement; she is not asking a question.
7 to say: It does not make sense to use "to say" here. It is grammatically incorrect to "say someone something". Moreover, "to say" refers to spoken language, not letters.
7 to regret: To "regret (an event)" is to feel sorry or sad that it happened. This term does not make sense here.
8 hereby: "Hereby" is the best choice here. This little word means "by this document" or "as a result of this letter". Luna is saying that her letter serves as notice that the contract between Delavigne and the cleaning company has been ended. Another example: "I hereby resign from my job at this company".
8 by here: "By here" is a very colloquial expression meaning "around here". It does not make sense in the context of this sentence.
8 thereby: The term "thereby" refers to an action which is distant in time or space. It means "by that document" or "as a result of that letter". Since Luna is writing her own letter, we need the closer term: "hereby".
8 hypothetically: The term "hypothetically" means "in principle" or "in theory". It does not make sense in the context of this sentence.
Ejercicio 5
Choose the TRUE statements from the list below based on Luna's email.
There may be more than one correct answer!
There may be more than one correct answer!
Choose the TRUE statements from the list below based on Luna's email.
There may be more than one correct answer!
There may be more than one correct answer!
This statement is true. Luna writes that the previous or past work history of a potential employee is a factor which can be taken into account, or considered during the interview process.
The statement is false. Luna hasn't organized any further training yet, but she explains that she can do so if people are interested. "Issues" are "matters" or topics of conversation.
This statement is false. Luna's email details appropriate and inappropriate questions to ask during the interview process, which takes place when a job applicant is being "hired" (or "engaged to work"). Her email is unrelated to "firing", or terminating the employment of staff.
This statement is false. Race or ethnicity is one of the factors which Luna specifies should NOT be taken into account during the hiring process. To "take (a factor) into account" is to acknowledge or accept a factor, generally in the context of making a decision. For example: We should take into account the fact that she has a lot of experience in graphic design.
This statement is true, and the bottom line of Luna's email. She is writing to the managers of the Delavigne staff to remind them that certain factors should or should not be taken into account or considered when interviewing potential new employees.
