Our policy is to hire the most qualified individuals. As you have no qualifications, you would have to convince the board to change their recruitment guidelines.

an insurance policy un contratto scritto che garantisce la sostituzione o un risarcimento in caso di danni o perdita di un bene assicurato
Nota che in alcune altre lingue "politics" (la vita politica in generale) si traduce come policy. È quindi necessario distinguere tra policy, una politica concreta, orientata e applicata a un obiettivo specifico, e politics, che riguarda più il governo e l'orientamento generale delle politiche:
The senator's anti-terrorism policy is very controversial. He says that suspected terrorists should be tortured during their interrogation. La politica anti-terrorismo del senatore è molto controversa. Afferma che i terroristi sospettati dovrebbero essere torturati durante l'interrogatorio.
The politics of our president are quite right-wing. He wants to make abortion illegal, stop immigration and bring back the death penalty. Le politiche del nostro presidente sono piuttosto di destra. Vuole rendere illegale l'aborto, fermare l'immigrazione e reintrodurre la pena di morte.

Esercizio 1
Why does Cindy hesitate before putting Mr. Doleman on hold for the second time?
Why does Cindy hesitate before putting Mr. Doleman on hold for the second time?
Cindy tells Mr. Doleman that putting him on hold for a second time is "against company policy" which means that it goes against the rules of the company.
This is incorrect. The company police rarely react to minor issues such as phone calls.
This is not correct. Philip Cheeter is available to speak with Mr. Doleman.
This may be true, but it is not the reason Cindy hesitates.

Choose the TRUE statements from the list below. There may be more than one correct answer!
This statement is true. Luna explains that sexual harassment is a "major issue" in American companies. An "issue" is a "matter" or "subject" in this context. A "major issue" is often used to describe a big problem.
This statement is false. There is no mention that Luna has received a complaint about Jean's behaviour. In fact Jean tries to explain to Luna that he himself was touched inappropriately.
This statement is false, but if it were true, we'd all be lining up outside Bruno Delavigne's door, wouldn't we?
This statement is true. Luna has invited Jean to this meeting to discuss Delavigne's "policy" on sexual harassment, and to confirm that Jean is "aware" of this policy. In this context, "a policy" refers to a "stance", "position" or attitude on a topic or issue. The term can also refer to an official regulation on a topic. For example, an office with a "non-smoking policy" forbids or restricts smoking in the office.

1 policy: "A policy" refers to a "stance", "position" or attitude on a topic or issue. The term can also refer to an official regulation on a topic. For example, an office with a "non-smoking policy" forbids or restricts smoking in the office. In a legal context, "policy" can refer to "legislation" or "law-making", for example: "Policy change has been the Democrats" main focus since coming into power'. Note that when policy describes legislation, the article "a" is generally NOT used.
2 politics: "Politics" is a versatile term. Here it describes someone's political tendencies and opinions: Her politics are liberal, and she usually votes for Democratic candidates. Note that "politics" can also refer to the subject of government and lawmaking or political affairs: I am not interested in politics and I don't like the government.
3 politicians: This is correct. A "politician" is someone who has made "politics" a career. Governors, Senators and Mayors are all American politicians.
4 political: This is correct. "Political" is an adjective which describes the nature of someone or something. For example, a "political decision" is one which was made for "political reasons", likely to please or satisfy a group of people. In this context, "a political person" is one who is interested in "politics" or the affairs of the government.
5 policy: "Policy" is the correct choice here. In this context, "policy" refers to an attitude or position regarding a subject, in this case "relations with foreign countries". "Foreign policy" refers to a country's position or attitude on dealing with certain countries.

1 customer support: This is the phrase which the operator uses here. The "customer support" department of a company takes care of its customers or "clients". Example: "When my Kalvin Krime perfume burned a hole in my skin, I called customer support to complain".
1 customer store: A "store" is a "shop" or a "boutique". This is not what the operator sings here, and it does not make sense as this is a phone line, not a physical shop.
2 company policy: "Company policy" is the term used to describe the rules, regulations, or philosophy in operation inside a company. At the Musical Store it is "company policy" to conduct all conversations in song! Another example: "Delavigne's company policy does not allow smoking in the office".
2 company politics: "Politics" usually refers to the work of politicians and the government. When we talk about "office politics", we are referring to the interaction between employees, and their power struggles! Neither of these terms was used in the dialogue, and they do not make sense here.
2 common policy: This isn't the best choice here. The term "common" means "universal" or "not distinguished or classy". This was not the term used by the operator.
3 ordered: "Ordered" is the correct answer here. To "order (a guitar)" is to "buy" or "purchase" it, usually online or via telephone. Another example: "I ordered three books on spamazon.com for my boyfriend's Christmas present. I hope they arrive before December 25th!".
3 commanded: To "command (someone to do something" is to "force" or "instruct" them to do it. This wasn't the term used, and it doesn't make sense here.
3 authorised: To "authorise (a project)" is to "give permission" for it or "allow it to happen". This doesn't make sense here, and it wasn't the term used by Edward.
4 put you through: This is the best choice here. When the operator says "I'll put you through to order tracking", she means "I will connect or transfer your call to order tracking". This is a very useful expression to use on the telephone! Example: "-Could I speak to Susan Bliss please? -One moment please, I'll put you through!".
4 pass you through: This is not correct. To "pass someone through" is grammatically incorrect. In a less formal context, we could say "-Is John there? -Yes, I'll pass him the phone". However, this is not what happens during the telephone call you listened to.
4 join you through: This is not correct. To "join someone through" is grammatically incorrect, and it is not what the operator says during this phone call!
5 broken: "Broken" is the term used here. If something is "broken", it "does not work". This comes from the verb "to break", which is irregular: Break/broke/broken.
5 breaking: It doesn't make sense to use the present continuous form of this verb here, and this isn't what Edward sings in the conversation.
5 break: It doesn't make sense to use the infinitive form of this verb here, and this isn't what Edward sings in the conversation.
6 order reference code: "Order reference code" is the correct choice here. This is a series of letters and/or numbers which Edward was given when he bought his guitar. This code will allow the operator to find the correct order for Edward!
6 booking reference number: A "booking reference number" is given to you when you "book" or "reserve" something such as travel or concert tickets. This isn't the term used in the conversation, and it doesn't make sense to refer to a guitar purchase as a "booking".
6 postal code: Someone's postal code is part of their address. If you live in Paris, your postal code might be 75011, and if you live in London, it could be SW1 1AA. This doesn't make sense here, and it's not the term used in the phone call.
7 replacement: "Replacement" is the term we needed here. A "replacement" guitar is a new one, offered as a substitution for the broken guitar which Edward received. Another example: "I want a replacement for the Kalvin Krime lipstick I bought last week: this one has a hair in it!". The related verb is "to replace", which means "to substitute" or "to swap one thing for another"!
7 displacement: "Displacement" refers to something or someone being moved from one place to another. Example: "The war resulted in the displacement of thousands of people, who are now living as refugees". This wasn't the term used by the operator, and it doesn't make sense here.
7 placement: A "placement" can be either a financial investment or an internship or work experience period. Neither of these makes sense here, and this is not the term which the operator used in this conversation.
