General Instruction
Good morning everyone. I hope you're all feeling OK after the activities of the last week or so. I
know you've all been working very hard recently and we've been exceptionally busy, especially with
the wedding last weekend and the trade fair straight after that. And now we have only three days to
prepare for the birthday party this weekend.
The events recently have gone extremely well and the hotel is beginning to get a very good
reputation, so we need to keep it up. At the moment, we don't have exact numbers of guests and
though we usually only cater for groups of less than fifty, we will have quite a few more than that.
So - as I said - not sure of numbers but of course we won't go over the maximum of 100.
But it's likely that we will need all of you to work this weekend so if any of you can't, please let me
know as soon as possible. Right - so what time will the event start? Well the invitation says guests
should arrive between 7.30 and 7.45 but our experience is that there are always a few who like to
arrive early so we'll expect the first people at 7.15.
As the numbers are quite large, this will certainly be the case. Food will be served at around 8.30 and
then, depending on how long the meal takes, the entertainment will start about two hours later. Now,
for this, we were expecting a live band for the occasion which is always fun, but apparently this has
been cancelled due to illness.
So - the hosts know someone who is a comedian who will be replacing the band. We had hoped that
the resident magician who worked here through the summer would be able to help out but they
weren't keen on that idea.
So I'd just like to go through who's doing what when the guests arrive and I think we'll make a few
changes from the last party held here. If I remember correctly, it was Olav who co-ordinated the task
of providing the guests with drinks or was it Ahmed? (checking) Um, I'm not sure - but Gary asked
to do it this time - so that will be his job.
There's been no decision yet on what the drinks are going to be but I hope they decide soon in case
we need to order something special. Now - for receiving the guests' coats and hats, it's important we
have someone experienced doing this as we don't want guests losing their belongings.
And Monica, last time this was your responsibility. Susan, I know you wanted to do this but as the
numbers are quite high for this event I won't make a change here. Right - now last time there was
some confusion as to where guests were supposed to go once they had deposited their things and we
had guests roaming around the whole hotel.
So Ahmed and Olav - I believe you discussed the problems with Susan and thought she would be
good at guiding guests after they had arrived - and I'm fine with that. Right - and now for some
general instructions. Once the guests have arrived they will be in and around the lounge area and
then at around 8.30 we need to get them to move to the restaurant for their meal.
This often proves difficult and can take a long time so I will ring a bell so that everyone knows it's
time to eat! Hopefully this will speed things up a bit. Also - for this event there'll be a seating plan,
so the guests won't be able to decide for themselves where to sit - they'll have to sit according to the
plan.
There'll be a plan on each table and I've been thinking about where to put the master plan so
everyone can view it before they enter the restaurant. As they'll be spending quite a while in the
lounge, I've decided to also put a plan there. This should speed up the start of the meal.
Once the meal starts, you'll all be very busy waiting on the tables and I'm sure I don't need to tell you
to be good-humoured and polite to all the guests. The organiser of the event will be saying a few
words and so will two of his colleagues.
So when the speeches start all activity must stop in the restaurant so that the three people giving
them can be heard. This shouldn't take long - and it should be towards the end of the meal. After that,
the guests will move back to the lounge for the entertainment. So I think that's it. Any questions come and see me later.
FINDING FAMILY
Ever wondered if you had a relative you knew nothing about? It's not as rare as you might think.
STARTER ACTIVITY
You are going to read a magazine article about people who discovered they had a relative they didn't
know about. Read the texts quickly and decide if the statements are true (T) or false (F).. ✔All the
people are unhappy about what happened to them.
All the people only met recently.
MAIN ACTIVITY
For questions 1-10, choose from the people (A-D). The people may be chosen more than once.
Which two people....
1 live near one another?
2
do the same work?
3 met thanks to someone else?
4 blame someone else for what happened to them?
5 plan to meet for the first time soon?
6 had a good relationship before they found out the truth? were not equally knowledgeable about
their family history? 8 plan to publish something about their experience?
9 were at the same event when they were very young? 10 were the victims of a cruel experiment?
A Harry and Samuel Quintana
Harry Quintana and his cousin Samuel have a lot in common, even if they didn't know that until they
met again recently after fifty years. Samuel grew up In South Africa and only visited the USA, where
his cousin Harry lived, once as a very small child. Both children attended a family wedding. After
that neither boy's parents talked about their relatives overseas. As a result, the cousins grew up on
different sides of the Atlantic Ocean, unaware of each other and the parallel lives they were leading.
Harry Quintana graduated in dentistry and decided to specialise in the treatment of children. Until he
saw Samuel's name In a conference programme, he had no idea that over in South Africa his cousin
had already become well established in exactly the same profession. When the cousins met recently
they found out they like the same foods and have both recently taken up golf.
B Andrea Ives and Sandy Dixon
They look alike and sound alike, wear similar Clothes and have often been taken for sisters. But it
still came as a huge shock to Andrea Ives and Sandy Dixon when, more than fifteen years into their
friendship, they discovered that they really are related. Ives was adopted as a child but earlier this
year learnt the identity of her biological parents. She realised at once that her father had the same
name as her best friend's dad. A DNA test later confirmed that he was in fact the same man. The
women, who live a mile apart, met through a mutual friend.
