Some people call me a secretary, but I prefer to be called a PA because I do much more than a secretary. A secretary only answers calls, takes messages, and does paperwork. I do all of that plus more for Ms. Jones. Ms. Jones gets many calls every day, but because she is so busy, I screen out the non-essential calls. When Ms. Jones is busy, I don't put through to her any unimportant calls, so that she can concentrate on her work. I also spend a lot of time writing memos, reading reports, and organizing her schedule. Sometimes, I am so busy that I feel like I need my own personal assistant! --Tina, personal assistant. 我叫蒂娜， 是萨曼塔?琼斯女士的个人助理。有人会称我为秘书，但是我更愿 意被称为个人助理， 因为我做的事情超过了秘书的范围。秘书一般只接听电话、纪 录留言，做一些书面工作。这一切我都要替琼斯女士做，而且还远远不止这些。琼 斯女士每天都有很多电话，但是因为她非常忙，我便把一些不重要的电话挡下来。 当琼斯女士忙的时候，我便不会给她接通那些不重要的电话，这样她就可以集中精 力做自己的工作。我也要花很多时间写备忘录、读书报告、安排她的日程。有时候， 我忙得觉得自己也需要一个个人助理。 --蒂娜， 个人助理 Part 5: Vocabulary and Phrases 1. available [,,,,,,,,,] a. 有空的,可与之联系的 2. disturb [,,,,,,:b] vt. 妨碍,打扰 3. assistance [,,,,,,,,,] n. 援助,帮助 4. regarding / in regards to 关于 5. secretary [,,,,，,,，,] n. 秘书 6. personal assistant 19 n. 私人秘书,个人助理 7. paperwork [,,,,,,,\:k] n. 日常文书工作 8. schedule [,,,,,,:l] n. 表;日程安排表 Unit 5 第五单元 Making Telephone Calls 打电话 Part 1: Expressions 1.

It is very important for a company to have a means for staff to file complaints against other employees. This ensures that people who are mistreated do not feel like they have to endure such ill-treatment. The most important thing is that everybody feels respected and is given a fair chance to prove themselves. -- Kelly, Independent Woman. 要保卫自己的权利非常重要。我的父母教导我说任何人都没有权利不尊重被人， 也没有权利让别人感到自卑。所以，我从来也不能忍受因为我是女人就对我的态度 非常恶劣的人或者是因为我不同于他们就对我非常不友好的人。 对于公司来说，员工能够通过某种方式提出对其他员工的投诉是非常重要的。 这样就可以保证遭受不公正待遇的员工不会感觉受这种待遇是必然的。最重要的是 每个人都有受到别人尊重的感觉，同时也可以获得公平的机会来证明自己的能力。 凯利，自立的女人 -- Part 5: Vocabulary and Phrases 1. inappropriate [,,,,,,，,,,，,,,] a. 不适当的 2. get away with this ( = not get in trouble for doing sth. wrong ) 侥幸逃脱，逃脱惩处 3. awkward [,,,,,,,] a. 不便的,不合适的;尴尬的 4. unwind ( relax ) [,,,,,,,,,] vt.
