Mind the Accent

Task 2. Fill in the table with words from the text below. Mind the rules of reading.

A few years ago, our firm put in a programthat was suggestedby Arianna Campbell of Boomer Consulting, and our people, especially our managers, really latchedon to this, and we called itfocustime. This is just a time thatisset aside. Wedidthree days a week, anywhere froman hour and a half to two hours. The rules are pretty simple. You’re allowed to turnoff your notifications, close your door, put on your headphones, whatever you need to focus, but you didn’t have to takephone calls fromclients. You don’t have to schedule any meetingsduringthattime. You don’t have to take phone calls frompartners, from other employees. You’re free to work on whatever you needattentiononatthat timethat you needuninterruptedactivity. Cal Newport in his book Deep Work talks a lot about the power and the benefitsand the factthat most of usin the knowledge professionneedthisuninterruptedtime. Distractionscan, evenifwe don’t realizethem, cantake a lot away from our focusandattention. The studies show itcantakeup to 20 minutes to getbackintothatconcentratedeffort. So you canimagine how slowly you would work if you had to deal withthoseinterruptionson a regularbasis.

2. Mike is very ambitious and interested in a job with good prospects for promotion.

9. Energy efficiency and renewable power sources are the most essential topics addressed today.

10. Obviously, a pleasant and stress-free working environment increases productivity of the staff.

11. Jack’s been in a bad mood lately because of his temporary unemployment, perhaps.

12. Don’t even think to quit your permanent job or you’ll lose the stability you’ve been enjoying for so long!

Task 10. Work in pairs. Find the odd-one-out and explain why it doesn’t belong in the group. Use your dictionaries if necessary.

1. bonus – benefits – perks – fine

2. accountant – shrink – bookkeeper – CPA

3. interest – profit – penalty – benefit

4. revenue – loss – payment – bills

5. purchase – sale – asset – investment

6. idleness – business – career – position

7. salary – wage – capital – debt

8. experience – ignorance – practice – skill

9. professional – qualified – green – competent

10. manager – client – consumer – buyer

1) «Fine» is the odd-one-out because all other three mean something given or paid over and above what is due, whereas «fine» is a sum of money taken as a penalty.

2) «Shrink» is the odd-one-out because all other three are professionals who have completed their studies at some educational institutions and have required certificates.
