Interpreting Training: Note-Taking Practice Exercise #5 – Public Service (HR Call)

We're back with a slightly different note-taking exercise for a change! This one is a Public Service scenario and consists of a voicemail message sent by an employee to her boss regarding a work absence.

There are 4 VERSIONS of the speech in this video, each a bit faster than the previous, so you can practice and progress through repetition and increased difficulty.

SPEECH VERSION TIME CODES:
►00:53 - Advanced Beginner (25% slow)
►02:24 - Intermediate (15% slow)
►03:48 - Advanced Intermediate (8% slow)
►05:06 - Advanced (full speed)

Please let me know your thoughts about the exercise in the comments. I'll consider releasing a couple of more like this if you like the somewhat 'experimental' format.

TOPIC(S): Human Resources, Public Service

TERMS: x-ray, Hospital, treatment, steering wheel, knee, swollen
