It's Tough Being The New Guy At The Office

(1) Jason: Listen
Good morning.
(2) Cherry: Listen
Hey.
(3) Jason: Listen
The office is so empty. [vocab word=no one]No one[/vocab] is here!

"No one is here" means "there isn't anyone" or "there isn't a person here".

(4) Cherry: Listen
Yeah. Mrs. Mason is on a [vocab word=trip]trip[/vocab]. The [vocab word=sales]sales[/vocab] [vocab word=team]team[/vocab] is on a sales [vocab word=retreat]retreat[/vocab].

A sales retreat is a trip for the sales team. In a retreat, team members relax, have fun, learn some new things, and become better friends.

(5) Jason: Listen
Where is the [vocab word=marketing]marketing[/vocab] team?
(6) Cherry: Listen
They are on their way to the [vocab word=conference]conference[/vocab] in Atlanta.

"on their way to" means they are traveling to the conference now.

(7) Jason: Listen
Conference? Who is going on the conference?
(8) Cherry: Listen
[vocab word=everyone]Everyone[/vocab] in the marketing team is going to the conference.

"Everyone" is 1 word. "No one" is 2 words.

(9) Jason: Listen
Well, not everyone! I'm in the marketing team!
(10) Cherry: Listen
Oh, you are the new guy. Jack, right?
(11) Jason: Listen
No! I'm Jason. Nobody told me about the conference in Atlanta.

"Nobody" means "No one". Not 1 person told Jason about the conference.

(12) Cherry: Listen
Your [vocab word=boss]boss[/vocab] sent [vocab word=everybody]everybody[/vocab] an email last night.

"Everybody" means "everyone".

(13) Jason: Listen
I haven't [vocab word=receive]received[/vocab] anything, yet.
(14) Cherry: Listen
Let's [vocab word=check]check[/vocab] the sent [vocab word=list]list[/vocab] ... Found it! "jack_man@ABTechnology.com"

A "sent list" has all the emails that are sent.

(15) Jason: Listen
My email is "jason_mann@ABTechnology.com". I'm Jason Mann, not Jack man!
(16) Cherry: Listen
They are probably at the train station now.
(17) Jason: Listen
When is the train coming?
(18) Cherry: Listen
In 15 minutes.
(19) Jason: Listen
And the train station is 10 km away...
