This dicussion about the solution of punishing people who come to a company late.
According to the reading passage, they have two options. Frist option is forcing the workers to work extra time. For example, if they go to work late 1 hour, they will stay late at the company more 1 hour. Second option is cutting down their income. So, it is not easy to choose the best solution.In this option, coming late 1 hour means they must be received less 1 hour's salary.
According to the listening passage, they talk about the disvandage of 2 solutions. If the president company punishes the person who is not on time by working more hours, they can go to work anytime they want. And it's not the best solution. On the other hand, cutting down their salary seems to be the best solution. But coming to work late means making the company loose so much work hours.It will be the bad effect on their company.Therefore, it's hard to choose which is the best option. Lastly, the company decides to use 2 optins at the same time. It means if someone who is not on time, they must be received less salary and work more time.

The reading talks about the company's problem and two solutions while the listening adds more information about that.
According to the reader,the problem is that the junior employees are not puntial for their work and that causes serious damage for the company. Therefore, the two seniors bring two solution. The first solution is that they get the juniors to compensate for the time they miss. If they come to work one hour late then they have to stay one hour to work for the missed time. The second solution is to cut down on their salaries based on their missed time. If they are late one hour, the company will cut one hour's money of their salaries.
In the listening, the first solution can reduce the company's damage but it doesn't actually stop the problem. Because the juniors can controll their time and decide to arrive late one hour and then stay up one hour to finish their work. The second solution can stop the problem but it can't help the company avoid loosing work. Because if the juniors keep arriving late, they still lose work. Therefore, the president finally decides to apply both the first solution and the second solution on the juniors.

- Topic:Some people say that parents are the best teachers. Have your parents been good teachers to you? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
- Essay:
Throughout my life, I have been lucky to have a very close relasionship with my parents. They supported me, gave me a lot of comments (criticisms and compliments) about how to live my life. Nowadays, I matured, and had a good job so that in my Experiences, I received that parents can be good teachers.
First of all, my parents as teachers, they taught me not only subjects in my school (history, math, or other subjects) but also playing social activities. Perhaps, my parents were too close to their children, they understood weakness points, trong points, From there, they were easy to share emotions and backgrounds which they had. For example, during my school life, My parent taught me all the subjects, I had not learnt any subjects from tutoring classes
Secondly, my parents also taught more than subjects. They taught me way of behaviour with anyone that were kind and honest. Especially, that are clever way when troubles happended. For example, I remember, I drove around the city by motocycle, I saw a handbag on the street. I picked it up and I confused what I did. I brough it to my home. Then, my parents ask me to bring it to the police station. When I went to the police station, the owner already waited for me in long run. I returned it for them, I felt the happyness on their faces.
Afther that, I promise myselft that althought I will become anyone, but I still think my parents always are good teacher.

The reading passage and the lecture discuss about the problem about the time working
of junior accountants in Acme Accounting Company.
According to the passage, the problem is some members of the company often come to work late.
This has a serious effect on the company. So, the president wants all the members to
show some solutions. The first solution is one must have an extratime after everyone comes
home if he or she has come to work late. By this way, as in the lecture, junior accountants
can make their own hours for work. Moreover, they also show another solution. It is the
company will cut down their payments at the end of the month if they go to work late in this
month. Because if one goes to work late, the company's works will be delayed. So, quality of
company will reduce and this has a deep effect on company.
After discussing and generalizing these ideas, the president decides to combine to
solutions to apply to person who is late for work. It is believed to decrease the tardiness
problem of this company.
