New Employee

Hi, I am Rajanya. Today is my first day with the team. It is nice to meet you.

Colleague

Yes, of course. Give me the update and we can check the next step.

New Employee

Could you tell me where the team usually keeps project files and shared documents?

Colleague

That sounds clear. Let us make sure the responsibility and timing are understood.

New Employee

Great. I just want to make sure I have understood everything correctly before we continue.

Colleague

No problem. It is always better to confirm the details than to guess.

New Employee

Is there a regular meeting where everyone gives updates?

Colleague

Yes, that is the right interpretation.

New Employee

Okay, I understand. Let me repeat the main point in my own words so I remember it.

Colleague

Perfect. Go ahead. If anything is missing, I will correct it.

New Employee

Thank you. I will spend today learning the system and introducing myself to the people I will work with.

Colleague

Perfect. Send the update when it is ready and let me know early if anything changes.

New Employee

Thank you. That makes the situation much easier for me.

Colleague

You are welcome. I am glad we could sort it out clearly.

Useful Expressions

  • Do you have a minute?
  • Could you explain the priority?
  • Is that correct?
  • I’ll update you.

Speak it aloud

Read the conversation once. Then choose one role and speak only that role aloud. On the second round, close the page after each line and try to respond naturally in your own words.

Practise This Situation with Timer

Practice Challenge

Keep the same situation but change two details. For example, change the time, place, problem, preference or reason. Try to continue the conversation for one extra minute without reading.
