Question
Explain your article to your partner. Use your answers to exercise 2a to help you. Then quickly read your partner's article.
Answer
- Student A's text is about saying goodbye to your staff. Student B's text is about saying goodbye to a partner.
- Companies used text messages, emails, post-it notes and Facebook. One company disabled an employee's security card. One actor sent his pregnant girlfriend a fax; another split up with his partner on live TV; someone else emailed his wedding guests and a king executed two of his wives.
- There's no nice way to fire someone, but managers should show respect for the employee. In relationships, some people have always been insensitive when it's time to say goodbye.
- (student's own answers)
- Both texts suggest you should show respect to others.
