Stress au travail_1_dictée_transcription

STRESS AU TRAVAIL 

Dictée

On parle de stress au travail quand une personne ressent un décalage entre ce qu’on lui demande de faire et les ressources dont elle dispose pour y répondre. Les situations stressantes qui s’installent dans la durée ont toujours un coût pour la santé. Elles ont également des conséquences négatives sur le fonctionnement des entreprises. La démarche de prévention consiste à réduire les sources de stress dans l'entreprise en améliorant les conditions de travail et les relations avec les collègues.

Why is it good to take classes on italki?

POSTAL CLERK: What can I do for you today?
CAROL: I need to mail this package to New York, please.
POSTAL CLERK: OK, let’s see how much it weighs … it’s about 
five pounds. If you send it express, it will get there 
tomorrow. Or you can send it priority and it will get 
there by Saturday.
CAROL: Saturday is fine. How much will that be?
POSTAL CLERK: $11.35 [eleven thirty-five]. Do you need anything else?
CAROL: Oh, yeah! I almost forgot. I need a book of stamps, too.
POSTAL CLERK: OK, your total comes to $20.35
[twenty dollars and thirty-five cents].


LANGUAGE NOTES
• What can I do for you today? Notice that this question starts with “What,” so the 
intonation drops at the end of the question.
• Or you can send it priority … Notice the stress on “or,” which emphasizes that there is 
another possibility.
• $11.35 ... $20.35 Notice the two different ways the postal clerk says the price. First he 
says eleven thirty-five (without the words dollars and cents), then he says twenty dollars 
and thirty-five cents.
• Oh, yeah! is an expression used here to mean “I just remembered something.” It’s often 
followed by “I almost forgot.”
• Your total comes to … is a way of saying “the cost is ….”
