Listening Pratice

Listening 3 (Target Score page 32)

Listen to the radio news bulletin about GloTelCom and answer the following questions.

1. What is GloTelCom going to do today?

2. What did GloTelCom do two months ago?

3. What are the job prospects for workers seeking employment in the area?

4. What have most large communications companies already done?

(Audio Script Listening 3)

GloTelCom, the communications giant, announced it would be holding a press conference today at their local headquarters. Is the industry leader preparing to shut down local operations and move overseas? With quarterly profits down again, GloTelCom has union representatives and local government officials concerned that they may take more drastic measures after 1,000 skilled workers were let go two months ago in an effort to lower costs.

This comes only two weeks after the mayor said in a speech that the local economy was quote “strong and stable”. If GloTelCom decides to reduce its workforce, the local economy and hundred of families will be adversely affected. Moreover, the community has already seen many manufacturing jobs leave the area and according to union leaders, the future for local workers remains uncertain. It is unlikely laid-off workers would be able to find jobs in another factory.

Over the past fifteen years, the telecommunications industry has undergone enormous change. While most of the larger companies have already closed their domestic operations in order to move into cheaper labor markets, GloTelCom has remained until now, the exception.
