PART ONE : Interview

　　(1) Do you ever feel overworked?(Why?/Why not?)

　　你是否曾感到工作过于疲劳?(为什么?)

　　Yes. Sometimes I am really overwhelmed with the heavy workload and feel tired and fatigued. As a secretary in the company, I have so much paperwork to do and often have to rush to meet tight deadlines. And I never seem to have time to take a holiday.

　　(2) What problems do staff usually have when they are under the burden of a heavy workload?

　　如果员工的工作量过大，会产生什么问题?

　　When they are under the burden of a heavy workload, employees will often feel frustrated or depressed. This would result in stress-related illnesses, such as high blood pressure and fatigue. Employees will be in very low morale and give very poor performance in their work.

　　(3) Do you think companies should provide sports facilities for their staff?(Why?)

　　你认为公司是否应该为其员工提供运动设施?(为什么?)

　　Yes. I think it’s wise for companies to provide sports facilities for their staff. Employees can make the best use of these facilities to keep fit, so they can have better performance in their work. It’s very rewarding.

　　(4) What types of sports do you like watching or playing?(Why?)

　　你喜欢观看并参与什么样的体育运动?(为什么?)

　　My favorite sport is table tennis. It’s a moderate exercise, but it requires great skills both tactical and technical. You have to have speed, stamina, dexterity, shrewdness and quickness in decision-making. (速度，耐力，灵巧，精明和快速决策) It’s the most popular sports game in China I think.

　　PART TWO: Mini-presentation

　　What’s important when…?

　　Coping with a heavy workload 应对繁重的工作需要考虑哪些要点?

　　l Benefits system 福利制度

　　l Time management 时间管理

　　l

　　In the face of a heavy workload, I think companies can introduce more benefits programmes. They can offer wellness and exercise programme, and provide exercise facilities to enhance employees’ health. They can also introduce more flexible benefits programmes like childcare and nursing care for aging parents, etc. so that employees can balance work and nonwork.

　　Time management is also important. Companies can provide training programs to help employees better manage their time. In this way, employees will become more organized and feel more at ease with their routine work.

　　Apart from these, companies should also care about the employees’ mental health. They can provide psychological consultancy advice, so that employees can better adjust themselves to their work pressure.

　　面对一个沉重的工作量，我认为公司应该引进更多福利计划。他们提供健身和锻炼的计划，而且提供锻炼的设施来强健员工的体魄。他们也可以引进更为灵活的福利计划诸如儿童看护和照看上年纪的父母，等等。员工可以因此来平衡工作和生活。

　　时间管理也很重要。公司可以提供培训来帮助员工更好的管理他们的时间。通过这种方法，员工将变得更加有组织能力，并且在日常工作中感到放心。

　　除此之外，公司也应该关心员工的心理健康。他们可以提供心理咨询建议，使员工能够更好地适应他们的工作压力。
