解题思路：【录音原文】
W: Good morning, Mr. Johnson. How can I help you?
M: Well, I’d like to talk to you about Tim Bond, the department manager.
W: What seems to be the problem?
M: Well, [12][13]ever since Sandra left the department, I felt like I’ve been targeted to do all her work, as well as mine. I’m expected to attend too many meetings. And I seem to be spending a lot of my time doing unnecessary paperwork.
W: I’m sorry to hear that.
M: And on top of that, I’d specifically asked if I could leave early last Friday as I’ve done a lot of overtime during the week. But that afternoon, even though I’d finished my assigned work, I was told to help other colleagues finish their work, too.
W: But surely, [14]that’s a positive sign showing that Mr. Bond has a lot of trust in you.
M: Yeah, but other colleagues get to leave early and they don’t have such a lot of work to do.
W: So you feel he’s making unrealistic demands on you?
M: Yes, absolutely.
W: Have you approached Mr. Bond about this particular problem?
M: I’ve tried, but it seems he just has no time for me.
W: Well, at this stage, [15]it would be better to approach him directly, if nothing else show you can solve the problem yourself before you take it further. Make it clear you’re not just a complainer. Why don’t you send an email requesting a meeting with him in private?
M: Hmm, I feel a bit worried about his reaction. But, anyway I’ll send him an email to request a meeting, and I’ll see what happens from there. Thanks for your advice.
W: Good luck, let us know the outcome.
