Themenquiz 1: Canadian workplace culture and small talk

  1. Frage 1 von 16

    Your shift starts at 8:00 am. When is the best time to arrive?
    Antwort anzeigen

    Antwort: C. A few minutes early, so you are ready at 8:00

    Punctuality matters in Canadian workplaces. Arriving a few minutes early means you can start work on time.

  2. Frage 2 von 16

    You see a coworker for the first time today. What is usual in most Canadian workplaces?
    Antwort anzeigen

    Antwort: D. Greet them, for example "Good morning!"

    Greet coworkers the first time you see them each day. You do not need to greet them again every time you pass.

  3. Frage 3 von 16

    A coworker says "Hi, how are you?" as you pass in the hallway. What is the most natural answer?
    Antwort anzeigen

    Antwort: C. Good, thanks. How about you?

    "How are you?" is usually a greeting, not a real question about your health. A short, friendly answer and a question back is normal.

  4. Frage 4 von 16

    Which topic is usually safe for small talk with a new coworker?
    Antwort anzeigen

    Antwort: A. Plans for the long weekend

    Weekend plans, weather, food and local events are safe topics. Pay, religion and politics are personal and best avoided.

  5. Frage 5 von 16

    Sofia: Hi, you must be new here. I'm Sofia. I work in receiving.
    Marco: Hi Sofia, I'm Marco. Today's my first day in shipping.
    Sofia: Welcome! What should I call you? Marco, or something shorter?
    Marco: Marco is fine. Nice to meet you.

    Antwort anzeigen

    Antwort: C. What name he likes to be called

    Sofia asks, "What should I call you?" Asking what name someone prefers is polite. Marco tells her about shipping without being asked.

    Marco: Marco is fine. Nice to meet you.

  6. Frage 6 von 16

    Your manager signs her emails "Dr. Ana Lopez". If you use her title, what should you call her?
    Antwort anzeigen

    Antwort: D. Dr. Lopez

    In Canada, a title is used with the last name only, so "Dr. Lopez" is correct. Many workplaces simply use first names.

  7. Frage 7 von 16

    You forgot the name of a coworker you met yesterday. What is the best thing to do?
    Antwort anzeigen

    Antwort: D. Say sorry and ask them to remind you

    Forgetting a name is common. Apologize and ask: "Sorry, can you remind me of your name?"

  8. Frage 8 von 16

    Which phrase is a polite way to end small talk and go back to work?
    Antwort anzeigen

    Antwort: C. Anyway, I'd better get back to work. Talk later!

    "I'd better get back to work" ends the chat in a friendly way. The other choices sound rude.

  9. Frage 9 von 16

    You are writing to a mixed group of coworkers. Which greeting includes everyone?
    Antwort anzeigen

    Antwort: D. Hi everyone

    The Language Portal of Canada suggests "Everyone" instead of "Guys" so that no one is left out.

  10. Frage 10 von 16

    Which job title is gender-inclusive?

    Gender-inclusive titles such as police officer, chair and server work for everyone.

    Complete the workplace rule so that it includes everyone: "If an employee needs a day off, ___ must ask ___ supervisor."
    Antwort anzeigen

    Antwort: C. they ... their

    When you do not know a person's gender, use singular "they" and "their".

    Tom: Oh, really? I didn't know that.

    Tom: Thanks for telling me. I won't wear cologne from now on.

    Priya explains that the office is scent-free because some people get headaches from perfume or cologne. Many Canadian workplaces have this rule.

    Your supervisor asks you to use a machine you have never used before. What is the best response?
    Antwort anzeigen

    Antwort: A. Say you are new to it and ask for a quick demo

    Asking questions is a normal way to learn how things are done at work. Being honest about what you know also keeps you safe.

  14. Frage 14 von 16

    A coworker borrowed your tools without asking. It just happened a second time. What is a good first step?
    Antwort anzeigen

    Antwort: B. Talk to them calmly and directly about it

    Karen (Shift Supervisor)

  16. Frage 16 von 16

    Read the message. What should Jun call his supervisor?

    - Your shift is 7:00 am to 3:30 pm, Monday to Friday. Please be at your station by 7:00.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

What certificate do I get, and what is it not?

If you score 80% or more on the final assessment, you get a PassEveryTest Certificate of Completion. It shows you finished this practice course. It is not a CLB level, an official language test result or an employer or government certification.

Will this course give me a CLB level for immigration or citizenship?

No. Immigration and citizenship use approved language tests or other accepted proof set by the Government of Canada. This course is practice for everyday workplace English only.

How do the listening questions work?

Your device reads the workplace conversation aloud in a Canadian English voice. The question does not show the script. You can read the script after you answer.

Do the pay and schedule rules in the lessons apply to my job?

The lessons use federal labour standards as an example. They apply to federally regulated workplaces, such as banks and airlines. Other jobs follow the employment standards of the province or territory where you work, so check those for your exact rules.

How does the final assessment work?

It has 35 questions picked at random from the whole course, with a 35-minute time limit. You get a new mix each time, and you need 80% to pass.

Where can I get free English classes in Canada?

Eligible newcomers, such as permanent residents and protected persons, can take free LINC classes. Contact a newcomer services organization near you to get a language assessment and register.

Ist die Bescheinigung akkreditiert oder offiziell anerkannt?

Nein. Es ist eine private Teilnahmebescheinigung, nur für Ihr Wissen. Sie ist von keiner Behörde, Zulassungsstelle, Aufsichtsbehörde oder Bildungseinrichtung anerkannt, akkreditiert oder genehmigt und ersetzt keine gesetzlich vorgeschriebene Lizenz, Zertifizierung oder Ausbildung.
