Sinopse

"The Sheik’s inspector claimed we were ten thousand barrels short." [Photo © buso23/Bigstockphoto.com] He's a rookie: When Steve Mitchel arrives in Arabia, he meets with Williams, the field manager, to hear his version of what happened. What caused the problem between the Five Star Oil Company and the Sheik? Williams’ story is the same as what Mitchel already heard when he was given this assignment.

For one thing, the checker on the pipeline is new to the job. We often call a new employee a “rookie”. So perhaps this was just a rookie mistake, a mistake made due to inexperience. Even so, Mitchel wants to carry out a thorough investigation. FREE PDF: Keywords & Transcript Quizlet:  Have fun learning the keywords with English-Chinese Flashcards and Games.
