I guess the budget has been reduced.
Yes, and in fact, I heard that the convention
was almost canceled this year because the
situation is so bad.
Im sorry to tell you this but I couldnt book
a flight to Tokyo this week. All the flights
are fully booked. Do you think its possible
for us to have our meeting next week
instead, Mr. Yamamoto?
Well, I will be going to Europe for a
business conference for two weeks. Why
dont we just reschedule the meeting after I
come back?
That will be fine. I will call you back in two
weeks to schedule a time.
That sounds fine. By the way, will you be
making the trip out here with your manager,
Mr. Smith?

time?

lobby at 1 then.
Id like a non-smoking room with a view of
the lake, please,

rooms?

would like to have breakfast before I take
off to meet him.

with that. Our restaurant opens at 5 a.m.

result of our achievement with this years sales
campaign. I cannot say in words how much I
appreciate the hard work each and every one of

Good morning everyone. May I have your

new employee at our company and his name is
William Chow. Mr. Chow, who comes to us from
J agar Incorporated, is here to take over J ohn
Simpsons position as the advertising manager.
As you know, J ohn has taken a leave of
absence to be with his ill father in France and
we desperately needed someone who can take
over the project J ohn has been working on. Im
so happy to say we found William because he
comes to us with a lot of experience and will be
able to fill the gap J ohn has left.

there will be no meeting next month because of
the renovation work in this building. Im sure all
of you will be impressed by the new look of the
building when we convene again in J uly.
Anyway, lets get back to todays agenda. As

Now, if I may, Id like to recommend our chefs

ribs are excellent and reasonably priced. They
both come with a potato and steamed
vegetables. The roast beef dinner is priced at
$9.99, and the ribs are priced at $12.99.
However, if you are not a meat lover, you might
want to try the vegetable fried rice. Thats
priced at $7.99 and is also very tasty.

hazardous to our environment and is also
causing some serious landfill problems.
However, a small local firm, Fifteen Minute
Recycle, has been able to turn this problem into
a lucrative business. This company collects
these unwanted phones and fixes them up.
Then, they export them out to 35 other

Its not easy to get to know those who dont
work directly with you, even though we work in
the same building. Anyway, to get back to the
days event, I would like everyone to pick up a
nametag at Area C if you have not already done
so. It is important that all of you wear a

comes by with the boxes you had asked
for, Mr. Sanchez?
M: Yes, thats right. I forgot all about that.
Could you call him and ask him to come by

be here when he brings those boxes
because I need to check the contents.
w: Okay, Ill call him and let him know right

of our annual conference yet?
W2: No, nothing, Ms. Wells. Isnt it going to be
held in December as usual?
No, its going to be held in early J anuary of

they will call today to let us know exactly
when.
W2: Well, its only 2 oclock. We still have a few
more hours before we finish for the day. Im
sure that we will get the call.
M: Would you by chance know a good dentist
near here? One of my teeth is hurting and I
think I should go and see someone about it.
w Im sorry but Im not very familiar with this
area. However, the receptionist lives
around here. Why dont you go and ask
her? She could probably refer you to a
good place.

just walk and see any dentist,

good to get a referral from someone.

had asked him to read it over for me. I dont
know what it is, but I seem to be forgetting
things lately. Maybe I need to take a few
days off to relax,
w Yes, you should take a few days off. Youve
been working way too hard.
w Excuse me. Im looking to go to city hall.
Would you know where it is by any chance?
Of course. J ust walk down this road for two
blocks and you will see a grocery store on
the corner. Go west for another two blocks
and you will see it next to the post office,
w Yes, thats right. There is a shoe store near
there, right?
M: No, the shoe store closed down a while
ago. There is a burger shop there now.
w Mr. Lee finished putting the monthly report
together and asked me to send it to Mr.
Shaw. Do you think I should call a courier
service?
No need for that, Sandra. It costs too much.
J ust send it by mail. It should get to the
home office within a couple of days,
w All right. Ill drop by the post office on my
way back from lunch then. In the meantime,
what do you want me to do with this load of
copies I made for Ms. Thompson?
Give them to me. I have to go and see the
general manager now and Ill drop them off
in her office on my way.

company party this evening?
No, Im getting a lift with Sean. I took my

Also, J oe will be taking his vacation next week,

Thank you, Ron, for the local traffic situation

The beautiful sunshine we are enjoying at the
moment is expected to come to an end by this
afternoon. It looks like heavy rain with possible
thunderstorms is headed our way from the
northwest. Listeners should pack an umbrella as
you leave for work this morning. The weather for

returning and temperatures in the upper teens.
This has been J eff Willis with the weather

May I have your attention, shoppers! We here at
Vicks Wear will be having a sale on all childrens

with some items up to 50% off the regular price.
And if you are one of the first 50 customers in
the store on Saturday or Sunday, you will
receive two free tickets to see the famous
childrens play Pinocchio at the Dragon Theater.
So, if you are thinking of buying clothes for your
children as they head back to school, dont miss
out on this sale of the century and come down
to Vicks Wear this weekend.
May I have your attention, passengers! Bus
number 16, heading for Central Station, is now
boarding. Please make your way to gate 15 at

some broken water pipes on Pape Street is still
ongoing and bus number 16 is going to have to
bypass College Station. If your destination is
College Station, you should get off at University

As you can see in the graph on page 3 of the
report I have given you, a slight drop in our
sales during the last quarter indicates that bad
weather is the main reason for the poor sales at
our store. Consumers do not like to drive out to
shop during snowstorms and weve had many
days like that this year. Now, in order to resolve
this problem, we have decided to launch an
online shopping site. Many of our competitors
have turned to this line of business with
success beyond expectation. Therefore, we
have decided that we must also venture into
this area in order not to lag behind our
competitors. For this reason, I have recently
hired a webmaster. He is here today to talk to
us about how we are going to build our website

Hello, and welcome to our workshop today. As
the salespeople of our company, you will not
only need to sell our fax machines but you must
also have some knowledge of how the system
works. At a customers request sometimes, you
will be in a situation where you will need to fix
the machine to provide the best service to our
customers. Of course, if the problem is serious,
we have technicians who will make the trip.
However, our experience tells us that most of
our customers call us with minor problems that
can be fixed in a matter of minutes. Anyway,
today you will be taught how to assemble the
latest model, the Z-12 fax printer. You will
watch a training video regarding the new
machine, and then you will get a chance to
assemble the machines yourself. Now, would
you please open the manual you picked up on
your way in and turn to page 12?

of you to Global Systems Incorporated. As you

but we have grown rapidly and now have more
than 2,000 employees nationwide. Our products
have gained an excellent reputation among
consumers in the last few years because of their
high quality. However, the real reason behind
our growth is the excellent staff members we
have here. Our training system is one of the
best in the world. Now, I am going to invite Mr.

our training session by giving you some pointers
about the important key points about our

and a beautifully-maintained garden. The house
is located in a suburban residential area with a
nearby park and schools. The subway station is
located within walking distance and the
commute to the citys downtown area only takes
about 40 minutes. However, the best thing
about this house is that the owner is in a hurry
to sell it off. I assure you that you wont get a
price like this for a house this good anywhere.

centers and bulk superstores plus the
slowdown of our economy are putting a big dent
in that market. A local merchant who I spoke to
earlier has commented that the daily sales in
his store alone have dropped nearly 40% and
he feels his neighboring merchants are in a
similar situation, if not worse. If the economy
doesnt pick up soon, many of these retail shops
will be forced to close their doors. This has

Hello, this is Barry Owens, the head manager at
Elite Boutique. Im calling in regard to the
order of the specially-engraved box of hats and
shirts I had placed with your company on
September 16. The delivery took 2 weeks
longer than the date of my request and I would
like a full refund. However, a deal can be
worked out if you are willing to give me a
discount. As I explained earlier, the boxes of
shirts and hats I ordered were for the annual
corn festival held here in our town. The event is
now over and I cant sell the items at the regular
price. However, the leftover items usually get
sold at half the original price and I would be
willing to keep the order if you are willing to give
me a deal on them. Would you please call me
today to discuss this issue further? If I dont get
a call from you, I will send them back the first
thing tomorrow morning.
95-97 refer to the following instruction.
In order to renew your license, you have to pick
up a form at the counter by the door and fill it
out. Please do not leave any lines blank as this
will slowdown the process. If you wish to get
help with the form, come back here and I will
assist you. After you are done, line up behind
windows 2 through 5 to have your photo taken
and receive an eye test. Dont forget that there
is a fee of 50 dollars for renewing your license
as well. Then, take a seat in the waiting area.
When your new license is ready, your name will
be called. You can pick it up at window 7. Do
you understand the process now?
Id like to explain our new company policy
regarding the security of our offices. As you
may have heard, weve had several break-ins
this year, and last week, our main vault was
robbed. Luckily, there was not much cash in it
but weve decided that it is time to do
something about it. Now, for this reason, we
have decided to tighten up our security here by
having two guards patrolling 24 hours a day.
Also, all employees here will be assigned a new
electronic card. And only with this card, you will
be given access to the office building. Please
make sure to have it with you at all times. If for
any reason you forget the card at home, you
can get a temporary card from the security
office on the first floor. However, do not make a
habit of doing this. Also, if you lose your card,
report it to the security office immediately.

ticket prices will be increased by 10%. He
explained that the main reason for the hike is
the rising salaries of the players which have
been on the rise in the last few years. He
further explained that the team is having a hard
time meeting the payrolls of the players and
their only choice besides trading away the top
players is to hike up the seating prices. This
price hike is bad news for the fans, but as
always, the fans will continue to support their

sleeves and sell the product? For that reason,
we have decided to do something to help you
get the sales you want. From now, you will be
going to the head office for a week at the
beginning of every quarter to get the proper
training you need to improve your sales
techniques. We will be inviting the tops sales
people from our company to help you with the
little skills that will make a difference. We are
hoping that by December of this year, we will be
able to reach the goal we have set for
ourselves.

Of course, Ms. Smith. I see that you are
scheduled to return on November 15.
When would you like me to change it to?
I really have to come back a day early. I
hope there is a flight available?
Youre in luck. There is a seat available on
the 3-oclock flight. Will that be okay?
I heard that Crystals Consulting went
bankrupt.
Youre kidding me. I thought they were
doing well with the new contract they
signed earlier this year.
I know. I wonder what happened there.
Mr. Smith is your client, right? Why dont

Did you get in touch with Mr. Wong?

Id like to check out these books and this
magazine, please?
Im sorry but you cannot take the magazine
out of the building. Its reference material.
Im sorry, I didnt know. I guess I have no
choice but to make copies of the article I need.
Would you change this dollar bill for me?
Of course. And, our copier on this floor is
out of order. You will have to use the one
downstairs.
Excuse me. I think there has been a
mistake. I didnt have this apple pie
charged on my bill. Also, I didnt have the
steak dinner. I just had some chicken salad.
Im terribly sorry about that. I must have
brought you the wrong bill. Let me get the
right one for you right away.
All right. Could I also have this leftover food
to go?
Sure, I will put it in a bag for you.
Hi, J ean. Is Mr. Ramirez in his office?
Yes, but he is in there with Mr. Duncan right
now. Is there something I can do for you,
Ron?
Yes, could you tell him that I need his
signature on this document when he is done
in there? Tell him that I will need it by noon
because I have to give it to Mr. Chow when I
meet him for lunch. Can you do that for me?
Sure, I think I can do better than that. Ill ask
him to sign it then bring it by your office.
M: Could you do me a favor and take a trip
down to the post office to mail this letter?
The post office is closed now. Do you want
me to call a courier service instead?
Oh, is it that late already? In that case, Ill
just get Mary to take it to the clients office
after we finish work today then. She lives
very close to Mr. Browns office.
Okay, I'll give it to Mary when she comes
back from the warehouse.

I was very surprised to get your resume Mr.
King. We are looking for an advertising
manager but we have not let anyone know
of this yet. May I ask how you found about
it?
Well, a friend of mine works here and he
told me to send in my resume to you.
I see. Well, Im very impressed with your
qualifications and I think we may be able to
make space for you here. What is the name
of your friend by the way?
His name is Andrew J ones. Hes the
accounting manager here.
Have you finished reading the book I lent
you a couple of weeks ago?
Yes, I finished it over the weekend and it
was really good. I am so glad that you
recommended it to me. Anyway, I was
going to bring it with me today but I forgot.
Do you need it back soon?
Well, J ames has been asking about it and I
told him that I would lend it to him. Could
you bring it with you tomorrow?
Oh? I know J ames. He and I live in the same
apartment building. If youd like, I could give
it to him after I get off work tonight.
The leftover brochures from our last
seminar are stacked up in the back of the
room and it doesn't look good with clients
coming in and out of our office. I really think
we should move them to another place.
Couldnt we just put them in the storage
room for now?
Well, I wouldve already done that but there
is no room there now. Hey, I have an idea.
Ill go and speak to Mr. Lee and see if we
can temporarily store them in the janitors
room. Im sure that there is some space
there.

we will be handing them out at our next

May I have your attention everyone! The
Electronics Exhibit will be closing in 15 minutes.
Wed like at this time to ask all vendors to start
packing your goods. Visitors to the exhibit
should make your last-minute purchases at this
time as well. And lastly, those who have parked
your cars in the underground garage, you are to
move your vehicles by 6:15. The garage door
will be shut down at that time. Thank you and
we hope everyones had a great time today.
Hello everyone. Id like to first of all express my
gratitude for allowing me to speak at your
annual seminar every year. It has already been
5 years since I first set foot in this company. I
can still remember the first time I stood here
and I have to say the company has grown at
least twofold since then. At the time, the
companys growth was anticipated but the
speed at which it has expanded takes me by
surprise a little. Anyway, I am really happy to
have contributed at least a little with my
knowledge and experience in sales. Now, let
me begin the days talk with a brief history
about how the first salesman was born.
The road conditions around the city this
morning arent looking any different than
another other morning with the regular tie-ups
and a minor accident to report in the Bay Area.
A two-vehicle collision on the intersection of
Mills Road and J ackson Avenue is being
cleared up and traffic should resume to its
normal condition very shortly. Also, the
construction on Peace Bridge has its five lanes
reduced down to two lanes. Those who are
planning to travel across the bay are advised to
use the Ambassador Bridge instead. This has
been Rob Stewart with the days traffic report.
80-82 refer to the fol l owing voice mail.
Thank you for calling the voice mail of Stan
J ohnson of the McMillan Dealership. Im
currently showing a vehicle to a customer and
cant answer your call. However, if youd leave
me the details of your call and a number to
contact, I will get back to you as soon as I can.
If this is a call about the compact sedan you
saw in todays advertisement in the paper, Id
like to mention that the sale price will only last
until tomorrow. The sedan is a hot item and is
going fast, so dont delay! If this is an urgent
call, please press zero and talk to the
receptionist. She will page me right away.
Thank you and have a nice day!
Hi, and welcome to the Pittsburgh Zoo. My
name is Charlie and I will be guiding you
around this afternoon. Now, before we begin
our tour, Id like to quickly run through the
schedule of the days activities with you. In the
first part of our tour, you will get a look at the
brand new baby tiger that was born yesterday.
Her name is Sarah, named after her
caretaker, and she is the cutest thing you will
ever see. We will arrive just in time for her
feeding. Then, you will be guided through our
recently-refurbished aviary to view our famous
collection of exotic tropical birds. After that, we
will stop for lunch at the food court. In the
afternoon, you will be free to roam around the
zoo on your own. Does anybody have any
questions?

A special report just in. We have several travel
advisories in effect today. The snowstorm that
hit our city last night is causing traffic chaos this
morning. Up to 100 centimeters of snow has
come down so far and it does not look like it is
going to stop anytime soon. An airport official
has told reporters that all planes departing and
landing have stopped. Most of the schools in
the city have also closed for the day as well. It
is advised that you stay indoors today as most
of the highways are jammed with cars. This has
been J im Brown. Stay tuned as we will bring
you more updates in one hour. Now, back to
our scheduled program.
Welcome everyone to this years annual House
and Home Show. We are proud to announce
that this years show will be the biggest ever
held in this state. There will be one hundred
and fifty exhibitors, displaying more than two
thousand different home products. You will find
exciting, innovative, practical, artistic, and
beautiful designs of products ranging from
mansions built in stone to houses made with
bottle-openers. In the architectural section, you
can find stunning models of the latest in home
designs, including houses, apartments, and
villas. The furniture section includes both the
most modern new modular designs and a range
of genuine antiques. And thats not all. We also
have extensive displays of dinnerware,
cookware and lighting. So lets begin this
spectacular event.
Good morning and welcome to our monthly
breakfast meeting. I know many of you have
difficulty getting up that extra bit early, but in my
view, this is a really worthwhile exercise. And
Im sure youll agree that the quality of the
coffee and food on offer makes up for the
inconvenience of getting up early. I want to start
today with a very pleasing news item. One of
our engineers, Michael Kleinsfeld, has won an
award for innovation in the field of computer
security system design. This is very exciting.
Michael will be featured in an article in
Computer Magazine next month, and of course
will gain valuable publicity. Michael will be
addressing our meeting a little later. Now, does
anyone have any business they would like to
add to the agenda?

Hello, this is a message for Nancy Brown. Ms.
Brown, this is Shelly Williams of Balcombe
South Financing. I am calling to let you know
that I have been working to process your loan
application and I realized that I have not yet
received a couple of documents I had asked for
earlier this week. It is very important that I get
those documents by the end of today. My boss
will be taking his vacation starting next week
and if I dont get those documents on his desk
before the end of tomorrow, your application will
not be looked at for at least two weeks.
Therefore, would you please call me back at my
office as soon as jou get this message? I will
be here until 5today. Thank you.
Im glad to see that everyone is present today.
The reason why I have called you here today is
to introduce our new international relations
manager, J ason Hegay. Mr. Hegay had worked
for Islington Incorporated for four years before
moving onto Harrison Limited for six years. Mr.
Hegay brings with him ten years of experience
in international business and fills the gap that
we so desperately need in building relationships
with other foreign corporations. During his
tenure at his last two companies, Mr. Hegay
had lived in Europe, North America and Asia
and is fluent in five languages. This of course is
going to be a great asset in our goal to reach
into other parts of the world. Now, would
everyone please make Mr. Hegay feel at home
here and welcome him to our company?

Sandy, if youre not busy tonight, how about
checking out a movie at the mall?

down to the Arts Center in the afternoon.
Would it be okay if we meet at the theater?
Okay. The movie starts at 7, so why dont
we get together around 6:30.
W-. Actually, lets make for 6:15. That way we
can get a quick bite to eat before the movie
starts.
I saw the For-Rent sign on your lobby
window. Can you tell me how much the rent
is here?
Well, our units range from 900 to 1,100
dollars a month. However, there is only a
two-bedroom unit on the fifth floor left. All
the one-bedroom apartments have been
rented out.
Thats perfect. I was looking for a two-
bedroom apartment. Would you mind
showing me the place now?
No problem. Let me just get the key from
my apartment.
Are you done making the centerpiece yet?
w- Yes, I got it done a few minutes ago and
placed it on the table over there. Do you
want me to get it for you?
No, but what I need you to do for me is to
go downstairs to the basement and get me
two buckets of roses. The customer just
called and said she wants to use roses
instead of these carnations for her party.
Oh, is that right? I thought she was quite
insistent on using the carnations. I wonder
why she changed her mind.
Have you heard? Richard won his medical
malpractice case in court today.
Yes, isnt that great? I was talking to him
last night and he was very unclear of how
his case would go. I am so happy to hear
that he won.
Well, hes a great lawyer and he has a
great reputation. Hey, why dont we
celebrate by taking him to that new Greek
restaurant tonight?
Actually, that sounds like a great idea. Why
dont I just finish faxing these documents to
my client and come by your office right after
I am done here?
Mr. Lewis, I just finished changing the tires
on the jeep.
M2: Thats great, Rob. Now, could you change
the oil in the van over there? The owner
called and said he will be coming to pick it
up in one hour.
All right, but dont you have to replace the
fender on the black sports car first? I
thought that was an urgent job as well.
Oh, right. Thanks for reminding me. Ill get
to that right after I am done fixing the air-
conditioner of this sedan.
m. Excuse me. I am here to get these pair of
pants exchanged because they are a bit too
tight for me.
Of course. May I see your receipt, please?
m Actually, I dont have one because I got
them as a gift the other day.
Im terribly sorry, but I cant give you an
exchange without the receipt. Its store
policy. Why dont you get the receipt from
your friend and come back at another time?
w Are you okay? You look really worn out.
m Ill be fine. I just feel a little tired because I
stayed up really late last night preparing for
todays speech. There were just so many
numbers to look at.
Ah, yes. Thats right. You are due to give a
speech about the sales projection for next
year later, arent you? How does next
LC -s T ^IL
years projection look, anyway?
Well, it doesnt look too good with the
inflation rate going up as it is now. I thought
about ways to improve our sales but I cant
seem to come up with anything really good.
Ill get more into details later but things
dont look so positive at this time.

me, but we met at a marketing seminar in
Toronto last March.
Ah, yes. I remember you. Your name is

All the tables are set and the food has been
prepared. We just need for the guests to
arrive. Is there anything else you want me
to do?
w: Yes, could you go into the kitchen and see
if we have enough drinks in the fridge? I
just got a call from the client and he said
that about 10 more people are coming after
dinner has been served.
M: Ill go and take a look, but I am pretty sure
that there arent enough. Should I call
Sarah to send more drinks if there arent
enough?
Yes, please do that. And could you also ask
J oe to bring some more chairs from the

Now, to the entertainment news. Beginning this
week, Lady Day will be celebrating its 10th
anniversary at the Imperial Six Theater. This
classic musical has touched the hearts of
thousands with its moving story about an
orphaned boy who grows up to be the
wealthiest businessman in the city. The shows
success is due mainly to the writer of the
musical. However, the always modest J ohn

shows success is the brilliant performance of
the actors who bring his story to life. Perhaps
the shows real success is a pleasant mixture of
both great writing and skilled acting. To
celebrate the anniversary of the show, all ticket

they will make an official statement later today,
but the rumor is that the labor union was
guaranteed a 10% wage hike, with increased
security measures at the factory. This,

Good morning and welcome to the fifth career

have set up booths to help you with your career
choices. Simply walk up to the booth you are
interested in and speak to the person standing
behind the table to get the information you need
for the job you want to apply to. And if you need
help smoothing out your resume and cover
letter, a special workshop at 10 this morning will

May I have your attention for a minute? This is
an announcement to let you know that the

wrong with it. However, I am really busy
today and I wont be able to look at it until
tomorrow morning.
Oh, thats not very good. Im leaving for a
camping trip early tomorrow morning and I
want to take it with me. I guess I'll have to
take it to another place.
Well, there is another repair shop across
the road and they do good work. Why dont
you take it there?
According to your test results, you are in
fine health, Mr. Thompson.
Excellent. I was a bit concerned because I
just got a new job and it requires me to do a
lot of traveling overseas. Could you sign
this form for my work?
Of course. J ust leave it with the receptionist
and I will take care of it during my break
today.
Thank you. Ill drop by after work to pick it up.
Do you have any idea what Mr. Walton is
going to make his presentation on today?
w: He will be talking about online shopping
trends.
Really? I thought he was going to discuss
ways to keep customers satisfied. Do you
think I can attend the presentation?
w Of course. J ust go to the Marketing
Department and sign your name on the
attendance list. By the way, the
presentation starts in 15 minutes and they
will be serving lunch afterwards.
Im glad you asked me to dinner tonight.
The food in this place is excellent.
I know. I came here with the boss after the
conference last Friday and I was really
impressed. I couldnt wait to bring you here.
Well, it looks like I will be coming here quite
often. By the way, these cakes on the
dessert menu look irresistible. I think I am
going to order one.
Sure, order anything you want. I have the
corporate card today. The boss gave it to
me this morning and told me to take you
out to a nice meal. Its for the great work
you did last week.
Is there anything else youd like to know?
Well, as you can see in my resume I did a
lot of work designing web pages. I am
wondering if I will be doing any of that here
if I am hired.
Well, the position you applied for doesnt
involve any design work. However, I can
see that you do have quite a lot of
experience in that field. Let me talk to the
Graphic Design Department manager and
see if he is looking for a designer,
w Thank you. I look forward to hearing from
you.
w Ive been having some problems with my
Internet access this morning. Could you
take a look at it for me?
Well, we are upgrading our main server this
morning and the Internet wont be working
until after lunch. Didnt you get an e-mail
last night about this?
w. I was in Bangkok on a business trip and
didnt get back until late last night. I didnt
get a chance to check.
I see. The work will most likely finish around
12:30. Try again after youve had lunch. Im
sure that it will be working by then.
Isnt the construction of the road supposed
to end soon?
w I heard the work is running behind schedule.
The completion date has been pushed back
to next month, apparently.
m Thats terrible. I thought I was finally going
to be able to work in peace. I cant stand

w: Well, youre going to have to bear with it a
bit longer. After all, there isnt much that we
can do at this point. Plus, when the work is
done, we will get direct access to the
highway and our commute will get a lot
easier. I think the wait is going to be well
worth it.

Hi, Sophie. This is J en from the Human
Resources Department. I was wondering if you
would be interested in having dinner around six
oclock tonight. Mary, from the Marketing
Department, and Tina, from the Accounting
Department, want to get together because it's
Marys first anniversary here. We are planning
on having dinner at Georges and maybe catch
a show at the mall. If you are interested, let me
know soon, okay? By the way, I drove to work
today and if youd like a lift to the restaurant, you
are welcome to come with me. Call me. Bye.
Ive called you all here because I have just
received some great news about one of our
dancers. Our leading ballerina, J ulie Myers, has
just been selected by the Canadian National
Ballet for a position there. This is great because
the Canadian National Ballet is one of the
places J ulie really wanted to go to. On the other
hand, we will all be very sad to lose her, and I
dont know how we are going to replace her.
Anyway, lets all give her our support and let
her know how proud we are of the great news.
Now, to celebrate this event, we will be
attending a special dinner this evening at La
Taverna restaurant. Ill see you all there tonight.
This is J udy Costas with a few words about our
sponsor of the show. Today, our featured
sponsor is Scissors Hair Salon. Listen carefully

Brighton Sailing Club has not only made it into
the finals, but won the Equinox Cup in brilliant

Hello, this is Brian at Nippon Motors. Ms.
Brown, you purchased a new sedan from us in
J anuary and its time now for its first service
and safety check. It is our policy here at Nippon
Motors to service all new vehicles after three
months to check and see that everything is in
order. This will take only one hour and it is also
a warranty requirement. What I am trying to say
is that if you dont bring your car in, then your
twenty-four-month warranty will no longer be
valid. This may be a bit of a hassle since your
car is running very nicely. However, I strongly
suggest that you take the time to come in for
the check-up. Anyway, please call us at 755-
5772 to make an appointment. Thank you and
have a good day.

Welcome to the Middle Park Primary School
Open Night. Im J ack White, president of the
Parent-Teacher Association. This evening you
will all have a chance to get to know all the
teachers, other parents and your representatives
in the Parent-Teacher Association. There are
some snacks and drinks at the back of the room,
so please help yourself as you mingle. At 8
oclock, you will get a tour of the classrooms
where your children spend most of the day.
During the tour, if you have any questions,
please dont hesitate to ask the teacher. Thank
you and we hope you have a wonderful evening.
All winter trekkers should be aware of the
following simple but vital rules. Failure to observe
them can result in a fatal accident. Never go
hiking on any of the National Park trails alone.
You can easily hurt yourself and not be able to
walk safely. Always let relatives and park
authorities know when you will start trekking,
where you are going, and how long you expect
to be away. Take a good map with you, and be
familiar with the layout of the park. You should
also carry a watch, so that you know how long
you have been walking and when night will fall.
Its also a good idea to take a mobile phone.
Finally, take some extra clothing in case the
weather changes, as well as plenty of snack
foods. You will enjoy your hike all the more by
following this good advice. See you at the park!

Welcome, everyone, to our company's new
employee orientation session. First of all, I would
like to congratulate you for passing a series of
interview sessions to get here. I know that our
hiring process is rather tough and I can truly say
that all of you have done a great job. Now, to
begin our session, I would like to ask you to
open the packet you received this morning. In it,
you will find todays schedule. I'd like to point out
that the workshop scheduled to begin after lunch
at 1 oclock will be delayed until 3 oclock.
Instead, the vice-president will be giving a talk
about the history of our company at that time.
Now, lets get started with the days agenda. The
first thing on our list is an introductory speech by
the president of our company. Kindly put your
hands together for Mr. Sam Stone, please.
A spokesman for the City Council announced
today that a feasibility study into the Wick Point
to South Ward traffic tunnel will begin next
month. The study was approved in last nights
Council meeting by a small majority, and will be
undertaken by the Councils engineering
department. The project, if it goes ahead, will
involve the construction of the longest
underwater tunnel in Southeast Asia. Initial
estimates by some lobby groups put the
construction costs at more than $20 billion.
Environmental groups have maintained a strong
opposition to the tunnel, due to its potential
environmental effects on Wick Point. Pro-tunnel
lobby groups, however, believe that it is the
most environmentally-friendly solution to the
citys severe traffic congestion.
I have called you here today to talk to you about
some of the changes that will take place in our
store. These changes will go into effect starting
next Monday. First, we have new uniforms. You
can pick up your new white shirt and blue pants
as you leave work this evening. You are to have
them on at all times while at work. You will also
be assigned a nametag, which must be worn at
all times. Next, there is the issue of shift work.
There have been too many of you who change
shifts with others without letting management
know. This has resulted in mistakes occurring in
your pay. From now on, you will not change
your shift with anyone without getting written
authorization from the store manager first.
Lastly, your request for a salary increase has
been approved. You will get a five percent raise
starting next month.

said he cant get out here until 2 oclock.
Hes apparently really busy running around
to different places.
Michelle, have you tried the food at the little
diner across the road?
No, but Ive been meaning to go there. I
heard from J ohn that the food is quite
delicious and the price is very reasonable.
I know. Thats why J ane and I are thinking
of going there tomorrow. Would you like to
come?
Tomorrow? I cant. I have to go to the head
office and I wont be here. Im thinking of
packing my lunch since I dont know anyone
there. I hate eating alone in a restaurant.
w Dont you think we should hire some part-
time workers? The workload is getting to be
too much for everyone.
Well, Ive been thinking about that too but I
am not sure if we can afford to hire anyone
at this time. I was thinking of talking to the
personnel manager at lunch today to see if
we have enough money in our budget to
hire some part-time help.
Ms. Webster is not here right now. She left
earlier to go to her dentist.
I see. I guess Ill give her a call later and set
up a meeting with her for tomorrow morning
then.
Hello, my name is Brenda J ohnson with the
Fairweather Store. I am calling to place an
order of the fabric you and I talked about
yesterday.
Youve made a wonderful choice, Ms.
J ohnson. As I told you yesterday, the fabric
is at 30% off the regular price for the time
being and you wont get a price like this
anywhere.

Yes, I think so, too. I wasnt so sure
yesterday because we still have plenty of
fabric left in our store. However, after
talking to some of my staff, I realized that
we wont be getting a price like this ever.
I agree with you. Ill have one of our
delivery people take the fabric to your place
sometime this week.
Karen, do you know if there is a direct bus
from the Eaton Center to our office?
I dont think there is one. However, bus 12
from the Clinton Public School passes by
here. Youll have to walk about 10 minutes
from the Eaton Center to take it. Why do
you ask?
Oh, I have to pick up something for Mr.
Curtis there tomorrow morning.
If thats the case, why dont you ask Cindy
to pick you up? She lives a minute away
from the shopping center.
Well, how was the seminar yesterday? Were
you able to get some new information?
Actually, I couldnt go because I had to
show Mr. Fujimoto around the warehouse.
He flew in from J apan early yesterday
morning.
Oh, I didnt know about this. I was away
from the office and didnt come back to
work. Where is he today?
Hes with Mr. Vincent. They went to the
factory to check out the operations there.
Sharon, how is the design coming along?
Its going right according to schedule. In
fact, I might be able to finish a few days
early and show it to you within the next
couple of days.
Oh, thats a relief. I just got a call from our
client and he wants us to show him the
design next Monday. He was quite insistent
on seeing it then,
w: Oh, that will be fine. We will definitely have
it finished by Wednesday. Ill need to look
i
over it to see that everything is ready so Ill
get it to you by either Thursday night or the
first thing Friday morning.
When do you suppose we will be able to
take our holidays?
I would most likely think it wont be until
after we finish the project we are working
on. My guess is that itll be around the end
of August.
m Thats what I thought. I was hoping to get
some time off in J uly because my sister will
be coming then. She received a scholarship
offer from a university here and shes
coming to look around for a week.

Terrance J ones for admission to our law school.
He had stated in his application that he worked
for you as a paralegal. We were wondering if
you could confirm this fact. If so, could you
provide us with a statement on his performance,
his character and his relations with his
coworkers? We, at Trinity Law, are not just

Welcome to our 3rd annual management
training session. At the end of each year we
invite managers from different locations all over
the state to spend the weekend together. The
purpose of these sessions is to go over our
company vision and mission statements, and
The Consumer Price Index shows that
consumer spending and consumer purchasing
power has decreased for the last six months
and has steadily decreased for the last two
years. However, leading economists believe the
bottom is leveling out and in the next year or
two the economy should start picking up again.
For this reason, the President has been
criticized as of late for not taking strong enough
measures to stimulate the economy.
Nonetheless, with fuel prices at its highest
levels ever and the dollar losing its strength
against the euro and other international
currencies, there arent enough measures for
the President to take at the moment to stimulate
the economy into a healthy state.

you tell me where I can get an umbrella at
this hotel? I want to pick one up before the
tour bus arrives at 9:30.

hurry, theres a store down the road that
sells them.
Its 8:30 now. I think Ill just go and have
breakfast at the hotel restaurant first. I dont
feel like walking out in this rain.
M: Good morning, Wendy. Do you have the
J ohnson file?

year before going to the workshop.
However, I learned a lot and I was very

a table for this evening?
m- My secretary booked it for me this morning.
Maybe check under Williams. My full
name is J ohn Williams.

Anyway, I can see that youve requested a
table near the window. If you follow me, Ill
take you to your table now.
w: Good afternoon, Mr, Thomas. This is Lisa
from Home Office Depot. I understand that

be possible to get them on Thursday?

Monday, then.
Yes, I guess that will have to do.

tonight?
We are usually open until 8 oclock, but
were closing an hour early tonight because
of our monthly inventory check.
Oh, is that right? Hmm... I dont think I will be
able to get there on time, then. I guess Im
going to have to come down on the weekend
since I have to work late this week.
If thats the case, why dont you try using
our website? All of our products are
available online and the delivery will go out
the same day.
Rhonda just told me that a meeting has
been scheduled for all the staff members at

project. He wants our opinion on the ads
before showing them to the client. Also, at
the end of the meeting, the new general
manager is going to come in and say hello.
He is supposed to start working here as of
next Monday.

scheduled with Mr. Brown at that time. I
dont think I will be able to make it to the
meeting on time.
Well, Im sure that everyone wont mind if
you came in a little late.
Can you spare some time this afternoon to
go over the budget report? I have to make
a presentation in front of the board
members next Monday and I want to make

I have to step out of the office to see my
doctor. I have my routine six-month check
up. Can we get together tomorrow morning
instead?
Sure, that will be fine. Ill come by your
office at 9 oclock. Is that all right?
Well, lets make it for 9:30.1 always have
some work that I need to do first thing in the
morning.

Hello, and thank you for calling the desk of Larry
Patterson at J agar Industries. This message was
last updated at 11 a.m. on Tuesday May 5th. I
have been unable to make it to the office this
week because of a matter that I have to take care
of at the warehouse. However, I am checking my
messages every hour so please leave a message
and I will get back to you as soon as I can. If this
is an urgent matter, please talk to the receptionist
by pressing 0 on your phone. Leave the details
with her and she will contact me right away.
Thank you and have a nice day.
74-76 refer to t he f ol l owi ng message.
Hi, Dave. This is J ohn calling. Im sorry to bother
you at home so early in the morning but I have
an emergency situation here at the restaurant.
Rita, our cook, is sick and wont be able to come
to work this morning. Susie also called and said
she cant wait on tables today. She apparently
has caught a bad cold. Anyway, I think I can
handle the morning rush until 7 a.m. but after
that I am really going to be shorthanded here.
Could you please call me and let me know if you
can come into work today. Thanks, please call
me as soon as you can.
Thank you for coming to todays gathering. In a
minute, we will be announcing the name of the
winner of our automotive design. As you know,
we had a designer from thirty different
companies around the world each submit a
design proposal. I have to tell you that we
received some excellent designs and it was
very difficult to choose a winner. However, the
winning design caught our attention with its
detailed and innovative concept. I am happy to
say that the design is going to put us one step
ahead of our competitors. Now, lets all take a
look to our left where Leslie is standing. She is
going to unveil the design after the winning
designer comes onto the stage.
Good morning. As you may have heard already,
Mr. J ohnson will be leaving Thompson
Incorporated at the end of this year. He has
decided to step down from his position as the
general manager and spend more time with his
family. Anyway, the reason you have been
asked to show up today is because Mr. J ohnson
believes that you are the most qualified people
to be his successor. However, I dont want you
to automatically think that any one of you will be
guaranteed of the job. There will be three
rounds of interviews that each one of you will go
through on three different dates. Of course,
prospective candidates from outside the
company will also be interviewed for the
position. However, chances are that we will
probably pick one of you, since our intention is
to hire within the company. Anyway, good luck
to you all and may the best person win.
Good morning. I would like to thank everyone for
coming today in spite of your tremendously busy
schedules. As you have been informed
222 Economy LC 1000
www.nhantriviet.com
throughout the year, the company has wanted to
start sending weekly newsletters to our clients for
a while now. We have decided on the layout and
how we are going to divide up the newsletter, but
we have not yet decided on who will be
responsible for handling this task. Anyway, Id like
to say that after interviewing many candidates,
we have finally found the person weve been
looking for. Her name is Linda Dankus. Linda has
been the editor for an independent news agency
for the last ten years. She brings with her a
wealth of knowledge and experience. She will
officially join us next Monday as the new chief
editor of our company.
Is your old appliance giving you problems?
Having trouble deciding whether to throw it out
or try fixing it? Well, think no more and bring
your old appliances to the Homecare Center
today. We here at the Homecare will buy your
old appliances and give you brand-new ones at
prices you wont believe. Youll get 50% off the
purchase of a new appliance just by bringing in
your old one. Thats right. Thats half the price of
our original price! So, if you have an appliance
that is giving you problems, come down to the
Homecare Center and you can walk home with
a brand-new appliance at an unbelievable price.
message.
Good afternoon, Phil. Its Don Daniels. Im sorry
but I was in a meeting and couldnt answer your
call earlier. I just checked your message and I
understand that you would like to get together
with me this week to go over the sales report for
the month of J une. That would be fine, but you
didnt specify which day youd like to get together.
I'm okay anytime this week, except on
Wednesday. Ill be out of the office all day that
day. Anyway, could you call me back and let me
know which day would be most convenient for
you? Ill be leaving the office at 5 oclock today,
so call me before then. Thanks.
One last thing I want to mention before we end
todays meeting is to let you know that we will
be having a party to celebrate the launch of our
latest line of cosmetics. Everyone is invited and
those who are planning to attend are asked to
get in touch with Wendy by the end of today.
Also, do let her know if you will be bringing your
spouse to the party because we need to let the
catering service know how many people will be
attending. The party will take place in the
ground floor reception hall at the Prince Hotel
this Friday at 6 p.m. If anyone needs directions,
take a look at our website this afternoon, as Ill
post the map before lunch today. I do hope all
of you will be able to make it.

being held at the Hillside Hotel near the airport.
Immediately after that, you have to leave for the

vice-president. He is going to meet you there.
Before we begin our weekly meeting this
morning, the building maintenance department
has asked me to make an announcement
regarding a paint job that will take place in the
first floor lobby next Monday. When you arrive at
work on Monday, please enter through the
backdoor, as you will not be able to use the front
doors. The painting schedule for the rest of the
building will be posted on the bulletin board later
this afternoon. Id like to apologize for this
inconvenience, but we are trying to make our
workplace look better. Anyway, lets get back to
our days agenda and start the days meeting by
first going over our sales chart for this week.
