Questions 1 - 3 refer to the following conversation:
Man: Hey Natalie. George Chapman is coming to work in our office next
Monday. He’s just moved here from Rupert Corporation. Did you know him
personally?
Woman: Hi Kevin. Yes, I know him actually from my previous job. He was a
supervisor in my old company but not my direct boss.
Man: He seems very qualified, I’ve heard a lot of good things about his
achievements as a leader of the marketing group. I wonder what it will be like
to work with him.
Woman: He is talented, this is true. But I must warn you, from what I
remember he is tough, and everyone in our old office knew that when it
comes to the job at hand, George is focused and serious.

Questions 4 - 6 refer to the following conversation:

Man: Hello, Smith Repair Company, John speaking, how can I help you?
Woman: Hi, I’m calling because my office fax machine is broken. I need
someone to come and fix it as soon as possible. I need to send some
important documents this afternoon.
Man: Ok, well, one of our technicians is nearby dealing with another client, I
can get him to come over when he’s finished. Is two o’clock ok? What is your
address?
Woman: Great! We are located at 87 Spring Street. Thank-you.

Questions 7 - 9 refer to the following conversation:

Man: Hi Liz, are you ready for the conference in Boston next Thursday? I’m
not sure which flight to book. It’s cheaper to fly on Wednesday morning, but
I’m thinking of going on Tuesday afternoon so I can rest Wednesday before
the meetings.
Woman: Hi Jack, yes, I’m just booking flights now. Flying on Tuesday sounds
like a good idea. Regardless, we must make sure to book early, or there won’t
be any flights at all!
Man: Yes, you’re right. Thanks, I’ll book a flight on that day.
Woman: Ok, so I’ll see you at 5 at my house. Then we’ll take the bus to the
airport.

Questions 10 - 12 refer to the following conversation:

Man: I wish I could go to the whole film festival next Saturday, but I have an
important meeting scheduled that morning. Where will you be around 12pm
on Saturday?
Woman: I’m not sure. How about we arrange to meet at the café at the
entrance of the festival? I looked at the schedule, and I’m mainly interested in
seeing the introduction in the morning.
Man: Sounds good but what about lunch?
Woman: We can have a quick bite to eat when we see each other at the café,
before going in and seeing the films.

Questions 13 - 15 refer to the following conversation:

Man: Have you looked at our pre-orders for the summer? Our business is
growing! We may need more helping hands.
Woman: Yes, that might be a good idea. But what are we doing to find the
right candidates? I wonder if we should have a stall at the job fair at the local
University?
Man: Hmm… that used to work, but all our employees from the job fairs in
the past were students who only stayed for a few months. I want people who
will stay with us long term. Maybe we should hire a recruiting firm then to
help.
Woman: Ok, I’ll put in a call and get them to start looking for future
employees for us.

Questions 16 - 18 refer to the following conversation:

Woman: Excuse me, I’m looking for a book but I can’t find it. Malpass,
Eric. He’s a great writer from the last century. The publishers have just put
out a new collection of his work.
Man: Ok, let me look in the database on my computer to see if we have
it. What does he write about?
Woman: Funny stories about family life in England.
Man: That sounds like it could be a good read. We actually have his latest
book in stock. You will be able to find it on the shelf in aisle 14. Follow me,
and I’ll show you.

Questions 19 - 21 refer to the following conversation:

Woman: Hello, Delta Apartments here. How can I help you?
Man: Hello, I’m calling about an apartment I saw being advertised by your
company in the newspaper. I was wondering if you could confirm that it was
indeed a two bedroom apartment, not just a two room apartment.
Woman: Yes it is. But I’m afraid that it has recently been leased. May I
suggest another similar listing in the same building? Are you free this
afternoon? You can meet me at 4pm outside the building and I’ll show you
around.
Man: Ok, thanks! Yes, I'd better come and see it right away, before someone
snatches it up.

Questions 22 - 24 refer to the following conversation:

Woman: Hello, TechSolutions? I’m calling from the ABC corporation because
the internet connection in my office is giving us some trouble. Could someone
come by and help us fix it?
Man: Can you please describe the problem to me? I may be able to help you
out over the phone and save you some time, and money!
Woman: Oh thanks! Well, the issue is, some of our computers are able to
connect to the internet but some are not. We’re on Wifi you see.
Man: Ah, yes, that may need someone to tinker with the box. I’ll send
someone over soon. Let me put you through to our reception and they’ll take
your details and send someone out as soon as possible.
Questions 25 - 27 refer to the following conversation:
Man: Hello, I want to send my wife some flowers, how much might that cost
me?
Woman: Well sir, it depends on the size of the bunch. A popular choice
amongst our married clients is a dozen roses. They are delivered with a card
for $30.
Man: Hmm, I think roses are nice. Can I pay by card? I only have $20 in cash
on me.
Woman: Oh I’m afraid our card machine isn’t working today. But don’t worry!
We also have smaller and cheaper bunches of peonies which cost only $12 to
deliver.

Questions 28 - 30 refer to the following conversation:

Woman: Hey, Eric, can you come into my office? It’s urgent. I’ve invited the
Conrad Company to come here for another meeting.
Man: But we just had a meeting a few days ago. Why are they coming to the
office again?
Woman: I’ve heard that Smith Corporation is trying to expand their business
vastly. So, we need to work with our partners right now to compete with
them. You should bring me a fresh proposal, power-point presentation, and
put it all together for Friday!
Man: OK. I’ll get things ready to send you by this afternoon.
