M-Au: I agree. But we should try to get a new one put in as soon as possible, or we might have to shut
down that assembly line.
W-Am: OK, I'll call the company that supplies that equipment
M-Cn: Yes, see how soon we can get it installed.

106
[10-12]
M-Am: Hey, Vicki. Have you had any problems using your computer this morning? I can't log on to
mine.
W-Am: Our passwords expired last night. You have to go to the technical services office to have a new
one set up.
M-Am: OK... that's down on the first floor by the machine room, right?
W-Am: It's on the first floor, but you need to turn left at the reception desk and go all the way down that
hallway. It's right next to the security office.
[13-15]
W-Br: Have you seen the long power cord? I need it to set up my laptop for the presentation for the
vice president
M-Cn: I haven't seen that long cable for a while. All we've got are two very short cords. Do you think
we should postpone the meeting?
W-Br: No, we can't do that. Why don't we print the presentation, and the vice president can look at
everything on paper.
[16-18]
W-Am: Nathan, do you have time this afternoon around two or three o'clock? l'd like to talk to you
about my project proposal-my idea for a new travel app.
M-Au: Yes, about the app – I read your report last week, and I was impressed with your idea.
Unfortunately, this week is really busy. I have client meetings all day today, and every afternoon the rest
of the week. What about Friday at 10 o'clock?
W-Am: I can wait until next week.
M-Au: Great. That works for me
[19-21]
W-Am: Robert, have you received your new access card? I got mine on Friday.
M-Am Friday? I still don't have mine. I have to ask a security guard to open the door for me every
day.
W-Am: Maybe you should speak to someone in the security office about issuing you a card.
M-Am: You're right. I'll go there after lunch.

107
[22-24]
M-Cn: Hi. I just noticed they started some construction work in the lobby. Do you know what that's all
about?
W-Am: I was going to ask about that too. Um, our payment processing team was just moved here to
headquarters. Maybe it's related to that.
W-Br: No, it's just regular renovation work-to improve the lobby's overall appearance.
M-Cn: Oh, OK.... It was time for something like that.
W-Br: I'll say. I heard the crews will even put up antique photos showing the company's foundation
ceremony-more than a century ago.
W-Am: It's amazing we've been in business for so long. We have quite a heritage.
[25-27]
W-Br: Hi, Jim. I hear you're going to the jazz concert on Friday. Can I ask you a favor?
M-Cn: Sure, what do you need?
W-Br: A few of us from the graphics department are also attending the concert, but we have a meeting
until six o'clock on Friday. Since there are no assigned seats, we were wondering if you could save a
few places for us.
M-Cn: That shouldn't be a problem. I don't have any meetings on Friday afternoon, so I plan to get there
when the doors open. How many should I reserve?
W-Br: Hmm... I'm not sure yet if Eduardo is joining us. Why don't I send him an e-mail right now, and I'll
let you know how many seats to save
[28-30]
W-Br: I hear that we've had some unhappy customers recently.
M-Cn: Yes, I'm afraid that's true. In fact, I've just been talking with one of them
W-Br: Oh. Well, uh, what did the customer say?
M-Cn: She wasn't at all happy. Our driver picked her up on time, but there was heavy traffic on the
way to the airport, and she nearly missed her flight.
W-Br: Mmm. We should probably take a look at roadwork scheduled in the area. It might be affecting
traffic more than we realized.
M-Cn: Right, And we have some other issues to consider as well. Look at the rest of these comments-
we'll need to decide what to do.

M-Cn: Hi, I'm with Spellman Technologies, and I'm calling to thank you and your company
for the great job you did catering for our business luncheon last week.
W-Br: Oh, don't thank me. Your event was planned by my colleague, Nadia. I'm sure she'll
be happy to hear that you were pleased.
M-Cn: If Nadia's in the office, l'd like to tell her myself.
W-Br: Actually, she's out today. But I can put you through to her voice mail so that you can
leave her a message.

M-Cn: Guess what? The IT team just completed the upgrades to our company Web site. The
site even has a new chat forum for employees.
W-Br: Ah, it's up and running already?... how does it look?
M-Cn: It looks great. From the forum I noticed ... there's a lot of interest in our upcoming
workshops. Won't we need more space? We could rent a reception room, or...
W-Br: We'll be OK. I'll stream the workshop live in additional meeting rooms. That way,
everyone can attend.
M-Cn: Great idea.
W-Br: Now, uh... We'll have to make a change to the schedule. The presenter of the last
workshop said he needs more time. He’ll go to 3:30.
[28 30]
M-Cn: Jane, because the sales team you led had such good results in June, I want to ask your
advice about an important decision I need to make.
W-Am: Of course, Mr. Akamu. What can I help you with?
M-Cn: Next year, to launch our new line of software, we're starting another sales team. We
want one of the salespeople from your team to lead it. Can you recommend anyone?
W-Am: Certainly. If you look at my team member's results, you might think Marius is the best
choice. But the person with the lowest sales did a great job helping the others on the team.
She's the one to lead your new team.

thirty. The cheapest fare is eighty-five pounds.
M-Au: OK, l'd like to buy that ticket, please. l'd also like to find out whether there's room

for me? I can give you the item number.

put me over the daily amount he recommended. That's more than 30 grams!
W-Br: In that case, I'd suggest buying a plain version of this yogurt and adding your own
fresh fruit.

M-Au: I got a bill from the electric company in the mail today. It's so expensive!
W-Am: Mine is too. I guess that's because I've been using the air conditioner so much in this
hot weather.
M-Au: So have I, but I still don't think I should have been billed this much. Maybe I should call
the electric company and find out if the rates have gone up.
W-Am: That's a good idea. They're very responsive by phone. Let me know what they tell you.
[4 6]
W-Am: Do you want to try lunch at the new restaurant near the ice cream shop?
M-Br: Oh, I went there last week and I wasn't very impressed. There were too many people and
there wasn't enough space between the tables.
W-Am: Really? That's too bad. What do you want to do?
M-Br: Well, let's order sandwiches and take them to the park since it's a beautiful day to sit
outside.
[7-9]
M-Cn: Good afternoon, Jacobson Bank. This is Leo. How can I help you?
W-Br: Hi. Yes, there's a mistake on my credit card bill this month. I spent $5, but I was
charged $50.
M-Cn: I'm sorry, this is the business loan department. For your inquiry you will need to
speak to someone from credit card transactions. Please hold while l transfer your call.
W-Br: No problem.
M-Au: Thank you for calling card services. My name is Hank. How may I help you?
W-Br: Hi. I would like to report a mistake on my credit card statement.
M-Au: Sure, I can help with that. First, I need the last four digits of your credit card please.
W-Br: One second... let me get it...

[10-12]
M-Au: I was here for last night's performance, and I think I left my jacket on the back of
my seat. I was sitting in the last row of the theater. Do you know if anyone's turned it in?
W-Br: l'll have to check. Can you describe what the jacket looked like?
M-Au: It's dark blue and has a pocket on the left side.
W-Br: Let me go and ask the manager who was on duty last night. He might have seen it. I'll
be back in a few minutes
[13-15]
M-Au: Hi, Ms. Long. This is Jacob from the landscaping company. I'm afraid we won't be able to
start working on your garden tomorrow. The weather report's showing that there'll be heavy
rain.
W-Am: Well, you know I'm going to be out of town for two weeks starting this Thursday. I
wanted to give you a key to the gate, so you'd be able to keep working while I'm gone.
M-Au: OK. Then what if I come by tomorrow anyway, just to pick up the key?
W-Am: If you wouldn't mind. I'll be at home until ten- to thirty in the morning.
[16-18]
M-Cn: Excuse me-l'm interested in becoming a member of this fitness center, but I have a
question: What does the membership fee include?

you have time now, I can show you around the facility.
M-Cn: Thanks, but I'm on my lunch break, and I have to get back to the office-but could I have a
tour tomorrow morning, before work?
W-Am: Of course-but if you'd like to talk to some curent members about the services we offer,
l'd recommend that you come back after work today, since evenings are the busiest time
around here.

M-Au: Thanks for calling Hokkaido Electronics. What can I help you with today?
W-Br: Hi, I'm having trouble with my printer. The problem is, um, every time try to print a
document on both sides of the paper, the paper gets stuck in the machine.
M-Au: I'm sorry to hear that. Unfortunately we can't offer technical support over the phone.
Do you have the user manual? Otherwise you'll need to bring your printer to a store so a
licensed technician can look at it.
W-Br: The manual wasn't helpful, so I guess I’ll bring it back to the store this afternoon.
Thanks anyways.
[22-24]
W-Am: Thank you for calling the Kim Investment Group. This is Clara Jones. How may I help
you?
M-Am: Hello, my name is Fred Kane, and I'm calling from the Clearsea Electronics Company. I’d
like to transfer ten thousand dollars from our short-term savings account to our long-
term account
W-Am: No problem, sir. What's the account number that you're transferring from?
M-Am: The account number is 67843. Oh, before I forget-we don't want this transaction to
happen right away. We'd like to schedule it for March 31.
[25-27]
W-Am: Hi, l'd like to have this dress cleaned. I'm going to a conference at the end of this
week, and I'd like to take it with me. Oh, and... can you tell me how much it'll cost?
M-Cn: Let me take a look... it's going to be $12.
W-Am: Oh, that much? Your sign out front says dresses can be cleaned from 7 dollars and up.
M-Cn: Well yes, but it's the material the dress is made of. We have to use special cleaning
products to make sure we don't damage the fabric.
W-Am OK
M-Cn: I can rush the service and have it to you by Wednesday evening. Does that work?

160
[28 – 30]
M-Cn: Excuse me, I think there’s a mistake on our bill. It says this dish cost 12 dollars, but the
sign outside the restaurant says it's only 9 dollars today.
W-Am: I'm sorry about that. We didn't update our computer billing system to show the
discount. When you pay, though, the cashier will give you the promotional price.
M-Cn: OK. I see. Also, since the service was great, I'd like to leave some extra money for the
server, but I don't have any cash. Can I tip if I use a credit card?
W-Am: Certainly. Just tell that to the cashier, and he'll add it to the bill.

This is the last stop on the tour, and to your left, you'll
notice a building that looks a little unusual compared with the
buildings around it. This is the Jameson building, and
although it was built at about the same time as the other
buildings in the area, it looks much more modern. As you
can see, the neighboring buildings are in more traditional
styles. Construction of Jameson building took much
longer than expected due to unusual cold weather in the
winter. Work was stopped for nearly three months due to
constant ice, snow and wind. Before we finish our tour, let's
have a look inside the lobby of the Jameson building.

Hello everyone, this will be a quick meeting and I'll be

very brief. I just wanted to let you know of a change
in policy. It used to be that when a customer called to
get technical support and we couldn't solve the
problem during the call, we'd ask the customer to
call back. From now on, when you comes across that
kind of situation, you need to give the customer a case
number before hanging up. This will help us track each
customer's problem much more efficiently.

W-Br: I think I left my conference program upstairs in my room. Do you know when the first
session starts?
Am: It doesn't start until nine-thirty, so we still have time to go to the coffee shop and get
some breakfast with the rest of the group.
W-Br: That sounds like a good idea. Let me go up to my room and get my program, and I'll
meet you back here in the lobby in five minutes.
[35 - 37]
M-Am: Clara, is that really you? I didn't expect to see you here.
W-Br: Hi, Mark! I hadn't planned to come, but I couldn't miss our ten-year reunion. It's really
nice to be back on campus, isn't it?
M-Am: It is. I can't believe it's been ten years since we've seen each other. Remember the
time we won second and third prizes in the chess competition?
W-Br: Of course - that's one of my best memories from our university days.
[38 - 40]
W-Br: Hi, I'm Petra Barlow. I have an interview for a position in the accounting department
here at Houseman Incorporated.
M-Cn: Hello, Ms. Barlow. Let me check in the computer. While I do that, would you put on this
visitor's badge so it's easy to see?
W-Br: Yes, of course. I'm supposed to meet with Helen Wade in meeting room 2B. Is that right?
M-Cn: Actually, it looks like there was a last- minute change. You'll be meeting in room 12A
instead. It's down that hallway and to your left.
W-Br: Thanks a lot!

215
[41 - 43]
W-Br: Hi, Naveen. Did you have a chance to look at the draft of the new book cover?
M-Cn: Yes, I looked it over, and I think it's really good. I do have one suggestion though. I think
our publishing company's logo is very small compared to the other information. How
about making it larger think our so people can see it better?
W-Br: That's a good idea. Also, I was thinking of adding Mr. Navarro's picture next to the
information about the author. What do you think?
M-Cn: It would be nice for the readers to know what the author looks like.
W-Br: OK. I'll make those changes. Thanks for all your help.
[44 - 46]
M-Cn: Hi, I'm looking for an exhibit that I read about in a newspaper article-the Marie
Morris paintings?
W-Br: That collection is only here for three weeks, so it's in the special exhibits area on the
second floor, just past the gift shop. You'll need a ticket for it.
M-Cn: Oh, I bought one online last week. It says I should enter between two and three o'clock.
W-Br: Yes, you can only enter the exhibit at the time shown on your ticket. It's one forty-five
right now, so you'll just have to wait fifteen more minutes.
[47 - 49]
W-Am: Hello, Oscar-it's Tanya from the Cardona Museum. Unfortunately our budget's been
cut, so we'll have to delay some of the renovations we've asked you to do.
M-Au: Ah-that's too bad. Do you know which parts of the project you'd like to put off?
W-Am: Well, I know we talked about adding library wing on the west side of the building-
but that's very expensive. So, if we don't make that addition, that's all we may need to
cut.
M-Au: You know, that's not a bad idea. Let's see how much you'd save if I take the library out of
the renovation proposal. I'll e-mail you a revised estimate this afternoon.

216
[50 - 52]
W-Am: Hi, I scheduled a haircut for today... My name is Jennifer Eames.
M-Au: I'm sorry, Jennifer, I don't see your name on the list for today. Are you sure your
appointment is today, August fourth?
W-Am: Let me double-check my calendar... oh, you're right. My appointment is actually next
Wednesday, not today.
M-Au: That's all right. Let me see if one of the other hair stylists is available to fit you in
today.
[53 - 55]
W-Am: Mark, I was surprised to hear that you're planning to move. Don't you like living in
the city?
M-Br: Actually, I do. The problem is that it's very expensive to rent an apartment here. If I
live outside the city, it'll be more affordable.
W-Am: Well, there are always a lot of advertisements for apartments in the newspaper.
You should take a look at them.
M-Br: That's a good idea. My rental contract ends next month, so I need to find a new place
to live soon.
[56 - 58]
W-Am: Welcome back, Tony. How was the conference in London? Did you get a good
turnout?
M-Au: Yes, I did! My talk was rather technical, so I was worried about low attendance. But in fact,
the room was full.
W-Am: Terrific. Actually, I'm going to London myself in the summer. I'm planning to tour the city
with my family. So I was wondering-how was the hotel accommodation we booked for you
there?
M-Au: I could've stayed there forever. We should book it for next year's conference too! Oh,
which reminds me - I have to write up a report on the other speakers' presentations. I've
got to start on that right now. Let's talk more during the lunch break.

217
[59 - 61]
W-Am: Hi Ken, hi Julio! How did the art gallery opening go last weekend? Was the client
happy with the marketing materials?
M-Cn: Alfredo? He was very pleased. He said he thought the brochures we designed were one
of the main reasons for such a great turnout.
M-Au: And it's worth checking out the gallery when you have some time. I'm sure Alfredo
would be happy to give you a tour.
M-Cn: Yes, the place is so bright and modern, with a fantastic collection of local works of art.
W-Am: You know, l'm taking a vacation in that area in February. I'll make a point of visiting
him
[62 - 64]
W-Am: Hello. Can I still buy a ticket for the 9:05 train to Amsterdam? It's not too late, is it?
M-Cn: I'm sorry. The train leaves in one minute. However, there are trains at 10:50 A.M and
12:30 P.M. There are seats available on both.
W-Am: l'll take the first one. Also, I need to get some work done on my laptop during the trip.
Will there be places to charge my laptop?
M-Cn: Yes, all our seats come with individual electric sockets, so you don't have to worry
about that. Your total is eighty-five euros. Would you like to pay with cash or a credit card?
[65 - 67]
W-Am: Hi, Hank. I'm back from our Product Development Lab. They're wondering how the
taste-test surveys for our new flavors of juice drinks are coming along.
M-Cn: Oh, our market research firm sent us 30 completed surveys from another supermarket
testing site, just this morning.
W-Am: Great. Why don't you get in touch with our advertising agency? If the survey results
are positive, they can be used in our new ads.
M-Cn: Sure-so far the feedback seems good. These 30 surveys came from the Medford Park
supermarket. So we're just waiting on one more set of results.
W-Am: OK. Which supermarket still hasn't sent us their surveys?

M-Cn: That would be Burnside, but they received their product samples late. They expect to
send us all the surveys tomorrow.

218
[68 - 70]
M-Au: Hello, I'd like to register for this year's garden show. I think it'll be a good way to
market my landscaping business.
W-Br: I'm sure it will be! We have four types of vendor booths. I suggest one of the "Elite"
locations.
M-Au: Hmm, those are the most expensive, right? But I will take one of the spots directly
across from the food court. I'm guessing there'll be a lot of foot traffic there. Do I need to pay
now?
W-Br: Just a deposit. And I'll give you an information packet in case you have other questions.

Hi Ms. Balani, this is Mark from Duffie's Bakery. I'm calling about the cake order you placed
for your company's holiday party. I have the order here, but I seem to have misplaced the
delivery instructions. Could you please let me know what time the cake should be delivered,
and who the driver should speak to when he gets to the banquet hall? Our bakery is open
until five P.M. this evening, so please give me a call anytime before then.

Welcome to this tour of the National Museum of Art. My name is Gerald, and I'll be your
tour guide through our world-famous East Asian Art gallery The museum just completed a
renovation project of this gallery last month, so we now have room to exhibit our East Asian
ceramic collection. Let me remind you that flash photography is not allowed in the gallery.
However the gift shop sells prints and postcards of the art work in the exhibit. It also has a
fine selection of art books. I suggest you stop there before leaving today. The gift shop is
located near the main museum entrance, across from the café.

Attention, all employees on the engine assembly line. The maintenance team has found oil
leaking under a conveyor belt, so we'll have to shut down production until the leak can be
fixed. We don't expect the repairs to take long, so ... since your lunch break starts in about 15
minutes, we're just going to extend lunchtime today from the usual half hour to 45 minutes.
Enjoy the extra time, and we'll see you back at your workstations at one o'clock.
[80 - 82]
Our company's annual health fair will be taking place next week. I'm excited to tell you that

everyone will have time to participate. Oh, and we're asking that you sign up ahead of
time on the sheet posted in the break room-we need to know how many of you will be
attending.

In business news, Speedy Communications has just announced that their newest mobile
phone, the Shadowspeak, will go on the market next month. The Shadowspeak will have all
the latest features, but what sets it apart is the battery, which lasts twice as long as the
industry standard. The company hopes to generate interest in the Shadowspeak with a
special promotional event - the first 100 customers in line at the flagship store will receive
a free phone.

[86 - 88]
Wow. Look at the time. lt's already 11:45, but that's OK. I promise we will still spend plenty of
time looking at our collection of famous instruments in our display room, which most people
say is the highlight of this tour. But now that we have learned what materials are used to
make guitars, we will move on to the production floor. This is where our craftspeople actually
make the instruments. Before we go through the doors, please make sure your safety goggles
and breathing mask are on properly so that the dust from the woodwork does not get in
vour face.
[89 - 91]
I know you've all been waiting to find out who our board of directors selected to receive the
Graystone Achievement Award. This award recognizes an employee who's really contributed
a lot to our work here at LC Sportswear. This year we're proud to present the award to Juan
Mendez from the graphic design department. He did an outstanding job creating our new
company logo. This image is what consumers see on every one of our athletic products, and
Juan's striking design is sure to attract more attention.
[92 - 94]
Finally, I wanted to discuss some vacation requests. A number of drivers have asked me for time
off later this month... but you know it's the holiday season. Shipping volumes for the next four
weeks have increased by forty percent. And in fact, we're going to be so busy that we
some temporary help. So, to those who submitted requests, if you want to take a vacation
after the holidays,I'm going to return your request forms to you so you can resubmit
them with new dates.
[95 - 97]
I have one final issue to discuss at today's staff meeting. I just handed out a graph
summarizing our shoe store's annual sales data. And, well... I think this information is
particularly interesting since we relocated to a different neighborhood this year. As you might
have expected, the relocation decreased our sales significantly at first. During the experienced
the lowest quarter we moved, we shoe sales of the entire year. That was largely because
people in the new neighborhood didn't know about us. However, thanks to the newspaper
advertisements and radio commercials we put out,business picked up quickly, and we
ended the year by making a record number of sales.

221
[98 - 100]
As mayor of Bloomville, I've called this press conference to announce the city's decision about
how we'll be allocating the remaining funds in this year's budget. We researched the costs of
doing various projects, and it looks like we'll have enough money to fund only one project:
adding bike lanes to the main roadways. I know how popular the library expansion was, but
uh, unfortunately, we'll have to delay that until a later time. I'm now ready to take any
questions you have about the budget about the project itself.
