SCRIPTS FOR END-OF-UNIT TESTS – MODULE 2

UNIT 7
PART 1

1. Man: I finished typing up those contracts and mailed them off to Mr. Park this morning.
Woman: Great. OK, I’m off to the airport. My flight leaves in 45 minutes.
Man: When will we see you back here in the office?
Woman: Early next week. Look, it’s 11 o’clock already. I have to run.

2. Man: Let’s have Mr. Lee’s retirement party in the conference room.
Woman: I don’t think it’s big enough for all fifty guests, even if we move the chairs and computers.
Man: Yes, you’re right. We’d better have it at a restaurant. What day is the party?
Woman: Friday. That’s just two days away, so we have to plan fast.

PART 2
Good morning, everyone. I’ve organized this brief training session to help you make the internship
program worthwhile to both the company and the interns themselves. As department directors, you’ll be
responsible for assigning appropriate tasks to the interns as well as mentoring them and teaching them
about our business. I passed out extra security badges to each of you when you came in. These badges will
be active for today only. They should be used by the interns until they can get permanent ID badges from
the security desk. You've already been e-mailed a list of the interns assigned to your department. If
someone fails to arrive by 1:00 P.M. as scheduled, please let me know immediately.

UNIT 8
PART 1

1. Man: Thank you for calling, but I’m sorry to have to tell you that Mr. Curtis is out of town on business.
Would you like to leave a message?
Woman: Thank you, but . . . uh . . . I think I’d like to make an appointment for when he returns. I’d like
him to take a look at some contracts for me.
Man: Well, Mr. Curtis will be returning tomorrow. I could schedule an appointment for you later in the
week.
Woman: Thank you. That would be fine.
 2. Woman: Things just haven’t been the same since Mr. Cho retired last month. There’s no one here to tell
us jokes.
Man: It’s hard to work without Mr. Cho making us laugh.
Woman: Do you know what else isn’t the same? Ms. Green didn’t bring cookies today.
Man: That’s because Ms. Green is on vacation this week. She’s the one who always brings them.

PART 2
In positive news out of Hong Kong today, the stock market rose to its highest level in three years
following announcements from the financial sector. With most major banks in the region reporting record
profits during the last quarter, investors rushed to pick up banking shares viewed by experts as
undervalued.
Mr. Andy Li, a spokesperson for the Hong Kong Trade Association, said that the industry was optimistic
about the financial outlook for the next year. In addition, the government plans to fund regional building
projects to improve local infrastructure. This is expected to draw even more investors to the area.

UNIT 9

PART 1

1. Woman: This package arrived for Mr. Ozawa this morning.

Man: Who is it from? His boss?
Woman: No, his secretary. It’s the report he needs for his meeting with Ms. Jones tomorrow.
Man: He’s at lunch, but I’ll put it on his desk with the rest of his mail.

2. Man: Is Jim still working on that memo? I’ve got to see him before I leave.
Woman: Good luck. He missed the 3:00 meeting because he had to type the final copy.
Man: Well, I can’t wait. I’ve got to catch the 6:00 train. I’m already late.

PART 2
Finally on the agenda, JMP Industries will start its own company newsletter, the first edition of which will
be released on November 1. Our CEO is very excited about the project, which will introduce you to the
inner workings of the corporation. I expect that you’ll find it informative as well as entertaining. If you
 have suggestions for subjects you’d like to see covered in future issues, please send them to me via e-mail.
To offset the costs of printing the newsletter, we’ll be selling quarter-page and half-page ads, which will
appear between articles. Catherine Moon, from the marketing department, will spearhead this effort. Now,
if there are no further questions, let’s bring this meeting to a close.

UNIT 10
PART 1

1. Man: We can’t write this report here. Your office is too noisy. Aren’t there desks somewhere where it’s
quieter?
Woman: Hmm. We could take the elevator to the first floor conference room.
Man: OK. Let’s just take this computer and that folder of papers with us.
Woman: Fine. We can leave the pens and notepads here. They have all that downstairs.

2. Woman: Sam, who will be in your office tomorrow to go over these accounts with me?
Man: I’ll be at a conference, but my boss will be there after lunch. He’ll help you.
Woman: Great. He’s more helpful than your assistant. I’ll take him out to dinner after work as a thank you.

PART 2
Welcome to the Athena Recruitment Center. Throughout the next 5 days, our instructors will be teaching

UNIT 11
PART 1

1. Woman: I’m so tired of this old photocopier. Did you realize it’s broken again?
Man: I’m going to report this right away. I have to get these copies made.
Woman: I already called the company. A repair person will be here at noon.
Man: Great. Well, I guess I’ll read my e-mail while I’m waiting.
2. Woman: We have to discuss the conference plans soon. Can we meet this week?
Man: Sorry, I’ll be away on a business trip for the rest of this week.
Woman: How about next Monday then? I’ll see you in your office at 11.
Man: Monday’s fine, but let’s make it at one. I have a morning class.
