I just got a call from Mr. Benson, the owner at 488 Oak Street, where we're doing
that
big interior renovation.
He was a little upset.
He says the wrong color countertop has been installed in his kitchen.
That's strange.
I placed the order for that countertop myself.
It was quite marble if I remember correctly.
I better order a replacement immediately.
Okay.
I'll call Mr. Benson back and let him know we're ordering him a new one right away.

Hi, Lucia.
I think we're almost ready for the cooking class tomorrow.
We have a lot of people signed up, even though it's the first one we've held here
at the
store.
I know.
I really hope this will help boost our sales.
The chef teaching the class will be using a lot of the equipment we sell here in
the
store, so hopefully the students will buy it to use at home.
Yes, you're right.
Oh, that reminds me.
We got a shipment of new cookware this morning.

I was busy with the launch of our new smartphone last week.
Have you met her?
Yeah, she seems very approachable.
Her last job was with a computer manufacturer, so I think she's a really good fit
for the
company.
So how did the new product launch go?

We started in Europe and we'll expand to North America.

Hi, Jin Sang.
Oh, I was wondering.
Have you noticed how cold it's been here in the coffee shop lately?
Actually, yes.
I wonder if it's because the side door hasn't been closing properly.
That door should close automatically.
See a hinge is broken or needs to be adjusted.
Well, I'm really concerned about the temperature.
Our customers don't want to sit in a cold coffee shop.
I'll try to get a repair person to come and fix it today.
Actually, you don't need to call.
I used to work at a hardware store.

Hi.
I saw an advertisement for the picky-ee-ee camera in today's newspaper.
But the price shown on the display here in your store is different than what was
listed
in the ad.
Oh, okay.
My manager here can help you.
Mr. Jensen, sure, sorry about the confusion.
That camera just went on sale today and we haven't changed the price on our display
yet.
Oh, that's good to hear.
I'd like to buy it then.

Maybe you're brushing too hard or you're using the wrong type of toothbrush.
I have a pamphlet about that.
Here you go.

Going to Chicago would be a big decision for me though, so I'll need to think about
it.
Well, we'd really like to fill the position this week.

It's a 10-kilometer run through the city.
The money raised will be used for a neighborhood playground.
Sounds good.
By the way, I usually run with some of our colleagues during lunch.
I'll talk to them tomorrow about joining the team.
Great.
Thanks, Amelia.
We need 10 people to make a full team.
Hey, there's Martin.

I'd really appreciate it if you could get this one last thing before you go.
Okay, sure.
Oh, last time I was in the stockroom, I noticed that we've sold out of a lot of
sizes in
this style.
I'll go look, but it might be a good idea to ask the customer if she'd be

As the manager of a large bank, I know that our energy bills are quite substantial.
We're always looking for ways to cut energy costs.
Well, our software automatically controls the lighting, heating, and cooling of
multiple
rooms as well as the energy needed for operating machines.
It redirects the energy where it's needed so that there's no waste.

Would it be possible for you to give us a demonstration of how it all works?

I'm arranging the annual awards banquet for my company.
I checked your website.
Can I reserve the Rose Hall for May 15th?
Let me check the schedule.
I'm afraid the Rose Hall is unavailable that day.
The Sunflower Hall is available.
It's $50 more expensive than the Rose Hall, but it's larger.
Hmm, that's okay.
The Sunflower Hall should be fine.
I also had a question about food for the dinner.
Can you recommend a good caterer?
Oh, I'd recommend Sami's caterering.
It's popular because of the variety of vegetarian options they offer.

Michelle, thanks for agreeing to lead this afternoon's meeting with me.
One topic I think we should discuss with the staff is factory productivity.
We haven't met our quotas for light bulbs for a few months.
I know.
Productivity hasn't been stable recently.
We had a month of strong production, but the next month was the lowest we've had in
a
year.
Right, so at today's meeting, let's focus on the month when productivity was very
low.
I know that our bulb manufacturing machines broke down several times that month.
We should probably have all of them inspected.
I agree.
What else should we discuss at the staff meeting?

Question 68 through 70 refer to the following conversation and list.
Hi, Corey.
I wanted to talk to you about the way we currently conduct hiring for the firm.
I was thinking that we could reduce our workload in the human resources department
by reducing
the number of steps in the hiring process.
Well, we have to be sure we hire the right people.
We can't eliminate the phone call.
That's the best way to decide who we should bring in for interviews.
But we could stop doing a group interview.
I agree.
Honestly, those haven't provided much information about job candidates in the past.
Good point.
Okay.
Let's work on a presentation to show Mr. Kobayashi our idea.
Alright.
Number 68.
According to the woman, what is the benefit of changing a process?
Number 69.
Look at the graphic.
Each step to the speaker's agree should be removed.
Number 70.
What will the speakers do next?
This term.
