PART 3
Questions 32-34
M: Hi. I’m calling to order a large, high definition flat-screen TV and a
surround-sound stereo attachment. I don’t need any help with the at-
home installation, so I’d like to just come in tomorrow to pick them up.
Is that going to be possible?
W: Certainly. But you should know that we’re closing at 6 P.M.
tomorrow instead of our usual time of 8 RM. We’re taking inventory of
our entire stock.
M: Oh, I see. In that case, I won’t be able to get there in time. Would
you mind telling me how much it would cost for delivery minus the
installation?
Questions 38-40
M: Hello. This is Vernon King, and it’s my first day here. I’m assisting
Wayne Powell on his medical research, and I have a question for Lance
Jacobs, the head of security. Could I speak to him now?
W: I’m sorry. He’s in a conference call at the moment. What seems to be
the problem?
M: Well, I haven’t received my access code for the restricted section of
the database yet.
W: According to our records, a request was made yesterday but hasn’t
been approved yet. Mr. Jacobs can approve it as soon as he’s available,
so it will be ready after lunch. He’ll e-mail it to you directly.
Questions 44-46
M: Excuse me. I think one of your dryers is malfunctioning. I keep
turning it on, but after about sixty seconds it seems to just turn itself off.
I even tried holding down the start button, but that didn’t work either.
W: I think I know the one you mean. The timer on machine number
seven keeps breaking down. I’ll call the engineer out again.
M: Okay. Should I try another machine, or do I need to come back later?
W: Number ten, the one in the far corner, isn’t in use now. I’ll help you
move your laundry over and then give you your money back for the
coins you already put in. I’m sorry for the inconvenience.
Questions 35-37
W: Hello. I’m here to deliver this fruit basket to the patient in room 416.
M: I think you must have the wrong room number. The whole west wing
is closed for construction, so those rooms aren’t occupied at the moment.
Could you tell me the patient’s name?
W: The order is addressed to...Ms. Greta Downs.
M: Let me see if I can find her name in our database. Hmm...She’s
currently in our critical care unit, so she’s not allowed visitors. l can take
this up to her later.
Questions 41-43
W: It seems that our wedding bouquets are growing in popularity. A lot
of people who have used our floral services have recommended them to
their friends.
M: I know. However, getting personal recommendations is not going to
be enough. To stay competitive, we need to get a professional to
redesign our Web site.
W: I couldn’t agree more. In fact, I set up a meeting with Langdon’s
Web Design. They have a proven track record in online retailing, and
they are sending a representative here to go over our options.
Questions 47-49
W: This food is wonderful, and I’m amazed by the wide variety of
dishes offered here. How’s your meal?
M: It’s delicious. The flavors are well-balanced, and the prices are also
quite reasonable. I wonder if this restaurant would deliver to our office.
This food would be perfect for the orientation meeting we’re in charge
of next month. I'm sure the staff would love it. Don’t you agree?
W: I’m not sure whether or not there is delivery, but it’s an excellent
idea. Why don’t we ask the waiter? He could explain the options for off-
site events.
Questions 50-52
M: Hi, Molly. ls everything ready for the proposal for the Gateway
Foundation grant?
W: I’ve nearly completed it, but I don’t have the initial figures from our
first round of testing. You’re the one who compiled that data, right?
M: Oh, you’re right. I prepared the file with the findings so far, but I
forgot to send the raw data to you. It’s completed, so I'll e-mail it to you
shortly.
W: Thank you. Representatives from Gateway are coming first thing
tomorrow to discuss whether we will get this funding. I'd like to print the
informational materials today to have them ready before the morning.
Will you have some time to take care of that after lunch today?
Questions 56-58
M1: Hey, Liza! Congratulations on becoming a supervisor.
W: Thanks, Ralph. I didn’t see it coming. I thought the company would
hire someone outside to fill the position. Oh, what if I can’t handle the
job well?
M2: Don’t say that. I’ve been there. At first, being a team leader was
challenging for me, but I eventually got used to it.
W: Maybe I’m just overwhelmed. I haven't managed a team before.
M1: There’s nothing to worry about. You’ve helped us plan projects and
train people before. You'll be fine.
M2: That’s right. You can do it, Liza.
W: Thanks, guys. I’m lucky to have coworkers like you.
M1: So, what are we waiting for? Let’s celebrate!
Questions 62-64
W: Hi. I'd like to apply for a new business loan. I have a small café
downtown, and I’m opening a second location.
M: Okay. To obtain the loan you must provide your financial records
and a copy of your new business plan.
W: I haven't written one.
M: Then you'll need to meet with Ms. Brady. She can tell you about
what other options there are in more detail. She has two openings in her
schedule tomorrow. If you want, I can book you for one of those.
W: I work every day until 2:30 P.M. I’ll come by after that.
M: Okay, she’ll see you tomorrow then!
Questions 68-70
M: Have you read the news? Vehicle sales all over the country went down by 30 percent this quarter.
W: Yeah, it has affected a lot of car companies like ours. How was your sales record?
M: It didn’t look good. My team could have done better. Well, Jason remained a top performer, but Christian and Phil...they need to step up. I’m
going to see them tomorrow to discuss their performance.
W: Sorry to hear that. What about your new member?
M: Ryan? Oh, he’s amazing. He met the quota for the last quarter. Too bad he’s not yet qualified for the incentive program like the rest of the team.
Only one of them will get a bonus, actually.
W: Well, you’re still lucky. It’s hard to find someone like Ryan nowadays.
Questions 53-55
W: How was your trip to Singapore?
M: It was quite hectic. I had to attend the Engineering Conference and
meet with the leaders of Singapore’s structural design team.
W: Wow. You must be exhausted. Oh, I almost forgot. Peter Mannings
called. He was asking for you.
M: No way! The great Peter Mannings? I can’t believe it.
W: I know. He said you met at the conference.
M: Yes, we spoke after his talk on steel bridges. I even invited him to
conduct a seminar for our engineers.
W: That would be a great learning opportunity for everyone.
M: I completely agree.
Questions 59-61
W: Is this for real? We’re closing in 30 minutes, but there’s still a long
line of customers buying coffee.
M1: Yeah. Since the new office buildings across the street opened, a lot
of people have been coming by the shop every day. We really need to
extend our business hours.
M2: And it’s necessary to add more tables and chairs. Can we do both of
those things, Rose?
W: I think our budget will allow us to expand some more seating. I'll
contact our contractor tomorrow morning.
M2: What about the possibility of extending our hours?
W: It’s not a good idea to do that without hiring new staff first. Don’t be
concerned. I can just assign longer shifts to our current staff.
Questions 65-67
W: Hello, Wayne. Did you book Conference Room B today?
M: Hi, Martha. Yes, I did. I have a job interview at four o’clock. Why?
W: My team has a video conference call with our London counterparts at
that time. I reserved a small meeting room because I thought not
everyone had to come. Unfortunately, I was recently informed that the
entire team must attend. We now need a bigger space.
M: Hmm...Why don’t we exchange rooms? I don’t need a large one
anyway.
W: Really? Thank you so much. I’ll ask Jill to change our room
reservations and notify you.
M: Sure, anytime.
PART 4
Questions 71-73 refer to the following telephone message
W: Hello. This is Denise Courtney from Indica Clinic calling on behalf
of Dr. Ramus. The doctor has asked me to remind you to skip breakfast
prior to your appointment at 9 A.M. on May 7 because it could affect
your test results. If you are currently taking any pills or other
medication, then please contact the clinic so we can add that information
to your records. Our number is 555-2094, which is the same number you
should call if you have any questions.
Questions 77-79 refer to the following advertisement
M: The Heights Golf Resort is open for the season. Following a
construction project that added a lake on the 5th and 14th holes, the
course is now ready for play. Known for its breathtaking landscape on
the Scottish coastline, The Heights has won numerous course-design
awards. As a welcome gift for new members, every application form
comes with an entry into a prize draw to win a complete set of clubs
from Bobcat Sports.
Questions 83-85 refer to the following introduction
W: Thank you, everyone. To conclude this evening’s ceremony, I want
to introduce Mr. Harvey Levine who is retiring as the CEO of Executive
Solutions. Mr. Levine came to us ten years ago from the world of luxury
vehicles and his remarkable skills as a salesperson have served us well.
His management has increased our profitability by forty percent over the
years. That’s well known. Before he leaves, we will give Mr. Levine the
opportunity to reflect on his decade here. Please put your hands together
and help me welcome him to the stage.
Questions 89-91 refer to the following talk
W: Good afternoon. My name is Tracy Moore, and I’m here to tell you
about a solid investment opportunity. The Renco heater is a heating
device for your home or office. Most heaters have to be operated
manually or work on a pre-set timer. But the Renco heater can be turned
on and off from an app on your smartphone. That means you can have it
start heating your home shortly before you get there. These days,
consumers are looking for opportunities to reduce their energy usage.
For your information, this is the way. I've prepared some preliminary
profit estimates, which were passed out to you when you arrived. Please
take a moment now to look these over.
Questions 74-76 refer to the following radio broadcast
W: You’re listening to the hourly traffic report on WKKL Radio.
Drivers are experiencing long delays on Roth Avenue due to the heavy
snowfall from last night. Nearly nine inches of snow is covering the
road, and vehicles are getting stuck. The city has begun clearing major
roadways, but the progress is slow. Therefore, you should take the
subway if possible to avoid further delays. And, unfortunately, more
snow and freezing rain is expected tonight. As a safety precaution,
Randall Bridge will be closed all day tomorrow on account of the icy
conditions. We’ll have another traffic update at five o’clock.
Questions 80-82 refer to the following telephone message
W: Hello, Mr. Hong? This is Samantha from Essential Home. I’m very
sorry, but we just realized that your recent order was filled incorrectly.
This week your order was inadvertently sent to another customer, and
you will soon receive theirs. We will immediately repackage your order
and send it to your address along with a postage-paid box. Please return
the incorrect order in that box. Additionally, we will include a coupon
for ten dollars off your next purchase to compensate you for the
inconvenience. Please call customer service at 1-800-555-2940 with any
further questions. Thank you.
Questions 86-88 refer to the following telephone message
M: Hi, Susan. It’s Jeremiah. I need to tell you something about Mark
Stroud, one of the biggest accounts of yours. Mr. Stroud’s assistant said
that he is unable to make it to tomorrow’s meeting. He has to go out of
town on business unexpectedly. Therefore, he’d like to reschedule the
meeting for... uh...Friday morning at 9 A.M. I know you’re supposed to
lead the training of the interns at that time, but don’t worry. I’ll cover it
for you. As you know, I led it last year, so I know what to do. The
meeting is much more important, so it should be given top priority.
Questions 92-94 refer to the following announcement and list
M: Attention, shoppers. Johnson Supermarket is always looking for
ways to bring healthy options to our customers. That’s why we’ve
recently added an organic foods section, where a wide variety of fruits
and vegetables are available for you and your family. You can find these
items at the rear of the store, where our employees are serving free
samples of some of these products all week. Yesterday our flavorful bell
peppers were a hit, and today we’re giving out juicy apples. We
encourage you to stop by and give them a try. And please remember that
Johnson Supermarket will be closed tomorrow in observance of National
Independence Day. Thank you.
Questions 95-97 refer to the following excerpt from a meeting and list
W: Last month finalized the legal process for merging our two
companies. From now on, we will operate under the new title Hologram
International, with Jerry Rayner acting as the sales director and Lynn
Spears in charge of marketing. As part of the ongoing process of
integrating our administration operations, we will slowly switch to a new
management system. We expect some integration challenges between
the two sides of the business. Our head of HR, Kelly Young, has
volunteered to be a point of contact regarding these issues. Please call
her to report any problems you’ve had with the transition. Now...uh...I'll
briefly open the floor to questions before we break for lunch.
Questions 98-100 refer to the following talk and chart
W: Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Portland Enterprises. The
competition at the final interview stage was strong this year.
So...um...you should all feel proud to have been hired. Today, you will
learn all about our company through several information sessions. You
will attend each session in small groups based on the departments you
were hired for. This particular group received the largest number of
applicants, so you should be even more pleased that you were able to
secure a position here. Finally, I want to warn you that you may feel
nervous with a lot of details in today’s sessions, but don’t worry. I’ll
give you copies of the speakers’ notes later on.
