M-Au: Hi, Maria. Were you able to start on the wedding cakes yet? ..........................
...................................................................................................................................
W-Br: Yes, I've started on the Anderson order. It's a little more complex than I thought
it would be ..................................................................................................................
...................................................................................................................................
M-Au: Yes, they're more complicated and they do take a little more time, but it'll be
worth it .......................................................................................................................
...................................................................................................................................
W-Br: Right. We can definitely increase our bakery’s sales by offering wedding cakes.
Take a look – is the color of this frosting OK? ............................................................
...................................................................................................................................
M-Au: Actually, the order called for a dark pink. This is a little too pale. Let me get
some more food coloring from the supply closet ........................................................
...................................................................................................................................

35 – 37.
M-Cn: Hi, Joanne. I didn't know you rode a bike to work. When did you start doing
that? ...........................................................................................................................
W-Am: Last week. The town just added a new bike lane on Felton Road, so now I
can ride here ..............................................................................................................
M-Cn: That's great. I heard the town government is planning to add bike lanes on
some other roads too .................................................................................................
...................................................................................................................................
W-Am: It’s really convenient. My commute to work used to be an hour by bus, and
now it’s only 25 minutes .............................................................................................
M-Cn: Wow. You know, I'm a member of a local bike-riding club that takes tours on
the weekends. You should join. It's a great group ......................................................
...................................................................................................................................

38 – 40.
M-Au: Hello, Ms. Wilson. This is Oliver calling from Kardack Engineering. I reviewed
your application for the mechanical engineer position and would like to interview you.
...................................................................................................................................
W-Am Oh, I'm happy to hear that ...............................................................................
M-Au Good. I'll transfer you to my administrative assistant. He’ll make the
arrangements for the interview...................................................................................
W-Am Great ...............................................................................................................
M-Cn Hello, Ms. Wilson. This is Mr. Lewis’ assistant, Martin. I'm wondering if
Wednesday at nine a.m. works for you ......................................................................
...................................................................................................................................
W-Am Yes, that’s perfect. Now, I've never been to your office complex before. Where
can I find directions? ..................................................................................................
M-Cn I'll e-mail those to you .......................................................................................

41 – 43.
M-Cn: Good morning, you've reached Taylor Dental. How can I help you? ...............
...................................................................................................................................
W-Br: Hi. This is Susan Walker, one of Dr. Taylor’s patients. I'd like to schedule an
appointment for a teeth cleaning this Friday. Will that be possible?...........................
...................................................................................................................................
M-Cr: Unfortunately, we're all booked this week. But if someone cancels and an
appointment opens up, I could contact you ................................................................
W-Br: Sure, thanks .....................................................................................................
M-Cn: I should let you know, in case you do get an appointment, that our parking
area is under construction this week, so you can't park there ....................................
...................................................................................................................................
W-Br: Oh no – I don't know of any other parking areas nearby ..................................
...................................................................................................................................
M-Cn: Well, the Number 10 bus stops right outside our building ...............................

M-Cn: Welcome to Chesterton Bank. How can I help you? .......................................
W-Br: Well, I’d like to deposit my paycheck into my savings account ........................

your paycheck will go directly into your account, and you don't have to come in to the
branch to do the transaction.......................................................................................
...................................................................................................................................
W-Br: That sounds great, actually ..............................................................................
M-Cn: You just need to fill out some paperwork. I'll go prepare that now so you can
sign up today..............................................................................................................

47 – 49.
W-Br: Good morning, Hakim. The prototype for our new refrigerator is ready to show
to our appliance distributors from Malaysia today ......................................................
...................................................................................................................................
M-Au: Oh, it turns out we had to reschedule meeting about the refrigerator. Their
flight was delayed, and their plane won't be arriving until this evening ......................
...................................................................................................................................
W-Br: So I guess they'll be going straight to their hotel, then. Should I arrange for a
car service to pick them up in the morning? ...............................................................
M-Au: Yes, thanks. Around nine o'clock would be good ............................................
W-Br: OK. I'll do that right now ...................................................................................

M-Cn Thank you! Do you happen to know if there'll be a question-and-answer session
after each presentation? I have a question for one of the speakers...........................
...................................................................................................................................
W-Am: Yes, there'll be a few minutes at the end of each session for that. Oh and
before you go in, don't forget to choose a travel mug from the next table – we have
two different colors this year ......................................................................................
...................................................................................................................................

53 – 55.
M-Au: Hi, this is Takumi from Color Printing Solutions. 541 e-mailed you the mock-

W-Am: Oh hi, Takumi. I just saw your draft of the flyer and was about to call you
myself. We actually have a new company logo..........................................................
...................................................................................................................................
M-Au: OK, no problem. Can you send it to me before lunch? That way I can be sure
to finish the print job by the end of today as promised ...............................................
...................................................................................................................................
W-Am: Sure! Please charge the order to the credit card you have on file for our
account ......................................................................................................................

56 – 58.
W-Br: A lot more people have been visiting the museum lately – my tours have been
completely full! What about yours, Emily? .................................................................
...................................................................................................................................
W-Am: Mine, too. I think it's because of the new art exhibit-the one that was donated
by Juno Siska. It would be interesting to know how she started collecting art ...........
...................................................................................................................................
M-Au: Well, I just heard that Ms. Siska will be here next Thursday afternoon to talk
about her collection. I'm sure there'll be a chance to ask her questions ....................
...................................................................................................................................
W-Am: That sounds great. How much are tickets to that event? ...............................
...................................................................................................................................

of charge ....................................................................................................................

59 – 61.
M-Cn: Hi, I bought this computer just the other day, but I think it may be defective.
The operating system software has frozen on me several times already ...................
...................................................................................................................................
W-Br: Well-freezes are common during setup, and there's an easy fix for that. We do
offer technical support for a small fee, if you're interested .........................................
...................................................................................................................................
M-Cn: Isn't that included in my insurance package? ..................................................
W-Br: Oh – you bought our insurance! Yes, technical support is one of the benefits.
What's your phone number, please? I can pull up your policy with that number ........
...................................................................................................................................

W-Am: Hey, David. Our clients are coming from overseas next week, and we need
to order the food for the welcome dinner. Which of these dishes do you think we
should get? ................................................................................................................
...................................................................................................................................
M-Au: Well, the last time we had clients here, we ordered the vegetable pasta.
Everyone really liked it ...............................................................................................
...................................................................................................................................
W-Am: Yeah, I remember. But this time we have a larger budget, so I wanted to order
something different ....................................................................................................
M-Au: Why don't we order the baked salmon? ..........................................................
...................................................................................................................................
W-Am: I was thinking that, too. Also, we still have to call and confirm the hotel booking
for our clients. I'm going to do that now ......................................................................

65 – 67.
W-Br: Carl, you cleaned all the equipment in the laboratory last night, right? I received
a complaint from one of the lab technicians this morning that I wanted to talk to you
about ..........................................................................................................................
...................................................................................................................................
M-Cn: Really? What was the problem? ......................................................................
...................................................................................................................................
W-Br: Well, he said that the microscope lenses were dirty. When you cleaned them,
did you wipe them in a circular motion, like the manual indicates? If you don't, it could
just spread the dirt around .........................................................................................
M-Cn: Oh, you know I think I might have done that the wrong way. Sorry about that
...................................................................................................................................
W-Br: It's OK, other people have made that same mistake. I'd better copy that page
in the manual and post it in the lab for all the staff .....................................................
...................................................................................................................................

68 – 70.
M-Cn: Hi, Sandra. This information packet contains statistics about our sales
performance so far this year. Take a look at this page-it has the sales figures for our
high-end tires for the first quarter ...............................................................................
...................................................................................................................................
W-Am: Hmm ... Interesting. The Z150 is our newest car tire, right? And we sold
35,000 of them in one month this quarter! What happened that month? ...................
M-Cn: We offered a discount to car dealers that bought more than 1,000 tires. It was
extremely effective. When we ended the deal, sales went down a little bit, so we're
offering it again this month .........................................................................................
...................................................................................................................................

71 – 73.
OK, let's get the monthly staff meeting started. First off, this Saturday is the

annual holiday parade. And as many of you know, the parade goes right down our

street. It's always one of our busiest days ... lots of people will stop by for lunch, and

the line can get quite long. So we'll need a few extra cooks and servers, and everyone

who works that day'II get overtime pay. Let me know soon if you're able to work on

Saturday. Oh... and I strongly recommend taking the bus or train if you can.

Remember that it'll be very difficult to park on Saturday during the event.

74 – 76.
Hi, Jamie. I really like the suggestion you gave at yesterday's staff meeting for

promoting our electronics store. I think holding a photography contest is a great idea,

especially since we mainly sell cameras and camera equipment. There are several

things we'd have to do to prepare for it, though, like decide on a submission deadline

and outline the basic rules for the contest. We could even consider offering a prize

for the first-place winner. Let's meet sometime this week to get started. I’ll take a look

at our schedules this morning and book a time for us to get together.

77 – 79.
 OK everyone, before you head out to the factory floor this morning to start your

shifts, I have a brief announcement. As most of you know, the new conveyor belt is

now installed and up and running. This new conveyor belt is very similar to the older

model, except it's twice as fast as the old one. This means that our factory can now

move double the number of units per hour. Clearly, this is a big improvement in

production speed. However, it could also be a challenge for us to watch out for

production errors. So, you're all required to watch a short training video this morning

before starting work.

80 – 82.
Hello, Kwang-Ho. Listen, I hate to bother you after you've left the office for the

day, but I just took a look at the materials for the health insurance orientation we're

doing for our new employees on Wednesday morning. Andre was supposed to finish

preparing the new employee benefits packets, but he's been out sick, so they're not

done. I know you're going to be busy, but I don't have any appointments tomorrow. I

do have a couple of questions about some of the materials, though, so give me a call

back, thanks.

This is Health on the Go, a weekly broadcast that gives you advice about your

eating habits. Today we're talking about salt. Who's heard that salt is not good for

you? Well... this negative view of salt is surprising because it's simply not true. You

actually do need some salt in your diet to remain healthy. But remember salt occurs

naturally in most foods, so you don't need to add extra salt to your diet. In fact, even

fruits and vegetables contain salt. I know you're all interested in trying more recipes

that use fruits and vegetables. We'll be talking about that on next week's broadcast.

89 – 91.
Welcome to the evening news. I'm your host, Charlene Dawson. We've got a

lot of interesting stories to cover on tonight's program. And ... at the top of our list is

an exciting announcement from Francisco City-where a solar-powered airport will be

built! One of the very first solar-powered airports in the world! If you're looking for a

job, Nassar Builders, the construction firm that is building the airport, will be holding

an employment fair next month. At the fair, they'll interview and hire workers for the

project. For more details about Nassar Builders, check the city's Web site.

being in an actual interview situation. I'll walk around the room and listen to each

group in order to give you individual feedback. Now, before we start, please sign your

name on the attendance sheet on my desk.
