Part 3 Conversations

[32-34]
M: Hello. Are you Ms. Joyce, right? I just started working here today and I was told to shadow
you. Is it OK if I follow you around and watch how you do things?

W: Nice to meet you. Of course you can shadow me today. And if you ever have any
questions, don't hesitate to ask. I was just about to take inventory in the warehouse. Let's do it
together.

M: That sounds great. But before I do anything, I just need to change into my work uniform.
I'll join you in the warehouse in ten minutes.
DCA

35—37 conversation -BDD

M: Hello, Tina. This is Michael Hall calling. I just left the office a minute ago and realized I
forgot to e-mail myself an important document. It's a spreadsheet that I need for my
presentation in Tokyo tomorrow. Are you still at the office?

W: Yes, I am. It's 6:00 P.M. now. I still have an hour left to leave work. So, how can I help
you?

M: Oh, great. If you turn my computer on, the spreadsheet document will be right on the
desktop. If you could just e-mail it to me, I would be so grateful.

W: No problem. Wait a moment. I'll look for the document and e-mail it. Why don't you make
sure that you receive it in about five minutes?

38—40 conversation DCA

M: Hello. This is Chris Holt calling on behalf of the World Science Fiction Convention. (38)
We reserved the conference center at your hotel for our event this weekend. I visited the space
today and noticed that there were no tables and chairs set up.

W: The seating will be ready in time for the event. Those items are currently needed for
another convention in a different section of the hotel. By the way, exactly how many attendees
are you expecting to come?

M: We have 248 confirmed guests. Therefore, we will need around 50 tables with 5 chairs
each. Please let me know once these preparations are done.
41—43 conversation -DBA
W: (41) Is that the new computer the office bought for you? It looks pretty nice. I hadn’t
realized they were going to buy laptops.
M: Yes, I love it. (42) It’s so much faster than my old one, and I can just take it home with me
if I want to get something finished instead of staying late at the office. I’ve only had it a
week, but it has already made my life so much easier.
W: Great. (43)I’m on the list to get one, too. I can’t wait to start using it.

44—46 conversation - CBB

M: I haven’t seen you in the office all week. Have you been following the recent business
reports out of Asia (45) ?
W: No, (44) I’ve been at a conference all week. I haven’t had the time.
M: (45) You might want to take a look at them. There are copies in the conference room. It
might be a good idea to go check them out before you start on anything else.
W: (46) That sounds ominous. Something bad always happens when I leave the office for a
few days.

47—49 conversation – BCB

W: (47) Are you going to the meeting, or do you have too much work to do? We’d better leave
soon if we don’t want to be late.
M: (48) I’ve got to finish typing this letter, and then I’ll come. I’ll probably be about 10
minutes late.
W: Well, if you’re sure. I’ll just see you there. (49) I don’t think the others will be too pleased,
though. You were late last time, too.
M: I know, but I have to finish this first.

50-52 conversation - BBB

W: You don’t look good. What’s wrong? Are you sick?
M: Yes. I think I have the flu. I felt terrible all night and didn’t sleep well.
W: What are you doing coming in to work then? It’s not as though there’s a lot to do at the
moment. And besides, I don’t want everyone else in the office getting sick, too.

53-55 conversation – BDA

W: Excuse me, are these your keys?

M: Yes, they are. Where did you find them? I’ve been looking for them everywhere.

W: In the parking lot. I’m parked next to you, and I saw them when I got out of my car.

M: Gosh, I’m lucky that no one tried to take my car. It’s a good thing I work with such honest
people.
56—58 conversation -AAC
M: Is what I’ve heard true? Is Cheryl really leaving next week? Where’s she going?
W Yes. She starts at Beckwith & Mc Dougal the first of the month. She’s going to be a
conference and events planner.
M: Good for her. I hope she likes it over there. She needs a new challenge.
W: Yes, I think she’ll do really well there.

59—61 conversation- CBD

M1: Harry, Anne, what kind of tools did you say we need?
M2: (59) Look over there in the hardware section. We need a drill, and two hammers. We
don't need anything else because (60) I'm getting all the small equipment delivered to the
office today.
W: What about paint?
M2: We don't need paint; we already have it.
M1; OK. (61) But we do need some nails. I know you didn't order those. I saw the invoice.
M2: Yes, you're right. Let's get what we need here and then go.

62—64 conversation – CDC

M; Hi Sally, how has your day been?
W: Really great Jim, I have been busy, but productive. (62) How was your meeting this
morning?
M: It went better than I expected. The interior design specialist just gave us some
recommendations for our office layout. We don't need to purchase anything new, just
rearrange a few things.
W: Oh really? What did he say?
M: (63) He suggested that we move the help desk and the sales desk so that they are on
opposite sides of the entrance. That way, if we have people waiting in line they won't be
crowded. (64) We will just slide the sales desk to where the waiting area is now.

W: That is a good idea, and this way, when people come into the office they can see all of our
products displayed against the back wall.

M: Exactly, and then after they purchase their items they can just step out the door. Glad we
are already on the same page.

W: Well, I think we should start moving the sales desk right away, don't you?

65—67 conversation - CDC

M: Hi Rosalie, (65) did you hear about the fire drills next week?

W: Yeah. (66) |can't believe they scheduled ours during our lunch break. They need to
reschedule our lunch break, or change the fire drill time to P.M. They shouldn't expect us to
skip lunch and practice the fire drills.

M: I know. I don't think it is very fair. They should have had all the drills in the afternoon. The
other departments actually get extra time off work, and we lose our lunch break.
W: (67) | think we should go and speak to our supervisor. What do you think?

M: I agree. Should we go now?

W: Yes. Let me quickly send an email and I will come with you.

68—70 conversation - CCD

M:(68) Mark's Models, this is Greg speaking. How can I help you today?

W: Hi Greg. I bought a snap fit Mazda Mikado plastic model kit yesterday and I'm just starting
to put it together now but some of the pieces are missing. Oh, that's not good. What exactly is
missing?

M: (69) Well, it seems like all the parts are here but I have nothing to put them together with.
W: Ah... It must be the snap fit tool. With our older model kits, that's a pretty common
problem. We have a lot in the store. (70) I'll express-post one to you today if that's OK?

W: Oh, that's great. Thanks for your help!

Part 4 Talks
71—73 announcement - DDB
(W) (71) The final item on our agenda is recycling. We need to take responsibility for our
environment. In this office, we recycle copy paper, plastic and glass, and newspapers. (72)
There are separate containers for glass, plastic, and newspapers beneath the back windows. All
new staff members please take note of the boxes on the shelves near the copy machines. There
is one box for each of the three sizes of paper we use. Put all recyclable paper in the
appropriate boxes. Recyclable paper is paper that has been printed on one side only. Put them
face down in the boxes. Do not put two- sided copies in the boxes, they cannot be reused. Do
not mix up the sizes. Any questions? No? Then that’s all for today. (73) Enjoy your lunch.

that for two years. (76)He began his career with three years of research and clinical work in

have partly sunny skies over the big city today. It will be breezy and mild with temperatures in
the low 70s. (82) Along the coast, however, those breezes are going to turn heavy with gusts of
up to 35 mph. Tomorrow should be mostly sunny with plenty of wind to keep our skies fresh
and clear. (81) We can expect three days of this, so hold onto your hats. For those of you plan
to take part in the Joy FM Charity Marathon tomorrow, this means it’s going to be a tough
run, especially along the beachfront promenade.

for a new dental assistant. A colleague told me you are really good at making job application
ads. (90) Have you seen the criteria for the dental assistant position? This is my first time

Hi, this message is for Ronald Benson. (92) My name is Stuart Lawson, the manager at
Rosewood Printing Company. We just received an online order from you for 2000 wedding
invitations with lace and gold fabric wrappings. (93) I'm calling just to confirm your order
is for 2000 invitations and not 200. It is unusual to get such a large order so I just want to
make sure it is correct. Please call me back to confirm when you have a chance. We will
not proceed with the order until you confirm. (94) Also, if you are planning such a large
event, we have an excellent planner in the office named Shubert Mendez. If you want to
speak with him just ask for extension 12 when you call to confirm. I will make sure he
gives you a free consultation.

the charts for six weeks. Earlier today, (96) George was telling me how his album was heavily
influenced by his recent move to London, and the growing rock and roll scene there. You can
