Seoulwen corporation for only one year.
I think it's a great idea. At Seoulwen you're
not using your training in computer
programming. You should find a job where
you can use all of your skills.
You may be right. Actually, I heard there's
an increasing demand for people with
programming skills.
You know, there’s a special employment
section in today's newspaper and it
probably includes advertisements for jobs
in the technology field. You should have a
look.

and have a photographer take some pictures.

And I'm Jack Krugman, I just found out
about the training this morning. I'm
worried it might be too late to sign up
No, that's fine Mr. Krugman. But I don't
have any extra information packets. Do
you too mind sharing 1 sure
Sure, and I was wondering. Are any
refreshments provided?
You'll find coffee, tea, and snacks at the
back of the room. We’ll be starting the session in about 10 minutes.

Questions 41 through 43 refer to the


following conversation.
M-Cn Good afternoon. I currently
subscribe to your Gold Plan satellite
television package. I’d like to switch to
the Platinum Plan because there are some
new movie channels that l’d like to watch.
W-Am Of course, l’d be happy to help you
upgrade your subscription. Could you spell
your last name for me so that I can look
up your account?
M-Cn Yes, it’s K-W-A-N. When should I
expect to have access to the extra
channels?
W-Am Your account will reset tomorrow at 6 A.M., so you’ll be able to
watch them first thing in the morning. I just want to remind you that an
extra fifteen dollars will appear on your next monthly bill for this
expanded service.
Questions 44 through 46 refer to the
following conversation.
Mister Michaels, After you finish repairing
the air conditioner, could you have a look
at the shower in room 210? The guests
staying there complained that there is a
pool of water on the floor.
I already have a look. There's a crack in
the shower door so water is coming out
Will it cost a lot to fix? We've already
overspent our budget on repairs.
It's not going to be cheap that's for sure.

Questions 47 through 49 refer to the


following conversation.
W-Am You know the music festival that’s
starting this weekend?
M-Cn Um… someone mentioned it. Is it any
good?
W-Am It’s great! Mostly small folk groups,
but they have well-known bands too. Some
of us go every year- you want to join us?
M-Cn But… isn’t it too late to get tickets?
W-Am Well, the way it works is… about six
o’clock on Friday, people start lining up in
the park. We all bring something to sit on –
and food – so the wait’s not bad. As long
as you’re at the park close to six, you’ll get a ticket – but you have to
be there to get one.
M-Cn OK – I think I can get there by six. Count me in!
Questions 50 through 52 to refer to the
following conversation.
I appreciate you coming to my
apartment at such short notice, Javi.
Come in. I'll show you where the water
is dripping down from the ceiling. It
looks pretty bad.
Ah I see. That is a problem. When did
you say the leak started?
Well, there was a puddle of water on the
bathroom floor when I woke up this
morning so it must have started in the
middle of the night. I'm not sure if it's
from all this heavy rain we've been
getting lately or from a broken pipe
At this point your guess is as good as
mine. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to
cut a hole in your ceiling to figure it
out.

Questions 53 through 55 refer to the


following conversation.
Hello. I'm calling because I'd like to
temporarily stop my mail delivery. I'm
going to be out of town for the next 2
weeks.
Certainly. We can hold your mail here at the post office for you, but
you’ll need to put in your request at least a day before you leave.
That sounds great. Do I need to come into the office and complete a
form?
No actually, you have to submit a whole mail form on our website.
Questions 56 through 58 refer to the
following conversation.
W-Am Hello, Oscar-it’s Tanya from the
Cardona Museum. Unfortunately our
budget’s been cut, so we’ll have to delay
some of the renovations we’ve asked you
to do.
M-Au Ah, that’s too bad. Do you know
which parts of the project you’d like to put
off?
W-Am Well, I know we talked about adding
a library wing on the west side of the
building – but that’s very expensive. So, if
we don’t make that addition, that’s all we
may need to cut.
M-Au You know, that’s not a bad idea. Let’s
see how much you’d save if I take the
library out of the renovation proposal. I’ll e-mail you a revised estimate
this afternoon.

Questions 59 through 61 refer to the


following conversation.
M-Au Hi, Barbara. Nice to run into you!
We’ve missed you since you left Allen Real
Estate.
W-Br Kevin! Yes, it’s been a while. That was
a big decision, to change companies. But I
like my new job a lot.
M-Au That’s great. How’s the work different
from what you did with us?
W-Br Well-I only handle commercial
properties now. But I like being able to
focus on one area.
M-Au Hey… I just had an idea. I’m
organizing the annual meeting for the
Real Estate Association this August, and
I’m sure everyone would like to hear you
speak about your career move.
W-Br I’d be happy to! Here’s my business
card -just let me know the details.

Question 62 through 64 refer to the


following conversation and coupon.
W-Br Excuse me, (62) l need to replace
the color ink in my printer, but I see only
black ink cartridges on the shelf. Do you have color cartridges?
M-Au (63) 0h, we just reorganized that part of the store. You’ll find the
color ink on the other side of the aisle. I’ll show you.
W-Br OK, great. And I brought this discount coupon with me. It’s valid
for Hinton printer cartridges too, right?
M-Au Yes, we accept those coupons. Just make sure you give it to the
cashier when you get to the checkout counter.

Question 65 through 67 referred to the


following conversation.
M-Cn Hi, Julie. How’s the recruitment project going? What progress
has been made in finding new employees?
W-Am Well, on Tuesday I met with department managers to talk about
what kinds of skills they’d like new team members to have. Now I’m
adding this information to the job descriptions and will be posting
them soon.
M-Cn Great. The sooner you can advertise the available positions, the
better. We’ve taken on so many new clients recently that we’ll need
more staff to complete all the work.
Question 68 through 70 referred to the
following conversation.
M-Au Hello, I’d like to register for this year’s
garden show. I think it’ll be a good way to
market my landscaping business.
W-Br I’m sure it will be! We have four types
of vendor booths. I suggest one of the “Elite”
locations.
M-Au Hmm, those are the most expensive,
right? But I will take one of the spots
directly across from the food court. I’m
guessing there’ll be a lot of foot traffic there.
Do I need to pay now?
W-Br Just a deposit. And I’ll give you an
information packet in case you have other
questions.

Questions 95 through 97:


Good morning and thanks for inviting me to
this board meeting. You asked me to find
ways for our company to become more
environmentally friendly, so here's what I
came up with. Here are four options for
desktop management software. After
business hours, when most computers are
not in use, these programs will
automatically turn off our computers,
saving costs and energy. All are compatible
with the hardware we use, and the projected savings are comparable
for all four software systems. However, only one has a system for
backing up data in an emergency. So that's the one I recommend.
