【正文】 Seems a good idea. Man: We don39。t need to inform our clients, but could you send a note round to all our departments when we39。ve decided who to replace the supplier with? Woman: Yes, of course. [pause] The answer is A. Now we are ready to start. After you have listened once, replay each recording. [pause] One: When will the next meeting be? [pause] Man: Hi, Sarah, John here. Woman: Morning. Man: Can we fix a meeting next week to discuss the report you gave me?... I39。m out of the office until Wednesday the twentythird, so how about Thursday the twentyfourth at ten? Woman: Hmm. The morning of the twentyfifth would be better... Man: Sorry, I39。m already booked then. Woman: OK then, Thursday it is.[pause] Two: Which of the goods were delivered? [pause] Woman: Office Wholesalers. Man: Hello, it39。s Mark here from Greens Office Suppliesit39。s about our order. We ordered one thousand folders and five hundred pens and the same number of pencils. They were supposed to be delivered this morning, but we39。re still waiting for the pens and the folders. Woman: Oh, I39。m sorry. The other items will be sent out this afternoon, though. We only got them in about an hour ago. Man: Thanks. [pause] Three: Why is the man apologising? [pause] Man: Morning, Nicky. Did you tell the others that I39。d be late? Train again... Woman: Where39。s the report you were going to leave me? It39。s missing, and I need to read it before the meeting. Man: Oh, Mike asked for it, so I passed it to him. Woman: But that was confidential information! Man: Oh, I didn39。t realise. I39。m sorry. I promise it won39。t happen again. [pause] Four: What is the cover of the new brochure like? [pause] Man: Have you seen the design for the cover of the new brochure? Woman: Yes, I have. Man: What39。s it like? Woman: It39。s just a world map. Man: Nothing exciting, then? Woman: Well, it39。s better than last year39。s, with that photo of head office! Man: And the pany name in big letters along the top. Woman: That runs down the side of the cover this time much more original! [pause] Five: Which chart is correct? [pause] Man: And here are the numbers of hours lost to staff illness. As expected, January was our worst month, with many people off sick. February wasn39。t too bad。 only half as many hours lost. March was excellent, but April was disappointing. [pause] Six: What are the staff still forgetting to do with pany cars? [pause] Man: . . . and I see there are still problems with staff borrowing pany cars! Woman: I sent out memos reminding them to write down how far they39。d driven. Man: Mmm, that39。s fine now. I wanted a car for an important trip last week, though, and there was no fuel in it. Staff know they mustn39。t leave cars empty. But at least they do tidy up inside them noW. [pause] Seven: What do the speakers say about Esther Wong? [pause] Man: Do you know who got the Project Manager post? Woman: No idea. But I know Esther Wong was turned down. Man: That39。s a surprise... She39。s the most senior person in the department, isn39。t she? Woman: Yes. She certainly expected to get it she39。s actually given in her notice because she thought it was unfair. Man: Oh well... She won39。t have much trouble finding something else. [pause] Eight: Which chart is the speaker talking about? [pause] Man: We invested heavily in production, as we had to update the factory. We put about a quarter of our investment into a strong marketing campaign, which was supported by a slightly larger investment in the sales team. [pause] That is the end of Part One.
