<41–43>

M:  Hi, I lost my cell phone in the front lobby this afternoon right after I checked in.

W: I’m sorry, sir. Unfortunately, we haven’t seen one.

M:  Okay, well, I’m staying in room 918. If you hear anything, would you please let me know?

W: Will do. Let me call the security office and see if they know anything about it.

 

 

<44–46>

M:  Jodie, I e-mail you yesterday about Jim Smith’s retirement party tomorrow. Do you think you can help me set it up?

W: Yes. The only problem is that I have a meeting until 5 o’clock. I can’t get out early because I’m presenting my project at the meeting.

M:  No problem. The party doesn’t start until 7 o’clock, so we’ll have plenty of time to set up the tables and chairs.

 

 

<47–49>

W: This is the registration desk. May I help you?

M:  Hi. I was calling to reschedule an appointment I have with Dr. Goto on June 13.

W: Have you been a patient here at the Mara Clinic before, sir?

M:  Yes, just once. I saw Dr. Hanson at the end of last year. I think it was in December.

 

 

<50–52>

M:  I need to make 30 copies of this flyer for the book sale on Thursday, but the copying machine is broken again.

W: Well, it’s only Monday. Maybe we can get it repaired before then.

M:  I think it’s beyond repair. I think we need a new one.

W: How about if I call Tom in the purchasing office to see if he’ll approve a purchase order for a new machine?

 

 

<53–55>

M:  I heard that Fran retired last week. Are they planning to hire anyone to take her place?

W: I hope so. We’re already understaffed, and the contract we got yesterday will mean more work.

M:  I agree. Maybe they can move someone from the merchandising office over here.

 

 

 

<56–58>

M:  Now that my business is expanding, the office is starting to seem too small. I’ve started looking for a new place to rent.

W: Have you looked at the area around the train station? There are some business properties that are being renovated there.

M:  That’s a good idea. I’ll look over there tomorrow.

W: According to the weather forecast, tomorrow should be a nice day to walk around.

M:  OK. Then once I look over the statement form the board, we should be all set.

 

 

<65-67>

W: Has the sink in lab 2 been repaired yet?

M:  No. I talked to the plumber yesterday, and he said he wouldn’t get here to fix it until Friday.

W: But it’s only Tuesday! What are we supposed to do in the meantime?

M:  I think we can shift some of the test work into labs 1 and 4 if we need to. The space will be tight with the extra workers, but at least we can run all the scheduled analyses.

M:  Sarah, our regular shipper has raised its rates considerably. Would you have time to do a cost comparison of other shipping companies?

M:  Oh, by the end of the week is fine. I’m hoping we can present our findings at Monday’s meeting and persuade the managers that we could save money by changing shipping companies.

W: OK, after I’ve finished with the boxes, I’ll see what I can find out about the shipping prices at other places.

Hi, Mr. Brown. This is Stacy Jackson from MacDougall’s Bookstore. I’m calling at 2 o’clock on Thursday, and I just wanted to let you know that the book on printmaking you ordered has come in.

Welcome to New Employee Orientation. Here’s what we’re doing today. First, you’ll each get an employee identification badge. Then we’ll take a tour of the facility. The folder in front of you contains a map of the building. Please refer to the map during the tour. There are also some forms in the folder for you to complete. After the tour, we’ll all have lunch together in the cafeteria. If you get separated from the tour, just meet us at the cafeteria at noon. Again, refer to the map in your folder if you need help finding anything. After lunch, your supervisors will show you to your specific workstation. And if you’re wondering when you’ll finally submit all of your paperwork, it’s after lunch, when you meet with your supervisors.

Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for coming tonight to celebrate the opening of the Peabody Wing of the Green Valley Science Museum. I’d like to hand the microphone over to a very important person, Mr. James Lawry, architect and designer of the Peabody Wing. Mr. Lawry is known world-wide for his innovative design concepts and practical style. We can certainly see that here. He has given us a state-of-the-art, user-friendly space in which to feature our special interactive science exhibits. In fact, next month we will feature our first exhibit, “Astronomy in Focus.” Please join me in welcoming Mr. James Lawry.

The Sidney Eagles would like to thank all of you for supporting us this season. At this time, we’d like to remind our fans that tickets are still available for tomorrow night’s game against the Rutherford Panthers. Come back and cheer for your Sidney Eagles as they play for the title of Pacific Conference champions. To purchase tickets, visit the ticket office on your way out of the stadium. Remember that the first 500 ticket-holders to arrive at tomorrow’s game will receive Sidney Eagles T-shirts paid for by Sharma’s Sporting Goods, our sponsors for tomorrow’s night’s game. Sharma invites you to visit any of their convenient store locations for all your athletic clothing needs. Gates open one hour before the start of the game. We’ll see you then!

 

 

<92–94>

As you know, last year we decided to add coffee shops to our larger stores. Now people linger at the stores and buy more housewares and furniture after they’ve eaten. On Monday, I received our sales figures, and I am pleased to report that our sales in London and New York have increased by 20 percent. However, in the Paris store, sales have had no change. We’re not sure exactly why, but this may be due to the unusually warm weather, which began about two weeks ago. So we’ve decided to try marketing some cold beverages there to lure people into the store.

 

 

<95–97>

Thank you for the generous introduction, Mr. Park. I am delighted to be here tonight to receive this prestigious award. I have been an avid reader since my childhood, but my interest in writing didn’t start until I was at university when I wrote for a campus newspaper. At around the same time, I started writing short stories as a hobby. I never imagined that my hobby would turn into a career! If Mr. Oberly, my agent, hadn’t encouraged me to submit my writing to publishers ten years ago, I wouldn’t be standing here today; so, Mr. Oberly, thank you. I couldn’t have asked for a better agent. I would also like to thank all of my readers – I will continue to share my stories with you.

I’m Alan Lam and you’re listening to Business Today on HK Radio One. Results of the National Manufacturers’ Association’s annual survey were released today. Nearly three out of four survey respondents indicated that having high-quality employees is the factor most critical to their success. The second most commonly selected factor was new product innovation. Most respondents noted that they must create innovative products in order to compete in the global marketplace. Surprisingly, low-cost production ranked third in the survey; in the past, this has been the number one response, with manufacturers placing an emphasis on inexpensive operations. Now, it appears, executives are hoping to have high-quality employees and be innovative, too.
