[pause] One: Why does the woman want the job? [pause] Woman: I’m applying for that job in the Marketing Department, I’m tired of going all the way to Head Office every day!

[pause] Two: When is the trade fair? [pause] Next year’s trade fair in Milan, usually the first week of June, is now on June the twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh.

[pause] Four: Which chart shows this year’s sales? [pause] Man: Looking at our main markets, Asia now represents fifty per cent of all sales.

There ‘s a real problem with production at this plant. Over the last two years we’ve increased our investment in it considerably- here, see? Woman: Mm, that’s true. Man: And yet production continues at the same level … Woman: You’re right. There’s been no fall in production, but there should be a rise – and there isn’t. [pause] Eight: What’s the problem with the seminar? [pause] Woman: Dan. Man: Yes. Woman: Um, slight problem with the time management seminar next week.

What happened – train late again? Man: It was, but only by a few minutes. According to my diary, we’re not starting till eleven. Woman: We were, but I’ve got to fly out to the Tokyo office on urgent business this afternoon, so we had to bring the meeting forward. Man: Well, no-one told me … [pause] Two: Why is Timtex performing badly? [pause] Woman: Timtex isn’t doing too well, is it? I see profits are right down again. Man: Mm. Well, at the moment the market’s sharply divided between those who want fashionable clothing, even though it costs a lot, and those who want to pay as little as possible.

Woman: It’s too expensive for our budget … somewhere like the conference center is more suitable – it’s fully booked though. Man: And everyone complained about the Trade Club last year … Woman: OK, well maybe we should spend more on the venue this year. Let’s go with your idea. [pause] Five: What does the successful business produce? [pause] Woman: These articles about new business are interesting. Man: Especially the one about the woman whose company sells a game she invented herself. Woman: Mm. She’s doing really well. The one that made soft drinks failed within six months. Man: Yes. And the people publishing the magazine did well at first, but then they couldn’t find any more investors. Woman: Pity. Seemed a good idea. [pause] Six: In which department does Ben work now? [pause] Woman: Hello Karl! How are you? Man: I’m fine thanks. How are things at the company? Woman: Oh, there have been so many changes since you left! Man: I hear Ben’s moved? Woman: Yes … they needed someone with an engineering qualification in Marketing, so they transferred him there. Man: Who’s replaced him in Sales then? Woman: No-one yet! [pause] Seven: Which chart shows the bank’s current network of branches? [pause] Man: … at the moment a quarter of the bank’s branches are in Europe, and a third in Asia. The rest of their business is, of course, in the States. But today’s news is that they’re planning to close some US branches … [pause] Eight: What do they still need to put in the hall? [pause] Man: I’ve just been over the hall to check the arrangements for the shareholders’ meeting. Woman: Is everything set up OK? Man: Almost. They haven’t got the microphone in yet. Everything else was all right though … the OHP was there … Woman: What about the video player? Man: Oh, we changed our minds about that, so I didn’t book one in the end.
