started selling last month first of all

when it came to color black was the

number one seller it’s followed by white

and sky blue yellow didn’t sell very

well so yellow was a dud well what about

the size bigger bags sold more than

smaller ones bags that could fit a

magazine or a regular letter sized

notebook in them where the most popular

okay regarding handles leather was more

popular than ones made with a metal

chain I see it looks like bags with a

more formal style sell better that’s

colors such as beige or brown for our

let me start by explaining our clubs

different membership options as

described in this brochure regular

members can use the gym in the pool at

any time on any day of the week but we

also offer early-morning memberships

where people can use the facilities only

in the early morning and night

memberships for people who only want to

come in the evening what are the hours

for early morning members early morning

members can use the facilities from 6

a.m. to 10 a.m. and night members can

use them from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. I see so

early morning members can stop by and

use the facilities on their way to work

exactly the early morning type is

popular among people with nine-to-five

jobs and we also offer memberships just

for the gym or just for the pool if you

only want to use one of those I want to

use both the gym and the pool I think

I’ll use the gym in the early morning

before going to work on weekdays and

then use the pool on the weekend if you

have a membership that covers something

like early mornings for the weekdays but

all day on the weekend we’re sorry but

we don’t offer a membership like that

sir okay I don’t think I can get up that

early on the weekend so I’ll choose this

membership option a man is joining a

sports club and getting information on

its policies what type of membership

will he choose let me start by

explaining our clubs different

membership options as described in this

brochure regular members can use the gym

in the pool at any time on any day of

the week but we also offer early morning

memberships where people can use the

facilities only in the early morning and

night memberships for people who only

want to come in the evening what are the

hours for early morning members early

morning members can use the facilities

from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and night members

can use them from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. I

see so early morning members can stop by

and use the facilities on their way to

work exactly the early morning type is

popular among people with 9 to 5 jobs

and we also offer memberships just for

the gym or just for the pool if you only

want to use one of those I want to use

both the gym and the pool I think I’ll

use the gym in the early morning before

going to work on weekdays and then use

the pool on the weekend if you have a

membership that covered

something like early mornings for the

weekdays but all day on the weekend

we’re sorry but we don’t offer a

membership like that sir

okay I don’t think I can get up that

early on the weekend so I’ll choose this

membership option we decided to launch

the new product on October 15th and we’d

like to offer you the contract to make

the brochure thank you so much we’re

definitely excited about helping you

with this project so could you tell us a

bit about the schedule

when will you need everything by well

considering the time needed for printing

we’d like to get the brochures to the

printing stage by the end of September

so would it be possible for you to get

us the first design draft by the middle

of August well we’d like to give you

three design options for the initial

draft and then have you choose the one

which best fits your concept then we’ll

make the final design based on your

choice so it’ll be very helpful if you

could give us two more weeks to prepare

for this stage hmm okay maybe one month

works for an outsourced printing company

about a brochure for a new product when

launch the new product on October 15th

and we’d like to offer you the contract

to make the brochure thank you so much

you with this project so could you tell

us a bit about the schedule when will

you need everything bye well considering

the time needed for printing we’d like

to get the brochures to the printing

stage by the end of September so would

it be possible for you to get us the

first design draft by the middle of

August

well we’d like to give you three design

options for the initial draft and then

have you choose the one which best fits

your concept then we’ll make the final

design based on your choice so it’ll be

very helpful if you could give us two

more weeks to prepare for this stage hmm

hmm but the pine hotel is far from the

beach and from downtown and it says you

sunrise hotel it usually costs a hundred

forty dollars a night but now they’re

running a promotion and we can stay one

night for $90 it’s between the beach and

downtown plus it has free Wi-Fi sounds

sections four people will be seated in

and pads of paper on each table thank

at the beginning of the session so we

need a projector here all right

also we’re going to use a whiteboard

aren’t we is it okay if I put the

whiteboard next to the screen

well how about putting the whiteboard at

the other end of the room that makes

sense after the meeting we need to put

everything back where it was in four

rows of two tables per row a man and a

woman are talking about the layout of a

meeting room

how are they going to arrange the tables

let’s move the tables for tomorrow’s

rows of two tables per row every month

you need to check our office supplies

and order any items that are running low

this time let’s take a look at them

together here’s the checklist okay that

sounds good well starting with the paper

it looks like there’s only one box left

we use lots of paper every day so let’s

order two more boxes

okay the printer is out of color ink

should we order that we don’t really

print documents in color so we don’t

need to worry about that hmm okay looks

like these whiteboard markers are

running out of ink right those need to

be replaced we get a discount if we

order them in sets of five so let’s do

that okay and while we’re at it can we

order a mouse sometimes it works but

sometimes it doesn’t that’s probably

because it’s running out of batteries

let’s check the stock of batteries and

order more if we don’t have many left

sure well we have three batteries here

you can take two of these for your mouse

but buy a six pack of batteries to

replace them a man and a woman are

talking about office supplies what will

the man order every month you need to

check our office supplies and order any

items that are running low this time

let’s take a look at them together

here’s the checklist Oh

okay that sounds good well starting with

so let’s order two more boxes okay

the printer is out of color ink should

stock of batteries in order more if we

don’t have many left sure well we have

three batteries here you can take two of

these for your mouse but buy a six pack

of batteries to replace them excuse me I

need to go to the airport would you tell

me how to get there sure there are a few

ways if you take bus number one it takes

about one and a half hours to the

airport it’s the least expensive way bus

number two is a non-stop bus it’s more

expensive and leaves once every hour but

it only takes 50 minutes I see what

about taxis there’s a taxi stand in

front of the building and they take

about an hour but they use the

expressway and charge extra for a lot of

luggage so it’s going to be a lot more

expensive than the bus I guess that

makes sense and I’d like to avoid paying

too much you didn’t by chance buy

anything at shopping world while you

were here they offer complimentary

shuttle service to the airport for

customers who make a purchase there wow

I didn’t know that I haven’t bought

anything yet but I was going to stop by

and get some souvenirs there anyway then

you can use that a woman is asking for

directions to the airport at an

information center

what kind of trip will you be taking I’m

going scuba diving since I’ll be

bringing all my own equipment I’m a bit

worried about getting it stolen very

smart of you insurance against theft is

included in all of our plans since scuba

diving equipment is an unusual type of

baggage only plan a can cover it though

alternatively you can get insurance

specifically for scuba diving equipment

and add it to other plans plan a is the

most expensive one right what’s the

difference between plan B and Plan C

okay for example if you happen to stay

in a hospital abroad

Plan B covers flight tickets for your

family to visit you but Plan C doesn’t I

see if I get the SPECIAL contract or

scuba diving equipment and add it to

Plan B or Plan C would it be more

expensive than plan a with Plan B that

would make it a little more expensive

but with Plan C it would be less

expensive okay by the way is there any

plan that’s cheaper than Plan C yes we

have plan D but it doesn’t cover

accomodation if your flight gets delayed

or cancelled so we don’t recommend this

plan got it I agree that I need coverage

but I don’t think I need coverage for

family plane tickets so I’ll take this

plan and combine it with the insurance

for scuba diving equipment a man is

choosing an insurance plan which plan is

he going to sign up for what kind of

trip will you be taking I’m going scuba

diving since I’ll be bringing all my own

equipment I’m a bit worried about

getting it stolen very smart of you

insurance against theft is included in

last week we asked 200 employees to

answer a questionnaire about their

fitness habits the focus of this

questionnaire was on how many hours they

exercise each week did you tally up the

results for the a and B branches

separately yes and employees had four

options

less than an hour around one to two

hours around three to five hours and six

hours or more here are the results so

employees in both branches answered

about one to two hours the most looks

like they’re exercising about once a

week yes and after that employees in the

a branch were most likely to answer

about three to five hours while in the B

branch the next most common answer was

less than an hour hmm not even ten

percent of employees at the B branch

exercised more than six hours that’s

right

so I was thinking we could organize

weekly sports events there that anybody

could casually join that’s a good idea

it did give employees a good chance to

socialize - I’ll leave it to you thank

you I’ll take care of it

a woman is reporting to her boss about

the results of a questionnaire which

graph represents the employees from the

B branch last week we asked 200

employees to answer a questionnaire

this questionnaire was on how many hours

they exercise each week did you tally up

the results for the a and B branches

it did give employees a good chance to

socialize too I’ll leave it to you thank

you I’ll take care of it

some activity and write a report about

it for clefts we can choose anything

right what are you going to do I haven’t

made up my mind yet what about you I

haven’t decided yet either

I’m interested in environmental issues

so I’m looking for something in a nature

conservation group I see

so you want to go and pick up trash off

of the ground well that’d be okay

actually but I’m looking for a group

activity I want to learn more about a

leadership role in this kind of

organization as well if possible you

know I have a friend who helps out with

a group that plants trees with kids are

you interested in that kind of thing

yeah that sounds good thanks it’d also

be a great opportunity to interact with

children do you want to do this too

maybe but I’d like to try something a

bit more people focused you know like

helping elderly or disabled people oh my

mother is helping out at the local

Senior Center would that be interesting

to you yes that sounds great a male

student and a female student are talking

about volunteer activities which

activities are they going to take part

this new cheesy bread isn’t selling well

is it

no we placed it on the top shelf though

hmm maybe it’s too high for some people

they probably can’t see it then let’s

put it on the middle shelf sounds good

they’ll see it when they first come into

the store and why don’t we put a red

cloth on this shelf so that they know

it’s our new bread all right then we’ll

have to move the croissants to somewhere

else

top or bottom why don’t we put our

regular items on the top shelf they’ll

sell well even if they’re not easy to

spot that has to be the French bread

then let’s put it in a basket

so it’ll stand out good idea now the

croissants have to be on the bottom okay

how does it look

looks good let’s see how it goes for a

week and then decide if we need to make

any adjustments to bakers are talking

how are they going to display their

bread

this new cheesy bread isn’t selling well
