the facilities from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m.

once an hour it’s a little bit more
expensive

motorway and they charge extra for large
luggage oh I didn’t expect that it’s too

a man is choosing a travel insurance
plan which plan will you sign up for
[Music]
what kind of trip is it this time the
main purpose is scuba diving as I’m
going to take my own equipment I’m
worried about it being stolen while I’m
traveling I see burglary insurances
included in all of our plans but since
scuba diving equipment is a special type
of baggage only plan a can cover it
however you can have extra coverage to
the other plans to cover the scuba
diving equipment plan a is the most
expensive one isn’t it what’s the
difference between plans B and C one
difference is that if you have an
accident and have to stay in a hospital
while you are abroad
Plan B will cover the price of the plane
tickets for your family to visit you
Plan C doesn’t have this I see if I add
the extra coverage for the scuba diving
equipment to plan B or C would they be
more expensive than plan a Asst plan B
would be a little more expensive than
plan a but Plan C would be a little
cheaper okay by the way do you have a
plan is cheaper than Plan C yes we have
a plan D however plan D doesn’t cover
any refund of accommodation costs in the
event of your flight being delayed or
cancelled so we don’t recommend it I see
I agree that coverage is important but I
don’t think I need the coverage for the
plane tickets for my family okay
I’ll take the other plan with the
special coverage added
which plan we’ll sign up for

a woman is reporting to her boss about
the results of a questionnaire which
graph best represents the answers of the
branch B employees last week we asked
200 employees to answer a questionnaire
about their fitness habits they were
asked about how many hours they exercise
each week and this is a result did you
tally up the results of branch a and B
separately yes we had four options less
than an hour
around one to two hours around three to
five hours and six hours or more ah the
most popular answer for both branches
was about one to two hours it looks like
they’re exercising about once a week yes
however the second most popular option
for branch a was about 3 to 5 hours and
for branch B it was less than an hour
hmm
not even 10 percent of employees at
branch B on said that they exercised for
more than 6 hours

anyone can join that’s a good idea it’ll
give the employees a good chance to
interact with each other too I’ll leave
the organization to you all right I’ll

a supermarket manager is speaking to an
employee how are they going to arrange
the bread display our new cheese breads
aren’t selling very well are they no
maybe because they’re on a top shelf
yes maybe it’s too high for old people
they probably can’t even see them so how
about putting them on the middle shelf
that sounds good
the customers will see the cheese bread
when they first come into the store and
why don’t we put a red gloss on the
Shelf too so that everyone knows it’s a
new line alright that means that we’ll
have to move the class on somewhere else
top or bottom I think that we should put
the most popular item on the top shelf
as it will sell even if it isn’t easy to
spot that would be the French loaf then
and how about placing them in baskets so
that they stand out good idea let’s do
that so in that case the questions have
to be on the bottom shelf can you change
the display how does it look looks good
let’s see if this makes an effect on
this week sales

a man and a woman are talking about
banks which Bank is the woman going to
choose I’m thinking about opening a new
bank account because I’m starting a
part-time job which bank do you think is
good well it would depend on what you’re
looking for for example both Bank a and
Bank B have many branches and cash
machines so you might find it more
convenient to do transactions with them
but Bank a will charge me every time I
use their cash machine Bank B will allow
me to use their cash machine at no
charge during the day on weekdays I see
talking about cash machine fees Bank C
is always free of charge although they
don’t have that many machines alright
but I don’t like the fact that they
don’t have many cash machines Oh Bank D
is the best when it comes to high
interest rates are they but I’m planning
to use this bank account purely for the
money I’m making from the part time job
so I’m not planning to put a lot of
money in it then you should choose the
bank with a lot of cash machines and low
charges okay thanks for your advice

perfect plan a woman working for the
design division is talking with her
colleague from the R&D team choose the
correct product packages we would like
you to design packaging for our new
chocolate products we are planning a
dual product launch one is a sweet
chocolate containing 30 percent cacao
the other is a bittersweet one with 80
percent cacao I see so do we want the 30
percent and 80 percent lettering to
stand out yes maybe we can have them in
the center of the package or use
different colors all right for the sweet
chocolates how about using a red box
with black letters saying 30% and for
the bittersweet one we can use a black
box with red letters saying 80% right
well how about using gold letters for
both I think that would better show the
luxurious image we’re aiming for
good idea I think we should also frame
the letters with a white border to make
them clearer as for the layout design
would it be okay to say cacao on the
upper left then a picture of the
chocolate in the center and the cacao
percentage on the lower right yes and
please use a bigger font for the
percentage I would also like it to be
written using a different font style
from the product name and make sure to
make it bold got it we will send you an
email when the packages are ready when
do you need them by if possible can you
please make them by the end of this week

our best coffee shop staff are talking
about their sales choose the graph that
they are looking at we had good sales
from December to February yes the
limited edition items works out very
well but I’m sorry that the new product
launched in March didn’t sell well and
ended up dragging down the sales for
that month we had slow sales in October
and March in general our sales were
steadily increasing but October sales
were the worst monthly sales in the
second half ah you see we had a
competitor open up their coffee shop in
this neighborhood in October
and they load the way our customers in
the beginning I’m relieved to see that
our customers are coming back now
looking at the gender and age they serve
our customers shows that more than half
of our customers are women in their 20s
and 30s this means that we will have to
come up with some new campaign ideas to
keep those customers coming back
besides our regular coffee products we
can try to offer more sidethis choices
yes but about 20% of our customers are
males in their 20s and 30s so we need to
think of services that will appeal to
them as well I see maybe a free Wi-Fi
service would be good for business men
maybe let’s think about it

a man is making a complaint about
products he bought online what is he
going to exchange yes this is the
customer service line excuse me I just
have my shopping delivered but this is
not what I ordered
we are sorry what exactly is wrong I
ordered a jacket with free buttons but
the one I received only has two buttons
I see that must be the wrong design we
are terribly sorry about that and we’ll
exchange it right away please return it
to us in the original packing and use
the returns label that was included okay
also this sure looks different from the
one I saw on your website this is not
what I expected so I want to return it
as well what is different I thought it
was a t-shirt without a collar but it
turned out to be a polo shirt with a
collar
I see have you already cut the price tag
off yes I have but this is not really
what it appeared to be on the picture
can I still return it sir we do have
this shirt both with and without the
collar our data shows that you selected
the shirt with the collar really then I
must have clicked the wrong item we can
exchange a product as long as the tag is
attached but it’s difficult to do so if
the tag has already been cut off I see
then can you just exchange the jacket
please of course again we are sorry
about the inconvenience
