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

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 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

sunrise hotel it usually costs a hundred
forty dollars a night but now they’re
running a promotion and we can stay one

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

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

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

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

of the ground well that’d be okay

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

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

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
