a woman is giving a report about the
sales of bags
which bag is selling best
here’s a report on the bags that we
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 size
notebook in them were 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 right i think we should use more
neutral colors
such as beige or brown for our new
collection
okay then let’s go with the beige for
the next new color
you can stop the production of yellow
bags
got it

four sections

a man and a woman are talking about
office supplies
what will the man order
[Music]
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
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 woman is asking for directions to the
airport at an information center
how is she going to get to the airport
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 man is choosing an insurance plan
which plan is he going to sign up for
[Music]
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 contractor 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
accommodation
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
which plan is he going to sign up for

a woman is reporting to her boss about
the results of a questionnaire
which graph represents the employees
from the b
branch
[Music]
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 10 percent of employees at the
b branch exercise 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’d give employees a
good chance to socialize too
i’ll leave it to you thank you i’ll take
care of it

conservation group
i see so you want to go and pick up
trash off of the ground

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

two bakers are talking how are they
going to display their bread
[Music]
this new cheesy bread isn’t selling well
is it
no we placed it on the top shelf though
um 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
