TRANSCRIPTS
Questions 41-43 refer to the following conversation
W: Are you all set for our meeting with Mr. Boswell today, Ben?
M: I completely forgot! What time are we supposed to be seeing him?
W: Well, I’ve booked conference room 2 for 3 P.M. You’re free then, right? Mr. Boswell’s a very important client who has been with the company for over 5 years. We can’t afford to waste his time.
M: I’ll clear my schedule for the rest of the day to prepare for the meeting. Thanks for
reminding me.
Questions 44-46 refer to the following conversation
W1: Hello. I’d like to get this prescription filled, please.
W2: Sure. That’ll be $5.50. We’ll have it ready for you in a couple of minutes.
W1: Okay, I think my doctor told me I should take the pills twice daily. Is that correct?
W2: No, take one pill three times a day. It’s best to take them after meals so that you can digest them more quickly. There are dosage directions on the packet in case you forget.
Questions 47-49 refer to the following conversation
W: Hello, Mr. Chalmers. You wanted to see me?
M: Yes, Anna. Take a seat. I want to offer you the chance to run your very own project. We’ve been contracted to do some market research on laptop computers, and I want you to be in charge of it.
W: Wow! Thank you so much for the opportunity, Mr. Chalmers. I won’t let you down! When do you want me to get started?
M: Well, we’ll hold a team briefing session tomorrow. I'll send you some details about the project this afternoon so you can do your own research beforehand.
Questions 50-52 refer to the following conversation
W: I’m so sick of the food at the employee cafeteria. It always tastes terrible. I bought a sandwich there today and it wasn’t fresh at all.
M: Oh, I know. I never eat at that place. I make my own lunch at home in the morning and bring it in to work. You have some spare time in the mornings, right? You should try doing it, too.
W: Yes, but I’m so disorganized. I'll probably just end up eating out at local restaurants instead. Unfortunately, that will be much more expensive.
Questions 53-55 refer to the following conversation
M: Is there something wrong with the fax machine? Bill from the London branch has been trying to fax some papers to me but it doesn’t seem to be working.
W: Yes, I’m afraid there’s some paper jammed in the machine so it can’t print anything out. The repairman is coming to fix it soon. In the meantime, just tell Bill to send the fax to the machine in reception instead.
M: Great idea! I forgot that there was another one down there. Do you know the number?
W: No, you’ll have to go down and check for yourself.
Questions 56-58 refer to the following conversation
M: My vehicle was in a light crash last week and the collision scratched the paintwork a little. It just needs a quick touch-up.
W: That shouldn’t be too hard to fix. Do you want us to check the rest of the vehicle for damage? Even small crashes can cause problems internally with the smaller components.
M: Yes, I guess that would be a good idea. Honestly, though, I haven’t noticed anything different about the car when I’ve been driving.
W: Okay. That’s a good sign, but we’ll examine it carefully just to be sure.
Questions 59-61 refer to the following conversation
W: This is Rosemary Warren from Nelson Realtors. I’m returning your call from this morning.
M: Hi Rosemary. Yes, I was calling to ask if you know of any good apartments to rent in the neighborhood. The lease is nearly up on the place we’re currently staying in, and we’re looking for something a bit bigger. Are there any 3-bedroom units available?
W: Yes, I think I have just the place for you. Come to my office this afternoon and I’ll show you around the property. My office is located uptown, so you might have trouble finding a parking space on the street. Try parking in the lot at Winstone shopping mall across the road.
Questions 62-64 refer to the following conversation
W: Hi, I’m calling to report a problem with my television cable service.
M: Sure, ma’am. What seems to be the matter?
W: I had cable installed a few weeks ago and the reception has recently become very fuzzy. I thought it might be a problem with my home entertainment system, so I got an electrician to take a look at it. He said I should call your company.
W: Well, okay then. There was a big storm a couple of nights ago. That could be what is causing the interference. I’ll send one of our technicians to your place to check on the problem.
Questions 65-67 refer to the following conversation
W: Have you heard the weather forecast for this weekend?
M: I think it’s supposed to be sunny most of the time, with a few showers on Sunday...
