Questions 71-73 refer to the following talk.
Before we start the meeting, I think that all of you on the Boston sales staff will be sad to hear that Ally Patson is retiring. As our representative in France for the last fifteen years, she’s really done a great job. I guess you only know Ally and
our European representatives as voices on the phone, but I’ve met her at our European conferences and she’s really a pleasure to spend time with; she’s certainly helped build our sales numbers as well. Anyway, she’ll stay on until the
end of the month, so If you get a chance, give her a call or send her an e-mail.
Questions 74-76.

This is Nancy Dejhos, the manager of May Boutiques. I ordered fifty hats from you in October, but they didn’t arrive until November twenty-sixth. It’s unlikely that I will be able to sell them all as I planned during this holiday season. (...)

Good morning. Thank you for coming here on such short notice. As you know, we recently proposed a contract to manufacture our air-cleaning brand, Room Air Filters, for government office buildings. The Government purchasing office has informed us however, that the terms of the contract have changes. Now we must submit a revised proposal in a week. First let me pass around copies of the outlined changes to the contract. Then I’d like to invite everyone to comment on the changes that we will need to make in order to meet the new requirements.
Questions 83-85.
Hello, and welcome to today’s workshop. Today’s objectives include learning how to put together our new Z-12 fax printer machine combination. We’ll start our session by revisiting some issues we discussed yesterday after we watched the training video about each of the components of the machine. By the way, you should make sure that you understand the procedures we saw yesterday clearly, since it is you that will be training our assemblers in various countries. Now, before we start, let’s have a look at the triangulated manual you should have on the assembly table.

It’s my pleasure to announce the upcoming opening of the new Finale Automotive Parts Factory here in Atlanta. As vice-president in charge of expansion, I can’t tell you how excited I am. We’ll open the factory in late March and initially we’ll hire about 200 people, and then sometime late next year we will probably add another 150 to our staff. We've come a long way from our beginnings as a small plant in Seattle to where we are today, with plants in Los Angeles, Dallas and soon here in Atlanta. We look forward to becoming a part of the neighborhood.
Questions 98-100.
Good morning. My name is Lina and I’ll be your guide today. It’s now 8:45 and we’ll be starting our tour of the galleries at 9:00. But before we begin, I have some announcements to make. We don’t allow visitors to take pictures of the art-
work or use video equipment inside the exhibits. The guided part of the tour will end at noon, but you will have one hour afterwards to explore on your own and visit our gift shop before your bus arrives to pick you up. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I hope you have a wonderful visit.
