Part 4 Good afternoon, Mr. Rivera, I’m calling from Millford Limited. (71) Thank you for applying for our marketing director position. We were very impressed with your resume, especially the large amount of experience speaking in public you’ve had at other marketing firms. (72) Public speaking is definitely a requirement for our position. (73) We’d like to invite you to interview with us next week can you please let me know when you’d be available to come to our office? Thanks Part 4 Hi, everyone. This meeting shouldn’t last too long. (74) I just want to go over our company’s plans for the Redgrove marathon that’s happening next month. So, we’ll be sponsoring a food station for the runners and their families. It’s going to be a long race, so (75) Let’s use this opportunity to promote some of our newest protein-bar flavorsthe mint chocolate and berry blast, for example. (76) Leanna, why don’t you oversee the selection of the protein bars for the run? Part 4 You’re listening to Radio 4 London. With me in the studio tonight is (77) Anne Pochon, the well-known French photographer who just recently published her autobiography. Anne spent nearly a decade compiling her personal photographs and memories, which resulted in a handsome, illustrated volume that is available in bookstores now. The autobiography was released at the perfect time. (78) Ms. Pochon’s private collection of photographs was just sold to the Gateway Art Museum, where an exhibition of her work is set to open in June. (79) Anne and I will discuss her career and future plans after a short commercial break Part 4 As you know, the Chemical Industry Convention is coming up in May, and the four of you have been selected to attend. (80) You’ll be participating in demonstrations and workshops promoting our many chemical products. I know this’ll be your first time representing our company, and (81) you’ll probably have questions as you prepare … But remember, we have all the convention information available for you – and I went to the convention last year. Also, (82) when you return from your trip, we’ll ask you to give a presentation to your colleagues on what you learned about our competitors and potential customers Part 4 (83) Welcome to Rockstone Bank. Over the next six weeks, you will complete an internship that aims to teach you the basics of banking. At the end of the internship, you will have the opportunity to apply for a permanent bank teller position. Now, (84) I’d like to introduce our branch manager, Ms. Leah Enfield. (85) Ms. Enfield has worked at Rockstone Bank for 25 years. She willbegin your orientation today with a presentation on our corporate culture, that is, the way we do things here at the bank. Now please join me in welcoming our branch manager, Ms. Leah Enfield Part 4 Hello, and (86) welcome to Coldwell Family Farm! Today at our farm, you’ll have the opportunity to tour the fields and go inside our greenhouses to see a wide variety of flowers. You’ll also hear from our farmers, who will share with you what it takes to grow such fresh, beautiful flowers. (87) But remember that this is an outdoor tour, so please take your hats, sunglasses, and anything else you need to protect yourself from the sun. (88) We’ll end the tour in our farm store, and all of our flowerpots are twenty percent off. Enjoy! Part 4 (89) Thanks for coming to this informal training session. So, this new scheduling software is something all managers will be using from now on. It’s not complicated, but a couple of its features are different from our old scheduling software. I’ve already got it open on my computer, so let’s look at the spreadsheet with employees’ names. First, (90) after entering the hours for an employee, remember to hit Save not Next. You have to save one person’s data before you can enter the next. Oh no, (91) my computer seems to have stopped working. Let me restart it and try again-I’m sorry for this interruption. Part 4 Hi, I’m your host, Nina Hudson, and (92) this is Nibble-the weekly podcast about the history of food. On today’s episode, I’ll be talking about cutlery and other eating utensils-why some cultures primarily use chopsticks to eat and others use forks and knives. But before we get started, (93) I’d like to announce that for the first time ever, Nibble is going to be broadcasting an episode live next month. (94) You can find information about how to be in the studio audience on our Web site. And while you’re there, you can also submit a review of our program to let us know what topics you’d like us to cover in the future. That’ll only take a minute Part 4 Hello, this message is for Howard. (95) I’m calling from the sales department at Evergreen Technology. I was in your print shop just yesterday to order some business cards for my salespeople. Well, (96) I see now that I made a mistake on the number of cards we need for Barbara Reynolds. I’ll actually need to double the order of Barbara’s cards. If that’s not a problem, (97) I’ll stop by the shop tomorrow afternoon to pick up everyone’s cards at the same time Part 4 Hi, Kim. (98) I’m calling about the preparations for opening our new restaurant. (99) I just stopped by the building to check on the dining room renovations, and I was really pleased at how good the place looks. I’ve also checked into merchant service companies that process credit card payments for small businesses, and I sent you a list of the best features that each company offers. There’s one that doesn’t charge for the equipment we need to read the credit cards, so that’s an attractive feature. But (100) another company allows people to pay at the table using their mobile phones. I think customers would really appreciate that convenience, so I suggest using that one Part 3
W-Br Wow, (32) the new wood flooring in our hotel’s
lobby looks really nice. The installation company we hired did a great job. M-Au I know-(33) it was definitely worth closing the hotel for a few days to finish up the renovation. W-Br Yes, it was. Now we need to have the furniture moved back in here. M·Au Right. (34) I’ll call the maintenance department now and ask about that. They should move it this afternoon since we reopen tomorrow Part 3
M-Cn Monica, (35) I wanted to talk to you about our company’s
annual employee appreciation dinner-I’m in charge of planning it this year. I know (36) it was at the Rose Banquet Hall last year … W-Am Yes, it was. But it doesn’t have to be held there. (36) How about that new Italian restaurant in Hillside instead? M-Cn But isn’t that restaurant too far from the office? That might discourage people from coming to the dinner. W-Am I don’t think so. (37) The company always provides shuttle service from the office, so people can take that bus if they don’t want to drive Part 3
W-Br Hi, Ana and Peter. (38) Can you look at this design I created for our store’s new sign? W-Am It’s much better than the current one! I’m glad you made the words larger on the new sign. M-Cn I like it too, but . . (39) I think we should also mention that we’re open until ten P.M. You know, to promote the idea that customers have longer to shop here. W-Br I like that idea, Peter. Do you want to help me? M-Cn Sure, I can do that now. W-Am In that case, (40) I can work on the weekly inventory list. W-Br (40)Thanks, Ana. It’ll take a while to update the list of available products in stock Part 3
W-Am Thanks for calling Ewing Books. How may I help you? M-Cn Hello. (41) Do you have Organization for All in stock? It’s a book by James Dobbey. W-Am Let me see … Hmm-it looks like that particular item is currently sold out. But (42) we’re scheduled to get another shipment early next week. M-Cn Oh, in that case, would you mind holding a copy for me when the books arrive? W-Am I’m awfully sorry, but we can’t hold copies for customers. But (43) if you give me your phone number, I’ll make a note to call you as soon as the shipment is here Part 3
W-Br Hello. I ordered a sofa from your store, but (44) I
remeasured my doorway and I’m afraid the sofa may be too large to fit through it. M-Au Ah, I understand. You know, (45) the sofa will arrive unassembled, so it should fit without a problem- (45) it’II take my delivery team about an hour to put it together. W-Br Oh, that’s good to know. One more question. (46) 1t’s scheduled to be delivered on Friday. Could you reschedule everything for Saturday Part 3
M-Cn Hi, Soon-yi. (47) I’d like to hire a temporary employee.
I need someone to go through the back-office filing cabinets. W-Br Sure, I can look into hiring someone. Are there any specific skills you’re looking for? M-Cn Yes, I’d like whoever we hire to scan and catalog architectural plans and sketches from the past five years. So, (48) computer skills are a must. W-Br OK, how long would you need to hire the person for? M-Cn Hopefully a year. (49) Can you check the budget to see if it’s possible? Part 3
M-Au Hi, Jin-Hee. There’s going to be a huge convention in town next
week with around 20,000 attendees. (50) I’m thinking about keeping the restaurant open later on those nights to get the extra business. I just need to make sure that I have a server who can work late each night. W-Am That sounds good. (50) I’d love to work an extra shift. (51) I could use the money to have some work done on my car. It’s been making a strange noise for the last two weeks. M-Au OK. (52) Which night are you available to stay late, then? W-Am Hmm, Thursday is my mother’s birthday. M-Au How about Friday? W-Am That’ll work, thanks Part 3 W-Br (53) Hi Juan, welcome to your first day at TKZ Accounting. I’m Kate, from the training division of Human Resources. W-Am And I’m Rachel Goldberg. (53,54) We organize new-hire training for all the accountants, so we’ll be working with you closely over the next week. M-Cn Very nice to meet you both, and I’m looking forward to working with you. This is my first full-time job in Accounting. W-Am Before we begin your training, do you have any questions? M-Cn Yes, actually. When I came in for my interview I had to pay to park my car, but (55)is there free parking for TKZ employees? W-Br Yes-there’s a special parking sticker in your new-employee materials folder there on the table. Be sure to put it on your car before tomorrow morning Part 3 M-Au Mara, (56,57) I’d like to talk to you about the spring jacket designs. Maybe after your meeting? W-Br My meeting was canceled. M-Au OK. So, I just looked over your drawings. W-Br What did you think of them? M-Au I like the jacket designs overall, but I’m concerned that there aren’t enough inside pockets. You should add more on the inside. W-Br All right. It shouldn’t be too hard to add another pocket or two to the designs. (58) I’ll go and look over my sketches right now and see what I can change Part 3 W-Am Omar, (59) we should discuss what we’re going to cover in the company’s upcoming computer-security seminar. I was thinking we could address best practices for password security. M-Au Yeah, (59) good idea. People often ask questions about creating passwords. (60) the seminar is mandatory, right? If not, it should be. W-Am (60) I don’t think we should require all employees to come. Some people might already have meetings scheduled. M·Au Well, let’s ask our supervisor and see what she thinks. W-Am OK-and (61) at the end, I’d like to give everyone a survey asking them about their experiences with technical support. It would help to find out if the system we have in place works for them Part 3 M-Cn (62) The results of your checkup look good, overall. Congratulations! (62) You’re in much better shape than you were when you last visited our medical practice. What have you been doing to keep healthy? W-Am Well, I’ve been jogging a lot more lately, but sometimes my knees hurt. (63) I love aerobic exercise, but I don’t want to get injured. Is there something else I could do? M-Cn Well-you could try swimming. It’s easier on the knees. I believe (64) They have weekly open swim times for adults at the local community center. Here-I happen to have their spring schedule with me. W-Am (64) I’m actually free on that day-I’ll give it a try. Thanks Part 3 W-Am Hello. (68) I’d like to exchange these headphones for a different pair. I purchased them yesterday, but when I tried them on at home, I just didn’t like them. M-Au Sure, I can help you with that. Tell me more about what you’re looking for so I can recommend a different pair. W-Am Well, (70) I want the kind of headphones that you wear on your head. And I’d like the ones that reduce noise. (69) I’m an electrical engineer, and there’s a lot of noise on job sites. It makes it hard to focus. M-Au OK, that helps. (70) Matphase Electronics makes great headphones. I’d recommend this model here. They’re the best at reducing noise, and I think you’ll like them. W-Am Great. Thanks for your help Vui vẻ yêu 01 thương
