TEST 02 - Part 3

Questions 41-43 refer to the following conversation.

W: Excuse me. Can I help you, sir?
M: Hi. 41I'm looking for a planner. I've been using an old-fashioned pen and paper
planner, but I want to upgrade to an electronic model. 42I don't want anything too
fancy, please.
W: Sure. 42I think this might be what you're looking for. It's a simple planner with all
the basic functions. It has been our most popular model for a long time.
M: Yes, and 43 it's surprisingly cheap. I'll take it, please.
Questions 44-46 refer to the following conversation.
M: Good morning. 44Do you have anything to declare today?
W: Well, I've brought some traditional herbal medicine with me. 45And I have two
bottles of liquor that I bought at a duty-free shop in Beijing. Would you like to see the
receipts?
M: No, that won't be necessary. 46But I'm afraid I'll have to take the medication from
you. You can't bring that into the country unless you get clearance from the proper
authorities. I'll let you go with a warning for now, but next time you'll be fined.
Questions 47-49 refer to the following conversation.
W: This is reception. You're speaking with Andrea. How may I help you ?
M: Hello, I'm staying in room 803. 47I specifically asked for a non-smoking suite, but
it stinks of cigarette smoke in here. I think there has been a mistake.
W: Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Normally, I'd just transfer you to a non-smoking room.
48
Unfortunately, we don't have any other available rooms. I'm very sorry, sir.
M: This is not good enough, and I hope you pass that message on to the hotel
manager. 49I'll be checking out tomorrow morning and staying somewhere else.
Questions 50-52 refer to the following conversation.
W1: 50We need to update the software on all the office computers. When do you think
will be the best time to do it?
W2: Well, 52I guess it might be a good idea to do it overnight. That way, we won't
cause disruption to the employees' work schedules.
W1: But then we might not have enough time to do the job. 51The IT manager told me
that it would probably take a couple of days to complete the process.
W2: Well then, let's do it over the weekend. If the technicians start on Friday
afternoon, they should definitely be done by the time everyone gets back on Monday.
Questions 53-55 refer to the following conversation.
M: Hi Judy. 53Aren't you leaving today for the finance convention in Seattle?
W: Yes, I'm going after lunch, but I'm worried actually. 54My flight leaves at 2:30, and
I'd like to get away early. However, because of an important client meeting at 12:00, I
won't be able to leave till around 1:00.
M: It takes at least twenty minutes to get to the airport from here. You'll need to
hurry! 55Do you need a ride?
W: 55If you don't mind, that would be really helpful. I was planning on taking the
subway, but that would be much faster. Thanks

Questions 56-58 refer to the following conversation.

M: 56Has everybody in your party arrived yet, or are you still waiting for someone?
W: Sorry, 57there are a couple of people still on the way. They should be here soon.
M: Sure, I understand. 56Would you like any drinks while you're waiting?
W: That's a good idea. 56Unfortunately, I've been busy reading the dinner menu so I
haven't had a chance to look at the wine list yet. I'll take a look at it now and get back
to you in a couple of minutes.
Questions 59-61 refer to the following conversation.
W: Good morning, Mike. How was your weekend?
M: Really busy. 59I moved into a new apartment on Gray Avenue so I had a lot to do.
W: Wow, I hope you like it better than your old apartment. Although the rent there
was cheap, the interior was shabby.
M: Yes, this place is much better. 60It's in a great area, too; just next to Gray Park
station. I'm still unpacking so it's a mess inside at the moment. 61Hopefully, I'll finish
tonight, so you can come over tomorrow and have a look at it.
Questions 62-64 refer to the following conversation.
W: Hi, it's Glenda Peterson here. I'm looking for Adam Perez.
M: Hi, Glenda. Adam here. 62I guess you're calling about the order of electronics
equipment you made on Monday morning.
W: That's right. We're running low on stock in several of our appliance stores at the
moment. In particular, we're short on MP3 players and digital cameras. We need that
shipment urgently.
M: Don't worry. It's on its way. The entire shipment left our stockroom on Tuesday
evening and 63 it should arrive in your storage warehouse sometime this afternoon.
64
Please contact me again on my cell phone or call me in my office if you haven't
received the goods by 5 o'clock.
Questions 65-67 refer to the following conversation.
W: Clark, 65have you finished preparing for your talk at the investment summit?
M: Well, I've finished a draft of the material, but I need to go over it again and make a
few changes. I'm worried the presentation might come across as a bit dull.
W: 66We want to catch the attention of potential investors, so focus on making it
entertaining rather than detailed. You could try adding some interesting graphics or
multimedia features to the presentation.
M: Yes, 67I'm going to get Ken from the IT team to help me with that. I hear he's an
expert at putting together great displays
Questions 68-70 refer to the following conversation.
M: Hi Shannon, I heard they're looking for a new manager for the public relations
department. Do you know who's in line for the job?
W: 68They've already offered the position to a woman called Shelly Sanders.
Apparently she's from a big firm in New York.
M: Really? 69I expected them to promote someone from within the department. Sam
Warner and Pete Michaels have been loyal to the company for a long time. I thought
one of them might get the job.
W: 70I think the personnel department wanted to bring in some new ideas from
outside the company.

It seems like the turnout for the meeting is going to be higher than we originally
anticipated. 85From what I've heard, 30 stockholder are planning to attend. 83So,
instead of using the meeting room, which only fits around 25 people, I thought it

bigger, with room for around 50 people. I think everyone will be alot more
comfortable in there. Please return this call to let me know what you think.
