BEC商务英语（高级）听力模拟试卷104(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. PART ONE 2. PART TWO 3. PART THREEPART ONE听力原文：You will hear a speaker addressing the topic of selling a business.As you listen, for questions 1 to 12, complete the notes using up to three words or a number.After you have listened once, replay the recording.You now have 45 seconds to read through the questions.[pause]Now listen, and complete the notes.[pause]Man: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I’m honorued to have this opportunity to talk to you. My name is James Clair, and I’m Chief Executive of the Institute of Marketing Research. My talk today is about selling a business. If you plan to sell your business, be careful. There are an enormous number of traps awaiting the inexperienced seller. Before giving out any information about the business to any potential purchaser, make sure they have signed a confidentiality undertaking—that is, a document promising not to make confidential information public. You do not want a potential buyer using this confidential information either in the course of negotiations or after negotiations have broken down. Many confidentiality letters, however, have no legal value, so taking appropriate advice is recommended. You should also consider your strategy for informing your staff of the proposed sale. Most business owners want to keep the sale secret from their employees until the deal has been completed or at least until negotiations are fairly advanced. This can be difficult, though, and if staff find out about the sale, it can unsettle them. In addition, you will need to produce a considerable amount of information about the business and its running; for this you will require the co-operation of senior management, who will therefore need to be informed of the sale. When corresponding with a potential purchaser marks everything “subject to contract”. Contracts can be made accidentally and you do not want to be committed until a formal contract, including all of the relevant terms, has been negotiated and signed. To avoid this, many people negotiate a summary document which briefly sets out the main conditions of the sale. These documents can be useful because potential areas of dispute or disagreement can be seen in advance. They should be short and simple, and full arrangement should be negotiated with the buyer as soon as possible. Do remember, however, that a summary rarely deals with all the points for discussion which are going to arise in the course of negotiations. Make sure all your paperwork is in order. A buyer will want to see vast quantities of information and documentation on the business. It is vital therefore that you ensure all insurance policies, bank statements, finance documents, and employment, supplier and customer contracts are well ordered and up to date. This will save everyone a lot of time. In addition, make sure that all staffs have up-to-date contracts of employment. An employer must, by law, issue statements of employment to all employees within two months of their starting work. These protect both the employer and the employee, and mean that there is certainty about those terms and conditions. Even if you fail toissue them the buyer will still expect you to be able to identify with certainty what the terms and conditions are. The absence of written contracts makes that much more difficult. You may also need the approval of people entirely external to the business for the sale to take place. The most frequent example of this is when significant pieces of machinery and equipment are subject to financing arrangements, and the consent of the financier is necessary. Getting such agreement generally takes time, so you will need to move quickly if a buyer wants it done before completing the deal.[pause]Now listen to the recording again.[pause]That is the end of Part One. You now have 20 seconds to check your answers.[pause]You will hear a speaker addressing the topic of selling a business.As you listen, for questions 1-12, complete the notes using up to three words or a number.After you have listened once, replay the recording.

I think it will be perfect for you.M: Oh, what's the job?F: They want a marketing manager. Isn't that the kind of thing you're looking for?M: Yes. Does it say what the job involves?F: There's a quite a big job description, but the main thing seems to be that you'll be in charge of sales planning. Sounds quite interesting.M: Well, it will be better than the administration work I'm doing at the moment. What sort of qualifications are they looking for? I suppose they want you to have an MBA.F: No, there's nothing here about that. But it does say that they're looking for someone who canspeak foreign languages. Well, that's OK for you because you've lived abroad and you speak German, don't you?M: Yes, and Spanish, too. When do the applications have to be in by?F: What's it today? The 9th of June. So you've plenty to time. The 3rd of July is the closing date. Do you want me to fax you the adverts so you can see yourself.M: Yes. That'll be great. Thanks.F: OK. I'll do it now.3.M: Hello!

I think we need to have a meeting to talk about the rising costs.M: Sounds like a good idea. When were you thinking of?F: As soon as possible. I think we should try to put together new department budgets. Each department will then have set limits for their spending.M: Yes. I'm sure that will help. Who would you specially like to have at the meeting?F: Well, us, obviously. And can you make sure that the sales coordinator is available. And also the buildings manager? We'll need their input.M: Sure. I'll get on to them. And I'll book the boardroom.F: Oh, can you make sure that there'll be a laptop available there on the day. I'd like to show the figures for this year and last year.M: No problem. I'll get back to you later to confirm the details.F: Fine. Thanks.Part II13. Very useful indeed! The general manager and the research director showed us around their high-tech production unit and there was a presentation of some of the products they're planning. They're certainly coming up with plans for some innovative products. I'm fairly sure we can come to some agreement about working together on at least two of them, though there'll be some hard bargaining, I should think.14. They were really excellent. The best group I've ever worked with. I was able to cover the theoretical ground very quickly and got to the practical stuff earlier than I'd expected. This meant that they had much more practice than other groups and won't need too much support from us, even in the initial stage of using the program.15. They weren't easy, Mark. They were not easy! They asked us extremely detailed questions about our products and our ability to meet deadlines. In fact, at one point I thought we're going to have to withdraw because it looked as if we wouldn't be able to meet all their requirements. But then they made a number of concessions. In the end I think we've managed to get a good deal. Certainly it's the biggest contract I've been involved with.16.The first day was particularly useful because there were some interesting speakers, mainly from big multinationals, talking on such as I'm interested in, like the international aspects ofindustrial relations and employment law. Then in the evening I had some extremely interesting conversations with ??? speakers. I hope there'll useful contacts in the future. But other delegates thought it wasn't very well attended, because the organizers ad decided against having an exhibition area so fewer people came.17. We revealed the month's work and discussed next month's targets. We decided that we definitely need some extra help with the personnel selection because there's just too much for one person. Generally I think we're a pretty good team. Of course there're a few problems now and again, but we always discuss them in a very calm and sensible way and come up with solutions that work, so far, anyway.18. All I can say is that I'd stood out as the best applicant straight away or they took an instant dislike to me. I'd expected it to last at least 45 minutes, and possibly to involve 2 sessions. But I left I managed to go for a swim and do some shopping before I got back to the office for lunch.19. I've been over all the obvious things I knew they would ask me with a colleague and I practiced all my answers over and over again. I felt sure I could deal with anything they'd put to me. Well, they started asking me what I though my weaknesses were. I just hadn't prepared for that, but because I had done so much preparation for other questions I managed to come up with a really good answer.20. Well, I got there and I thought I am really well prepared for this. I was wearing my best suit. I arrived on time and so did the other three applicants. But they kept us waiting for an hour and a half while they tried to sort themselves out. By the time I went I was so patient with the company I didn't want the job any more.21. It's fine, isn't it. I can do it now. I knew what they were going to ask me. But when you are under all that pressure and all those questions are coming at you, something let you down. And whatever you say, you know you haven't got the message across right and they haven't understood what you really meant. If only could get a second chance.22. I got home late from the meeting than I before (???) and I was really tired, but I lay awake all night. I guess I should have thought more carefully about wearing the right sort of things. But I was a bit disorganized and rushed out of the flat as if it was just an ordinary day and then felt like an odd one out when I got there and saw everyone else in suits. I was so embarrassed.Part IIIF: With me today is Peter Williams from Kingston University. Welcome! Peter.M: Thank you.F: Peter, you recently a large research study on training in small businesses. What made you focus on small businesses? After all, most of your experience has been with the huge multinational Cleantex. And in fact you eventually you ran their training department, didn't you?M: Well, you are partly right. You see, when I joined the university a year ago they wanted me to start a training program for small businesses. I'd just sold my own small business, which I'd started when I left Cleantex. The 8 years I ran my own business taught me more about training than allmy years with Cleantex. But I felt I couldn't base a training program on my experience alone. So I decided to do research first.F: And how much training did you find in most small companies. Can they afford to do much training?M: Well, firstly small businesses are often accused of not doing enough training. But that is the opinion of big businesses of course. It's true that the government is encouraging small firms to increase their training budgets. They're trying to introduce financial assistance for this. But I have to say I find lots of training going on. The real problem is that most small businesses don't always know how much training they're providing or how much it's actually costing them.F: But surely businesses have budgets and training records.M: Unfortunately most small companies don't set aside a specific training budget. It's not that they don't want to spend the money but that they operate differently. You see, things change very quickly in small firms and it's impossible to predict the training needs. An employee can be moved to a new project very suddenly and then training has to be organized within days. And most small businesses prefer to use their experienced staff to do any training on the job.F: Did you manage to work out the costs of training?M: Well, it took time to work out the indirect costs. You see, most small business managers don't include these costs in their calculations. Most of them keep records of obvious expenses, like, many expenses like external courses, travel, training manual, and videos, etc. But not many firms have specific training accounts and they don't include the time managers spend on training, waste of materials, lost of productivity and so on. I spent hours with company accountants trying to see where these hidden costs were.F: How much are small firms spending on training?M: More than half of the businesses I surveyed spent at least 1% of their annual salary bill on training. And some of these spent up to 5% of their pay roll. In fact smaller firms are investing on average over 10% more on training per employee than larger firms.F: How good is that training?M: As I said, small firms usually get an experienced employee to show new staff how to do that job. This can be useful if the person is carefully selected and well-trained himself. But it's not really enough. The trainee needs to do the job with the experienced employee on hand for guidance and feedback. This gets trainees much better skills than any packaged courses.F: And has your study helped you plan new courses for small businesses?M: Definitely. I now understand what they want and how they want it delivered. I now know that small firms were only investing in training if it immediately helped their enterprise. But most formal training focuses on long-term business needs. Most small businesses can't plan far ahead. They want direct results from training in skills they need now. New technologies and IT skills are identified as a priority by all the firms I surveyed.F: What is the first course the university offer small businesses?M: Up till now most of short courses for companies in general have dealt with helping businesses grow. These aren't really appropriate for small companies as growth can be very risky for them. They obviously need to grow but they're afraid of fast growth. I'm going to start with courses on IT and software the small companies are likely to require because of the business growth to come later. And they'll need to be changed to make them more relevant to small businesses.F: Well, I wish you every success with the course.。

BEC中级听力部分题型简介
BEC中级听力部分题型简介一、BEC中级听力部分简介BEC听力部分旨在考查大家在真实的商务交际中对信息的把握与沟通能力，考试共有三个题型，填空题、多项搭配题和选择题，分别考查考生对听力材料细节、主旨及对话深层内容的获取能力，共三十道题，分值占整个BEC考试分值的25%；考试时间为大约40分钟（包括听力录音结束后抄写答案10分钟），在考试中，所有的听力材料都会听到两遍。
考试的录音材料大多数来自于真实的工作交流环境，发音以英式发音为主，也会少量涉及到美音，澳大利亚音及加拿大音等。
BEC考试涉及的话题有个人情况说明，办公室、商务环境与惯例，客户娱乐、业余时间与同事和客户的关系，旅游与会议，使用电话，健康与安全，买卖，公司结构，系统与程序，产品与服务，结果与成绩及商业问题等。
能否在BEC考试听力部分取得较高的分数，取决于三个方面：（1）是否具有良好的英语听力；（2）对商务及相关行业的基本知识及词汇是否熟悉；（3）对BEC考试听力部分的题型及其特点是否了解。
BEC听力考试有它不同于其他考试的地方，BEC是一项侧重能力并且实用性较强的考试，考查大家在工作环境当中英语的实用能力，对商务及相关行业的基本知识及词汇是否熟悉也是在BEC听力考试中取得高分的重要因素。
与普通英语有所不同，商务场合中的用语一般都有比较正式，单词的含意也与普通生活词汇不同，如order一词，在日常生活中表示“命令”，而在商务中则表示“订货”；又如日常生活中的“吃住”一词在商务中有一个专用词“accommodation”，而不是“living and eating”，所以BEC考试也是对大家商务知识的使用和商务思维的全面考查。

Er, for two thousand, it'll be two thousand five hundred pounds, or for a thousand, it'll be one thousand, five hundred pounds. Without colour photos, the price goes down a bit.Man: How much?Woman: Er, for a thousand, it would be one thousand two hundred.[pause]Two: When will the new Personnel Officer start work?[pause]Woman: Jane is leaving next week, isn't she?Man: Yes. We recruited the new Personnel Officer in July, but because she has to relocate from Newcastle, I don't think she'll be able to begin until October.Woman: Well, we'll need to arrange some temporary cover for September.Man: OK. I'll look into it.[pause]Three: Which pie chart is correct?[pause]Man: . . . and I'm pleased to report that here at WTM, our market share has increased by ten per cent, taking us ahead of our rivals PTA for the first time. Of course, AVC are still the marketleaders with a fifty-five-per-cent share, so...[pause]Four: Why is Jane unhappy about Michael's report?[pause]Woman: Where's the report I asked for, Michael?Man: Sorry, Jane, it's here, just finished. It's a bit late, but...Woman: That doesn't matter. Has anyone else seen it?Man: I circulated copies internally. I thought you asked me to.Woman: Not before I'd checked it first.

The General Manager was keen to promote young staff quickly, so shortly after that, I became Project Team Leader.

Thank you for coming to hear abont Arlington Park. Some of you know a lot about it already, but for people who don't, the first thing to say is that if you do want to see what sort of work we do, on every third Thursday in the month, there's an exhibition, so come along to that - you're very welcome.At Arlington Park, we aim to help you not only to get the most out of your staff, but also the most out of you yourself. Our next two weekend workshops are covering two very important areas in this field: on the tenth of June, we have a workshop oncommunication.Nothing could be easier in our modern world and yet nothing is more difficult, too. On the seventeenth of July, we have a change in the programme; we previously advertised a course on using technology, but that day is now set aside for a course called simply 'Leadership', run by one of our best trainers, Richard Gordon.You probably know his management books.The one-day weekend workshops are just one of the types of courses we offer. We also offer three-day programmes, and these include accommodation. I'll leave a pile of leaflets about those with you, so that you can look at them at your leisure.Arlington Park is very well equipped, and managers always enjoy their stay. Our facilities are excellent, and we have special training suites, as well as a fitness centre.Every quarter, we publish a magazine - I've got a few copies here for those of you who haven't seen it before. We've just changed the name; it used to be Developing People, now it's called Moving Forward. The articles in it are written by the trainers and by the managers attending our courses.If anyone would like to go on our mailing list, would you please fill in one of these enquiry forms and leave it at reception? I'll pick up all the forms at the end of the morning. Now, onto more detail...[pause]Now listen to the recording again.[pause]That is the end of Part Three. You now bare twenty seconds to check your answers.[pause]Part Four. Questions 23 to 30.You will hear an interview with John Winterman,the Managing Director of a sports-equipment manufacturing company called Turners.For each question, 23-30, mark one letter (A, B orC) for the correct answer.After you have listened once, replay the recording.You now have forty-five seconds to read through the questions.[pause]Now listen, and mark A, B or C.Woman: ... and this morning, we welcome John Winterman, Managing Director of Turners, the sports company which manufactures golf and tennis equipment.Man: Morning.Woman: So, John, you took charge of the company after a management buy-out. What made you and the other managers sure that it would be a successful move?Man: Well, when we bought the business in nineteen ninety-seven, we knew there were financial problems to solve, including some hidden debts. But we felt the products themselves were really excellent, and a good basis from which to grow the company. And, although the brand image wasn't particularly well known, we felt it was possible to build on it.Woman: I see. I believe the previous owners weren't specialists in the field...Man: That's right.., they were a large engineering group called AFT.Woman: Did that cause any difficulties?Man: Yes. Although AFT used the same management systemsas in its other -engineering - businesses, and these seemed to be working, the production system just wasn't right for a consumer goods company. Turners offers a wide range of products, and has a complex business mix as a result.Woman: I see. And how did their management systemaffect distribution?Man: Well, the first thing we realised was that, although there was an up-to-date computer system, it was impossible to follow the movement of products around the world. The items we manufactured had a different product number in each country! The methods of transport also varied enormously from one country to another, which made the invoices complicated.Woman: And what sort of service was the customer getting?Man: Well, it wasn't very efficient. Our customers, the sports outlets, complained that although they were usually on time, orders often had items missing. I think these outlets only stayed with us because there was still demand for our products.Woman: And how do you intend to promote the brand?Man: Well, with sports equipment, image is all important,。

Questions 1 to 12.You will hear the head of recruitment at Buyright Supermarkets plc talking to a group of job applicants who are attending the company’s assessment centre. Here they will be assessed for places on Buyright’s training programme.As you listen, for questions 1 to 12, complete the notes, using up to three words or a number.After you have listened once, replay the recording.You now have 45 seconds to read through the notes.[pause]Now listen, and complete the notes.[pause]Good morning, and welcome to the Buyright Supermarkets assessment centre. My name is Jackie Shellens, and I’m the head of recruitment. I’ll be looking after you for these two days.As you know, we’ve invited you here to choose ten of you for places on our management training programme. Of the original seventy applicants, we’ve shortlisted you twenty-four to go through this assessment process, which I’ll outline now.You’ll be taking part in six main activities this evening and tomorrow: a team discussion, team challenge, psychometric tests, individual interview, presentation and simulations. You’ll be given more detailed information about each before you do it, but I’ll just outline them briefly.First, the two team activities: for the discussion you’ll be given a problem involving planning, and you’ll have to find a solution in a group of six. In the same group, you will have team challenges and you’ll take turns to lead the group. These will take place outside, and will include crossing a snake pit without getting bitten - don’t worry, they aren’t real snakes! - and rounding up a flock of sheep, where you’ll be playing the roles of the sheep, sheepdogs and shepherd.The psychometric tests are written tests and they will take you a couple of hours. You’ll be interviewed individually by two people, and they’ll focus on your personal qualities, using the psychometric tests as a starting point. The same two people, and the rest of your group of six, will be the audience for the presentations we’ve asked you to prepare.For the simulations, you’ll be in threes. You’ll be given a typical situation in a supermarket - like dealing with a worker suspected of stealing. Two of you will act this out while the third observes, and then you’ll discuss what happened and what should be done. Don’t worry, it isn’t as difficult as it sounds, and we certainly don’t expect you to be perfect managers yet!You’ve probably noticed that you’ve been given red, yellow, blue or green name badges, and they’re the four groups we’ve put you into. When I’ve finished talking to you, the four groups will go off to different rooms, where you’ll be given the timetable of group activities and do some icebreaking exercises to get to know each other. At six thirty, there’ll be a reception in the West Room, followed by dinner. After that, we’ll be having a question-and-answer session with a panel of branch managers, so you’ll be able to find out what it’s like working for Buyright. Tomorrow will start with breakfast at eight, and the activities will go on until five thirty.We hope to makeour final selection of ten people for the management training programme very soon, and we’ll write to you all within a week.Oh, if you haven’t claimed your travel expenses yet, don’t forget to fill in your expenses claim form -there should be one in your information pack - and give it to me before you leave.Now we’ll get each group off to the right room, and make a start. . .You will hear the head of recruitment at Buyright Supermarkets plc talking to a group of job applicants who are attending the company’s assessment centre.

Questions 13 to 22.You will hear five different people talking about workshops they have recently attended.For each extract, there are two tasks. Look at Task One. For each question, 13 to 17, choose the reason the speaker gives for attending the workshop, from the list A-H. Now look at Task Two. For each question, 18-22, choose the outcome of attending the workshop, from the list A-H.After you have listened once, replay the recording.You now have 30 seconds to read the two lists.[pause]Now listen, and do the two tasks. [pause]Speaker OneMan: There’s a danger in business of not seeing the wood for the trees, and I’d been feeling for some time that we were trudging forward with no real sense of why we were doing what we were doing. So before we considered developing new products or services for customers, I wanted to find out more about the reasoning behind development - the ideas and thinking -of systems. That’s what this workshop offered. Obviously, I’m not in R and D myself, but I wanted to be able to understand the underlying issues when the R and D people come and talk to me. The workshop made me realise how complex those issues could be, and that’s why we’ve now appointed someone to look after that side of things for the first time.Speaker TwoWoman: Yes, well I was quitesurprised at how big an effect going along to a single afternoon session turned out to have. Afterwards, I spent a few days thinking over what I’d learnt, and talking it through with various colleagues, particularly on the IT team. I concluded we’d been wrong to bring in new sales targets without altering anything else. So we sat down and re-worked people’s responsibilities, the definitions of their roles and tasks. Now I think the whole system works much better. And to think that I only went because I was feeling a bit rusty about the database, and wanted to spend some time trying out how to co-ordinate all the data we’d had on customers. It led me to realise how much more the sales staff could be doing if we re-jigged their role.Speaker ThreeMan: I’m very glad I went to the workshop, as it enabled me to get things moving ahead. If I hadn’t gone, I think we’d have ended up calling in outside consultants, which would have been an expensive way to get no more information than we can get by ourselves. But arranging for the HR manager to investigate our staff’s expectations and intentions and present it all in writing to the leadership team has worked well enough for our purposes. I signed up for the workshop because I knew we needed to find out more concrete facts about how career patterns are shifting - we can’t control them, of course, but if we know about them, we can at least anticipate what’s coming. They showed us some case studies, which were really quite similar to our situation.Speaker FourWoman: We’re in a business where it really is true that you have to keep running even to stand still, and market research keeps showing us that customers expect more and more. The workshop outline said it would cover ways to develop genuinely new products and services, which was exactly what we needed. And it has proved useful. Now that I’ve put together a dedicated cross-functional group to generate ideas and suggestions, I think we’ll start to see some quality results coming through once they’re ready to release their findings. And that should give us the competitive edge we so badly need to gain, without the expense of hiring an agency or taking on new staff who we can’t accommodate.Speaker FiveMan: There’s certainly been quite a shift over the last few years towards measurement - it seems everything has to be quantified these days. We’ve been measuring an ever-widening scope of aspects of the business, and so there’s nothing new for us about measuring what each and every employee achieves in relation to agreed targets of efficiency or achievement. The session I went to offered the opportunity to examine alternative ways of going about it, and it was as useful as it promised to be. In the spirit of consultation, I’ve presented all the options on the intranet, so people can look at it and then we’ll have a discussion phase. I hope it’ll work out, because I don’t want everyone to feel any new system is imposed from above.You will hear five people talking about workshops they have recently attended. For each extract, there are two tasks. For Task One, choose the reason the speaker gives for attending the workshop from the list A-H. For Task Two, choose the outcome of attending the workshop from the list A-H. After you have listened once, replay the recording.Task One - Reason for choosing to attend For questions 13-17, match the extracts with the reason for attending the workshop, listed A-H. For each extract, choose the reason for attending the workshop that each person mentions.

Questions 23 to 30.You will hear a meeting involving members of a quality improvement group in a manufacturing company. The department head, Sandra, is talking to a female colleague, Fiona, and a male colleague, Jamie.For each question, 23-30, mark one letter (A, B or C) for the correct answer.After you have listened once, replay the recording.You have 45 seconds to read through the questions.[pause]Now listen, and mark A, B or C.[pause]Woman: Have you got the list of topics I circulated?Man: Mmn.Woman: Right. First, the perennial problem of telephone calls.Man: Yes. It’s so irritating when someone’s phone is left ringing because they’re away from their desk.Woman: It’s ages before anyone bothers to answer the phone for them.Woman: Isn’t the real reason that often callers ask for somebody they’ve spoken to before, but it may be a completely different matter, which that person can’t deal with? And we’re so used to that happening, we’re not taking calls seriously. Man: Then callers get annoyed that we can’t help them.Woman: Right.Woman: Shall we get the switchboard to ask what they’re ringing about? Man, Woman: Yes.Woman: But shouldn’t we also set a time limit for answering the phone?Woman: Perhaps we could measure the time people take to answer, and see if there really is a problem. Woman: But we mustn’t tell everyone, or they’ll answer quickly, and it won’t be realistic. Man: What about some training?Woman: No, maybe Fiona’s right, her idea is all we need. And we can repeat the exercise in six months’time.Man: OK.Woman: Next there’s sales. We all know there’s a slowdown, but we don’t seem to be responding adequately. Man: I reckon we ought to use the internet more actively. Our website brings in a trickle of customers, but we need to benchmark by looking at other companies’ sites, too. Woman: To see how our products stand up to comparison? Man: Right. Our customers could be buying from anywhere in the world. We don’t really know enough about how we compare in price, or quality. Woman: It probably wouldn’t help sales directly. What else could we do? Woman: What about discounts, to encourage customers to purchase larger quantities? Man: Our products aren’t really price-sensitive. Customers buy them for quality and reliability.Woman: Then they’re the selling points we should be publicising. Man: The effect would be marginal. But if we broadened our range, customers could purchase goods from us that they currently source from othersuppliers. Woman: Good idea. Fiona? Woman: Yes. Woman: Then we’ll look into that in depth next time. Next, we need more support staff, so sales people can spend more time selling. What do you think? Woman: Yes, ideally. But we’ll never get an increase in staffing levels though. Man: You’re right. There’s already a policy of cuts through natural wastage. There’s no point trying to change it. Woman: You know Sarah, in Accounts? She wants a new job, and she’s too good to lose. Maybe she could be transferred. Woman: And Accounts have just upgraded their software, so they probably don’t need all their staff. Man: There might be other people too.Woman: Then let’s propose that. Now shifts. You wanted to raise this, Fiona? Woman: Oh yes. The Quality Control records show that since the night shift was introduced, it’s had a very high percentage of defective items that have to be rejected. We need to reduce the figure. Man: I think it’s because some people who used to work only on day shifts don’t like working at night.Woman: Yes, several supervisors have noticed the resentment. I think it’ll die down of its own accord. But Fiona, the problem you mentioned is normal with night shifts. We can’t do much about it. Woman: At least we should look into it. Man: I agree.Woman: OK. Next time then. Now Jamie, you wanted to bring up communication. Man: Yes. I know that senior management takes communication very seriously, and encourages things like phoning and emailing customers to get feedback on products, and using the intranet so all the staff know about vacancies, new policies, and so on. But some basic things aren’t adequately dealt with. The purchasing officers are always complaining that it’s too long before they’re told about sales orders. Woman: It would help if we had a communications officer. Woman: But we can suggest improvements to any of the departmental heads. Man: I agree with Fiona. If a position is created with that particular responsibility, it signals that communication is taken seriously. Woman: Well the company does take it seriously. So if we don’t signal that ourselves, maybe we should propose that one of the senior managers takes it on. Woman: It’s worth trying. Man: Yes.Woman: Right. Well that’s everything for today. Thank you both very much.You will hear a meeting involving members of a quality improvement group in a manufacturing company. The department head, Sandra, is talking to a female colleague, Fiona, and a male colleague, Jamie. For each question (23-30), mark one letter (A, B or C) for the correct answer.
