Here is an example: When were the machine parts sent?

[pause]

Woman: Mr Hooper rang. He needs those parts for the packing machine by the third.

Man: Well, it’s already the first today…but wait …no, it’s OK. They were sent out on the thirty-first.

Woman: Good. He’ll certainly get them by the third, then.

The answer is A.

Now we are ready to start.

After you have listened once, replay each recording.

One: Why does the woman want the job?

[pause]

Woman: I’m applying for that job in the Marketing Department, I’m tired of going all the way to Head Office every day! The Marketing office is just down the road from my house.

Man: That’s the aim. When I asked our MD for his advice on the next step, he suggest this lunch meeting.

[pause]

Four: Which chart shows this year’s sales?

[pause]

Man: Looking at our main markets, Asia now represents fifty per cent of all sales. Europe and the USA are the other two main players, with sales in the USA are the thirty-eight per cent, unlike last year when Europe had the bigger share.

[pause]

Five: How much will Emma’s hotel bill be?

[pause]

Woman(1): Hello, it’s Emma MacDonald here from AB Electronics. I’d like to book a single room for the twenty-fifth please.

Woman(2): Certainly. Single rooms are seventy-two pounds fifty per night, including breakfast. Woman(1): Oh… I see but my company uses the hotel regularly. We normally get a discount. Woman(2): Oh sorry. That’ll be sixty pounds per night then, sixty-five pounds fifty with breakfast. Woman(1): Oh, I won’t want breakfast.
