TL47: Part 03

Questions 32 through 34 refer to the following conversation.

Woman: Hi, Max! So, Tammy, the morning sales manager, will be taking a few days off next week. Since you’re the weekend sales manager, would you be able to cover her shifts while she’s away?

Man: That shouldn’t be a problem, but the morning shift involves receiving deliveries. Do you think Tammy would show me what to do with the products that come in?

Woman: I’m sure she would. You should probably take a look at the delivery schedule first though.

Questions 35 through 37 refer to the following conversation.

Man: Hi Jenny. I wanted to talk to you about the issues we’ve been having with our store’s performance. Since the construction of the parking lot began, now sales have dropped by 15 percent. What are your ideas?

Woman: I think that our customers may think our computer repair shop is closed because of the construction workers and equipment in front of the store. Why don’t we create a large sign that says we are still open?

Man: Great idea! A large and eye-catching sign will definitely inform customers that we are still open.

Woman: Well, why don’t we ask Nate to design it? He is fantastic when it comes to graphic design projects. He made a great banner for my cousin’s office.

Questions 38 through 40 refer to the following conversation.

Man: Bethany, I was just looking at our contract with Gold Accounting. The contract states that we won’t be paid anything until after the advertising campaign is launched. Is that a mistake?

Woman: M-m-m… Actually, I think it should say that Gold Accounting will pay us 30 percent of the total fee upfront and the remaining 70 after the campaign launch. How about I call Tricia in Contract Negotiations and see if something has changed?

Man: That would be great. Let me know what she says. If it’s a mistake, we’ll need to bring due copies.

Man: Hello and welcome to Sonora Restaurant. May I interest you in our dinner menu?

Woman 1: Yes, please. We came here because we heard that you use only the best ingredients.

Woman 2: A friend of mine was here last week and recommended that we try the deep-fried vegetables with some special dipping. What is it called?

Man: Oh… you must mean Chef Mallory’s new dish Blooming Garden. Chef Mallory is constantly working to create innovative dishes and has even published a new cookbook with recipes about most popular menu items.

Woman 2: I see. I will definitely go to the bookstore and buy one.

Man: There is no need. We have signed copies for sale at the cash register. Would you like to take a look at one?

Man: How did your business trip to Seattle go?

Woman: I think it went well. The client seemed impressed with our previous interior design projects.

Man: I’m sure they were. All the spaces you’ve decorated look amazing. Have they signed the contract?

Woman: They want to finalize the contract details this week.

Man: That’s great.

Woman: It is. But they want everything finished by next month, and I still have to finish a big project redesigning the interior of a local hotel this month.

Man: That’s a lot of work. What will you do?

Woman: Hi. I purchased this sweater at this department store last weekend as a gift for my friend. However, I just found out she already has a similar sweater in this color. Can I exchange it for another color?

Man: That shouldn’t be a problem as long as you have your receipt. We can’t issue exchanges without the original copy.

Woman: I have it right here. Do you carry this sweater in purple?

Man: We do, but we’re currently sold out. We’ve already ordered a new shipment, but the sweaters won’t arrive for another week. I can put one aside for you when they get here.

Questions 50 through 52 refer to the following conversation with 3 speakers.

Woman: Hey, Hanho Engeone! I thought you might be at this year’s conference.

Man 1: Marsha, it’s nice to see you again. We haven’t seen you since the conference in Chicago a few years back. We’ve been busy.

Woman: That’s right. I heard you guys published some impressive new research in the public health field last month.

Man 2: Yes, we thought the topic deserved more extensive research.

Woman: I agree. I was responsible for organizing the speakers for a symposium earlier this year. A number of people pointed out that research on that subject is terribly lacking.

Woman: Sounds great. I’m going to meet with Mr. Lavella, the city developer, this afternoon. Can I let him know that we’re still on schedule?

Man: Well, there were a few setbacks due to the constant rain last week, but remarkably we still seem to be on schedule.

Man: Makayla, I need to review the plans for remodeling the kitchen with you. Follow me into the kitchen, please.

Woman: Wow! Are these the new appliances that arrived today? They look different from what we had originally decided on. How will we fit this full-size refrigerator next to these cabinets?

Man: It won’t be easy to fit this huge stovetop range either. So I wanted to request that you remove the entire cabinet. You need to clear out some space.

Woman: Well… this removal is very complicated. Are we going to have time to replace the sink today?

Man: No, I decided to reschedule that job to tomorrow.

Questions 59 through 61 refer to the following conversation.

Man: Nice to have you back, Gemma. How is your business class?

Woman: Good. I learned some things I think will really help our hotel out.

Man: Really? Like what?

Woman: Well, one of our guest speakers, Giulianna Beyle, said that small hotels like ours should really try to get as much exposure as possible on popular booking websites.

Man: That’s a good idea. We could definitely be running more online promotions.

Woman: She also said we should give gifts to encourage guests to post reviews online. That kind of personal touch can really help smaller hotels.

Man: I agree, but what kinds of gifts could we afford?

Woman: I have to figure that out next. I have some ideas, but I need to do some research to see which one will work.

Man: Yes, I wrote it down here. And here is my ID.

Woman: OK. Great. Here’s your ticket, Mr. Parker.

Man: Thanks so much. Is the train still scheduled to depart at 3:40?

Woman: No, actually, there’s been an unfortunate delay. So, it’ll be departing at 4:30. Café Lucy is offering complimentary beverages to passengers, so you can wait for your train there if you’d like.

Questions 68 through 70 refer to the following conversation and shelving unit.

Woman: Larry, just look at our sales floor. I want us to take a moment to reorganize the shelves, so that restocking becomes easier in the future.

Man: Sure, Mallory. I was thinking the same thing. Keeping the books together on Aisle 1 and 2 would be the best way to organize the display. Also, it will be nicer if we move all the magazines to Aisle 3 and all the multimedia to Aisle 4.

Woman: Good idea. Although we have many magazines, they will fit in Aisle 3 if we discard some of the outdated ones. Can you please locate the magazines that were issued before 2015?

Why does the woman want to reorganize the shelves?

Look at the graphic. Which of the following aisles will likely have empty space?
