9、fs - the cards themselves are fine, but you seem to have misunderstood the quantities.

Is there anyt

10、hing else?Man: Yes, well this is my mistake really. Could you ask Steven to move the company logo further to the left? Its too close to the address at the moment. I think thats all for now.

16、o the number of the recording.Do not use any letter more than once.After you have listened once, replay the recordings.You have 15 seconds to read the list A-H.PauseNow listen, and decide which type of document each speaker is talking about.PauseThirteenWoman: Well no wonder the banks returned it un

17、paid. Look, the figures dont match the amount in words. I expect someone was filling it in in too much of a hurry. Lets see, wed better issue another one straight away to pay Mrs Burton, because itll be another three weeks if we wait for the next cycle of payments. Her expenses on that sales trip we

18、re pretty high, and it wouldnt be fair to keep her waiting much longer.PauseFourteenMan: Some of the suppliers are already asking about the increases. Ill check, but I seem to remember from last weeks meeting that in the end we agreed on three per cent. So what Ill do is go down each column and calc

19、ulate the new amounts, and then it can be printed in time to be inserted into the new brochures. Can you check the figures for me, though, before it goes to the printers?PauseFifteenWoman: Weve just received the paperwork from you about cleaning our premises, and I have to say that it doesnt reflect

20、 what we agreed in our conversation last week. For one thing, it says that we have to supply our security code, and for another it specifies monthly payment in advance, and I told you both of those were out of the question. Im afraid I really cant sign this. Could you send me a revised one?PauseSixt

21、eenMan: Of course, this only gives a very general picture. But as you can see, cash is a particularly healthy area. Thats even when we take into account regular outgoings on loans and leasing equipment, which are included in the final totals. And even more significantly, unpaid orders are actually e

22、xcluded from the final calculation. These represent a sum of approximately thirty thousand pounds. With that in mind, we can say that the companys overall position is still strong.PauseSeventeenWoman: Ive just asked the Arden Conference Centre about availability for our next training seminar, and th

23、ey said they still havent been paid for the one before last, which should have been dealt with six months ago. Ive had to ask them to send a duplicate! We really must be careful. Arden give us very favourable prices, but we havent got a contract with them - Can you deal with it straight away so we s

24、tay in their good books?PauseNow listen to the recordings again.PauseSection Two.Questions 18 to 22.You will bear another five recordings.For each recording, decide what the speakers purpose is.Write one letter (A-H) next to the number of the recording.Do not use any letter more than once.After you

25、have listened once, replay the recordings.You have 15 seconds to read the list A-H.PauseNow listen, and decide what each speakers purpose is.PauseEighteenMan: Hello. This is Guy Cooper from Centron Electronics here. I believe you rang for some advice about your alarm system, which isnt functioning p

26、roperly. The message I got said you werent sure if you needed someone to come and sort it out, or if we could advise you over the phone. Well perhaps youd like to get back to me as soon as its convenient and tell me exactly what the problem is, and Ill see what I can do.PauseNineteenWoman: Well, as

27、you say, Redlon has been supplying us for years but, quite honestly, two-thirds of the complaints we receive about our products are actually due to faults in components weve had from Redlon. So I talked to the Production Manager and he agreed that I should look at some alternatives. Future Worlds ra

28、nge is fine for us, and one of their customers who I spoke to recommended them highly, so thats why weve changed to using them.PauseTwentyWoman: The competitions getting tougher, and you know were facing serious problems. We need to see more benefit from the undeniably hard work were putting in, and

29、 this means saying no to jobs which arent profitable. It would be much more beneficial to put all our efforts into winning higher-margin contracts. So the way I feel you can help most is by identifying the types of contacts which will bring in the income we need in order to ensure our future.PauseTw

30、enty-oneMan: John Woods here, phoning about the project we discussed earlier. Could you give me a ring so that we can talk about it a bit more? Ive done a few calculations and Im beginning to wonder whether its really a practical proposition. I still think the projects got potential, but there are s

31、ignificant additional costs which we hadnt taken into account. So could you get back to me as soon as you can, please?PauseTwenty-twoWoman: Hello, Sally here, from Pagwell Paints, returning your call. Im very sorry you arent happy with the latest consignment youve had from us. Its rather strange, because following your complaint about the last delivery, we did in fact take action to change the specifications in the way you suggested. So it isnt quite fair to say that we ignored your advice. I know its important to achieve the consistency that you require, but pe
