charts is he using for his presentation
please look at the handout the Left

past three years and the sales forecast
for the current year and the right chart
shows the monthly breakdown in sales up
to October of this year
now please have a look at the Left chart
it shows that sales have been steadily
increasing over the past three years and
if we can keep increasing our sales the
total sales for this year will show an
increase over last year
next please look at the right chart the
right chart shows that the campaign's we
ran in April and August were fairly
effective I see but the sales decreased
in May and September following the
campaign's yes but this kind of decrease
is unavoidable
I expect the annual sales for this year
will show an increase over last year if

a man is joining a sports club and
getting information on its policies what
type of membership will he choose let me
start by explaining our clubs different
membership options as described in this
brochure regular members can use the gym
in the pool at any time on any day of
the week but we also offer early-morning
memberships where people can use the
facilities only in the early morning and
night memberships for people who only
want to come in the evening what are the
hours for early morning members early
morning members can use the facilities
from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and night
members can use them from 6 p.m. to 11
p.m. I see so early morning members can
stop by and use the facilities on their
way to work exactly the early morning
type is popular among people with 9 to 5
jobs and we also offer memberships just
for the gym or just for the pool if you
only want to use one of those I want to
use both the gym and the pool I think
I'll use the gym in the early morning
before going to work on weekdays and
then use the pool on the weekend if you
have a membership that covers something
like early mornings for the weekdays but
all day on the weekend we're sorry but
we don't offer a membership like that
sir ok I don't think I can get up that
early on the weekend so I'll choose this
membership option

office supplies what will the man order
every month you need to check our office
supplies and order any items that are
running low this time
let's take a look at them together
here's the checklist ok that sounds good
well starting with the paper it looks
like there's only one box left we use
lots of paper every day so let's order
two more boxes ok
the printer is out of color ink should
we order that we don't really print
documents in color so we don't need to
worry about that hmm ok looks like these
whiteboard markers are running out of
ink right those need to be replaced we
get a discount if we order them in sets
of five so let's do that okay and while
we're at it can we order a mouse
sometimes it works but sometimes it
doesn't that's probably because it's
running out of batteries let's check the
stock of batteries and order more if we
don't have many left sure well we have
three batteries here you can take two of
these for your mouse but buy a six pack
of batteries to replace them
what will the man order

a woman is asking for directions to the
airport at an information center how is
she going to get to the airport excuse
me I need to go to the airport would you
tell me how to get there
sure there are a few ways if you take
bus number one it takes about one and a
half hours to the airport it's the least
expensive way bus number two is a
non-stop bus it's more expensive and
leaves once every hour but it only takes
50 minutes I see what about taxis
there's a taxi stand in front of the
building and they take about an hour but
they use the expressway and charge extra
for a lot of luggage so it's going to be
a lot more expensive than the bus I
guess that makes sense and I'd like to
avoid paying too much you didn't by
chance buy anything at shopping world
while you were here they offer
complimentary shuttle service to the
airport for customers who make a
purchase there wow I didn't know that I
haven't bought anything yet but I was
going to stop by and get some souvenirs
there anyway then you can use that

a man is choosing an insurance plan
which plan is he going to sign up for
what kind of trip will you be taking I'm
going scuba diving since I'll be
bringing all my own equipment I'm a bit
worried about getting it stolen very
smart of you insurance against theft is
included in all of our plans since scuba
diving equipment is an unusual type of
baggage only plan a can cover it though
alternatively you can get insurance
specifically for scuba diving equipment
and add it to other plans client a is
the most expensive one right what's the
difference between plan B and Plan C
okay for example if you happen to stay
in a hospital abroad Plan B covers
flight tickets for your family to visit
you but Plan C doesn't I see if I get
the special contractor scuba diving
equipment and add it to plan B or Plan C
would it be more expensive than plan a
with Plan B that would make it a little
more expensive but with Plan C it would
be less expensive okay by the way is
there any plan that's cheaper than Plan
C yes we have plan D but it doesn't
cover accommodation if your flight gets
delayed or cancelled so we don't
recommend this plan got it I agree that
I need coverage but I don't think I need
coverage for family plane tickets so
I'll take this plan and combine it with
the insurance for scuba diving equipment

a woman is reporting to her boss about
the results of a questionnaire which
graph represents the employees from the
bee branch last week we asked 200
employees to answer a questionnaire
about their fitness habits the focus of
this questionnaire was on how many hours
they exercise each week did you tally up
the results for the a and B branches
separately yes and employees had four
options less than an hour
around one to two hours around three to
five hours and six hours or more here
are the results so employees in both
branches answered about one to two hours
the most looks like they're exercising
about once a week yes and after that
employees in the a branch were most
likely to answer about three to five
hours while in the B branch the next
most common answer was less than an hour
hmm not even ten percent of employees at
the B branch exercise more than six
hours that's right so I was thinking we
could organize weekly sports events
there that anybody could casually join
that's a good idea it'd give employees a
good chance to socialize too I'll leave
it to you thank you I'll take care of it

well that'd be okay actually but I'm
looking for a group activity I want to
learn more about a leadership role in
this kind of organization as well if
possible you know I have a friend who
helps out with a group that plants trees
with kids are you interested in that
kind of thing yeah that sounds good
Thanks it also be a great opportunity to
interact with children do you want to do
this too maybe but I'd like to try
something a bit more people focused you
know like helping elderly or disabled
people
oh my mother is helping out at the local
Senior Center would that be interesting
to you yes that sounds great
two Baker's are talking how are they
going to display their bread this new
cheesy bread isn't selling well is it
no we placed it on the top shelf though
hmmm maybe it's too high for some people
they probably can't see it then let's
put it on the middle shelf sounds good
they'll see it when they first come into
the store and why don't we put a red
cloth on the shelf so that they know
it's our new bread alright then we'll
have to move the croissants to somewhere
else
top or bottom why don't we put our
regular items on the top shelf they'll
sell well even if they're not easy to
spot that has to be the French bread
then let's put it in a basket
so it'll stand out good idea now the
croissants have to be on the bottom okay
how does it look looks good let's see
how it goes for a week and then decide
if we need to make any adjustments
how are they going to display their
bread
