[pause]
Part One. Questions 1 to 8.

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

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.
[pause]
The answer is A.
Now we are ready to start.
After you have listened once, replay each recording.
[pause]
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: Mmm,
you’
d save money on train fares
…
But it
’
s only the same salary!
Woman: I know, but I want to use my computer skills as well.
[pause]
Two: When is the trade fair?
[pause]
Next year
’
s trade fair in Milan, usually the first week of June, is now on June the twenty-sixth and
twenty-seventh.
Its
organizers
are
not
happy
–
they
were
hoping
that
the
fair
would
be
on
the
twelfth and thirteenth. However, the situation in
…
[pause]
Three: What is the purpose of today
’
s meeting?
[pause]
Woman: When are you seeing Munro International about signing the distribution contract?
Man: Well,
I’
m meeting two of their directors today for lunch so
I’
ll make a date to do that then.
Woman: Fine. Are you going to talk about the merger over lunch?
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.

on aspects of business finance. So, if you want to attract investment or reduce your company
’
s tax
bill, call us on 0207 765 5540
…
[pause]
Seven: Which graph are they looking at?
[pause]
Man : Look at this graph.
There
‘
s a real problem with production at this plant.
Over the last two
years we
’
ve increased our investment in it considerably- here, see?
Woman: Mm, that
’
s true.
Man: And yet production continues at the same level
…
Woman:
Y
ou
’
re right. There
’
s been no fall
in production, but there should be a rise
–
and there
isn
’
t.
[pause]
Eight: What
’
s the problem with the seminar?
[pause]
Woman: Dan.
Man: Y
es.
Woman: Um, slight problem with the time management seminar next week.
Man: Don
’
t tell me
–
Andy Norton can
’
t give the introductory talk
…
and
I’
ve got to do it.
Woman: It
’
s not that. There
’
s such a huge demand this time.
I’
ve had over sixty bookings and the
venue is only big enough for forty. It
’
s funny
, last time we had so few bookings.
[pause]
That is the end of Part One.

[pause]
Part One. Questions 1 to 8.
For question 1-8, you will hear eight short recordings. For each question, mark one letter (A, B or
C) for the correct answer.
Here
’
s an example: When were the machine parts sent?

Woman: Good. He
’
ll certainly get them by the third, then.
[pause]
The answer is A.
Now we are ready to start.
After you have listened once, replay each recording.
[pause]
One: Why is the man late for the meeting?
[pause]
Woman: Sorry we had to start the meeting without you. What happened
–
train late again?
Man: It was, but only by a few minutes. According to my diary, we
’
re not starting till eleven.
Woman: We were, but
I’
ve got to fly out to
the Tokyo office on urgent business this afternoon, so
we had to bring the meeting forward.
Man: Well, no-one told me
…
[pause]
Two: Why is Timtex performing badly?
[pause]
Woman: Timtex isn
’
t doing too well, is it? I see profits are right down again.
Man: Mm. Well, at the moment the market
’
s sharply divided between those who want fashionable
clothing, even though it costs a lot, and those who want to pay as little as possible. So by aiming at
the middle market, Timtex doesn
’
t really please anyone very much.
[pause]
Three: Which graph shows the company
’
s sales?
[pause]
Man:
…
and despite a slight fall early in the year, WP Engineering have in fact done well this year,
with a steady rise in sales up to now, which their Managing Director, William Peters, hopes will
continue into next year
…
[pause]
Four: Where do they decide t to hold the seminar?
[pause]
Woman: Where are we holding the seminar this year?
Man: How about that new hotel in town?
Woman:
It
’
s
too
expensive
for
our
budget
…
somewhere
like
the
conference
center
is
more
suitable
–
it
’
s fully booked though.
Man: And everyone complained about the Trade Club last year
…
- 12 -
http:

Woman: OK, well maybe we should spend more on the venue this year. Let
’
s go with your idea.
[pause]
Five: What does the successful business produce?
[pause]
Woman: These articles about new business are interesting.
Man: Especially the one about the woman whose company sells a game she invented herself.
Woman: Mm. She
’
s doing really well. The one that made soft drinks failed within six months.
Man: Y
es. And the people publishing the magazine did well at first, but then they couldn
’
t find any
more investors.
Woman: Pity. Seemed a good idea.
[pause]
Six: In which department does Ben work now?
[pause]
Woman: Hello Karl! How are you?
Man: I
’
m fine thanks. How are things at the company?
Woman: Oh, there have been so many changes since you left!
Man: I hear Ben
’
s moved?
Woman:
Y
es
…
they
needed
someone
with
an
engineering
qualification
in
Marketing,
so
they
transferred him there.
Man: Who
’
s replaced him in Sales then?
Woman: No-one yet!
[pause]
Seven: Which chart shows the bank
’
s current network of branches?
[pause]
Man:
…
at the moment a quarter of the bank
’
s branches are in Europe, and a third in Asia. The rest
of
their
business
is,
of
course,
in
the States.
But
today
’
s
news
is
that
they
’
re
planning
to close
some US branches
…
[pause]
Eight: What do they still need to put in the hall?
[pause]
Man: I
’
ve just been over the hall to check the arrangements for the shareholders
’
meeting.
Woman: Is everything set up OK?
Man: Almost. They haven
’
t got the microphone in yet. Everything else was all right though
…
the
OHP was there
…
Woman: What about the video player?
Man: Oh, we changed our minds about that, so I didn
’
t book one in the end.
[pause]
That is the end of Part One.

Part One. Questions 1 to 8.
For questions 1-8, you will hear eight short recordings. For each question, mark one letter (A, B or
C) for the correct answer.
Here
’
s an example: Who is Emily going to write to?
[pause]
Man:
Emily,
that
supplier
we
use
has
become
very
unreliable,
and
we
’
ve
decided
to
look
for
another one.
Woman: Seems a good idea.
Man: We don
’
t need to inform our clients, but could you send a note round to all our departments
when we
’
ve decided who to replace the supplier with?
Woman: Y
es, of course.
[pause]
The answer is A.
Now we are ready to start.
After you have listened once, replay each recording.
[pause]
One: Who does the man need to speak to?
[pause]
Man: Hello. John V
ernon here. I had a meeting last Friday with one of your production engineers,
Peter Tribe. He said the person who
’
d really be able to help me would be Charles Pearson. Could
you ask him to ring me?
[pause]
Two: Where is the man telephoning from?
[pause]
Man: Oh, Amy,
I’
m glad you haven
’
t left the office yet! I need the sales budget report urgently for
tomorrow
’
s meeting.
Woman: OK
…
where shall I send it?
- 17 -
http:

Man:
Can
you
it
to
me
here
at
home?
My
address
is
on my
desk. It
’
s
next to
the
number of the hotel
–
you may need to contact me there tomorrow.
[pause]
Three: How many job applications have they received in total?
[pause]
Man: How was the jobs fair?
Woman: Ah, it was really successful! Over five hundred people an hour visited the show. I hope to
be able to interview about a hundred of the three hundred people who
’
ve written in about the posts,
thought it will take at least two weeks to sort out all the applications.
[pause]
Four: How will the company carry out their market research?
[pause]
Woman: What
’
s happening with the market research survey?
Man: Oh, there was some discussion about the best method to use.
Woman: Don
’
t we always do telephone surveys?
Man: Y
es, though I prefer talking to people face to face, but the MD says that
’
s too expensive.
Woman: Y
ou could post the surveys.
Man: Well actually, we decided not to make any changes in the end.
[pause]
Five: Which graph is correct?
[pause]
Man: Over the past twelve months, shares in the new technology companies have risen, but not by
as
much
as
investors
hoped.
Their
performance
is
disappointing
as
we
’
d
expected
them
to
do
much better.
[pause]
Six: When is the woman going to take her holiday?
[pause]
Woman: We must sort out our holiday!
I’
d really like the first half of September
…
Man: Er, I was thinking of going away during that time. We can
’
t both be away at the same time.
Woman: I suppose I could go in July, or August, but
…
Man: Don
’
t worry!
I’
ll go in August. Y
ou take the weeks you wanted
–
that
’
s fine.
[pause]
Seven: What was the man
’
s opinion of the presentation?
[pause]
Woman: Hi, Mike. What did you think of the presentation? I thought it was really excellent.
Man: I just couldn
’
t get interested in it and
I didn
’
t really pay attention to
what the speaker was
saying.
Woman:
Really?
It
was
so
clear,
apart
from
anything
else.
All
those
figures
can
be
really
confusing.
[pause]
Eight: Which chart shows the company
’
s turnover?
[pause]
Man: Turnover improvement in 2002, didn
’
t it?
Woman: Y
es
–
though it was only slightly higher than 2001. The launch of Arial
’
s new car really
- 18 -
http:

affected us. If their sales go on growing like that, it
’
s going to be serious. Look at our drop in sales
since 2000!
Man: So what are we going to do about it?

That is the end of Part One.
