My venue is called the (93) Electric Ballroom. It has a top-of-the-range sound system, and it can hold three thousand audience members. Of course, I would cover Ms. Keller's travel and accommodation expenses. (94) I'll be attending her concert on May 3^rd, so I hope we can discuss this matter in person after the show.

Hello, (95) I'm calling about an item that I recently purchased from SaveWay Supermarket. I came into your store yesterday afternoon because I wanted to use the store discount coupon I printed from your Web site. However, (95). (96) the dishwasher I purchased with the coupon has broken down after one day. I'm extremely disappointed about this, and I want you to do something about it. (97) Please make sure that a customer service manager phones me back tomorrow to discuss this issue. You can reach me at my office at 555-5873. I'll be available all day.

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to your first day here at Metro Chemicals Corporation. (98) I will lead the orientation sessions today, with some assistance from some of my staff in the personnel department. You will learn all about our company's history and our goals for the future. Most of you will be working here at the main production facility, but (99) some of you will be working at the new factory we opened last month. Regardless of where you will be working, all of today's sessions will be useful to you. But first, I'd like to discuss a new company policy. (100) Please turn to page nine in your employee handbooks.

(88) Please give me a quick call to confirm that you have received the package. I hope that you will choose to stay at our hotel again when you next visit New Orleans. Have a great day.

(92) This is an important announcement for anyone waiting to board Flight 321 to Montreal. Due to the cold temperatures, some extra maintenance is being carried out on the aircraft's engines. (93) This will result in a delay of around 45 minutes. We do not anticipate any further delays to this flight. Please be ready to board the aircraft from Gate 17. Boarding will commence at approximately 7:45 p.m. and (94 )the new departure time will be 8:15. We apologize for this inconvenience.

This is Julie Liston with your local news report on WKRP Radio. As I'm sure you all know, (95) our local football team, the Lowell Lions, won the championship game last weekend. Today, the team and coaching staff will join a downtown parade to celebrate their victory. Thousands of fans are expected to come down to watch the parade, which will take place near the team's home base, Rollins Stadium. (96) The street in front of the north gates will be inaccessible to motorists, as the parade will proceed down that street. (97) This is the Lowell Lions' first championship victory since the team relocated from the city of Stockton. Residents of Lowell are sure to be delighted by the success the team has brought to our town.

Hello, Ms. Gardiner. This is Anthony Costas calling from Europa Travel Agency. (98) As you requested, I changed the date of your Zeus Airlines flight. (99) You'll be taking the flight that departs at 11:35 A.M., instead of the one that leaves at 4:55 PM. Your ticket is still for economy class, and the same baggage allowance applies. You can print your ticket at the airport by using the self- service check-in booths in the departure terminal. (100) However, I'd recommend just checking in on the Zeus Airlines Web site 24 hours before your flight. It's a very quick and convenient process. I hope you have a safe flight and an enjoyable vacation.

Before we end this meeting, (71) I'd like to discuss the visitors we will be welcoming tomorrow. As you all know, both the CEO and the chairman of Voltuga Industries will arrive at our headquarters at around 9 a.m. (71) They are considering investing a large sum of money in our company, so we need to try to impress them. During the morning, I will deliver a presentation to them that will highlight our key products and services, our profitability, and our plans for the future. (72) After lunch, I'll be taking them around our manufacturing plant and showing them each stage of our production process. (73) Please don't forget to make sure your desks and work areas are clean. We want to make the best impression possible.

(77) I'd like to welcome all our viewers to this week's episode of "What's Going On?" on the Zing cable TV network. As always we'll spend the next 20 minutes informing you about upcoming events in Portland and the surrounding area. July continues to be a busy month, and (78) this weekend there'll be a street parade and a food fair taking place along Maitland Avenue. Drivers should take note that the street will be inaccessible all weekend. Also, there will be a concert by the pop band Glory Dayz on July 24th. Throughout July, (79) the group is playing some dates on the west coast to promote its new album, which is set to be released in August. Tickets for the concert here in Portland can be purchased directly from the band's Web site. Now, let's take a look at this weekend's weather.

Hello, I'm Ron Maxwell and I'm here to tell you about my company, Mobile Lunchbox. (80) We employ a large team of drivers who can deliver any type of food to any location. Customers can contact us by phone or through our Web site. (80) We take their orders and pass the details on to our drivers, who pick up the food from a restaurant. Of course, a small delivery charge is included. However, (81) until the end of this month, we will be lowering the charge by 50 percent. We've been operating in Brooklyn for almost three years, and it is my pleasure to announce that (82) we just opened a second, slightly smaller business location here in Manhattan last month. Now, I'll pass out some flyers for you all to look at.

I'd like to thank you all for coming this evening . ( 83) Tonight, we bid farewell to Charles Denton, as he prepares to step down from his position next month.  In a few moments, we will start serving you a delicious 5-course meal. But before we begin eating, I'd like to say a few words about tonight's distinguished special guest. (84) Mr. Denton has served as the chairman of our board of directors for almost two decades, and he has played a large part in guiding our company toward success. (85) Several board members and supervisors will give speeches tonight to honor our departing chairman. These will start immediately after we finish eating. But, for now, I hope you all enjoy the wonderful food!

Hi, Lisa. This is Marcus Tandy from Dillinger Architecture. I'm calling about the blueprints you asked me to work on for your company's new headquarters. (86) I'm really sorry, but I think I might need a few extra days to complete the project. Would you mind if I e-mailed them to you on May 21st instead of on May 15th? Everything had been going according to the plan until (87) my laptop badly malfunctioned and I had to have it repaired. When I got it back, I found that my work files were missing, and I hadn't backed them up. (88) Please call me back at your earliest possible convenience. I'll be here at the office all day on Saturday as well so you can easily reach me at my work number. Thanks.

Good morning, everyone. First, (89) I'd just like to remind you all about the factory inspection that will take place tomorrow. As production line supervisors, you must ensure that we achieve a high score. Failure is not an option. (90) You'll all remember that Martin Kent hurt his arm badly last week while using the sorting and packing machine. This resulted in production being halted for almost two hours. (91) In order to avoid any similar incidents, I want you to have a meeting with your workers when you come to work in the morning. Assign each of them to a workstation or machine that matches their experience level. Let's work together to achieve a great result.

Hi, Tom. (92) I'm going to be busy with board meetings all afternoon, so I'd like you to do something important. As you know, Rexar Realty showed me an office space on Third Avenue recently, and they're waiting for my decision. I want you to contact John Allen, the real estate agent I've been dealing with, and tell him we'll take the office space. Don't e-mail him that will take too long. (93) The best way to reach him is at 555-7387. you'll find his business card on my desk. I'm really excited about moving to this office space. (94) It's closer to all our major clients and it's on major subway and bus routes. Please send me a message after you've spoken to the realtor. Thanks, Tom. 

Good morning, team. Well, today is Friday, which means it is cleaning day in our office. I'm sure you've all probably had a look at the cleaning schedule already, (95) but I'll quickly review all your duties anyway. Alison, you're responsible for cleaning the fridge. As you know, (96) it was just bought a few days ago, so it shouldn't be very full or messy yet. Just make sure there are no spillages or open containers. Michelle, you need to vacuum the office and kitchen area, while Hailey will take care of the dishes. (97) Trevor is absent today, so I'll perform his duty. Lastly, Richard, please just tidy up all the scrap paper and files, and empty the trash cans. Okay, let's get to work!

Hello, I'm calling for Mr. Jacob Torrance. (98) This is Claudia Barr, head of passenger services at Maine International Airport. You had a few questions about airport facilities, and I'd be happy to answer them now for you. (99) Your flight will be leaving from Gate 17 in Terminal 3, which is the newest and most modern of our three terminals. There are numerous gift stores in Terminal 3, so you'll definitely be able to find some gifts to take back for your friends and family. Also, there is a pharmacy next to Gate 20, so if you've forgotten any medication, you will be able to find it there. Lastly, (100) the duty-free shop is located between Gate 16 and Gate 18. You can pick up all sorts of tax-free items there. I hope you have a pleasant flight, sir.

M:  Hi, Ms. Watkins, this is Lewis Phillips from Lambert Technologies. I'm calling because some more of our employees have decided to attend the Alternative Technologies Trade Show in March (71), so I need to update our company's reservation (72). Instead of the original 15 attendees, we'll now have 25 employees at the show. So, we'll need to add 10 tickets- and we'd like the option that includes both the breakfast and lunch buffets. Could you please e-mail me the invoice with the updated price? Thank you. (73)

W: Welcome everyone. I'll be taking you on a guided tour of the Lakeside Art Museum today (74). In the nineteenth century, the breathtaking scenery and mild climate attracted many artists to this area. That's why you'll find such an extensive collection of oil paintings from that era. Before we start, (75) I see many of you have cameras out. Please note that this is a private collection. Don't worry, though, you can buy postcards with images of the paintings. So thanks in advance for your cooperation.   Later this afternoon, make sure to visit our café located on the outdoor terrace, where you can enjoy a delicious lunch (76 ) . So, let's begin.

W: Hello, Ms. Robertson. This is Wilma Keller at Charger Enterprises.  I'm calling to offer you the position of head of the marketing department (77). You were definitely our top applicant. We were especially impressed by your five years of overseas experience in Malaysia, where we're planning to start doing business (78). I know you have to move here if you accept this position, so I'll give you more information about how we would help you relocate (79). Please call me back at 555-0195. Thank you.

M: Before you leave for your first service calls of the day, I have an important announcement. Here at Quality Plumbing, we've been using paper invoices for years (80). Unfortunately, we've had some billing errors because the information you write down on your invoices is often hard to read (80, 81). So, each technician will be provided with a laptop computer to use while at the job site (80). It'll allow you to enter all the information for the work invoice. Training sessions on how to use the new system will begin next week. Sometime today, please stop by my office to sign up for a session (82).

M: Hi, Jamie. The vice president just called to say the competition, namely Golden, is going to release a new mobile phone similar to ours. Naturally, we want to get our phone on the market first, so we're going to release our Serena model earlier than originally planned (83, 84). And that means we really need to get moving on the advertising campaign. The TV commercials have to be finished a month ahead of the phone's new release date (85 ) . That does mean our advertising team will be working some long hours. I think we should find some way of rewarding the team once the ads are finished. Let me know what you think.

W: The last item on the agenda is the upcoming financial consultations that we offer to all our employees once a year. These consultations are free (86), one-on-one meetings with certified financial specialists who help people plan for retirement. Keep in mind, (87) this program is purely voluntary, but we receive excellent feedback on this every year. If you're interested, there are meeting times available after work hours. You'll need to sign up for one on the Human Resources benefits Web page before Friday (88).

W: In today's managers' meeting we need to address some comments we've received from customers about our health-food store (89). Over the last month, customers have complained that weekly sale items are not available-so they're leaving the store without being able to purchase those items. (90) This is a concern because we do have more of the items in our storage area, but the shelves are not being restocked in a timely manner. (91) One solution is to hire some additional employees to assist in keeping the shelves full during our busiest shopping hours. (91) We'll begin advertising for the new positions starting next week.

M: Good morning. I'm Jordan Mustafa, and I work in the Information Technology department here at Migden Contractors. Thanks for attending today's training session. ( 92) Today l'll be showing you some important steps that you'll be required to take when e-mailing confidential information. In a few minutes, (93) you'll learn about a software program that's installed on all of our work computers. This software enables employees to lock any type of electronic document and put a password on it for security. But, let's first discuss the types of information that we need to protect. (94) Now, l've given you a packet with some examples of office documents. Please look through it and identify the information you would consider confidential.

W: To start this board of directors meeting, I'd like to talk about the results of last year's energy study for our supermarket chain. If you look at this chart, you won't be surprised to see that we spent most of our money on refrigeration. Unfortunately, there's not much we can do about that as a grocery store. (95,96 ) But I think we can reduce our heating costs by starting to purchase and install new energy-efficient heaters next quarter. To tell us more about these heaters, ( 97 )I'd like to introduce Jeff Smith who's a consultant from Johnstown Energy. Jeff's here to answer any questions you may have.

M”  Hi. I bought a set of dining chairs from your online store-the Dove model? They arrived yesterday, and (98) assembled the first one, but when I opened the last box some of the parts were missing-there weren't any screws included.

(99) So I'm calling to see if you can send some to me by Friday. (100) I'm having some friends over to dinner this weekend, and I really need to have my new chairs ready by then. Please call me as soon as possible. This is Dave Hastings, and my phone number's 555-0186.

28. Look at the graphic. Which bag is the speaker referring to?

M: Good afternoon shoppers, and thank you for choosing Doyle's Market for all your food shopping needs (71). To help you prepare for the upcoming national holiday, Doyle's will be staying open later than usual this weekend- until ten P.M (72). Looking for a bargain? Check out our Web site for discount coupons for many snacks, beverages, and other products (73). Click on “ Special Deals" to find a list of weekly coupons.

W: Hello. This is Michiko Sato from Ento Industries. We have a new type of tire you might be interested in carrying at your truck dealership (74). It's called the EndurePlus . The tires are made from a special type of rubber that's guaranteed to withstand heavy use (75). They're significantly more durable than our other tires, so they'd be great for the industrial vehicles you sell. Since you buy tires from us regularly, we can give you 100 EndurePlus tires at half price, and if they don't sell, you can return them to our factory (76). But I'm sure you'll end up ordering more. Give me a call when you have the chance.

W: Good morning. The main focus of today's meeting is our bus company's quarterly earnings. Overall, we're doing well, but there has been a noticeable drop in ticket sales on routes to Cooper City(77). Cooper City was once a major tourist destination, but since several museums closed in the historic district, fewer passengers choose to go there. This'll now be the third quarter in a row of a steady decline in ticket purchases, so I  think it best to reduce the number of bus trips to that location to just one a day (78). I've created an updated schedule that reflects this change. Please look it over, and let me know what you think (79).

M: Hello. My name is Sandeep Prakash and I'm a reporter for the Ridgedell Times (80). I'm calling because I'm writing an article about the new production your theater is putting on this weekend. I saw on your Web site that you don't allow photography during the performance, and I was wondering whether you'd be willing to make an exception- I'd really like to take some pictures of the sets and actors to publish with my article (81). lf not, I could come to one of your dress rehearsals (82). I'll be out of town tomorrow morning for a celebrity interview, but I'm free to attend a rehearsal any other time this week. Please give me a call back at 555-0152. Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you.

W: All right, everyone. I'm pleased to let you know that the renovation of our outdoor dining patio is almost finished (83). We anticipate that the improvements will bring more customers. And regular customers are very excited about eating outside again! So, that means there'll be extra shifts for anyone who would like them (83,84).  If you're interested, you can sign up in the break room (85). Write your name in the time slots that you'll be available to work. But remember, the sign-up sheet will only be there for a few days.

W: Hello, this is Xinyu Wu from the Council for the Arts. I'm calling to thank you for your generous donation during our recent fundraiser (86). Also, I wanted to ask if you'd like to write something about what inspired you to donate (87 ) . We're sending out some promotional material with a schedule of our summer programs soon, and we're including a few personal stories about what art means to our members and why they think it's important to what support art. I  can stop by your office some morning this week to discuss it with you (88 ) , if you'd like . I have some meetings near your office building on Tuesday and Wednesday, so let me know if that would work.

M: Good afternoon, team. I just met with the budget committee and got some disappointing news. They turned down our request to add three more staff to our department (89) - we'll be able to hire only one person to help us work on the new series of advertisements for Strike athletic shoes (90).
Unfortunately, this means the entire team will have to put in some overtime hours for the next few weeks. However, we did get an extension on the deadlines for our other projects (91) . They're now due on May fifteenth, which gives us an extra month to work on them once we finish the Strike campaign.

W: Thank you for inviting me to attend this board of directors' meeting (92). My name is Junko Ito, and I'm the Chief Digital Information Office here at Lastriss Tech. As you may have heard,  some personal data from one of our clients was compromised recently. This has never happened before and it appears to have been a random occurrence ( 93). Nevertheless, the technical team has already developed a new version of our software which will be released next week (94). It includes extra layers of encryption to protect our users' data. At the next directors' meeting I'll give compromised you an update.

W: Thinking about starting your own business? The Rickson Center is here to help. Since we're government funded, all resources and services are completely free to the public (95). Our mission? To provide guidance and counsel to individuals interested in becoming small-business owners We have an extensive network of offices around the country. Recently, we've opened one here in Keene Township (96). For a list of workshops that are going to be held in Keene, go to our Web site, ricksoncenter.com. We're offering topics such as Business Plans" and "Networking Tactics." But don't hesitate!  The April eighth workshop is already filled (97), so take the opportunity to register for any of the others now.

M: This is Bert Johnson with another installment of Modern Music Today. Before starting the show, I want to remind listeners of this weekend's jazz festival. Be sure to visit our Web site to buy discounted tickets. (98)

So the topic of today's show is movie soundtracks (99). Last week, we asked listeners to respond to a survey indicating the composer of their favorite movie soundtrack and the survey results are in. We're fortunate that one of the top composers lives here in the area, and she was kind enough to accept our offer to come in for an interview. Joining me now to discuss her latest work is the composer who received almost  6,000 of your votes (100).
