Questions 1 to 8.For questions 1-8, you will hear eight shortrecordings. For each question, mark one letter(A, B or C) for the correct answer.Here is 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: Yes, of course.[pause]The answer is A.Now we are ready to start.After you bare listened once, replay each recording.[pause]One: What is the quotation for one thousand brochures with colour photos?[pause]Man: How much can you quote for our brochure order?Woman: If you want the colour photos, it'll be more expensive. Er, for two thousand, it'll be two thousand five hundred pounds, or for a thousand, it'll be one thousand, five hundred pounds. Without colour photos, the price goes down a bit.Man: How much?Woman: Er, for a thousand, it would be one thousand two hundred.[pause]Two: When will the new Personnel Officer start work?[pause]Woman: Jane is leaving next week, isn't she?Man: Yes. We recruited the new Personnel Officer in July, but because she has to relocate from Newcastle, I don't thinkshe'll be able to begin until October.Woman: Well, we'll need to arrange some temporary cover for September.Man: OK. I'll look into it.[pause]Three: Which pie chart is correct?[pause]Man: . . . and I'm pleased to report that here at WTM, our market share has increased by ten per cent, taking us ahead of our rivals PTA for the first time. Of course, AVC are still the market leaders with a fifty-five-per-cent share, so...[pause]Four: Why is Jane unhappy about Michael's report?[pause]Woman: Where's the report I asked for, Michael?Man: Sorry, Jane, it's here, just finished. It's a bit late, but...Woman: That doesn't matter. Has anyone else seen it?Man: I circulated copies internally. I thought you asked me to.Woman: Not before I'd checked it first. If you've made mistakes in it, it won't be very good for the department.[pause]Five: What is the woman's current job with BGT?[pause]Man: Can you tell me about your work with BGT?Woman: Well, I started in nineteen ninety-two as Account Manager. The General Manager was keen to promote young staff quickly, so shortly after that, I became Project Team Leader. My boss, the Project Manager, became General Manager last year.Man: And you were promoted?Woman: Yes, I took his place.[pause]Six: What does the speaker think the company should do?[pause]Man: So, what will you do to keep the business going through this difficult time?Woman: As a low-cost airline, we're happy with the numbers using the internet to reserve ticket and customers report that our prices are competitive. We now need to look atcutting back on in-flight catering, as sales of snacks ha really dropped recently.[pause]Seven: What does the woman need to get?[pause]Man: Is there a sound system in the seminar room?Woman: Well, we've got a microphone, and there's a video player there...Man: Mmm, I'm not sure the MD will use it. A flipchart is essential, though.Woman: Oh, I never thought of that, I'll fetch on now. Shall I remove the video?Man: No, leave it, I might use it in the afternoon[pause]Eight: Which graph shows the company figures?[pause]Man: Figures published today by the Falmouth Group received a mixed reaction.

And could you collect the other one whenyou deliver the new desk?Woman: Yes.

Could you credit our account?Woman: Yes, that'll be twenty-seven pounds. We could deliver the new desk next Thursday, the fourteenth, or the following week on thenineteenth.Man: Urn, the later date is best. You've got our address.Woman: Yes.

Thank you for coming to hear abont Arlington Park. Some of you know a lot about it already, but for people who don't, the first thing to say is that if you do want to see what sort of work we do, on every third Thursday in the month, there's an exhibition, so come along to that - you're very welcome.At Arlington Park, we aim to help you not only to get the most out of your staff, but also the most out of you yourself. Our next two weekend workshops are covering two very important areas in this field: on the tenth of June, we have a workshop on communication.Nothing could be easier in our modern world and yet nothing is more difficult, too. On the seventeenth of July, wehave a change in the programme; we previously advertised a course on using technology, but that day is now set aside for a course called simply 'Leadership', run by one of our best trainers, Richard Gordon.You probably know his management books.The one-day weekend workshops are just one of the types of courses we offer. We also offer three-day programmes, and these include accommodation. I'll leave a pile of leaflets about those with you, so that you can look at them at your leisure.Arlington Park is very well equipped, and managers always enjoy their stay. Our facilities are excellent, and we have special training suites, as well as a fitness centre.Every quarter, we publish a magazine - I've got a few copies here for those of you who haven't seen it before. We've just changed the name; it used to be Developing People, now it's called Moving Forward. The articles in it are written by the trainers and by the managers attending our courses.If anyone would like to go on our mailing list, would you please fill in one of these enquiry forms and leave it at reception? I'll pick up all the forms at the end of the morning. Now, onto more detail...[pause]Now listen to the recording again.[pause]That is the end of Part Three. You now bare twenty seconds to check your answers.[pause]Part Four. Questions 23 to 30.You will hear an interview with John Winterman,the Managing Director of a sports-equipment manufacturing company called Turners.For each question, 23-30, mark one letter (A, B orC) for the correct answer.After you have listened once, replay the recording.You now have forty-five seconds to read through the questions.[pause]Now listen, and mark A, B or C.Woman: ... and this morning, we welcome John Winterman, Managing Director of Turners, the sports company which manufactures golf and tennis equipment.Man: Morning.Woman: So, John, you took charge of the company after a management buy-out. What made you and the other managers sure that it would be a successful move?Man: Well, when we bought the business in nineteen ninety-seven, we knew there were financial problems to solve, including some hidden debts. But we felt the products themselves were really excellent, and a good basis from which to grow the company. And, although the brand image wasn't particularly well known, we felt it was possible to build on it.Woman: I see. I believe the previous owners weren't specialists in the field...Man: That's right.., they were a large engineering group called AFT.Woman: Did that cause any difficulties?Man: Yes. Although AFT used the same management systems as in its other -engineering - businesses, and these seemed to be working, the production system just wasn't right for a consumer goods company. Turners offers a wide range of products, and has a complex business mix as a result.Woman: I see. And how did their management systemaffect distribution?Man: Well, the first thing we realised was that, although there was an up-to-date computer system, it was impossible to follow the movement of products around the world. The items we manufactured had a different product number in each country! The methods of transport also varied enormously from one country to another, which made the invoices complicated.Woman: And what sort of service was the customer getting?Man: Well, it wasn't very efficient. Our customers, the sports outlets, complained that although they were usually on time, orders often had items missing. I think these outlets only stayed with us because there was still demand for our products.Woman: And how do you intend to promote the brand?Man: Well, with sports equipment, image is all important,because there's so much competition. Although AFT had been active in their promotions with sports clubs in the early days, they hadn't kept up their efforts. Consequently, many players, especially those still at schools, are unfamiliar with our name. Our aim now is to make Turners products a big name at all the important sports events across the world.Woman: What was your approach to reorganizing the company?Man: Well, the first thing we did was appoint new directors.Woman: And where did you start?Man: Well, we knew we had to spend money on marketing, but the most important thing was to introduce better management control of finances, and after that, to look very carefully at the organisation and cost of manufacturing.Woman: Did you make any changes there?Man: Oh, yes. To take one example, at one point we started out manufacturing tennis balls in Germany. But costs were lower in the Philippines. So in the end, we moved all our manufacturing there. By the end of this year, ninety-five per cent of our production will be there, although we are opening one small plant in Indonesia, too.Woman: And is the company on a better financial basis now?Man: Absolutely. We'll be in profit this year, and looking to expand.Woman: You plan to introduce new products then?Man: Yes. We've just launched a new product, a waterproof tennis ball, and we've signed contracts with several players from different countries to give us an international image, so I'm really pleased about that. But our key objective is to develop the products we have, such as tennis rackets, and improve them further.Woman: So the future looks promising.Man: It certainly does.Woman: Thanks, John.Man: Thank you.[pause]Now listen to the recording, again.[pause]That is the end of Part Four. You now have ten minutes to transfer your answers to your AnswerSheet.[pause]Note: Teacher, stop the recording here and time tenminutes. Remind students when there is one minute remaining.That is the end of the test.。

BEC商务英语中级听力unit04a大耳朵英语2007-09-1222:21:52【打印】感谢大耳朵网友"christyjiao"提供的听力原文!1 The thing is ,When you buy a car,you're spending a lot of money so you want to get excited about what you'rebuying.Reliability and after-sales service are all very important,but they're not exactly exciting ,are they? I want my car to say something about me .I want something which looks sporty and attracts attention . I don't mind paying that bit extra for something that makes me look good.2 A lot of my friends have got e-mail so I wanted to buy a computer. I just didn't know much about them, and I found that all that information you get about performance and so on is totally confusing. And then I saw that advert on TV with those new computers. It showed how easy it is to get onto the Internet and send e-mail. So I went to a computer superstore, had a look at one and bought it straightaway.3 I thought buying a mobile phone would be easy, but itwasn't .You ask how much they cost and you get all this stuff about monthly service contracts and different tariffs at different times of day .It's almost impossible to work out how much they actually cost! Anyway,I worked out that the best deal for me was a one-year all-inclusive package. So that's what I bought.4 I used to think that one refrigerator was pretty muck like any other. But then I saw this TV programme about how much energy kitchen appliances use. Fridges are the worst, apparently. That's because they're on all the time so they're really bad for the ozone layer-all those CFC gases or whatever they call them . So I decided to get a fridge that doesn't give off lots of harmful gases .And it's cheaper to run as well .5 It's not even a particularly well-known make of video recorder but I had one of them before which I was really happy with. I didn't have much money when I bought the first one so I just got the cheapest one. I could find. But it was great.It lasted years and I never had any problems with it .So, of course, I decided to buy the same brand again. I mean, a friend of mine recently bought a really well-known make and it's been back to the shop twice already.Listening 2 and 3I Now you've set up Sainsbury's Bank, how do you market its products?D Well, the core target for Sainsbury's Bank is , quite understandably, the Sainsbury's customer. So, the vast majority of marketing is either instore or through direct mail. We've bought very little advertising space,but we do also use public relations as a marketing tool .I And how successful has it been ?D It's actually exceeded all our expectations. We've already attracted over 700,000 customers within 12 months of starting trading .I Really? And how does a new bank like Sainsbury's succeed in attracting people away form the High Street banks?D Quite simply by offering value for money and excellentcustomer service standards. I think Reward Points are another big attraction. With a Sainsbury'a Bank Visa Card, for example, a customer can soon collect a lot of Reward Points, which of course can be exchanged for air miles or other kinds of vouchers.I And what makes you think you 'll succeed in such a competitive sector?D Well, our key operational advantage is that, as atelephone-only operation, Sainsbury's Bank doesn't have the high overheads that a branch network does . Therefore, we're able to offer better rates . I think another important point is that Saintbury's experience in retailing means that its bank can apply a retailer's customer-focused mentality to the financial services sector.I Now some observers say that supermarket chains risk damaging their brands by moving into a sector which they have no experience of. How do you react to that?D Well, that assumes that supermarket will offer the same poorcustomer service as the traditional banks and therefore attract the same bad publicity. As I said, customer service is precisely our strength. We firmly believe that our commitment to our customers will prevent brand damage.I Yes, other supermarkets obviously feel the same way and we regularly see reports about how they 're planning to sell computers, cars and even houses. How do you see the Sainsbury's brand developing in the future?D Well, the brand is continuously evolving and developing . The move into financial sevices is another stage of that ongoing development . When you look back at the history of the Sainsbury's brand ,it's already been developed in many different ways. Who could have imagined , back in 1869, that a small family dairy would grow into a major retail group operating over 800 stores? I've no doubt that the brand will continue to develop, but it's difficult to say exactly how.。

BEC听力专项练习听力原文(2) 第三套题ListeningPart Two .Questions 13—22Section One .Questions13—17Question 13This looks funny, but I don't know if it has the same sense of humour as me .This second one is pretty, but it doesn’t any of my personality or taste in it. Oh, I like this one. The design is attractive and the message is warm and friendly.Question 14I started with some game shows this morning. I answered almost all the questions correctly. At 11:30 I switched to the cable channel and the film was so boring that I changed to Channel 5.That's Animal World. But I was so tired that I fell asleep.Question 15There was a big book like a piece of furniture with lots of long drawers that had cards inside. Each card represents a different book. These cards are all arranged in alphabetical order. If you know the name of the book, the name of the author or the subject, you'll be able to find the book you need.Question 16It is said in the newspaper that the temperature will be in the mid-eighties Fahrenheit in the east today. No rain is expected, and the forecast says the temperature won't go below seventy-five for the next week or so.Question 17It uses lighter material in the body and frame. It adopts a new kind of carburetor which cuts down on petrol consumption. That will save your money. The steering and brakes powerful. You can take a test drive and see how it runs.Section Two Questions 18—22Question 18I just wanted to say well done for getting that contract. You did a GREat job and we know it wasn't easy. What would you say to a celebratory meal? I know a very good restaurant near here. I’m sure we could get a table for lunch if you're free.Question 19Are you going to Head office on Monday? If you are, do you want to go with me? I could pick you up about 8 and we'd be there by 10 if there wasn’t too much traffic. What do you say?Question 20Could you do me a favour? I'm supposed to be seeing the boss this afternoon but something’s come up. Actually, 'm going out to dinner.Could you make some sort of sensible excuse and say I’ll catch up with him on Monday?Question 21I'm coming in for a meeting with Mr. Savage today at 10 and I just wanted to be sure that I know how to reach you. Are you in that large building at the corner of Station Road? It’s called Cintra House, or something?Question 22Well, if you haven't any left in that colour, I don’t think I'll bother. What about the trousers on page 14? Have you got those in a medium size? I’ll have two pairs of them in grey, please. Do you change for postage and packing?。

银川海派英语【BEC听力】专项练习听力原文(1)Part twoQuestions 13It's been a bad day for us today. The art market is extremely sensitive and I'm afraid I expected the picture to go for a lot more.Unfortunately it didn't reach its reserve price and so we are left with a very expensive picture which we have failed to sell. I'm afraid I have to take that sort of risk.Question 14Well if you want my professional opinion my advice is that in order to avoid paying more tax than you need to you should ensure that your overseas representatives act as consultants to your company. It's better for you if they are not technically your employees. This is especially important as they only work for you on a part-time basis. Now it's quite a different matter if you are planning to open regional offices…Question 15Finally thank you for coming here today at such short notice. I hope that by the end of today all staff will be aware of the implications of the takeover and I am relying on you as my senior managers to ensure that their concerns and queries are fully answered. It won't be possible to guarantee that their jobs are safe forever but at least you will be able to reassure them that there will be no redundancies in the next 12 months. Now if you have any questions…Question 16I've got three deliveries in the London area and all of those are top priority. However if you're willing to take a chance there's a good possibility that I could do a pick-up from the airport early this afternoon.Question 17This report has to be on the Minister's desk by Monday morning. I‘ve had the researchers on it for a few weeks and it's looking pretty good. I don’t think the Government is going to have too much difficulty as the statistics speak for themselves. There is a clear drop in the unemployment figures even taking into account seasonal factors.Section Two. Questions 18—22Question 18I've decided to circulate the report you produced on your visit to Pakistan to the senior management team. Before it goes out can you make sure that those sales forecasts you pet in are as accurate as possible? I suggest you speak to Daniel in Marketing. He‘s pretty reliable.Question 19I want you to come to the committee meeting this afternoon. It′ s going to be quite a tricky one fo r me so I'll be needing you to made an accurate record of everything that goes on…… Of courseI‘ll check it with you afterwards. I know how confusing ti can be when everyone seems to be speaking at once!Question 20Pam Jones from Human Resources has just called. She wants me to let Mr. Easton know that he can start next week. You know the man who came for an interview last Friday. Trouble is I forgot to ask him what his telephone number is. Still I suppose it world be better if I put it in writing don't you think?Question 21I'm determined that we are going to get all these consultants′ names and details sorted. What I want you to do is to have a word with the IT department and get them to understand what it is we want and then to get them to recom mend some specific software. After that you‘d better go on some sorts of training courses so that you'll be able to run it efficiently. Then we’ll be in a much better position to find the person we need quickly.Question 22I've just been in a meeting with some of the staff from finance and you wouldn‘t believe how disorganized it was. There was no agenda and someone had lost the minutes from the last meeting. Could you put something in writing for me to remind departmental managers that it is not acceptable to hold meetings without the appropriate preparation and follow-up?第二套题ListeningPart twoSection one. Questions 13—17Question 13Yes the meeting seemed to go pretty well and we covered all the important areas in my agenda. There were one or two small points that I would have liked to have got through but I can probably have my assistant send up memos to the managers of each department concering these. I must say I was very impressed with your ideas for the future of your department. Go od work…… I'm also very impressed with that young man in the finance department. What‘s his name?Uh Mike. He could have quite a future in front of him. I can certainly use fresh ideas like his in this company.Question 14Well I'm quite nervous abou t it to be honest. I‘ve never met the boss before and I've heard he can be a bit dismissive of younger managers. And it’s only BECause my immediate superior is off sick that I've been asked to represent my department at today‘s meeting. It's so early as we ll. Nine o’clock. That's why I‘m hoping there're no delays on the way today. At least we are making good time so far. That’s all need—to be late. It's bad enough forgetting to bring any money with me today. That‘s GREat for someone in my department isn't i t? Question 15 I think I mentioned to you all before that at the interdepartmental meeting with theManaging director last week it was put to me that we need to look into expansion into new markets. And I am interested in any suggestions that anyone in our department may come up with.You had some excellent ideas for expansion last year when we moved to the Mid-eastern marker.So if you could all give that some thought I know Sarah that you said you looked into the possibility of further eastern European customers on your last trip to the Czech Republic and I'll be interested in your report uh when it‘s ready.Question 16And Androme have you got those figures for the suggestions for the new courses that we hope to be able to offer? Or were those in the file that you left in the office too. I'd like to take them with me to the interdepartmental meeting this afternoon as it should be a good opportunity to try to persuade everyone there of the value of the new courses and the new language training scheme in particular. If I‘m successful in this it could mean some profitable expansion for all of us in our department. So please remember to get then to me this time.Question 17Well I don't know. We didn‘t really talk about my department. Most items o n the agenda seem to be about our new marketing strategy or something which has very little to do with me. Well I suppose it will affect me eventually. Because if we do expend a lot more staff are going to be needed. So I'll be busy interviewing for a whil e. But apparently that’s unlikely to be before next September. Actually that is a point though. Perhaps we should think about taking our holiday in France before then because you said something about being very busy in your job after August. We don't want the same complications as last year.Section Two.Questions 18—22Question 18Well I wrote to them last week thanking them for their help over the accounting matter. I've just had a rely. They‘ve written to say we were right to decide to reduce costs which is nice to know. But they want us to cut back even more. Barry suggested that I pass it on to the accounts department to see if they could make more savings. But I think we've gone as far as we can. So I’m just going to leave it for the moment. If they're really insistent they‘ll write again. But I don't think I need to do anything about it right now.Question 19I was quite surprised to get their letter actually. In the past they've done nothing but complain abort everything. There always s eemed to be something wrong. So it‘s strange that they now want so many of the components especially as they're relatively untested. We’ve only had them on the marker for a month. They want us to deliver sixty by September. I'm not sure we can meet thedel ivery dates they want. And I wanted to call and discuss it with them over the phone but I think it‘s better if the sales department deals with it directly. We've had so many problems with them in the past. I think I’ll keep out of it.Question 20I've just had a letter from them about that actually. They want to know what we‘re going to do. They didn't agree with our decision to expand with Australia so now they want to know if we’re proposing to go into New Zealand as well I don't want to give too much away until we know what they are doing. I was going to write and ask for further details of their expansion scheme but I‘ve decide not to. I think it will be better done face to face. So I asked my secretary to set something out for next week. And hopefully it will be fairly friendly.Question 21About 2 months ago we ordered the new photocopiers that they were selling. But they sill haven't appeared. Now they‘ve written to say they are sorry they weren't delivered on time. They expect to deliver them by the end of this week. That’s lucky because I was just about to write tocomplain about them taking so long. I won't write now but I still don‘t think we ought to just accept it. So I'm going to give them a ring to talk about the problems. If we don’t sa y anything then the same thing will just happen again next time. But I'd like to keep it informal for now.Question 22I said I wanted to make it out to Harrison. So they've written to say they are organizing something next month. Apparently he is going to give a talk about the ideas in his new book. They‘ve asked everyone in the sales & marketing to go. Of course they're right abort accepting as he’s the expert in their field. The problem is I wanted the opportunity to have a detailed discussion with h im. I don't want to just listen to a lecture with a lot of other people. So I‘m going to reply saying I'm very sorry and I’ve decided not to go.银川雅思培训去哪家好？首选海派国际英语，我们打造专业师资团队。

银川海派英语【BEC听力】专项听力原文(4)第七套题Part Two. Questions 13—22Section One. Questions 13——17Question13 Joe I've got Mr Brand on the line and he says he hasn’t got the cheque for his trip yet. Apparently he had to pay the hotel in cash and it was quite a lot of money. Do you know if his form has been processed yet ?Question14 We are going to start the campaign by putting full page ads in all the major newspapers over a period of a month. They'll be in weekly probably on a Monday and after that we are planning to focus on TV and Radio.Question15 Woman: Mr Carpenter has decided to postpone it until after the next consignment has gone out. I shall fax everyone who was due to come and give them some alternative dates.Question16 I shall be coming round to each of you to discuss how you think things have gone so far. I'm going to need as much detail as possible BECause I want the documentation to be a realistic record of events.Question17 It's very sophisticate model. You can programme it to send stuff at any time and then if there’s a problem a message appears on this little screen here. It's even suggests what you can do about it to put it right!Section Two. Questions 18—22Question18 Well in a sense I've got no choice in the matter. No one’s act ually told me to get the qualification. It's just that form my point of view my own sense of confidence if you like I feel that if I’m going to be responsible for instructing other people in the company then I should do something to improve my own level of knowledge. On the other hand I don't know what I feel about the course itself. One thing is for sure I am not looking forward to the journey there and back every day. It’s going to be very tiring. Mind you I know I shouldn't complain. It’s only for a mont h after all.Question19 It's certainly a challenge isn’t it? Of course I am nervous in some ways. Who wouldn't be? Then again there’s a lot to look forward to as well. For starters it's going to be something like twenty people doing it. So I’m sure that's going to include some interesting types you know people you enjoy spending time with on the course itself and also afterwards. Could be some useful contacts too. Well OK. I need the course. If I don’t it I won't be able to cope with all the latestequipm ent. I mean these days you have to swim fast to stay afloat don’t you? But still I don't see why it can’t be enjoyable at the same time.Question20 What I mainly feel really is nervous. You know like I am being sent back to school or something. I am feeling very lacking in confidence which is of course not the best starting position. After all these years of doing the job and doing it well I'm proud to say and picking it up as I’ve gone along. It seems embarrassing to be told to go get a piece of paper to have to have a certificate especially when you feel you know what you're doing. Yes of course I do realize there’ll be things on the course I haven't done before. And that concerns me too. Because I don’t know how well I'll retain it all if I’ll be able t o recall it afterwards. Oh perhaps it will all be OK in the end I certainly hope so.Question21 Yes the course content does look good in the brochure. I know in a sense I shouldn't complain. After all it’s a chance to enhance my skills and knowledge. And that's welcome at times. But it’s still a bit of gamble isn't? I just have to hope it really does improve my chances of hanging on to my job here. It’s a bit frightening to tell you the truth with so many people having to go. After 20 years in a company you don't want to think about being out of work do you? But I really wish the brochure would tell you more. It looks good as I said but there’s no detail nothing on the time or the teachers. So I feel bit in the dark really.Question22 At this age you've just got to want to get ahead and do whatever it takes to be ahead of the test. That’s what drives me anyway. I just can't wait to get started. Ever since I first saw the notice up on the board I knew it was for me. I do appreciate it’s a bit far away. Yes and I am a little hazy on some of detail or what the other people will be like. But those are small things unimportant points to my mind. It's certainly not cheap. Not by anyone’s standards. But you get what you pay for don't you? I am really confident th at I’ll be enjoying the benefits of it for years to come. So I'm sure it represents good value for money and time.第八套题Part Two. Questions 13—22Section One. Questions 13——17Question13 Well I guess it's all for the best in the long run. I mean it’s never been easy with all of us spread out over the city. And then there are different phone lines. Half the time when I am answering calls they've come to the wrong branch. Then there are the students. I mean half of them have never been in the city to even this country before. It’s no wonder they are late. They don't know how to find their way round. But this way when all the changes are over and we’ve settled down in the new building we'll be easier to get to. So I reckon they’ll get here more promptly. And then won't have any excuse any more for coming in late and missing lectures.Question14 I think it all depends where you're sitting—where you’re looking from. Overall I'm convinced it’ll work out well It's the right decision. I’d have done the same thing. I'm really convinced that a large number of students are going to be delighted. They’ll see the benefits immediately. OK yes I' anticipating some complaints. With people of this nature I think that’s inevitable but the majority will welcome it. I've explained it to all my lecturers. They understand it accept it. It also means I can organize the timetables better so they’ll do their teaching over a shorter day. So that's obviously a benefit. I’m sure the rest of the staff will feel the same.Question15 In the early days I had to take premises all over the place anywhere I could get them just to get the business off the ground. But over the years I've always looked for the opportunity to get everyone together on one site. When all this is over we’ll look better and we'll perform better. I know it means we’re going to attract more business. And another thing we'resupposed to keep all the records on the databaxxxxse but half the time the various PCs aren’t working or the network's down or something. Th at can surely only get better. Personally I can’t wait.Question16 I can't say I really understand why they’re doing it. I mean it's all these buildings all this equipment. You know it seems they’re organized as it is. It's got to be money hasn’t it? Tha t's why we’re all here in the lectures-keep costs under control. Of course lots of us are late for class sometimes and I know that's bad and embarrassing-walking in when everyone else is already in their place and its all started ages ago. But I do think i t’s a bit worrying that it will surely mean some of them are going to lose out. I mean they wouldn't be doing this if they didn’t recognize they would save some salaries would they?Question17 I wish them luck. That's the main thing I say…I think they’re an excellent organization—very well run. The students are always happy more than satisfied. I just think it's beyond my imagination what they’ll have to do. I mean you think of all the different branches all the things all the procedures can you imagine what all the changing will involve? Anyway I suppose the bottom line is as long as they keep their external relations as efficient as they've always been there’s no problem. At the end of the day I want my percentage. It's up to them to sort out the move.Section Two. Questions 18—22Question18 We've been discussing it for months and now they’ve finally made a decision. Personally I think we should have a vote and get all the shareholders involved before any new factory is built. It's all very well diver sifying into new areas but it’ll involve a huge investment. And getting bigger doesn't always bring proportion that rewards. Everybody seems to think that going over the finer details is very boring. So we’ve ended up making these decisions without any pro per research. I'm not very pleased about some of the aGREements we reached. Certain matters don’t seem to be looked into properly at all'Question19 Well I'm relieved that’s over. It's always so awkward when the previous person was so popular but the vot e was pretty unanimous. That’s encouraging as it's always better to have a leader who everyone supports. I don’t think my bid was very successful because I felt so apprehensive. It's difficult when you have to try to persuade everyone but I was the logical person to propose him. I shouldn’t have been worried because it was just a question of standing up and explaining why. Anyway he's got lots of new ideas so hopefully he’ll be a success. And I'll be associated with it.Question20 I'm not sure it’s realis tic to expect us to achieve those sorts of figures. I mean it hasn't been on the market all that long. It can take ages for this sort of product to get establish. Bill really didn’t understand the problems. And I always seem to end yp arguing with him. He got annoyed as usual. But he's been unrealistic about what’s possible. I managed to stay calm but because of our enormous difference of opinion no decision's been made yet.Question21 That's it. We finally decided to do it. The meeting went on for ages and I don’t think the new chairman was very happy. But it's a majority decision. We proposed that the company will be floated on the market in June or July but we don’t know what the price ill be yet. Greentown disagreed strongly with Mr.Lee about the date. But that was resolved in the end. I thought they'd never stop arguing about it but I completely support what was settled in the end.Question 22 I think it's a good plan. It has some problem in that area and it’s good u has thought and has come up with something innovative. She gave the presentation very well. And it's something we’ve never thought of before. And everybody understood that is the direction we want to go in the future. I think it all went very well. It really got me thinking. And we've all got to go off and look at what she’s proposed so that we can come up with some ideas of our own for next week's follow-up meeting.银川雅思培训去哪家好？首选海派国际英语，我们打造专业师资团队。
