Bộ câu hỏi trắc nghiệm tiếng Anh TOEIC Part 3 - Đề 2

M-Cn: Hi, Ms. Santiago. It's Jim, your manager, calling. I just got an e-mail from Bergan Industries. Apparently the presentation you gave yesterday really impressed them, and now thanks to you they've decided to use us to supply all their paper products.

W-Am: That's great news! But I can't take all the credit. James Tanaka in our advertising department made the slides for my presentation. He's very creative.

M-Cn: I'm not surprised. Mr. Tanaka also did a wonderful job designing our catalog this year. Be sure to let him know that we appreciate his abilities.

W-Am: I'll do that. He's out of the office today, but I'll be sure to give him that feedback when I see him tomorrow.

-Br: Hey Ben, will you be attending the regional directors' meeting in Paris next Monday?

M-Au: Yes, I will. You too?

W-Br: I am, but... how do I board the train without a paper ticket? I just received the e-mail confirmation for my trip, but I'm not sure how to retrieve the ticket.

M-Au: When you get to the station, look for the self-serve kiosks. Make sure you have the reservation number with you, and follow the instructions to print out the paper ticket.

W-Br: OK. I'm on the four o'clock train, so I'll make sure I leave the office a bit early to do that.

M-Au: I'll actually be on the same train. We should share a taxi to the train station.

M-Au: Hey Sue. Hector and I are going to lunch at Antonio's Restaurant. Would you like to join us?

M-Cn: A few others from the office are coming as well. It'll be a good chance for you to socialize with your new colleagues.

W-Am: Thanks for inviting me, but isn't that a bit far away to go for lunch? It would take us twenty minutes just to get there, so we wouldn't have enough time to eat.

M-Au: Oh, you're thinking of the original Antonio's, by the town hall. They just opened a second place much closer to here.

M-Cn: Right. And we plan to go a little early, to beat the lunch rush.

W-Am: In that case, sure. Let me just tell my manager that I'll be going to lunch early.

W-Br: Hello. I'd like to purchase some tables and chairs for a new restaurant I'll be opening. I saw the prices on your Web site, but I was wondering if you have any discounts for large orders.

M-Cn: We do offer discounts, as long as you're ordering at least twenty sets of tables and chairs. Do you already know how many you'll need?

W-Br: I don't have the exact number yet, but I'm sure it'll be more than twenty. I was also wondering how quickly you'd be able to deliver the furniture. The restaurant is set to open next month, so I'd like everything delivered within the next two weeks.

M-Au: Jin-Hee, the company's closing the parking area in front of our research lab for construction next month. Can you send an e-mail to tell the rest of the team?

W-Br: Yeah, sure. Did they decide where everyone should park in the meantime?

M-Au: We're supposed to use the west parking area-till the construction's finished.

W-Br: That's quite a long walk from our lab. When the weather's bad, the roads around here can get really icy.

M-Au: Don't worry. The company's providing shuttles from the parking area to our lab. Could you add that to the e-mail as well?

W-Br: Hi, Mr. Lin, I'm calling from Central Dentistry. You have an appointment with Dr. Sumner on June eighth at two P.M. 361 was wondering if we'd be able to move your appointment to three o'clock.

M-Cn: Well, I have a sales call scheduled that morning, but I think three o'clock would be all right.

W-Br: Wonderful, we really appreciate it. Most of our staff will be attending a dental workshop earlier in the day, and they are concerned about getting back in time.

M-Cn: No problem at all. I'll mark down that change in my calendar right now.

M-Au: Hey, Sunisa. We're about to leave to cater the event at Kimball Medical Foundation, but there aren't enough

cups. Do you know where I can find some?

W-Am: Oh no. I ordered some from our supplier two days ago, but they still haven't delivered them. This isn't the first time this has happened

M-Au: Well, we're supposed to start setting up our tables at Kimball Medical by nine-thirty, so what do you suggest? I don't have time to stop by a store on the way.

W-Am: OK, I can help out. I'll go buy more and bring them to you.

M-Au: Thanks. I'll text you when we get there, so you know where to find us

W-Am: Hi, Dorota. Markus and I wanted to stop by to welcome you to Emmerson BioTech. We interviewed a lot of chemistry majors for this summer internship, and you were our top pick.

M-Au: And while we're here, I can show you how to fill out the time sheets that you'll have to turn in to Payroll at the end of every week. Do you have time to go over that now?

W-Br: Well, I'm supposed to go to the main laboratory in a few minutes for an overview of the experiments that I'll be working on this summer.

W-Am: Oh, sorry. We should have mentioned this sooner. The lab is closed for cleaning today, so your lab orientation has been postponed until tomorrow.

M-Cn: Excuse me. I'm looking for a video camera. I've never bought one before, and I'm wondering if you could make some suggestions.

W-Br: Sure. It'll help, though, to know what your specific needs are and how much you'd like to spend.

M-Cn: Well, I plan to use it most when I go on vacation. I have a couple of trips coming up, and I'd like to record my experiences. I've never operated video equipment, though, so I'd like something that 's basic.

W-Br: In that case, I'd recommend the Sepler 83. I personally like this one the best because it's very easy to operate. Since this is your first video camera purchase, I'd probably get that one.

M-Au: Hey, Sunisa. We're about to leave to cater the event at Kimball Medical Foundation, but there aren't enough
cups. Do you know where I can find some?

W-Am: Oh no. I ordered some from our supplier two days ago, but they still haven't delivered them. This isn't the first time this has happened

M-Au: Well, we're supposed to start setting up our tables at Kimball Medical by nine-thirty, so what do you suggest? I don't have time to stop by a store on the way.

W-Am: OK, I can help out. I'll go buy more and bring them to you.

M-Au: Thanks. I'll text you when we get there, so you know where to find us

M-Cn: Hi, Nadia. Our department manager mentioned you're training our new hires.

W-Am: Yeah, I still have a lot to do, and the training starts Monday. I've been so busy updating the training documents, I haven't had time to do anything else.

M-Cn: Well... I finished my project early... What do you need?

W-Am: Thank you so much. Could you check with the Security Office about the badges for the new employees? I sent them a request last week, but I haven't heard back yet.

M-Cn: No problem, I'll take care of that right away.

M-Au: Anita, take a look at this travel Web site. Our hotel received some bad reviews - here's one of them.

W-Br: Wow, there are definitely areas we need to work on. With a review like that, I'm worried we won't attract as many customers.

M-Au: Well, at least we're renovating the rooms soon, so their appearance will improve.

W-Br: True. But let's discuss the other low rating at our next staff meeting.

M-Au: You know, maybe we should bring in a consultant to give us advice on how to deal with this-we certainly don't want any more bad reviews.

W-Br: Sam, Mr. Kim just called about his order. He wants us to double the number of uniforms we're making for his hotel staff.

M-Au: That's great news! Has the deadline changed also?

W-Br: Actually, he still wants the order to be finished by the first of May.

M-Au: Hmm... that's a problem. There's no way we can make so many uniforms that quickly.

W-Br: How about we hire some part-time tailors to help with this extra work?

M-Au: Good idea. Can you get a list of names for me?

M-Cn: Hello, Ma'am. Thanks for shopping at Fresh made Supermarket. Do you have one of our loyalty cards?

W-Am: Yes, but I forgot to bring it today.

M-Cn: Unfortunately, I can't look up your phone number because our computer system isn't working, so I can't give you a discount today.

W-Am: OK. I understand. Oh, and I took this bottle of soy sauce from the shelf, but I don't want to buy it now.

M-Cn: That's fine, I know where it belongs. Now, will you be paying with cash or credit?

W-Br: Thank you for agreeing to meet me for this interview. The readers of Auto World Magazine are eager to hear about your company's plans for a new car manufacturing plant.

M-Au: Yes, we'll be opening a facility in Indonesia soon. We currently have two plants in this country, so we're looking forward to expanding our production capabilities overseas.

W-Br: I see. And when will the first cars be built in that factory?

M-Au: That's a good question. Right now we're planning on December.
