Bộ câu hỏi trắc nghiệm tiếng Anh TOEIC Part 3 - Đề 5

W-Br: Pablo, I heard about your promotion. That's great news! When do you start your new position?

M-Cn: Thanks very much; I start on Monday. Things are a little busy at the moment, though, because my new office is on a different floor, and I have to move all my personal belongings there.

W-Br: I just took inventory of the office supplies, so if you need anything to help you pack, let me know.

M-Cn: That would actually be very helpful. I can't believe how many things I've accumulated over the years! Do you think I can get some cardboard boxes and tape?

1. What will the man do on Monday?

W-Am: Hi Ri chard, I just saw the catering order for Satoshi Kato's retirement party next week.

M-Au: Yeah, the restaurant said they'd deliver the food around 11:45. That should give us plenty of time to set up for lunch.

W-Am: That's great, but um, have you ever met Mr. Kato?

M-Au: Oh, right! Of course. How could I forget that Mr. Kato doesn't eat meat? I'll call the restaurant later today to change the order, but I really have to finish this seating chart first.

W-Am: I can call the restaurant for you, so you can finish up here.

M-Au: That'd be great, thank you so much!

W-Br: Hello. I'm calling about my subscription to TV Trivia Magazine. I moved a few months ago, and I called to give you my new address at that time. But I've only received one issue since then. I'm wondering what the problem is. The name is Fernandez.

M-Au: OK, let me check... Oh yes, I see. Your subscription expired last month. Why don't you sign up for our online version of the magazine? We're running a promotional sale for 20 percent off digital subscriptions right now.

W-Br: Actually, I prefer to read the paper version. Can you provide the same discount for that? If you can, I'll renew right away.

M-Au: Susan, thanks for watching us practice our presentation about this new marketing campaign.

M-Cn: Yes, we really appreciate it. Now that we've finished, do you have any comments? We're showing it to our
client next week, so your feedback will be really helpful.

W-Br: I'd emphasize more how you intend to reach a larger and more diverse customer base with this marketing campaign.

M-Au: Well, we are planning to use social media to reach younger people. Do you think that should be included in the presentation?

W-Br: Absolutely. The client will like that.

M-Cn: We'll get back to work then. But if you are free tomorrow, I'd like us to meet one more time to go over our revisions.

M-Cn: We're getting close to the airport, so we'd better stop to put gas in the car. The rental company will charge us an extra fee for fuel if they have to do it.

W-Br: Good idea. We don't want to pay more than we have to.

M-Cn: OK, should I take this exit then?

W-Br: No, that's a rest area. Keep going, we want the next exit.

M-Cn: Oh good, and I hope they also sell food. Then we can pick up some snacks for the plane while we're there.

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.

M-Cn: Good afternoon, Ms. Dembo. I have some concerns - can I show you the report on our pasta production this week?

W-Am: Sure. What's the problem exactly?

M-Cn: Well, according to page two of the report, the pasta-cutting machine in our production line was working at less than 50 percent capacity yesterday. We were not getting as much output as we usually
do.

W-Am: I see. Let's shut down that machine right away. And I'll have a technician look at the motor and blade immediately. We have to fill a large order of pasta this week-that machine must be working well
so that we can produce the order on time.

W-Br: Hello. I'm calling about my subscription to TV Trivia Magazine. I moved a few months ago, and I called to give you my new address at that time. But I've only received one issue since then. I'm wondering what the problem is. The name is Fernandez.

W-Br: Hi Raymond. It's Marta Dunmore. I'm calling about the wood options we discussed for my new kitchen floor.

M-Cn: Great! What did you decide?

W-Br: Well, I thought about choosing the dark pine. But then I took the samples you gave me into the kitchen and looked at them carefully. I decided the pattern on the oak will look best.

M-Cn: Oak is a great choice. It's harder than pine, so it's a good value. And the light color of the ash and maple don't really match your kitchen.

W-Br: OK, great. When can you start the installation?

M-Cn: I'll have to check my calendar when I get back to the office. Can I give you a call later?

M-Cn: Welcome to the Natural History Museum. Can I help you?

W-Br: Hi I'm trying to find the special Fossils exhibit I saw advertised on TV. Can you tell me how to get to it?

M-Cn: Sure. We're here in the Main Hall. That's the Bird Hall over there. The fossils are just in the next room, on the other side of Bird Hall. It's a large well-lit space that we often use for special exhibits. That's where you want to go.

W-Br: Thanks. Oh-and is my ticket good for special exhibits?

M-Cn: Yes. Everything is included with regular admission at our museum.

M-Cn: Thanks for calling Riverside Auto Repair. How can I help you?

W-Br: Hi. I got my car repaired last week and used your shuttle service to get a ride back to my office. Can you tell me why there's a service charge on my invoice for using the shuttle? I've never had to pay that before.

M-Cn: Yes, unfortunately the cost of auto fuel has risen quite a bit, so the company now requires us to charge for the shuttle.

W-Br: Well, I wasn't expecting that.

M-Cn: I'm sorry we didn't inform you of this ahead of time. I'll waive the fee now, but please be aware that you'll have to pay for rides in the future.

W-Am: In sports news, our own Easton Jaguars won today's soccer match against the Portville Lions. Here to tell us about the game is Aaron Park, the goalkeeper for the Jaguars. Mr. Parker, thank for joining us

M-Au: Thanks for having me. Today's game was challenging - it started to rain early on, and the storm didn't let up for nearly an hour. There were several times when we lost control of the ball because the field was so wet and slippery.

W-Am: Well, you all played really well despite the weather. Now, it's time for a commercial break, but stay tuned - we'll soon be back with Aaron Parker to talk about the game's most exciting moments.

W-Br: Hi Paul, I know we were planning to work at the trade show together next week, but something has come up. Do you think you could find someone else to go in my place?

M-Cn: Sure, that can probably be arranged. Can I ask why you're unable to go? 

W-Br: My department recently hired several new people, and I want to be here to make sure that their training goes smoothly

M-Cn: I understand. I'll call Ramona and ask her if she'd be able to attend the show instead

W-Am: Hello, Dan. sovou've been training with us for a couple of months now- as your mentor, I'd like to hear how your apprenticeship's been going

M-Au: It's been going well. I've enjoyed learning the different techniques for metal welding, and like seeing the finished products.

W-Am: I'm glad to hear that. There're still a few weeks left in your training program - but you know, your work is so good that we've decided to offer you a promotion when your training is complete.

M-Au: That's great news! I'd be happy to be part of the team here

M-Cn: Mary? I'm working on the bill for one of Dr. Singh's patients, and I keep getting an error message for the code I'm using...

W-Am: Oh! The billing codes recently changed. You must be referring to the old list.

M-Cn: Do you have the updated one?

W-Am: Yes, right here. Which procedure is it?

M-Cn: A blood test

W-Am: All right ... Here's the code you should use.

M-Cn: Thanks! Could I get a copy of that list?

W-Am: Sure. But Jheard they'll be adding the codes to our billing software soon, so we won't need to deal with paper lists anymore.
