What does the man like about his work area? 

M-Cn: Jackie, some of our hotel guests would like to see the symphony orchestra perform tomorrow night. I've called the box office a couple of times to book tickets for them, but I just get a recording.

W-Am: Well, I've got a brochure about another classical music performance happening tomorrow night at a different venue. Why don't you ask our guests if they'd be interested in seeing that show instead?

M-Cn: Great! I'll stop by your office when I get back from lunch. I'll get the details then.

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: Good afternoon, Ms. Dembo. I have some concerns- 68can 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.

M-Au: Ms. Batra, how does the stage look to you? Is the piano in the right place?

W-Am: The stage arrangement is fine. But can we make sure that there'll be enough background lighting? I want all the members of my band to be visible.

M-Au: Of course. But I'd rather do it when the rest of your band is here so I can be sure the lighting is right.

W-Am: OK. I'm meeting them for lunch and then we're coming back here to rehearse together this afternoon. We'll see you then

M-Cn: Mina, I was thinking about our travel plans for the industry conference we're going to in Boston. It's only two weeks away.

W-Am: Well, the three of us are all taking the same flight, so maybe we could ride together from the office to the airport. But, we'll be gone for several days, so the cost of parking would really add up.

M-Cn: True. You know, I think it's twenty dollars to take a taxi.

W-Am: That's a possibility. Let's ask Martin what he thinks.
