What does the man say he will do this afternoon? 

-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.
