What is the woman trying to do? 

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?
