[M-Cn] Where on earth could Alex be? We can’t wait for him any
longer. They’re boarding already.
[F-Am] I know. We should go to the gate. I’ll call his cell phone again
to see where he is.
[M-Cn] Tell him if he misses this flight, he’ll have to get the next one.
[F-Am] OK. It’ll mean getting another ticket, though.
[M-Cn] Well, that’s his problem. Look, Gate 17’s that way. Let’s start
walking or we’ll miss it.
Practice 5
Track 83
[M-Am] I’m sorry but the recent increase in orders means the
production department needs more staff. I can’t promise to
meet our targets with the number we have.
[F-Cn] Are you sure? You already have 35 employees. Perhaps we
could just extend the shifts from eight to nine hours?
[M-Am] Hmm. That might work. I’d recommend you calculate the
cost of the overtime first, though, before I suggest that to my
workers.
[F-Cn] Yes, I’ll do that. It won’t be cheap, but it might be better than
taking on more staff.

Questions 1 through 3 refer to the following conversation.
[M-Br] How are you enjoying the job, Julia? Is it exciting?
[F-Au] Well, it’s not as exciting as I first thought. There’s a lot of
training to do. Every day we train for four or five hours.
[M-Br] So you haven’t rescued anyone from a burning building?
[F-Au] Not yet! We had an emergency call last week, to a car crash,
but nobody was hurt.
Questions 4 through 6 refer to the following conversation.
[M-Am] So, you can take the six-fifteen flight to Hong Kong, arriving
at nine thirty, and change there for London. You’ll have a two
hour wait at Hong Kong airport, I’m afraid.
[F-Br] That’s not too bad. What time does it arrive in London?
[M-Am] Five thirty in the morning, the following day. I found a hotel,
also. The Picadilly Grand. It’s four stars, at 150 pounds a
night. I’d recommend you take it, it’s a very good rate. That’s
for a single room, with a view of the river.
[F-Br] And do they have that for three nights?
