A [F-Br] This is an announcement for passengers waiting for 
the 15:35 service to Newcastle. This bus is running 
approximately twenty minutes late. This is because of road 
repairs on the M25. Will all passengers please go to Bay 
3, where your bus should arrive in twenty minutes. Please 
note that the next service at Bay 3 is the 15:45 service 
to London, so passengers with tickets to Newcastle are 
warned not to board that bus. Thank you.

A [M-Am] Thank you very much everyone for this marvelous gift. I will 
use this spade in my garden, where I intend to spend most 
of my time once I move to Sun City, Arizona. After working 
here in New York for all these years, I think I deserve a 
breath of fresh air! I was twenty-five when I started at Signet 
Holdings as an Assistant Manager. I worked my way up 
the Engineering division to Section Director and now I’m 
sixty-five, and leaving you as Vice President. Next week 
I’m heading to our Chicago office, to spend my final month 
handing over responsibilities to Mr. Hammond. As you all 
know, he will be starting here on the first of June to take my 
place. This is the same date I began here forty years ago, so 
it seems I chose the right day to finally leave. I wish you all 
well, and hope that you enjoy working with Mr. Hammond.
B [F-Au] Now this is the library. You’re all graduate students, so 
unlike undergraduates at NPU, you can borrow up to 
ten books at any time for your research. It’s all done 
electronically. Just walk through the security gates and 
your library card will automatically register all the books 
you take. The main part of the library is divided into 
different areas. The Reading Room is for rare books. The 
West Room is where we keep journals and articles. The 
Blue zone is the social area, where talking is allowed. The 
Red zone is the silent area. No talking in the Red zone, 
of course. We’re open six days a week from eight in the 
morning until 9:00 
P.M.
When you return books, leave them 
at the front desk. If the library is closed, you can leave the 
books in the book drop at the West entrance.
