[M-Br] We wanted to put it next to the coffee shop. That was the
only place in the museum where we had enough space,
too.
[F-Au] Hmm. Well, maybe some signs would help.
5. [F-Am] It seems we have to either cut costs or lose more staff.
There’s no other way.
[M-Cn] Yes, I agree. If we continue as we are, the company will
fail, that’s for sure.
[F-Am] So, we have a lot of decisions ahead of us. Some very
difficult ones, I’m afraid.
[M-Cn] Yes, but we have to take them, and take them quickly. If we
don’t, we’ll be lucky to survive another six months.
6. [M-Au] How much do you think we should sell the new
TX20 for?
[F-Cn] I’d say the price should be around $295. That would make
us slightly cheaper than most of the competition.
[M-Au] Well, I think we should aim for $360. It’s a quality product
and customers will expect to pay more for it.
[F-Cn] But that’s twenty percent more than our rivals. That’s a big
difference. Do you think anyone would buy it?

Questions 1 through 3 refer to the following conversation.
[M-Am] Hello. Can I speak to Mr. Yang, please?
[F-Am] I’m sorry, but Mr. Yang is in the middle of a lunch meeting right
now. Would you like to leave a message?
[M-Am] Yes. Can you tell him Bill Carson from ARC Engineering
called? I need to talk about his latest invoice. It’s urgent.
[F-Am] OK, sure. Mr. Yang should be out by two. I’ll make sure he
gets your message as soon as possible.
Questions 4 through 6 refer to the following conversation.
[F- Am] Do you want to go for a meal? There’s a new French restaurant
over on Third Avenue. It should be opening around now.
[M-Am] I ’d love to, but I can’t tonight. I need to go home and pack. I’m
leaving for Houston tomorrow, remember?
[F- Am] Oh, that’s right. You’re flying over there to sign the Peterson
contract, aren’t you? I forgot. I hope it goes well.
[M-Am] Thanks. Maybe we can have dinner to celebrate when I get
back. Oh, look at the time. I should be going.
