You went on a sales trip to London. Your experience wasn’t very positive.
PEOPLE IN BUSINESS Ex. 1 A: Alessandra, let me introduce you to my colleague, Simon Hastings. B: How do you do? Pleased to meet you. C: How do you do? B: Do you work here, Alessandra? C: No, I work for SAP. I’m a consultant. This is my colleague Akiko Takajima. D: Nice to meet you. B: Nice to meet you too, Akiko. Where are you from? D: I’m from Osaka. In Japan. B: Where do you work? D: I work for SAP in Frankfurt. I’m a software engineer. And you? B: I’m a journalist. I work here at Business Monthly. Sally’s my boss. Ex. 4 A: Can you begin by telling us a bit about Nokia? What does the company do? B: Nokia mainly produces and sells mobile telephones. We also build base stations – they transmit the signals. A: And where are you based? B: The Head Office is in Helsinki. We also have a research centre in Tampere. That’s about 150 kilometres north of Helsinki. We have research centres in other countries as well. A: I see. How many people do you employ? B: About 53,000 worldwide. We have factories in about ten countries and offices in many more. A: What languages do you speak in the company? B: Finnish. And English, of course. A: What are your biggest markets? B: China. We sell a lot of telephones in China. I go there a lot. The US is also a big market and Europe too. There’s a lot of competition. A: Who are the competitors? B: Motorola and Ericsson. A: Where do you advertise? B: On TV, in magazines, and on buses. We also sponsor sports events. GETTING A JOB Ex. 6 A: Where do you send people? All over the world? B: No, not exactly. Most of our contacts are in Europe, particularly southern Europe. But we’re also now developing an activity in South-east Asia, particularly in Japan, Thailand, and China. A: And do you specialize in particular types of jobs? B: No, we don’t. You see, we always work with big companies, who need new staff in many different areas. So we recruit computer technicians, teachers, construction workers, project managers, engineers. We’ve even recruited a personal bodyguard for the President of a European company. A: That’s quite a range. Now, tell me about the work you do. B: Well, like all the consultants in my firm, I specialize in one particular country. I’m working in Thailand at the moment, one of our new markets. I go there regularly, visit companies, and listen to their needs. I spend at least three days in each company – that’s an important point. A: Why’s that? B: Because we provide a very personalized service. We have to know the company well, and the person who’s going to work there. We don’t want to recruit someone for Thailand who then leaves after two weeks because he’s not happy. Ex. 7 A: I can see you enjoy your job. B: Yes, very much. I really enjoy learning about new cultures, when I visit companies abroad. I also really like interviewing people for jobs, particularly younger people. A: Why’s that? B: Because younger people are generally very interested in the country, not only the job, and that’s very important. A: Mm. What about the travelling? B: Well, I love visiting new countries, but I don’t really like taking the plane. A: You don’t like flying. Isn’t that rather difficult for someone who works in Thailand? B: Yes, a little. A: Is there anything else you don’t like? B: Yes, I hate telling people we can’t help them. Sometimes we say no because we feel a person doesn’t have the right personal qualities to work in a certain country. A: What qualities do you think are necessary for someone working abroad? B: I think there are three. First, they have to be adaptable, ready to change their working habits and their living habits. Secondly, they have to be sensitive people. That means they have to respect the culture of the country they are in. Finally, it’s better if they are outgoing. Outgoing people will make friends easily, and learn the local language more quickly. APPLYING FOR A JOB Ex. 6 A: Hey, Luis Antonio! B: Bill Pitt. I don’t believe it! Bill, how are you? A: Just fine. You’re looking good, Luis. B: You too, Bill. It’s been a long time. A: Yes, it has. When did we finish in LA? B: In 1988. You went to Washington and I went back to Rio. A: That’s right. B: So what are you doing now, Bill? A: Well, I’m a Project Director with Sun Microsystems in Silicon Valley. B: Sun Microsystems. That’s great! How long have you worked there? A: Since 97. B: And where do you live? A: In San Francisco. We moved there in 1994. B: And I guess you are married now. A: Yes, with three beautiful children. Two sons and a daughter. B: So, where did you meet your wife? A: Well, Luis, do you remember a girl on our MBA course in Los Angeles? Her name was Melissa Norton. She always had the best grades. B: Melissa Norton. Of course I remember. A: Well, we got married in 1991. B: Well, congratulations, Bill. A: Thanks. What about you? Do you have a family now? B: Well, it’s a long story. Do you have time for a drink before your flight? PREPARING A TRIP Ex. 3 A: Royal Princess Hotel. Good morning. B: Good morning. Could I reserve a room for next week, for three nights, from Monday the first of November? A: Certainly, sir. Three nights from Monday the first, you say? B: Yes, that’s right. A: Single or double room, sir? B: Single, please. A: OK. Let me check. Yes, we have a room free. May I have your name, please? B: It’s Gervais. That’s G-E-R-V-A-I-S. A: Sorry, that’s G-E-R… B: …V-A-I-S. But the reservation is in the name of my company, Cambridge Management Consulting. That’s CMC. A: OK. I’ve got that. Can you confirm your reservation in writing please, sir? B: I’m afraid I’m not in my office today. Can I fax you tomorrow? A: Yes, of course. That’s fine. B: Could you tell me your fax number? A: Yes, it’s 662-238-1999. B: OK. Thanks. Goodbye. A: Goodbye. FLYING OUT Ex. 2
B: Yes, it’s quarter past three. A: What time does the meeting start this afternoon? B: At half past five. And it finishes at seven o’clock.
D: What time’s your train? C: At ten to ten.
Ex. 5 A: How far is it from the city centre to the airport? B: Not far. About ten kilometers, I think. A: And what’s the best way to get to the centre? B: Well, airport taxis are quite expensive, so I always take the airport shuttle bus. It’s cheap and quick. A: How long does it take to get there? B: About twenty-five minutes. A: And how often does the bus go? My flight’s on a Sunday. B: I think there are buses every half an hour at weekends. And they run all day, from about half past five in the morning to eleven at night. A: OK, I’ll take the bus, then. I also want to go shopping in Warsaw, if I’ve got time. When are the shops and banks open? B: The banks open at eight or nine in the morning. Shops are usually open from eight to six. A: From eight o’clock. That’s good – I can shop early in the morning, before my meetings. B: Yes, but be careful. Some specialist boutiques open late, at about eleven in the morning. And if you’re there on Saturday, most shops close at two. A: Right. I’ll remember that. Thanks for all your help. I’ll send you a postcard. ARRIVING Ex. 2
B: Yes, of course. A: Thank you. Are you here on business? B: Yes, I am. A: How many days are you here for? B: Just three. A: And how much money do you have with you? B: Uhm … about $500. A: OK, thank you. Enjoy your stay. B: Thank you.
B: Yes, sure. A: How much luggage do you have? B: Just this one bag. A: Do you have any perfume, cigarettes, tobacco? B: No, I have some duty-free wine. That’s all. A: How much bottles do you have? B: Two. A: Thank you, sir. Could you just open your suitcase for me? Ex. 7 A: Good afternoon, sir. B: Good afternoon. I’d like a single room for tonight, please, if you have one. A: Have you got a reservation, sir? B: No, I haven’t. A: Just one moment. Let me check. Yes, we have a single room. B: Does it have a shower? A: Yes, it does, sir. It’s got a shower and a bath. B: That’s fine. I’ll take it. A: Very good, sir. Could I have your credit card, please? GOING OUT Ex. 3 A: Hello. B: Hello. Could I speak to David Payton, please? A: Certainly. Who’s calling, please? B: This is Monique Dumont, from Execo. A: Hold on one moment, please… Hello, I’m afraid David’s in a meeting at the moment. Can I take a message? A: Yes, could you ask him to call me back? It’s about his trip to France. B: Yes, of course. Could you tell me your number? A: Yes, it’s 33 – that’s the code for France – then 2-51-25-89-74. B: 89-74. OK. I’ll give him the message. A: Thank you for your help. Goodbye. Ex. 8 A: Hello. Is that David? B: Yes, speaking. Is that Monique? A: Yes. Hello, David. How are you? B: I’m fine. A: It’s about your trip to France next week. B: Yes? A: Would you like to stay on for the weekend – as a guest of Execo, of course? B: Well, that’s very kind of you, but I’m afraid I have a flight to England on Friday evening. A: Can you change it? B: Uhm, yes. I’m sure that’s possible. I don’t have any meetings at the weekend. A: Because we’d like to take you to the Loire valley. What do you think? B: Well, that would be very nice. A: We can have dinner in a chateau, we can go wine-taking, and…would you like to go ballooning? B: I’m sorry? A: The best way to go sightseeing in the Loire is in a hot-air balloon, David. B: Well, yes, I’d love to. A: OK, I’ll make all the reservations and I’ll call you back. B: Yes, but… EATING OUT Ex. 5 A: What would you like, Katrin? B: I can’t decide. What do you recommend? A: Well, it’s difficult to say. There’s a different menu every day, but it’s always good. I’ll have the green curry myself. I really like Thai food. Do you like spicy dishes? B: No, not really. A: Then I suggest you try the lasagna as a main course. Italian dishes are always very good here. B: OK, I’ll have that. Ah, just a second … there’s paella on the menu. That’s my favourite. Yes, I’ll have the paella. A: OK, good. And what will you have to start? B: Well, um, the Japanese and Mexican dishes look very spicy. So I think I’d like the onion soup. What about you? A: Well, sushi’s very nice, but that’s rice again. So I’ll have the guacamole. B: Great, so are we ready to order? A: Yes, I think so. Excuse me, could we order please? Ex. 7 C: More coffee, madam? B: No, thank you. C: Would you like some more coffee, sir? A: No, thanks. Could you bring me the bill, please? C: Certainly, sir. B: Please, let me get this. A: No, you’re my guest! This is on me. B: That’s very kind of you. Um, thank you for inviting me. A: You’re very welcome. B: It’s an excellent restaurant. Good food and friendly service. A: I’m pleased you like it. C: Here’s your bill, sir. A: Thank you. Do you accept credit cards? B: Yes, we do. A: And could I have a receipt? B: Yes, of course. TALKING ABOUT A TRIP Ex. 4 A: Danuta, hi. Welcome back. Did you have a good trip? B: Yes, thanks, I did. It was great. A: So, what was New York like? B: Very noisy, but it’s an exciting city to visit. A: Yes, everybody says that. What was your hotel like? B: Well, my room was quite small, but the hotel itself was very clean. And really convenient – only two minutes’ walk from the conference centre. A: How was the conference? B: I loved it. People were really friendly, and I made two or three very useful contacts. I’ll tell you about them later. A: And what were the presentations like? B: Well, actually, the talks that I went to were a little boring. I fell asleep in one of them. A: You didn’t. B: Yes, I did. But that was the only negative thing. Generally, it was a fantastic visit. I’d love to go again. A: No! Next time, I want to go! You can stay here! VISITING A COMPANY Ex. 1
