W: Good morning, John, I’m Marina Silva from Old Time Toys. Your workmate Alex told me to contact you.
M: Good morning. What can I do for you?
W: Alex said you’re in charge of the whole development process. I need more detailed information including a detailed user guide to your newly-developed software. Can you email it to me?
M: Sure, I’d be happy to. Is there anything special that I need to pay attention to?
W: Well, if possible, please send it by the end of the day. We’re having a meeting tomorrow to discuss potential application of the software in our toy cars.
M: OK. I’ll prioritize it.

M: Hey, Judy. Long time no see. What did you do after graduation?
W: Hi, Mike. I was eager to become a teacher right after graduation, but then I was offered a good job in design, so I changed my mind.
M: Sounds like you’re happy with your decision.
W: Yes, I enjoy it very much. How about you?
M: Do you remember Professor Stephen, who taught us in the freshman year? He recommended a job in the college lab doing research, but I didn’t like it very much. So I quit after working for months. After that, I’ve been doing some voluntary work. And I’m thinking of attending graduate school.
W: I think you just need to make a decision and stick by it. Maybe you could ask a careers consultant for advice. They are able to help you weigh your options.

M: Do you have a minute to talk about the meeting next Monday, Grace?
W: Sure, Fred. We said 2 pm, didn’t we?
M:Yeah, we did. But I have a bit of a problem with the time. Would it be possible to move it?
W: Oh, I see. We could move it to 10 o’clock in the morning or to 4 pm.
M: The early one would really help me. All project managers including me will be trained in management skills in the central office at 1 pm, which would last at least two hours.
W: No problem. It’s important that you’re there.
M: Thanks a lot, Grace.
W: Do you need any help with your preparation?
M: No, that’s all fine, thanks. My report is ready and I’m looking forward to showing it.
W: Great.
M: I can tell Sven about the time change. I’ll meet him later.
W: That’s OK. And I’ll email everyone to confirm the change and send an updated invitation.

W: Excuse me, I want to borrow some books. But I don’t have a library card. What should I do?
M: Don’t worry. Please fill out this form and I’ll get a card ready for you.
W: Thank you so much. And how many books can I borrow?
M: You can borrow six books maximum at the same time and you have two weeks to read the books. If you need more time, you can renew them for another week. Then you need to return them.
W: What if I’m late returning them?
M: If that happens, there’s a small fee of fifty pence for each day they’re late.
W: I see. By the way, where can I find books on human biology?
M: They’re on the third floor. But essays on it are on the second floor.
W: OK. Is the reading room on the first floor?
M: Yes.Besides the first floor, there are Reading-Only Zones for people to study on other floors, so feel free to settle in after you pick out your books. Just a quick reminder — please switch off your mobile phone in the library. If you watch videos or listen to music, please use headphones.
W: I’ll keep that in mind. Thank you.
