Part Two. Questions 13—22
Section One. Questions 13--17
Question13  Joe, I’ve got Mr Brand on the line and he says he hasn’t got the cheque for his trip yet. Apparently he had to pay the hotel in cash and it was quite a lot of money. Do you know if his form has been processed yet ?
Question14  We are going to start the campaign by putting full page ads in all the major newspapers over a period of a month. They’ll be in weekly, probably on a Monday, and after that we are planning to focus on TV and Radio.
Question15  Woman: Mr Carpenter has decided to postpone it until after the next consignment has gone out. I shall fax everyone who was due to come and give them some alternative dates.
Question16  I shall be coming round to each of you to discuss how you think things have gone so far. I’m going to need as much detail as possible BECause I want the documentation to be a realistic record of events.
Question17  It’s very sophisticate model. You can programme it to send stuff at any time and then if there’s a problem a message appears on this little screen here. It’s even suggests what you can do about it to put it right!
Section Two. Questions 18—22
Question18  Well in a sense I’ve got no choice in the matter. No one’s actually told me to get the qualification. It’s just that form my point of view, my own sense of confidence, if you like, I feel that if I’m going to be responsible for instructing other people in the company, then I should do something to improve my own level of knowledge. On the other hand, I don’t know what I feel about the course itself. One thing is for sure, I am not looking forward to the journey there and back every day. It’s going to be very tiring. Mind you, I know I shouldn’t complain. It’s only for a month after all.
Question19  It’s certainly a challenge, isn’t it? Of course I am nervous in some ways. Who wouldn’t be? Then again there’s a lot to look forward to as well. For starters, it’s going to be something like twenty people doing it. So I’m sure that’s going to include some interesting types, you know, people you enjoy spending time with on the course itself and also afterwards. Could be some useful contacts, too. Well, OK. I need the course. If I don’t it, I won’t be able to cope with all the latest equipment. I mean, these days, you have to swim fast to stay afloat, don’t you? But still I don’t see why it can’t be enjoyable at the same time.
Question20  What I mainly feel, really, is nervous. You know, like I am being sent back to school or something. I am feeling very lacking in confidence, which is of course not the best starting position. After all these years of doing the job, and doing it well, I’m proud to say ,and picking it up as I’ve gone along. It seems embarrassing to be told to go get a piece of paper, to have to have a certificate, especially when you feel you know what you’re doing. Yes, of course, I do realize there’ll be things on the course I haven’t done before. And that concerns me too. Because I don’t know how well I’ll retain it all, if I’ll be able to recall it afterwards. Oh, perhaps it will all be OK in the end, I certainly hope so.
