Question21  Yes, the course content does look good in the brochure. I know in a sense I shouldn’t complain. After all it’s a chance to enhance my skills and knowledge. And that’s welcome at times. But it’s still a bit of gamble, isn’t? I just have to hope it really does improve my chances of hanging on to my job here. It’s a bit frightening, to tell you the truth, with so many people having to go. After 20 years in a company, you don’t want to think about being out of work, do you? But I really wish the brochure would tell you more. It looks good, as I said, but there’s no detail, nothing on the time or the teachers. So I feel bit in the dark really.
Question22  At this age, you’ve just got to want to get ahead and do whatever it takes to be ahead of the test. That’s what drives me anyway. I just can’t wait to get started. Ever since I first saw the notice up on the board, I knew it was for me. I do appreciate it’s a bit far away. Yes, and I am a little hazy on some of detail or what the other people will be like. But those are small things, unimportant points to my mind. It’s certainly not cheap. Not by anyone’s standards. But you get what you pay for, don’t you? I am really confident that I’ll be enjoying the benefits of it for years to come. So I’m sure it represents good value for money and time.

Section One. Questions 13--17
Question13  Well I guess it’s all for the best in the long run. I mean it’s never been easy with all of us spread out over the city. And then there are different phone lines. Half the time when I am answering calls they’ve come to the wrong branch. Then there are the students. I mean half of them have never been in the city to even this country before. It’s no wonder they are late. They don’t know how to find their way round. But this way, when all the changes are over and we’ve settled down in the new building, we’ll be easier to get to. So I reckon they’ll get here more promptly. And then won’t have any excuse any more for coming in late and missing lectures.
Question14  I think it all depends where you’re sitting—where you’re looking from. Overall I’m convinced it’ll work out well, It’s the right decision. I’d have done the same thing. I’m really convinced that a large number of students are going to be delighted. They’ll see the benefits immediately. OK, yes I’, anticipating some complaints. With people of this nature, I think that’s inevitable, but the majority will welcome it. I’ve explained it to all my lecturers. They understand it, accept it. It also means I can organize the timetables better so they’ll do their teaching over a shorter day. So that’s obviously a benefit. I’m sure the rest of the staff will feel the same.
Question15  In the early days I had to take premises all over the place, anywhere I could get them, just to get the business off the ground. But over the years I’ve always looked for the opportunity to get everyone together on one site. When all this is over, we’ll look better and we’ll perform better. I know it means we’re going to attract more business. And another thing, we’re supposed to keep all the records on the database, but half the time, the various PCs aren’t working or the network’s down or something. That can surely only get better. Personally I can’t wait.
