about the ceremony that’s been organized to mark the

I appreciate everyone coming today to make a
laboratory training video for GenTech. I’ve spoken
with Ms. Carver, GenTech’s head researcher, about
her hopes for the shoot. As chemicals are often used in
GenTech’s labs, she wants to focus on safety
protocols. The video we’re producing will demonstrate
the correct procedures for dealing with any chemical
spills or other laboratory accidents. There are some
extra lab coats hanging on the wall. If all of you could
please put one on, I’ll begin preparing for the school.
To start this meeting, I have some important news.
Several government agencies have placed orders with
us for laptops. As a result, 2200 units of our latest
computer models must be shipped out. They need the
products next week, which certainly puts some
pressure on us. However, my hope is that we’ll be able
to establish a long – term partnership with the
government. So, let’s all work hard to make sure this
process goes as smoothly as possible.
Thank you all for joining me this evening to pay honor
to legendary jazz musician Herb Jean. The statue of
Mr. Jean being unveiled was made by sculptor Janice
Longoria, who is herself a huge fan of the pianist.
While many millions of people around the world have
been moved by his music, very few know that he was
raised right here in Brighton, England. That’s why our
city council decided to fund the creation of this
incredible artwork. Even though Mr. Jean couldn’t join

There’s no better way to listen to the music or your
favorite podcasts than the Sable Portable Speaker
from HomePerfect Electronics. The Sable has wireless
connectivity, allowing users to stream content from
the internet without connecting any cables. Moreover,
it is an entirely voice – controlled device, meaning you
don’t have to walk across the room every time you
want to change songs or adjust the volume. Customers
have been pleasantly surprised by that. So what are
you waiting for? Stop by your nearest major
electronics retailer to try one out!
Thank you for attending today’s lecture about global
sports marketing. My name is Thomas Brast, and I’m
going to present a slideshow about a marketing case
study I did. The study, which involves the massive
athletic apparel chain store Hashtag Goods, focuses on
the impact social media advertising has on young
adults worldwide. Following that, we’ll watch a brief
video regarding advertising methods used in various
countries. I think you’ll find it very informative as well
as relevant as it compares practices common here in
Canada to those in Egypt and Brazil. Now, let’s get
started.
Hi, Gavin. This is Carla from the product design team. I
am calling because I have a trouble accessing my work
email through the company cell phone I received
yesterday. Do you think you could some by my desk
sometime today or tomorrow to help me resolve the
matter? I’ll have to get this done by Thursday morning

dealt with before then
Once again, congratulations on being hired to lead
tours for Auckland City Experience. We’ve come here
to Auckland’s main square because it’s typically where
we begin our city tour. Our customers are asked to
arrive at least 10 minutes before their walking tour
starts, but you’ll need to be here 30 minutes early – to
answer questions and deal with special requests. This
morning the focus will be on our Heritage Tour, which
is very long. There are over a dozen attractions to visit,
and they are spread throughout town. Pay close
attention as we spend time at each location because
this is our most popular route. Oh ……but first let me
hand out the relevant brochures.
Good afternoon. This is Iris calling from Hasberry
Leather Goods. I’m sorry to tell you that our web site
was experiencing technical problems on the day you
made your purchase. The handbag you bought is not
actually in stock, even though the site indicated
otherwise. This means that the delivery date will be
postponed for one week – the package won’t arrive at
your address until September 15. And please note that
the package will require a signature when it is dropped
off at your residence. We’re very sorry for the delay
and thank you for your business.
Mason, it’s Debra, I wanna let you know that we have
to change our dinner plans. I guess Victoria café is
60
 closed right now for renovations. It’s definitely a
shame, but the good news is there’re plenty of other
options around here too. In fact, we’ve been meaning
to try the Italian place that opened up across the
street from the movie theater. I forget the restaurant’s
name, but I can look it up online and then text you.
Why don’t we just meet there instead? Also, let’s push
back dinner until 6 o’clock too. I’m at Five Spike Coffee
right now, and I’ve still got a few things to finish up for
work.
