(B) Send an e-mail
(C) Finish a budget proposal
(D) Arrange a meeting
Questions 35-37:
A: Ms. Weber, 35I 've just booked the accommodations for your trip to Melbourne
next week. I found you a hotel within a mile of the conference center.
B: That's great! Thank you for arranging that.
A: No problem. And 36remember to keep your receipts—you’ll need them to get
reimbursed.
B: OK, I'll do that. Oh, and 37does the hotel have a restaurant on-site? I'll be working
in the hotel a lot, so it'd be convenient if I could eat there.
Questions 38-40:
A: Antonio, 38I'd like your input about how we can make our spring athletic clothing
line more original.
B: 39How about designing some geometric patterns that we can have printed onto
our fabric? That would set our clothing apart from other brands that use muted, solid
colors.
A: I like that idea, but 40I'm worried it would add a step or two to our production
schedule. We have several hard deadlines coming up soon. Let's try designing one
patterned fabric for this season's line. If everything goes smoothly, we can do more next
season.
Questions 41-43:
A: Hi Yoon-Ho. Do you have a minute? 41Anita and I need your assistance with our e-
mails.
B: Sure. 41How can I help?
A: 41The system seems to be running very slow. We've been experiencing long delays
in receiving e-mails, right Anita?
C: Yes. Since we have deadlines that are very time sensitive, can you look into this right
away?
B: You know, 42several people have already called us at the IT Department about it
this morning—It's our top priority now.
C: Thanks. 43We're on our way to catch a flight now, but could you please call us
when it's all taken care of?
Questions 44-46:
A: 44Paniz Outdoor Tours. Can I help you?
B: I'm from Alderman Associates, and 44I'm calling to book a cycling tour of the city
for my colleagues and me. There are eight of us, and we'd like to go next Thursday.
A: I'm sorry—45we'll be closed next Thursday. We're replacing all of our bikes, and
it'll take a few days to get them ready to ride.
B: Oh, we work nearby, so we could go another time.
A: Great. So, what about the following Monday—June third?
B: That works. We have a membership with you already, so you should have all of our
information on file.
A: In that case, 46just tell me your membership number, and I'll make the
reservation.
Questions 50-52:
A: Emiko and Susan—50could you give me an update on the negotiations with the
city to purchase insurance through our company?
B: Well, the city officials expressed interest in buying insurance for all of their
emergency vehicles, including ambulances, through us. 51I sent them a quote, but
unfortunately I'm still waiting to hear back.
C: I've been working on the account with the city parks department, and 51I have the
same problem. They haven't committed yet, either.
A: Hmm, 52we could offer them a reduced first-year rate. That might motivate them to
make a final decision quickly.
50, What kind of business do the speakers most likely work for?
(A) An automobile manufacturer
(B) An insurance company
(C) A county hospital
(D) A construction firm
51, What problem do the women mention?

(B) A vehicle needs to be repaired.

(B) Changing suppliers
(C) Forming a committee
(D) Closing a branch
Questions 53-55:
A: Ms. Moreau, 53, 54thank you for volunteering to participate in this product testing
session.
B: It sounds interesting. So 53I’ll be testing out some new designs for drinking mugs?
A: Exactly. We want to test if our mugs are easier to drink from than traditional mugs.
Before we begin, 54could you please sign this agreement form? It states that we can use
your comments in our marketing campaign.
B: Sure. But I have one question... Do you have different beverages available? I don't
drink coffee.
A: Oh, definitely—you'll have several to choose from. OK, now let's go join the other
participants. 55Please follow me to Room B.
Questions 56-58:
A: Hi Irina, 56are you all finished styling your client's hair?
B: Yes, I cut and blow dried it. She's all set. Now I'm going to sweep the floor and wash
some towels.
A: Thanks. I wanted to mention something...57It seems we're all using too much
electricity every month. I'd like us all to start thinking of ways to reduce that
expense.
B: Oh? I didn't realize that was an issue.
A: Well, 57the other salons I own spend about half of what this location does every
month.
B: Hmm... they don't have as many clients, though.
A: True, but I still think we all need to make changes nonetheless. 58We'll discuss it
further at the employee meeting later today.
Questions 59-61:
A: Thanks for meeting with me today, Diego. 59Our firm's been contracted by a ferry
company to design a hydrogen-powered boat. They're hoping to cut down on their
carbon emissions with a boat that runs on clean energy
B: Hmm. 60A hydrogen power source is going to need a lot of space. Since ferries
usually transport cars, I'm concerned about where we'd place the hydrogen source.
A: Actually this ferry would give tours. So it won't be carrying vehicles, just passengers.
B: Then maybe we could store the hydrogen on the deck?
A: Possibly. 61Could you research that before we meet with the ferry company?
B: 61Absolutely.
Questions 65-67:
A: 65Good work helping the office go paperless, Kentaro. You've scanned and
shredded everything that had any personal student data, correct?
B: Yes, so now 68we can get rid of the rest of these old documents—class schedules,
information sheets to parents—all of it can be recycled. The bins are out back, right?
A: That's right, behind the gym. But 67don't try to carry all these boxes; they're too
heavy. I brought a cart over from the maintenance closet for you to use.
Questions 68-70:
A: Riccardo, 68could you take a look at this invitation? It's a draft I put together for
our upcoming fund-raiser. Your feedback would be helpful.
B: Sure. Hmm... It looks good, but 69we should have the live music start at the same
time as dinner. Otherwise, there'll be very little time for the band to perform.
A: You're right. Anything else?
B: 70Let's add a line at the bottom with the name of our organization, since we're
sponsoring the event.
A: OK, that's an easy addition.
Test 3
Questions 32-34:
A: Thank you for registering with the Zimmerman Staffing Agency, Ms. Vogel. 32Why
are you interested in finding a temporary position?
B: Well, 32I moved here recently, so I thought your agency would be a good place to
find out about local companies. I don't have a business network here yet.
A: I see. 33Your résumé says you have computer programming experience. That
skill's in high demand.
B: Yes, I did programming for five years at my last job, so I'm very comfortable with it
A: Excellent. We should be able to place you with an employer shortly. As part of the
process though, 34please come in on Wednesday to complete your paperwork.
Questions 35-37:
A: Hi, Rosa. 35I'd like you to attend the annual technology trade show in Montreal.
A lot of other electronics companies will be there to showcase their latest products.
B: That's great! I appreciate the opportunity. 36Can I choose someone from my team to
take with me? That way we'll be able to visit more presentations.
A: Yes, that's a good idea. 37I'd recommend asking Taro to come with you. Why don't
call him to see if he can come to my office now and discuss it with us.
Questions 38-40:
A: Well, Ms. Yamamoto, 38your x-rays look good. Your teeth and gums are healthy.
We'll do a cleaning at your next appointment.
B: Thank you, but I... I thought I was going to get my teeth cleaned today. I made an
appointment for X-rays and a cleaning.
A: 39I'm... sorry. Whoever scheduled your appointment must not've explained our
policy. For new patients, the first visit is an inspection and x-rays.
B: I see. OK.
A: 40Ms. Petrova, please schedule a cleaning for Ms. Yamamoto.
C: Of course. Hmmm. Before I do that, 40I see in your file that we don't have your
records from your previous dentist. Would you please fill out this form so we can
request them?
B: Sure.
Questions 41-43:
A: Hi, I'm from the IT department. You wanted help setting up for a teleconference? I
can answer any questions you have about the equipment
B: Thanks. This is an important meeting. 41We're looking to finance a new project,
and I'm going to present to some people we hope will become investors.
A: OK, we'll make sure the technology will work smoothly.
B: 42This camera will automatically move to focus on whoever is speaking, right?
A: Yes.
B: But 42there will also be times that I want to control the camera manually. Can I
do that?
A: Sure, you can do that on the control panel. 43Let me demonstrate how it works.
Questions 44-46:
A: Ms. Gupta, 44do you think you could divert a little more money to the spring
catalog?
B: 44Isn't your budget the same as last season's?
A: 44It turns out the cost of photography will be higher this time. Our spring footwear
collection has lots of new colors and designs, and some old ones are being discontinued.
About half of the photos from last season need to be replaced.
B: Oh, I didn't realize that.
A: 45We could try to find another photographer, but Stefan Vogel always does such
a good job.
B: And we should keep him. 46Let's look at the plans for the catalog this afternoon
and see what revisions can be made.
Questions 47-49:
A: 47Did you hear about the smart screens that'll be installed in the guest rooms?
B: I did. They're supposed to make it easier for guests to control the temperature in their
rooms, schedule wake-up calls, order room service... things like that. 48And installation
should only take an hour in each hotel room.
A: 48But they're going to be using power tools. And the rooms are so close together.
B: The guest rooms are mostly soundproof. 49I just hope we have time to test the
screens out before our busy season in June. I don't want to deal with complaints about
them not working.
Questions 53-55:
A: Hello, I'm George from McKinnie Environmental Engineering.
B: Hi, thanks for coming. As you can see, we manage a large forest here. 53 We provide
lumber, plywood, and fiberboard for the construction and furniture industries.
These trees are our business.
A: And 54lately you've been noticing a problem?
C: Yes, several acres of pine on the other end of our property... the needles are all brown.
They look really unhealthy. But we can't figure out what's wrong.
A: 54I'll try to determine the cause. Might be a nutrient deficiency. First, 55I'll conduct
some soil tests. Can you show me to the site? I'll follow you in my truck.
Questions 56-58:
A: How can I help you?
B: Hello. I'm doing some renovating at home. 56I'll be replacing all the pipes, the sink,
and the bathtub in my bathroom. The pipes are lead, and the other fixtures are cast
iron. They're all very heavy.
A: That's no problem. 57We'll bring a dumpster out to your home, you fill it up with
scrap, and then we'll come remove it when you're ready.
B: OK. So, is payment determined by the number of days I keep the dumpster?
A: No, 58we'll weigh it before and after and charge you accordingly. Here's a list of
charges by kilogram.
Questions 59-61:
A: 59Finley Science Museum. Can I help you?
B: Hi, I'm calling about the asteroid lecture at your planetarium this Friday. I represent a
group of people with hearing impairments who'll be attending the lecture.
A: Oh, yes. I've already been notified, and 60I've hired a sign-language interpreter.
Your group has reserved seats on the right side of the theater, so they'll have a direct
view of her.
B: Great, thank you. One more thing—61at similar events, there've been problems
with the venue being too dark. Could you make sure there's a spotlight on the
interpreter?
A: Absolutely—I’ll be happy to arrange that.
Questions 62-64:
A: Hi, Hiroshi, it's Natalia. 62I know you're in the middle of completing the internal
audit of our company's manufacturing processes, and I just wanted to know how
that's going.
B: Almost done. It all looks good so far. There was one thing... 63I can't find the retired
work instructions, you know, the old paper copies.
A: 63The old work instructions are all in the green filing cabinet in the office. The
drawers are labeled.
B: OK, great... 64The new industry regulations are pretty strict, but, like I said, the
processes that I've checked so far are all in compliance.
Questions 65-67:
A: Hassan, 65thanks for your help motivating the other servers to collect surveys
from customers. We collected over four hundred responses. 65The owners are going to
use the feedback to make some changes to the menu and the table settings.
B: 66Your incentive of a bonus certainly helped persuade all the servers. I collected
63, and I know I'm looking forward to having a little extra in my paycheck.
A: Any plans for how you're going to spend it?
B: Actually, 67my phone is really old, and I've been wanting to upgrade it. The extra
cash will help with that.
Questions 68-70:
A: Satoshi, 68I’m planning a staff party to celebrate Lena’s promotion to director of
marketing.
B: That’s a great idea. When are you thinking of having the party?
A: 69Most people said they’d be available around five on March twenty-second.
Does that work for you?
B: Well, 69I have tickets to a music festival that night, but the festival doesn’t start
until seven on the twenty-second, so I can come for a little while.
A: Great! 70I’ll make a reservation at the new restaurant on Baker Street right away.
I know Lena has been wanting to try it.
