W: And finally the weather. Tonight we'll be cool and cloudy in most parts of the country with some showers in the north. The temperature will be cool, around eleven degrees. The wind will get stronger overnight, bringing a fresh bright morning, clear skies and a hot sunny day all over. The temperature in the south will hit twenty-three degrees in the early afternoon, but lower in the north, around twenty degrees. The temperature will cool off in the early evening, dropping to around fifteen degrees, but still clear and warm. So a good day for an evening barbeque. That's all for now. Good night.

W: John, just a few questions on your motivation. I know you've developed your business with local people. What made you do that?
M: Well, I've always tried to employ local people to help the local industry. But because we are not provinces of Spain with little unemployment, I have to use people from outside the area, too.
W: What about management style? Are you a hard manager, John?
M: No, I don't think so. I've got strong character and as a manager, I am strong, but when I need to fire people, I give them five or… ten more chances.
W: And what's the future for you? What will keep you going?
M: For business, well, a new vice president joined the company two weeks ago, so I can devote more time to customers and new products. And privately, I have decided to improve my quality of life. I am thinking of taking every Wednesday afternoon off. This means I can do some training courses, more relaxing activities.

W: Hello, Home & Office Supplies. Can I help you?
M: Yes, it's Thompson Electronics here. We have an account with you.
W: Oh, yes. How can I help?
M: We've just had some printers delivered, but they are the wrong ones.
W: Oh, dear. I do apologize for the mistake.
M: I don't know how you could have got it wrong. We order from you all the time.
W: I know. But unfortunately, we've been having a problem with our computer system.
M: Well, how can we sort this out?
W: Could you bear with me a moment please? Ah, yes, I have the order here. You want 25 HW3C56 printers. Is that correct?
