Now open your question paper and look at Part 1.Part 1 You will hear three different extracts. For questions 1-6, Choose the answer (A, B or C) which fits best according to what You hear. There are two questions for each extract. You will hear each extract twice. Extract 1 The six months I spent in Milan were amazing. It wasn't just That I was part of a smaller team, it was also that I had to work with other local firms. I'd worked with the Italian office Before, during a banking deal, but being on the spot meant That I could really grasp how things work out there. That Experience helps a lot when you get home. I think that the firm's smaller European offices are different from, say, Hong Kong or Singapore - whicharemuchmorewhatI wouldbe Used to back home - so it was a good choice for me. I think sometimes as a trainee it can be difficult to see the Significance of some of the work you do. It took me a while to Appreciate the fact that without the routine elements, transactions simply can't complete successfully. Working in the firm's Milan office was an eye-opener for me, as it's a smaller outfit than back home and there's less in the way of practical Support, so it made me realise the importance of getting every Detail right and still being efficient about it.

That's how they met the requirements necessary to get an order, and they've posted a bond to Cover any loss you might incur. Client: So when do I get any say in the matter? It seems ridiculous that they're complaining about the chemical Operations when the local authority has no problems with it. We've been doing it for six years. Lawyer: Yes, I know, Robert ... and with the local authorities on our side, I wouldn't be overly worried. However, apparently the Homeowners do have some photographs to submit which May well support their argument. A hearing is scheduled for Next week to determine whether cause exists to continue the order or not pending a full trial. At the hearing, you'll need to Testify and provide the technical background. Client: I see. Now you will hear the recording again. Extract 3 Woman: Your new recruit called me about the Thwaite case the other day. How's she getting on? Man: Claudia? She's not doing badly, actually. She certainly Keeps the paperwork moving - which is more than can be said for her predecessor, I must say. I'm already able to Leave most routine aspects of cases to her without feeling I Date: 2015-12-11; view: 1044
