Techi:Yes, you really need a data projector to display a slide show from your laptop.UNIT 4 CONFERENCES AND PRESENTATIONS Dialogue 1 Network with Colleagues Mark:Excuse me, aren’t you Jeniffer Weaver? Jeniffer:Yes, I am. Mark:I’m Mark Bailey, from the Atlanta office. I know, we’ve met but… Jeniffer:Oh, Mark! Yes, I remember. Weren’t you at the management conference in Miami last spring? Mark:Of course, that’s it. It’s nice to see you again, Jeniffer. Jeniffer:You too, Mark. Mark:As I recall, you are based overseas. Jeniffer:In London. I’m the European sales director. Mark:That’s right. How is it going over there? Jeniffer:Splendidly! Our third quarter sales were phenomenal. Mark:Good for you. And how do you like working in Europe? Jeniffer:Well, I did like it very much, but now I’m getting tired of all the travelling. After I return to London this time, I’m going to stay put for a while. Mark:I’m on the road a lot, too. The southeast region is growing by leaps and bounds. Jeniffer:Oh, that reminds me. I met someone today who was asking about our products…an independent distributor. Here is his card. He might be a good lead for you. Mark:Thanks, when I finish my presentation, I‘ll look around for him. Jeniffer:So, you are presenting today? Mark:Yes, I am. In the Blue Room at 1.30 Jeniffer:I’ll see if I can workthat into my schedule. I have to interview a candidate for a job opening before I do anything else today. Mark:Oh, what job is it? Jeniffer:My assistant. My last one quit suddenly, without notice. Mark:That’s unfortunate. Didn’t she know you are supposed to give two weeks’ notice before you leave a job? Jeniffer:It was a he. He got a job for more money and decided he had to leave immediately. Mark:Well, I hope you find the perfect person for the job. Jeniffer, I’d better see if the room is set up for the presentation. I hope you can make it. Jeniffer:I’ll try to come over just as soon as I finish the interview. Mark:Good, and when you get back to the US again, let me know. I’d like you to have dinner with my wife and me. Jeniffer:I’d like that. And let me know if that lead I gave you works out. Mark:Will do. I’ll e-mail you when I land that big contract with him. Jeniffer:Please, good-bye, Mark. Mark:Good-bye, Jeniffer!
Dialogue 2 Set Up a Presentation Techi:Hello, Mr. Bailey. Mark:Oh, good afternoon, Mr… Techi:Gordon, Jim Gordon. I’m in the charge of the audio visual department here. You called for something. Mark:Yes, I did. I forgot to order one important piece of equipment. Techi:If you tell me exactly what you need, I’ll have it here right away. Mark:A data projector for my slides. I do have transparencies for an overhead with me as a backup in case you don’t have… Techi:Yes, you really need a data projector to display a slide show from your laptop. Mark:You got it. Techi:Yes. Mark:If I don’t have it, my presentation is going to look like something out of the Stone Age. The graphics just don’t show up well on transparencies. Techi:I’ll have it here in ten minutes. If we have an extra available. I’m almost positive we have one for you, though. Mark:Jim, if you get a data projector here in 10 minutes, it’ll make my day. Techi:Sounds good to me, Mr Bailey! Mark:Great! Thanks for your help! Techi:No problem. And if you need anything else, just let me know. Date: 2016-03-03; view: 1398
