Ok Jess, we've tentatively scheduled the conference for the twenty third to the twenty fifth of March. First, I need you to contact the keynote speaker, Professor Cartwright, and just make sure that he can attend on those days. Uh, next, if he agrees, can you make sure that the tentative dates, along with a tentative schedule for the talks, get e-mailed out to all the other speakers too, today, so that we have some time to juggle the talks around if anyone can't make it? Got that? Please give me a call when you return, just to verify that everything's clear. Thanks.

Good morning, and welcome aboard flight 533. Weather conditions this morning are fair, and we expect to land on schedule in Sydney in approximately 12 hours. In the course of the flight we will be serving you lunch, dinner, and a continental-style breakfast just before our arrival. The duty-free cart will be passing through the aisles shortly after take-off and, if you wish, you may take this opportunity to make purchases. You will find the duty-free magazine in the pocket of the seat in front of you. I would like to remind you, as always, smoking is not allowed anywhere on the plane. Now, as we begin taxiing for takeoff, please give your attention to our safety video. 

Hello, Ben. How are you getting on with the graphic designs for the magazine advertisements for Anna's florist shop? Well, guess what? Ms. Anna Tibbs just called me and said she's in town and would like to come past to 'see how we're getting on'. Yes, I know, I know, you were expecting to meet her next Friday, not today, so you're probably not at all prepared. But I couldn't turn her away, now, could I? She insisted. Anyway, just do the best you can to satisfy her that the work is progressing and that it's going to be fantastic when it's done. Obviously, you've got some preparation to do and the other tasks of the morning will have to wait. Ok, I'm in the office if you want a word.

Uh, yes, hello. I've just received my order of office supplies, and I must say I'm not at all satisfied with the condition they've arrived in. First of all, the white printer paper has been treated so roughly that the packet is ripped and the inner layers of paper are soiled. Even worse, the edges have all been bent; it will get stuck in the printer I'm sure. I've been trying to reach your customer service department all day and I can't get an answer. This is just not acceptable! I hope you will return this call ASAP and suggest what action you will take to rectify the situation.

Good morning. It's being reported that UK consumers now believe broadband is as essential a utility as electricity or water, according to a panel of government advisers. Some 73% of those questioned considered a high-speed connection very important. The Communications Consumer Panel's research involved a face-to-face survey with 2,000 people across the UK. It is expected that the report will include a government commitment to provide universal broadband at a speed of 2 megabits per second by 2014. The chair of the Communications Consumer Panel, Anna Bradley, said: "The key message is that people think broadband is at a tipping point. It's fantastically useful for everyone, essential for some now, but will be essential for everyone in the near future."

Hi Theresa. We have, basically, two choices for the convention. The Miramar Hotel on the seafront has excellent meeting facilities, and lots of restaurant options nearby, but it's the pricier of the two and parking might be a problem for the delegates. We were thinking of bringing in a caterer for meals, but the Miramar doesn't have space for us to do that. The Ritz, our other option, does. It's a bit out of town, but it's in a beautiful, peaceful location and parking isn't an issue. Also, I don't really like the seafront area at night; it's quite crowded and noisy. I'm leaning towards the Ritz. Let me know your thoughts. 

Hello, Ms. Kitching. I'm Mary Brown, and I'm calling you from Great Western Hospital, regarding your application for a nursing position. We would like to invite you for our first round of interviews. We'll be interviewing on the 24th and the 25th of September, and we've had a huge response from applicants, so they will be very busy days. We have not yet allocated you a time but I wanted to let you know now so that you could keep both days open. We'll be contacting you again next week with your specific interview date and time. Thank you for your interest in the position, and I look forward to meeting you!
