[02:54.42]I'm so sorry that I wasn't here to meet you on Monday.
[02:58.42]Was everything OK?
[03:01.50]Now before we get to the production floor,
[03:06.88] I have to ask you to put on these overalls.
[03:10.69] It's a safety requitement to wear them.
[03:14.38] It's also very important not to touch the machinery.
[03:19.65] OK,now follow me to the production floor ...
[03:27.12]The new machine is very similar to the old one,although it is a lot faster.
[03:35.82] Stand back,please!
[03:38.62] The line runs at 140 packs a minute,
[03:43.32] although it can do up to 190 packs.

[04:38.67]Right. I think that's everything.
[04:42.57] Is there anything else you'd like to see?
[04:45.65]LEE:Thank you. That was very interesting.
[04:49.15]DIANA:OK.Let's go to my office and we can discuss some more...
[04:54.56]Lesson 3
[04:57.35]Part B
[04:59.05]Listen to these three managers at Cathay Pacific
[05:02.65]talking about their departments.
[05:05.35]Which subjects do you think each one will talk about?
[05:08.92]Listen again and complete the notes from the meetingin your book.
[05:13.84]1 There's a lot of competition on our routes,
[05:19.24] but we have kept over 45 percent of the market of international flights
[05:25.54]and 70 percent of local flights.
[05:29.22]From market research,
[05:31.91] we think that the number of passengers will increase by 7 percent next year.
[05:37.82] We are starting a new advertising campaign next month
[05:42.31] which we hope will bring us more passengers.
[05:45.81]2 We've had a bad year.
[05:53.80]760 people lost their jobs.
[05:58.97]We've had to save money in other areas as well.
[06:04.07] However,with the new airport and the rise in passenger numbers next year,
[06:11.36] we think that we will hire over 1,000 people in the next 18 months.
[06:19.38]3 We've introduced a new quality control programme.
[06:28.08]Even though this has been a bad year,
[06:32.36]we must never let quality suffer!
[06:35.76]We have introduced new services for passengers
[06:40.85]and improved maintenance of our aircraft.
[06:45.05]Of course,costs have increased
[06:49.34]but if passengers remember good service in well-maintained aircraft,
[06:55.63]they are more likely to fly with us again.
[00:04.94]Listen to Diana phoning Paul,tick what he has done.
[00:09.85]PAUL:Paul Gething speaking.
[00:17.45]DIANA:Hello,Paul, this is Diana.
