Questions 14 - 17:

Reading text:

Beatrice Swenson [1:22] I was checking out the sample pictures Billy Blake took of our products for the launch of our online store. I don't think they fully convey what it is like to shop in one of our retail stores. Our products should be displayed in a more comfortable setting that makes customers feel at home. I've forwarded the pictures to your e-mail. Let me know what you think.
Roberto Hernandez [1:29] I see what you mean. It would be nice to have pictures of each product in an actual home setting.
Angela Orbison [1:30] I feel the same as Roberto. And it might be a good idea to hire some models too. Show actual people using our dishes or sitting on rugs. It would help connect our products to consumers.
Beatrice Swenson [1:31] I agree with both your points. But should we go with a different photographer?
Angela Orbison [1:33] I thought his work was quite good, but it just doesn't match our products' style.
Roberto Hernandez [1:34] Well, maybe give him a second chance. Tell him about our concerns and see what he can come up with. It would save us the hassle of locating someone else.
Beatrice Swenson [1:38] You're right, Roberto. I should give him another shot at it. I'll tell him he can use one of our stores as a location if needed. I'll let you know how it goes. Can I get an update on your assignments?
Roberto Hernandez [1:42] The shipment of vases from Thailand hasn't arrived yet, so we might not be able to list them on the site by the launch date. Other than that, everything is fine.
Angela Orbison [1:42] I've completed most of the site's checkout system after several months of working on it. There are a few minor glitches to work out, but overall I am on schedule and the system will be operational within a few days.

14. What is mainly being discussed?
15. At 1:38, what does Ms. Swenson mean when she writes, "give him another shot at it"?

Shannon Grant 6:39 P.M.
Hey guys, we need to sort out who’s going to bring what to our annual birdwatching club outing to Crimson Falls next week.

 

Thomas Gagne 6:41 P.M.
I’ll bring the kitchen utensils. I think we should all bring our own cutlery instead of using plastic ones to minimize the amount of garbage.

 

Larry Olson 6:43 P.M.
That’s a good idea.

 

Shannon Grant 6:46 P.M.
I can bring a tent and some other outdoor equipment. My dad goes rock climbing a lot, so he has loads of outdoor equipment in the garage. I’ll pick up some things from his pile.

 

Jamie Smith 6:50 P.M.
Sam and I will be in charge of food. We are going grocery shopping tomorrow. Any special requests?

 

Larry Olson 6:52 P.M.
I’ll bring some extra blankets in case it rains or it gets too cold inside the tent at night.

 

Shannon Grant 6:53 P.M.
That’s a great idea. Thanks, Larry.

 

Thomas Gagne 6:53 P.M.
Jamie, don’t forget the marshmallows!

 

Jamie Smith 6:54 P.M.
You know that will never happen. Even if I did, Sam would definitely be there to remind me.

 

Sam Lorenzo 6:55 P.M.
Certainly, they are the first on my shopping list.

John Mallet [3:45 P.M.] Hi, everyone. You'll be happy to know that management gave me approval to send some of our people to the career fair at Duluth University next month.
Janet Chan [3:48 P.M.] That's excellent news. A lot of students have probably heard of our company, since Go-C Tech is such a short distance from the campus.
John Mallet [3:52 P.M.] Exactly, however, our budget is limited, so we need to decide which departments should be represented. We can't send everyone.
Melissa Kovac [3:55 P.M.] My marketing team recruited quite a few new people just last month. You can leave me out.
John Mallet [4:00 P.M.] I'll keep that in mind. And I think the accounting department should participate. Management feels that they will need more help when our purchase of Stanfield Incorporated moves forward. I'll speak to Susan Edwards about it.
Peter Mercer [4:01 P.M.] I need to supervise product testing in the research and development department for the next few months. Can I send someone in my place?
John Mallet [4:03 P.M.] Of course. Who do you choose, Peter?
Peter Mercer [4:05 P.M.] Amy Lintan. She doesn't have a lot of experience, but she's quite knowledgeable about our department's needs.
John Mallet [4:08 P.M.] That's fine. Perhaps someone who has been employed for a shorter time can provide a valuable perspective on what it is like to join our company.

DBX Studio, Inc.
445 Mass Ave.
Boston, MA 02143

Dear DBX Studio:

I wanted to thank you for your passionate commitment to web design and superior customer service. I develop customer relationship management strategies on a daily basis for my clients and I am NEVER easily impressed with customer service in any industry. In fact, my motto had been that customer service is mediocre at best. I am glad to say that oBX Studio proved me wrong and my web site is clear proof of that!

When I first talked to Douglas, one of your associates, on the phone, I knew he was the right web designer for me even though we had never met or spoken before. I was impressed most with Douglas' commitment to my work and his willingness to educate me about the web design process.

Throughout my experience with DBX Studio I was always very satisfied with prompt and reliable service. Douglas told me that I could reach him at almost anytime. Now this is unheard of, and it is a great example of the kind of personal customer service today's businesses should strive for. I remember times when Douglas told me he would be working until 1 am or so on my web site to meet our deadlines. And sure enough, I would receive emails the next morning that were received anywhere from 1 to 3 am.

Thank you so much for all of your help - the web site looks terrific! I look forward to referring many of my clients to you.

Sincerely,
Scott Hatheaway
President of Speedenix

Gardenville to Resurrect Jefferson Cinema

Gardenville City Council members voted on Thursday to proceed with the restructuring and renovation of the old Jefferson Cinema on Jorgensen Street. The structure, built in the late 1920s, has sat vacant since it shut down in the 1980s. The opening of two multiplex theater complexes in Gardenville drove the one-screen cinema out of business.

Upon recommendation of the Gardenville Arts Council (GAC) and the Gardenville History Society, the city will invest a sum of $2.3 million in the building. The updated facility will be used as a venue for live theatrical performances and will be renamed The Jefferson Playhouse. Local theater group Flora-Lane Community Players will use the building for all its rehearsals and shows. Likewise, the venue will also be a space for visiting acts, performers, and theatrical groups. GAC President Marvin Lee said in a telephone interview "we are thrilled that the council approved the project unanimously. —[1]—. First, it will help preserve our local heritage and history, and it will also provide our community’s theater club with a more appropriate home". —[2]—. Flora-Lane Community Players currently practices and holds performances at the Carter Neighborhood Youth Center’s auditorium. —[3]—. However, with a seating capacity of only 100 audience members, the group’s growingly popular shows require a larger venue. —[4]—.

The project is scheduled to begin on June 8 and will last for approximately four months.
