Adam

Hello Cheap Calls Unlimited, this is Adam O’Shaughnessy. How can I help you?

Mandy I heard something on the TV the other day about cheap local and national calls. Do
you have a new offer available at the moment?
Adam

That's right! You would have heard about our special no-limit offer.

Mandy How does it work? How can I save?
Adam

Well, do you make many calls outside your local area?

Mandy Yes, as a matter of fact, I often call my mother-in-law in Sydney and I sometimes
call Perth and Melbourne, we've got family there
Adam

OK. Where are you calling from?

Mandy Brisbane
Adam

Right! This would be perfect for you. How it works is you tell us which city you call
the most and we set up our special offer of 3 cents per minute no matter what time of
the day you call. But it gets better! We also offer you 10-cent local calls. No other
telephone carrier can offer you such a cheap plan!

Mandy Wow! That is cheaper than what I currently pay. But, what about international calls.

Good, now what about your telephone number, date of birth and do you have an
email address?

Mandy Yes. The telephone is 55 22 3481 my date of birth is July 13, 1972 and my email
address is that's M-A-N-D-Y at T-E-L-E dot com…why do you
need my date of birth?

Adam

Right…OK. Yes, we request your date of birth for security reasons. We will ask you
for this each time you call us to request information about your account… not for
making a payment…but, you know…if you wish to change any of your details…or
change your plan…you know…those kinds of things

Mandy Ok, I understand
Adam

OK… Right…well, we're finished. Do you have any other questions at all?

Mandy Yes, when does this new service actually start?
Adam

Yes, I'm going to send the information to our sales department. They will process it
today and your new service will be ready tomorrow. By next month you will really
start to experience the savings!

Mandy Fantastic. OK that's all I wanted to know…Oh, when will I receive the bill?
Adam

That'll be one month from the day you signed up. It will be sent on the same day


or 3. This year, we’ve decided to try them singly and see how they go. We’re
certainly not locked into any one way…all we do ask is that you use PowerPoint
for your presentations. The university has all the equipment you will need to
deliver the presentation, further details can be found at the Library… Yes,
young lady at the back…

Student 2 I noticed that there is no word limit given on the essay. Can you give us some
(woman)

more details about that?

Dr

Actually, the limit is listed…it just happens to be on the next page…a technical

Thomas

problem with the printing! Now you’ll be pleased to hear that we’ve reduced
the word count on the essay from last year. Before it was 2000 now it’s fifteen
hundred…so that gives you some more time for your oral report, right!

Student 2

Can you give us any indication of the topics that will be available…

Dr T

Ahh, not at the moment.
