           7 Define Me!


           Junko: Hello, Junko Mori speaking. How can I help you?
           Andrea: Hi, Junko, it’s Andrea here from Red Band. I’m calling about our latest order.
           Junko: Everything arrived OK, right? We got the delivery confirmation at our end.
           Andrea: Yes, everything’s fine with the order. I’m calling about the invoice and the payment terms. I need a favor.
           Junko: A favor? What do you need?
           Andrea: This is a little, er ... difficult, but I need an extension on the payment terms. I know they’re usually 30 days,
           but we’re having some cash flow problems. You’d really be helping us out if you could extend it to 60 days.
           Junko: I’m not sure if I can do that, Andrea. We’ve got regulations at our end, and also have to manage our own
           cash flow.
           Andrea: I promise this won’t become the norm, Junko. Actually, I also want to place another new order. The same
           size order as last time. It’s for an important customer and they pay on delivery.
           Junko: I see. So, your cash flow problem will be solved after this new order is delivered.
           Andrea: Exactly.
           Junko: That sounds good. Hold on, Andrea. Let me see what I can do. Yes, I think we can make an exception this
           time.
           Andrea: That’s great, Junko. I appreciate your help.
           Junko: And we appreciate your business, Andrea. It works both ways.
           Andrea: Thanks again, Junko. Can you send me a quick email confirmation of the payment terms extension?
           Junko: Sure, no problem. We’re happy to help you.
           Andrea: Great. And I’ll email you the new order.
           Junko: Thanks. I’ll keep an eye out for it. Talk to you soon.
           Andrea: You too. Goodbye.

           11 Listening Chairs

           Heather Horner: Extract 8 - Steve Vance calls the Commission for New Towns.
           Veronika Hyks: Good morning. CNT. How can I help?
           Stuart Fox (employee at CNT): Ah, good morning. Steve Vance here from Reloc in London. We’re doing some
           research for a Japanese company looking at sites for a new plant and I need some information.
           Veronika Hyks: Right. What are you interested in?
           Stuart Fox: Well, at the moment I need general information about the towns. Could you send me some information
           packs?
           Veronika Hyks: Yes. We’ve got packs about each town and they come with a video.
           Stuart Fox: That sounds fine. Could you send me three or four of each pack?
           Veronika Hyks: Mmm… Certainly.
           Stuart Fox: And I’d like some more detailed material facts and figures, statistics on population, distances... That
           sort of thing...
           Veronika Hyks: Hmm… Well, we have statistical reports on the towns. Would you like me to send them with the
           information packs?
           Stuart Fox: Great. One thing - it’s rather urgent...
           Veronika Hyks: No problem. I’ll send them by courier. Is there anything else I can help with?
           Stuart Fox: Well, we’ll need to study one location in detail. Could we meet someone from CNT to discuss that?
