W: You don’t sound very enthusiastic. It’s not that bad, is it? M: No, I don’t mind, really. But I can never forget the first speech of thanks I did. W: Why? What happened? M: Well, I was in my early twenties. I joined the local history society. W: Yes? M: Anyway, I went along to a lecture by a Miss Bligh. W: Oh. Do go on. M: She was going to talk with slides about our town in the mid-18th century. She had just published a book on the subject which was reckoned to be quite good. So I went along. When I arrived, the secretary asked me if I could give the speech of thanks. Rather stupidly, I said yes. W: We’ve all done it. M: Anyway, from that point on, I was scared. What should I say? I decided to make notes during the lecture and refer to interesting parts and thank her on behalf of the society. In fact, by the time Miss Bligh stood up to talk, I was feeling much better. But she was so nervous that she kept forgetting what to say, and she spoke almost in a whisper. People at the back kept calling out “We can’t hear.” It was embarrassing. W: I can imagine it. M: At least the slides were good, that is, until the bulb in the projector blew. And she had to finish her talk with no illustrations. W: So what did you say in your speech of thanks? M: What can you say? You have be polite. I mentioned the interesting facts, referred to the excellent slides, and the finished by saying “We’d all like to thank Miss Bligh for blowing out her slides.” W: Oh, no. M: I felt terrible. I tried to apologize, not very successfully. W: And the speech of thanks this evening? M: I’ll write down exactly what I’m going to say and read it carefully. 1.

Conversation-2 W: Another cup of tea, Paul? M: No, thanks. Well, what’s new, Laurie? W: Nothing dramatic. But there is something you should know about. M: What’s that? M: Oh, them. Well, they are hardly a threat. W: I know they are smaller than us, but we can’t afford to ignore them. M: Don’t tell me! The letter from the tax revenue office? W: Right. How did you know? M: Tara told me. What’s the problem? W: Well. Tome got this letter late yesterday and then went frantic trying to find copies of last year’s accounts. M: Did he find them? W: No. And he was away before I could get hold of the letter. M: How about a drive down to the office now? And we’ll see if everything’s all right. There’s another reason why I wanted a chat with you before Monday. W: I thought as much. Well, go on. Surprise me. M: How about selling that new motorcycle of yours in Indonesia? W: What? You mean export? Paul, I think you’ve been away too long. This is Jayal Motors. We’ve never sold a bike abroad. M: Don’t worry, Laurie. I’m not crazy. I’ve been studying the possibility and I think we should give it a go. W: It’s not as easy as that, though, is it? We’ll have to reorganize the whole pany. W: A few problems? I can see hundreds. For one thing, transport. I have enough trouble delivering bikes to shops only 40 miles away, never mind 5,000 miles! M: That’s what forwarding agents are for. 5.
