Questions 19 to 22 are based on the following conversation。
---Good morning, Patricia。 How are you these days?
---Fine, thanks, Bill。
Glad to see you again。 What news can you bring from your business trip to our headquarters in New York last week?
---Well, not bad ones。
During my stay in New York last week, I met our company’s CEO Mr。 Johnson。 He wants us to put on a local conference sometime next month。
I remember you made most of the arrangements for our last conference, and things went so smoothly。 I thought I couldn’t do better than ask you for some tips。
---I’ll be glad to help。 Is it a sales conference again?
---Yes, in a way。 It’s mainly for agents from home and abroad, and we’re inviting a few of our influential customers。
The objectives are mainly to introduce the products we’ll put in on the markets next season, to describe our services to customers and so on。
---And how many people are expected to attend this time? Last time, it was about 220。
---We’re counting on 300 this time。
No more than 350。
---Then we can not use the seaside conference hall again。 It has a capacity of only 250。
---That’s the trouble。
I was thinking of the President Convention Center, which has a larger capacity。 Besides, I haven’t worked out all those details yet。
Then there are other things to arrange, like loudspeakers and visual aids。 I’m going to make a checklist。
---Yes, I did that, too。
I’ll be glad to give you a hand。
---That would be great, Patricia。 I’d very much like to chance of using some of your experience。
May I invite you to lunch today? And then we could have a bit of planning session about it all afterwards。
