LISTENING

Exercise 1

You are going to hear a talk between Peter Wiles and John Martin. Before you listen to the conversation look at these statements. After you have listened to the tape determine whether these statements are true (T) or false (F). Explain why.

1. Peter Wiles decided not to borrow John Martin’s tape recorder because he came to his office in person and dictated a long report to Jane.
2. The reason why Peter asked John to spare him a second was a memo Peter sent him about the delivery delay on the console control desks.
3. Peter thinks that everything has gone wrong with the steel sheets, which they need for the desks from new suppliers. These suppliers have got some trouble or other. They say they’ll be a bit late with delivery.
4. It's a very important contract because those console control desks are a special order and are wanted for one of the big computer companies.
5. The new suppliers promised delivery on Thursday week.
6. What is worse there's a penalty clause in the contract with the computer company and Harper & Grant Ltd stand to lose ten per cent of their price for each day of overdue delivery.
7. Sales people have to accept penalty clauses, otherwise they don't get the contracts.
8. Peter only heard about the delay yesterday because they kept the production line clear to handle the special sheets.
9. If Harper & Grant don't meet their delivery date it won’t cost them a lot of money because they can claim compensation from the steel suppliers for failure to deliver on time and that will offset the penalty clause.
