[02:54.42]I'm so sorry that I wasn't here to meet you on Monday.

[02:58.42]Was everything OK?

[03:01.50]Now before we get to the production floor,

[03:06.88] I have to ask you to put on these overalls 3.

[03:10.69] It's a safety requitement to wear them.

[03:14.38] It's also very important not to touch the machinery 4.

[03:19.65] OK,now follow me to the production floor ...

[03:27.12]The new machine is very similar to the old one,although it is a lot faster.

[03:35.82] Stand back,please!

[03:38.62] The line runs at 140 packs a minute,

[03:43.32] although it can do up to 190 packs.

[03:50.71]DIANA:Please come this way to the sorting department, where......

[03:55.42] Right.Here we are.

[04:06.83]LEE:Oh,I'm sorry.

[04:09.31]DIANA:And over here it counts them and puts them into bottles.

[04:15.69] The bottles then travel along this conveyor belt.

[04:21.77] It goes very fast-please be careful!

[04:25.98] Then it puts the cap on the bottles.And this is where it labels 8 them.

[04:34.68]Now if you follow me,we'll......

[04:38.67]Right. I think that's everything.

[04:42.57] Is there anything else you'd like to see?

[04:45.65]LEE:Thank you. That was very interesting.

[04:49.15]DIANA:OK.Let's go to my office and we can discuss some more...

[04:54.56]Lesson 3

[04:57.35]Part B

[04:59.05]Listen to these three managers at Cathay Pacific

[05:02.65]talking about their departments.

[05:05.35]Which subjects do you think each one will talk about?

[05:08.92]Listen again and complete the notes from the meetingin your book.

[05:13.84]1 There's a lot of competition on our routes 9,

[05:19.24] but we have kept over 45 percent of the market of international flights

[05:25.54]and 70 percent of local flights.

[05:29.22]From market research,

[05:31.91] we think that the number of passengers will increase by 7 percent next year.

[05:37.82] We are starting a new advertising 10 campaign 11 next month

[05:42.31] which we hope will bring us more passengers.

[05:45.81]2 We've had a bad year.

[05:53.80]760 people lost their jobs.

[05:58.97]We've had to save money in other areas as well.

[06:04.07] However,with the new airport and the rise in passenger numbers next year,

[06:11.36] we think that we will hire over 1,000 people in the next 18 months.

[06:19.38]3 We've introduced a new quality control programme.

[06:28.08]Even though this has been a bad year,

[06:32.36]we must never let quality suffer!

[06:35.76]We have introduced new services for passengers

[06:40.85]and improved maintenance 12 of our aircraft 13.

[06:45.05]Of course,costs have increased

[06:49.34]but if passengers remember good service in well-maintained aircraft,

[06:55.63]they are more likely to fly with us again.
