Listening task
A：Good morning. I'm phoning to enquire about your office shelving system...code number SS007.
B：Oh yes, what would you like to know? #
A：Well. I'd like to check on the dimensions first-make sure that they'll fit. First of all, how wide are they? #
B：Just a moment, sir, I'll get the specifications... you asked about the width... yes, the standard unit is 3.5 meters wide. #
A：And the height?
B：They're 2 meters high with flexible positions for the shelves.来源：第一考试网
#
A：How many shelves can actually be fitted?
#
B：Really as many as you like, but normally five.
#
A：I see. I need to know how much they stick out-in other words, how deep are they? #
B：They're 30 centimeters deep. #
A：Thanks, that's the dimensions. Now, what about delivery? #
B：Well, it depends how far you are from our warehouse.
#
A：We're about ten miles from the center. #
B：I see-well, that's in our free delivery area, so there'll be no extra charge for delivery.
#
A：Good. Actually, what I meant was how long does it take after I place an order? #
B：I see, sir. We guarantee delivery within two weeks. #
A：Good. Well, we're interested in ten of your standard units for a suite of offices. How much do you charge? #
B：Well, the unit cost is ₤98 but in view of the size of the order, we can offer a 5 per cent discount... just a moment, I'll just do the figures... yes, that comes to ₤931-let's round it off and call it ₤930.
A：That sounds reasonable. Finally, what sort of guarantee do you offer? #
B：Well, these units are extremely sturdy and reliable. There's the usual one-year guarantee but they have an average life of at least 20 years...

0.5 = o point five /point five
#
另外，在实际业务中，我们常常不用表示长、宽、高的词， 而简单地说成"33 X 24 X 10 cm"，读thirty-three by twenty- four by ten centimetres".这里的"by"即乘号的读法。 #
此外，在许多地方度量衡的单位不用公制而是用英制，请看下面的例子：来源：第一考试网
#
1 in. [one inch] 一英寸 #
2 in. [two inches] 二英寸 #
1 yd. [one yard] 一码
2 yd. [two yards] 两码 #
1 ft. [one foot] 一英尺
2 ft. [two feet] 两英尺 [注意：英尺的复数形式为feet]
