E
Employee
Good afternoon. Welcome to Matrix Printing. I'm John Smith. How can I help you?
C
Customer
Good afternoon. I'm here to reprint a brochure for our hotel. There are some pages that need revising.
E
Employee
Sure. How may I address you?
C
Customer
Oh, I'm Mary Jane from Central Hotel Chains. Nice to meet you. I've got samples of the previous version.
E
Employee
I assume it is your company's advertising brochure.
C
Customer
Yes.
E
Employee
What exactly is the problem?
C
Customer
Well, it was printed the year before, so some of the information is already out of date. There are also a couple of problems with the layout. Firstly, the letters of the address on the front page are far too small. It's hard to see when glancing at the cover.
E
Employee
How big do you need it to be?
C
Customer
Increase the letters by three font sizes.
E
Employee
Just a minute. Let me take notes of your requirements. OK. What else needs changing?
C
Customer
The information regarding the pool should be deleted, because it is currently under renovation and is not available.
E
Employee
So all of the relevant descriptions on page two should be removed. What do we replace it with? We can't just leave the whole page blank.
C
Customer
Just fill it in with the introduction of our newly opened gym. I've included all the relevant information here in this flash drive.
E
Employee
Let me check. I see. No problem then.
C
Customer
What is also bothering us is that the description under the top photos on page four is incorrect. The word lounge needs to be replaced with reception.
E
Employee
Fully noted. Is that all?
C
Customer
No, there is more. Turn to page five. We feel that showing merely the picture of our exterior and interior decoration does not fully represent the appeal of our hotel. On second thought, we've decided to use a picture with the view of the hotel.
E
Employee
Do you have the original copy of the picture?
C
Customer
Yes, it is also enclosed in the flash drive.
E
Employee
OK. We'll re-edit the whole layout of the photos.
C
Customer
Great. Let's turn to the next page.
E
Employee
Yes. What's wrong with that? It seems perfectly fine to me.
C
Customer
At first sight, it seems fine. But according to the feedback of the customers, the prices do not stand out. So, we want to change the print from black to red to make it pop out.
E
Employee
OK. I've made notes of all of your requests. Is there anything else?
C
Customer
I appreciate it. Just one final request. Could you translate the whole brochure into Spanish? We have customers worldwide, you know, especially those from Latin countries.
E
Employee
No problem. What about other languages, like Japanese, Chinese or German? These are our most popular target languages.
C
Customer
I have to ask the manager about the Chinese version. There's been a surging number of Chinese clients during recent years. However, we don't need German or Japanese translations, as we currently don't have many customers from those two countries.
E
Employee
Sure. Just keep me updated.
C
Customer
So, roughly, when can we get the revised print? We need it before the end of July.
E
Employee
It's late June now. Roughly, it will take three weeks to re-edit. So we'll definitely be ready before the deadline.
C
Customer
Great.
E
Employee
To where shall we send the samples?
C
Customer
The address is number nine, green drive, Cliffton, NY21300.
E
Employee
How do you spell Clifton?
C
Customer
C-L-I-F-F-T-O-N, Clifton.
E
Employee
And the telephone number?
C
Customer
It's 903036602. Also, if you have any further questions, you can reach me through this number.
E
Employee
Okay.

Try to answer first and read the transcript afterwards. It is most useful for finding out why an answer was missed.
