This workshop will be called “Creat-ing Team Players” and will take place during the an-nual sales meeting in July. Every employee will be grouped into a team, consisting of employees across all departments. Each team will have a mentor, who will guide participants through activities that will help employees learn how to work together. We hope that the workshop will allow everyone in the com-pany to get to know each other. Other companies have had very good success with this type of work-shop, so we hope we will also see improved produc-tivity and cooperation after this workshop. If the first workshop is successful, “Creating Team Players” will be held every year. Let‘s have fun at this first work-shop in July! Track 82 What is the purpose of the workshop? Track 83 For whom is the workshop? Track 84 Who will be in each group? Track 85 I would like to introduce Andrew Smith. Mr. Smith is a motivational speaker, an author, and a global expert on creativity in the workplace. We all know that cre-ative thinking is important in creating new ideas, in marketing and in every area of business. Mr. Smith helps companies reach success by teaching employees, management, and all people within a company how to be more creative. Having studied in Stanford Uni-versity, Mr. Smith founded his own business, Creative Works, which provides seminars, workshops, and cre-ativity programs for businesses. Mr. Smith has helped small businesses and Fortune 500 companies in the United States, Canada, Japan, and Europe become more creative and profitable. Here at this year’s “Reaching the Stars” business conference, Mr. Smith will be talking about the role of creative thinking in business. There will be a question period after his talk. Track 86 Where is this speech taking place? Track 87 Who is Mr. Smith? Track 88 Why is the topic of the talk creativity?

Track 93 Hello, class, I am your new instructor for this class, “History 101.” Dr. Stevens, your former instructor, has asked me to take over this class. My name is Dr. Terry and my specialty at this university is Modern Western History. Even though we will be working to-gether from now on, the class will proceed much as it would under Dr. Stevens.We will begin where you left off—with a discussion of World War I. The final exam will still cover everything you will have learned during the year, which means it will cover everything from the Ottoman Empire to the Cold War.

Track 97 Hello, passengers, and welcome to Cloud 9 Airlines, flight 767, with nonstop service to London.

If you like, you can purchase headphones from one of the flight attendants to view the movie. The flight safety demonstration will begin shortly. Track 98 What is happening in this talk? Track 99 When can passengers use mobile devices? Track 100 What entertainment is offered on the flight? Track 101 Hello, class, I am your guest lecturer today and I will be speaking about the Romantic Era. The Romantic Era, or the Age of Romanticism, began in the late 1700s in Western Europe. During this age, many fa-mous composers and writers created masterpieces that we still enjoy today. Romanticism was a reaction to the Age of Enlightenment, which emphasized sci-ence and reason. The Romantics praised art instead. During the Age of Romanticism emotion was some-thing to be proud of. Artists and writers considered nature in a spiritual or emotional sense rather than through science. They looked to foreign countries for inspiration and new topics. Track 102 Where is this conversation likely taking place? Track 103 What is the speaker discussing? Track 104 What was Romanticism a reaction to, according to the speaker?

Track 119 What is being forecast? Track 120 What should viewers do? Track 121 Buying your first home can be a challenge, but there are many people and services to help you. Your real estate agent, for example, can help you find a home that suits your needs and budget and will guide you through the process of buying the home. A mortgage professional will help you get the loan you need to buy your home. Many banks have workshops and offer free services to first-time homebuyers, too. These seminars and work-shops cover all the basics and help you understand what you need to do to buy your home. It can seem challeng-ing to buy a property, but it can be done.

Track 123 The woman, man, and two boys are fishing outdoors. The boys are holding the fishing rods. Everyone is looking at the camera and smiling. The weather is bright and the adults are wearing sunglasses. Track 124 I have worked with computers three years and have studied them in school. I am familiar with them and use them every day. Track 125 I prefer laptop computers with a Windows system. I like to be able to travel with my computer. Track 126 I most often use my computer for word processing and e-mail at work. I surf the Internet each day, so the Internet is important to me. Once a week, I create a presentation using PowerPoint.A few times a month, I use a spreadsheet to calculate sales.

Track 130 Hello, My name Stacey Williams, and I saw an ad for your company, Wilson Recruiters. I understand that you help people find work.Well, I am a receptionist. I used to work for a dentist’s office downtown but I am now looking for work. I have never used a recruiter service before. I went on your company website and noticed that I can upload my resume to your website. Is that how this service will work? You can reach me at 555-6888. If you could get back to me with more details of how to apply, that would be great. 338 –APPENDIX: AUDIO FILE TRANSCRIPTS– Track 131 Hello, Stacey, my name is Anna and I work for Wilson Recruiters. You are correct—you can apply for any position by uploading your resume to our website. Once we have your resume, we pair you with compa-nies who ask us to find them good employees. We sometimes call to ask for additional information about your experience and education, so that we can better help you find a job. You can also choose to come in to the offices to drop off your resume in per-son. That way, we can discuss your work search fur-ther. If I can be of any assistance, please feel free to call. Track 132 I think that both natural medicine and modern med-icine have their place, because they are not two differ-ent things. Many modern medicines are based on old practices. Modern scientists are always finding new herbs and plants that cure diseases, and plants have been used for a long time to make us healthy. Not all plants and natural cures are healthy, either, while many modern medicines have side effects. I think that trying to stay healthy with good diet and exercise is important, even though diet and exercise are not very modern ideas. However, if someone gets sick it is very useful to be able to run accurate tests with mod-ern scanners and equipment to find the cause of the problem. I would not want to choose between natural and modern medicine, because both are important and both work together to keep us healthy. Chapter 4: Listening Comprehension Review Track 133 a.
