Clip 1
Sarah: Right then, Alex,
let’s get down to business. On the agenda today for our public relations meeting
are the research project, the launch of the website, the timeline for press
releases, and the secretary of the year award. Are you quite happy with
those points?
Alex: Yeah, that’s fine.
If you could go through them in order, that’d be great.
Clip 2
Alex: Okay everybody,
thanks for coming. Let's keep this meeting fairly brief, really just a couple of
things on the agenda. First of all, as you can see, the news on the book
re-launch; and secondly, the office move; and finally, we will have a little bit of time for any other business.

Phrases
First of all
Can I just ask you?
Sorry to hold the
meeting up
I do feel quite strongly
that…
I don’t think we’ve got
any choice at all
Any other thoughts?
Transcript
Sean: First of all, the
book re-launch. I just wanted to remind everybody that we will be re-launching the
fairy-tales range with new modern covers, and that this is going to
happen at the beginning of next month. It's important that we get this right
and there have been quite a few…
John: Actually Sean, can
I just ask you – sorry to hold the meeting up – can I ask you about those dates,
because I thought that this was going to be published the month
after next, and I understand that everybody has got their dates, but I do
feel quite strongly that we’re bringing this out too soon.
Sean: Well, any other
thoughts before I comment on that?
Carrie: I don’t think we’ve
got any choice at all about it. If the radio programmes are going out at the
beginning of next month, we’ve got to launch the book at the same time if we’re going to have any sales impact.
Meetings:
agreeing and disagreeing
Useful
Phrases
I just wanted to see
what kind of feedback you’ve got
I really strongly
disagree
Actually, I think Sean
is right
I‘d be much happier
Speaking as an editor…
I think Sean’s floor
plan is right
Transcript
Sean: The office move,
as you know, the plans have been up by the main exit for a week now. I just
wanted to see what kind of feedback you’ve got.
Tim: Yeah, Sean, I’m
sorry, but I really strongly disagree with the new floor plan. I think it's
divisive to separate the secretaries and the assistants out from the editors and
managers. I’d be much happier if we could be located in teams.
Carrie: Actually, I
think Sean is right. I’ve been chatting to some of the secretaries and they’re quite keen
to all be sitting in the same area, and, speaking as an editor, I think I’d
like to be with other editors so that we can bounce ideas off each other and things. So I think Sean’s floor plan is right.
Meetings:
Any other business
Useful
Phrases
Any other business
I would like to say
something
If that’s all right
That sounds good
That’s probably about it
Anybody got anything
else they want to raise before we wrap up?
There are a couple of
conflicts in the diary
Transcript
Sean: Okay - any other
business?
Will: Yes, I would like
to say something. An illustrator came in last week, and I think she's very good
and it would be wise to put her on our books.
Sean: … okay …
Will: I would like to be
able to show her drawings and her portfolio in the next couple of days. If that’s
all right...
All: That sounds good…
Sean: Yes, I'll look
forward to seeing those. Right, I think that’s probably about it, but anybody got
anything else that they desperately want to raise before we wrap up?
All: Nope.
Sean: No? Okay. We'll be
having another meeting, but there are a couple of conflicts in the diary
so I think the best thing is if I email the date of the next meeting.
