book one 8km from the historical center,

Part IV
Short Talks
All right, let’s get started. We’ve
been tasked with a job of monumental proportions. Let me begin by reminding you
that we’ve got over 2,000 drug companies and 150,000 food processing companies,
not to mention thousands of small exporters. And in recent months, a few of
the, shall we say, “less responsible” ones have failed to live up to good
practices. Recalls of their dangerous products have undermined our reputation
in the international market. Somehow, this team has to bring this giant under
control and to do that immediately. We’ll start with a thorough review of
product standards to identify which ones need to be tightened. Then, after
developing recommendations for inspection and enforcement, members of this
taskforce will directly supervise execution of the plan. I can assure you, we
will have a free hand and full backing of the governing council. Improvement of
our image and continued economic growth are foremost in their minds. You’ll
find my action outline in the folders you’ve been given …
1.

A.
A member of the
government.
B.
Executive of an
exporting firm.
C.
Head of a
government taskforce.
D.
Owner of a food
processing company.
(C. In addition to the
take-charge tone of the speaker, this answer is supported by: We’ve been tasked with a job of monumental
proportions … members of this taskforce … You’ll find my action outline)
2.
Why has this working group been created?
A.
To arrest shady
businessmen.
B.
To close
offending businesses.
C.
To cover up
company errors.
D.
To improve
standards and compliance.
(D. After summarizing
the problems they will correct, the speaker says: We’ll
start with a thorough review of product standards to identify which ones need
to be tightened. Then, after developing recommendations for inspection and
enforcement, members of this taskforce will directly supervise execution of the
plan)
3.
What can the listeners expect from their government?
A.
A degree of
resistance to change.
B.
Blocking of
measures seen as extreme.
C.
Full support for
implementing their plan.
D.
Lip service
without real backing.
(C. This is based on: I can assure you, we will have a free hand
and full backing of the governing council)
Okay, this is what I’ve put
together so far. This is the cover slide, and the second has our team listed. I
thought I would start with a pie chart to illustrate our market share. Then, I
want to use this line graph to show our company’s growth over the past five
years. And then, this multiple line graph, showing our growth against the other
leading competitors. They’re scattered all over the charts, and we clearly are
in the lead. I think a bar chart at this point might be good, something that
shows the dollar amount of market share for each of us, five years ago and
today. We can put today’s bar in the bright color with a darker shade of the
same color for the amount five years ago. What I’m still up in the air about is
which color to give our company throughout. Red would stand out – and that’s
what we want if we’re to attract additional investors – but I also lean toward
bright green or even black. Both colors are perceived as positives in business
jargon. I’m really not sure about this. What do you think?
1.

Bar chart

D.
To show the company’s
artistic design capability
(B. This is based on
the items shown: market share, growth, growth compared to competitors and
capped with: that’s what we want if we’re to attract additional investors)
3.
What is the speaker indecisive about?
A.
The amount of
company growth to mention
B.
The colors to
represent his company
C.
In the black
D.
The order in
which to present the slides
(C. The speaker says:
What I'm still up in the air about is which color to give our company
throughout The use of the idiom up in the air which means not decided on
clearly shows that the speaker is indecisive)

the risk is greater. Without that, loans would not be available to many low
income and minority borrowers)
