173
Actually, I already asked him, but he's really busy too.
174
Oops.
175
Hey, why don't you ask Tina?
176
She usually goes to lunch around now.
177
That's a great idea.

Just take them to Al's Printing.
220
They're right across the street.

You're a lifesaver.

246
Well, my camera isn't working right.
247
That's too bad.
248
You can probably have someone repair it.
249
That's what I'm thinking.
250
You can try Hoyt Camera.
251
I've heard they're very good.
252
You could probably have it repaired there the same day.
253
Okay, I will.
254
Conversation 6.
255
The Mumbai office is gonna need this package ASAP.
256
You mean it hasn't been sent out yet?
257
No, the medications just came in yesterday.
258
Then you should use IDP services.
259
If they pick up the package this morning, they can get it to Mumbai really fast.
260
Good idea.
261
Conversation 7.
262
Hey, Lucio.
263
How's your new restaurant doing?

What's that?
268
This is my new menu.
269
I need to get someone to print 50 of them for me.
270
Do you know a good place for that?
271
Well, there's a place on Main Street.
272
I think it's called Harrison's.

304
That might be difficult.
305
I'm sorry, but it's pretty urgent.
306
This is a gift from my wife, and it's her birthday on Monday.
307
Well, I'll see what I can do, but it won't be ready until the afternoon.
308

309
You're a lifesaver.
310
Thanks.
311
Now let's change the conversation model again.
312
Don't stop.
313
Say you need to have the service completed earlier.
314
Ask how much it will cost.
315
Say as much as you can.
316
Excuse me.
317
Could I have these shoes repaired by the weekend?
318
This weekend?
319
That might be difficult.
320
I'm sorry, but it's pretty urgent.
321
I'm going on vacation for two weeks.
322
My flight is on Saturday.
323
Well, I'll see what I can do, but they won't be ready until Saturday morning.
324
But my flight is at 10 in the morning.
325
I'm sorry.
326
I know this is last minute, but I really need these shoes.
327
Do you think you could repair them earlier?
328
Well, you could pay a little more for faster service.
329
How much?
330
$3.50.
331
No problem.
332
Okay, then.
333
They'll be ready on Friday after 5.
334
Great.
335
What time do you close on Friday? At 6.
336
I really appreciate it.
337
Thanks a million.
338
You're welcome.
339
Well, I won't keep you any longer.
340
See you Friday.
341
Page 32.
342
Reading.
343
Read and listen.
344
How can I help you?
345
They say the customer is always right.
346
That may not be completely true, but a smart business treats customers as though they are.
347
Whether you work for a business or have your own, remember this secret.
348
Customers don't really buy services and products.
349
They buy solutions and relationships.
350
Here's how to keep them coming back.
351
Don't procrastinate.
352
Make sure you get things done on time.
353
Don't waste your customers valuable time by making them wait for service.
354
Giving customers what they want now is key to your success and it should be at the top of your to-do list.
355
The business that gets the job done efficiently and fast is the one that customers will come back to. Be really reliable.
356
If you say you're going to do something, do it.
357
If a problem keeps you from doing it, apologize and promise to find a solution.
358
However, avoid making promises you won't be able to keep.
359
Treat customers right by being honest, and they will recommend you to their colleagues, friends, and family.
360
Stand by your products and services.
361
The good workmanship and attention that go into your high-quality product, excellent service, or reasonable prices will be appreciated.
362
No one wants a product that falls apart or doesn't work.
363
If that happens, take responsibility and arrange to repair it or replace it.
364
Be extremely friendly and courteous as well as a good listener.
365
Be sure your customers feel respected and heard.
366
Pay attention to complaints as well as praise.
367
Always try to be helpful.
368
Sometimes it's difficult to answer a customer's question or fulfill a request.
369
Instead of, I don't know, say, I may not have the answer right now, but I'll find out.
370
Instead of, I don't have time right now, say, I'll make time.
371
A can-do attitude, even under stress, assures customers that you will treat them professionally and that you are ready and willing to help.
372
Above all, make your customers feel important and valued, and always thank them for their business.
373

Listen, I want to get the preparations moving moving for the talks at next month's event.
450
There are a few things we need to have done.
451
Great.
452
How can I help?
453
Well, I've asked someone to create an announcement, but we need someone to send them out.
454
Do you think you could find someone to do that?
455
No problem.
456
That's easy.
457
I'll get my brothers to do it.
458
Is there anything else you need?
459
Well, I've also asked someone to print some signs for the event.
460
Could you ask some people to help put up the signs that morning?

Sure.

I'll talk to some of my friends.

I'm sure they'll be willing to do it.

466
Hey, Gin.
467
How are ya?
468
Great.
469
Hey, thanks for volunteering to help with the event next month.
470
As our tech person, there are a few things you should put in your to-do list for the morning of the event.
471
Okay.
472
We'll need someone to check the sound system in each room before 8.30.
473
Is that okay? Of course.
474
I'll ask some of my colleagues to do that.
475
They're really good.
476
And for the talks, we'll want each speaker to be able to choose a handheld mic or a lapel mic, okay?
477
We don't want them to have to use the mic at the podium if they don't want to.
478
Understood.
479
I'll make sure that they set up in each room.
480
And of course, we'll need someone to set up the projectors in each room, too.
481
Don't worry.
482
They can do that, too.
483
Conversation 3 Good morning, Lester.
484
Ginny here.
485
Hi, Ginny.
486
Lester, I understand you already have a team of people ready to help out on the day of the event.
487
That's right.
488
I've got six volunteers already.
489
Great.
490
We'll need to get the chairs in each room set up before 8.30, about the same time that Myra's people will be checking the sound system.
491
Okay.
492
How many people do you think there'll be in each room?
493
It would be great if you could have each room set up for about 30 to 40 people. Will do.
494
And we'll need someone at the front table to hand out the agendas, and someone at the door to each room to give people any handouts for the talks.
495
No problem.
496
And Lester, do you think someone can introduce each speaker as well?
497
I may need to get a few more volunteers, but that should be no problem.
498
Good.
499
They'll have to be free to stand at the podium to do that, so it can't be the same person that's handing things out.
500
Right.
501
We'll work that out.
502
Thanks, Lester.

Ginny.
512
How are you doing?
513
I'm good, Ginny.
514
What's up?
515
Listen, I want to get the preparations moving for the talks at next month's event.
516
There are a few things we need to have done.
517
Great.
518
How can I help?
519
Well, I've asked someone to create an announcement, but we need someone to send them out.
520
Do you think you could find someone to do that?
521
No problem.
522
That's easy.
523
I'll get my brothers to do it.
524
Is there anything else you need?
525
Well, I've also asked someone to print some signs for the event.
526
Could you ask some people to help put up the signs that morning?
527
Sure.
528
I'll talk to some of my friends.
529
I'm sure they'll be willing to do it.
530
Conversation 2 Hello, Myra.
531
Ginny.
532
Hey, Gin.
533
How are ya?
534
Great.
535
Hey, thanks for volunteering to help with the event next month.
536
As our tech person, there are a few things you should put in your to-do list for the morning of the event.
537
Okay.
538
We'll need someone to check the sound system in each room before 8.30.
539
Is that okay? Of course.
540
I'll ask some of my colleagues to do that.
541
They're really good.
542
And for the talks, we'll want each speaker to be able to choose a handheld mic or a lapel mic, okay?
543
We don't want them to have to use the mic at the podium if they don't want to.
544
Understood.
545
I'll make sure that they set up in each room.
546
And of course, we'll need someone to set up the projectors in each room, too.
547
Don't worry.
548
They can do that, too.
549
Good morning, Lester.
550
Ginny here.
551
Hi, Ginny.
552
Lester, I understand you already have a team of people ready to help out on the day of the event.
553
That's right.
554
I've got six volunteers already.
555
Great.
556
We'll need to get the chairs in each room set up before 8.30, about the same time that Myra's people will be checking the sound system.
557
Okay.
558
How many people do you think there'll be in each room?
559
It would be great if you could have each room set up for about 30 to 40 people. Will do.
560
And we'll need someone at the front table to hand out the agendas.
561
And someone at the door to each room to give people any handouts for the talks.
562
No problem.
563
And Lester, do you think someone can introduce each speaker as well?
564
I may need to get a few more volunteers, but that should be no problem.
565
Good.
566
They'll have to be free to stand at the podium to do that.
567
So it can't be the same person that's handing things out.
568
Right.
569
We'll work that out.
570
Thanks, Lester.
571
Page 36.
572
Exercise A.
573
Listen to each conversation, then complete the statements using the passive causative with have.
574
Listen again if necessary.
575
Conversation 1.
576
I'd like to have this dress dry cleaned.
577
Okay.
578
It'll be ready on Monday.
579
Actually, it's kind of urgent.
580
Any chance I could have it by Friday?
581
I'll see what I can do.
582
Conversation two.
583
I need to have these pants shortened.
584
Can I get them back by Wednesday?
585
I don't know.
586
We're pretty busy this week.
587
I'd really appreciate it.
588
We'll try.
589
But they might not be ready until Thursday, okay?
590
Conversation three.
591
I'd like to have a sign printed.
592
Does it take long to do?
593
Just one sign?
594
Not too long.
595
You can have it by Thursday.
596
Gee, could I have it done a little sooner?
597
I'm in a bit of a rush.
598
How about Wednesday?
599
Is that okay?
600
That would be perfect.
601
Thanks a million.
602
Conversation 4 Can you do a rush job for me? That depends.
603
What do you need to have done?
604
I just need to have this picture framed.
605
Can I have it by 4?
606
Today?
607
I'm sorry, that wouldn't be possible.
608
But I could have it for you first thing in the morning.
609
Okay, that would be great.
610
Now, about the travel documents for the Australian group.
611
We've had everything mailed to them, right?
612
Mr. Evans, we gave you the package of travel documents to give to
613
Mr. Wells the other night at dinner before he flew home to Sydney.
614
A white envelope about this big?
615
Yes.
616
I gave it to Mr. Rashid before he left for Lebanon.
617
Oh, Mr. Wells needs those documents the day after tomorrow.
618
His group is flying in on Thursday.
619
I'll call the courier.
620
If they can pick up a package by 5 p.m., we should be okay.
621
That gives us an hour.
622
I'll reprint the tour information, but what about the travel guides?
623
I can't print 25 copies that fast.
624
I'll call copies to go and have them reprint the travel guides.
625
They can't do a rush job.
626
Call Harper's instead.
627
They're faster and much more reliable.
628
Hello?
629
National Express.
630
I need to get a package to Australia ASAP.
631
If Harper's can't make the color copies that fast, we'll take black and white.
632
Bob, are you reprinting the tickets?
633
Yep.
634
Hello.
635
I need to get 25 color documents printed right away.
636
Yes, it's very much a hurry.
637
Who are you calling Mr. Evans?
638
What's that?
639
Oh, my tailor.
640
Your tailor?
641
These sleeves are too long.
642
They're driving me crazy.
643
Thank you,
644
everyone, for fixing my mistake with Mr. Wells.
645
Now, I've asked Cheryl to plan a party for his group next Friday, and I'd like for everyone to help.
646
Cheryl, do you have a plan?
647
Yes, I do.
648
Marie, I'd like to have you choose the restaurant for the party.
649
I'd love to.
650
Bob, I'll let you choose the menu.
651
You will?
652
Paul, could you plan the music?
653
Yes.
654
Good.
655
Now, Marie, I called ten restaurants and had them give us a price for a party room.
656
These two have the best prices.
657
The green room's a nice restaurant.
658
Great.
659
That's my favorite, too.
660
Now, Bob, about the food.
661
I was thinking steak and potatoes and...
662
Well, the client asked for fish or chicken.
663
So, I have the restaurant put together a menu with each.
664
Which do you like better?
665
I like chicken more than fish, I guess.
666
Great.
667
Chicken it is.
668
Now, Paul...
669
Let me guess.
670
You have a list of music choices.
671
Yes.
672
These look fine.
673
Great!
674
I think we're all done.
675
You see how easy it is to plan something when we do it all together?
676
So glad we could help.
677
Thank you.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
