Mock test 2 · listening part 4

Part 2. You will hear a conversation between two colleagues about a business trip.

So, Paul, are you ready for Toronto?

Almost. It's my first time there, so I'm a bit nervous. You've been there many times, haven't you?

Five or six times. When's the meeting with the clients?

Wednesday at ten. I'm flying on Tuesday. The flight leaves at four in the afternoon, so I'll get there in the evening.

Good. Where are you staying?

The company booked the King Street Hotel, downtown. Close to the clients' office.

Oh, I know it. There's a great little Italian place just around the corner. Try the pasta. You won't regret it.

Thanks for the tip. One more thing: my laptop has been really slow lately.

Just take the company laptop. It's in the cupboard in my office. Nobody's using it this week.

Great. And the presentation?

I put it on the shared drive this morning. You'll find it in the Toronto folder.

Okay. Honestly, the presentation is what worries me most. My English is fine, but presenting to six people I don't know...

You'll be fine. Practice it twice tonight and you'll know it by heart.
