I welcome you all back to work after the holiday. Some of you might be wondering what is going on, as you must have noticed that this was not the same place you left. Yes, a general restructuring and refurbishment of the shop have taken place. 00:01:17,060 Here is a brief rundown through the changes. The cafe continues to operate, serving a variety of snacks and beverages. Instead of creating something new, we decided to just make some essential changes in this area. We reshuffled the furniture, changed up the color scheme, and fiddled with the menu offerings. It took quite some time, and there was even a point when we thought about closing the place down. But I'm glad that we stayed the course, and the result was well worth it. We figured that since there were few customers asking about garden tools and buying them, we should get rid of them. Our garden pots are very good containers and do not need many changes, so we decided to leave them as they were. 00:02:04,680 Last year, we had a lot of complaints about customers getting confused, not knowing what exactly they wanted or even expected whenever they came to the shop. 00:02:15,280 To eliminate this problem, we have set up a new section where we would have skilled experts in the field of floral decoration giving advice to our prospective customers. We hope this would help us achieve more conversions, and in the long term, clients would be committed and loyal to the shop. 00:02:34,200 You know our exotic plants need special care, and for this reason, only a few customers would like to buy them. It was decided that a new catalog of species that are now in high demand in the market would take the place of these floras that we used to keep because our research team suggested. 00:02:51,780 I suggest that everyone get familiar with them so that you can at least answer some questions in public. 00:03:01,160 Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions sixteen to twenty. 00:03:30,600 Now listen and answer questions sixteen to twenty. 00:03:37,120 Now, I will make a brief introduction to the interior of the refurbished shop to you. 00:03:43,080 Just a little tour, the cafe is located at the center of the shop. I mean the bigger area facing the cashier desk not far from the exit. In the cafe, you will see an oval-shaped bar surrounded by wooden stools. 00:03:58,760 We also have a fountain, which is the first area you will see in front of you after entering our shop. We used to have one at the bottom left corner, but for our customers it was not noticeable, so we built a new one and it looks great. 00:04:14,100 At the top left corner, we have a storeroom for fertilizers to help in the growth of our flowers, just beside the cashier's point, which is near the exit. They are arranged and stacked in bags. By the way, the new heads for that section would be Jack and Pete. Please ensure that this section is always clean and also try to minimize wastage during use. We keep our packaging materials to the right of the cashier area at the entrance, where you would see three shelves of the same size, and we place them on the one between the flower pots shelf and the tripods shelf. 00:04:51,780 Finally, our freezer is situated at the top right corner of the shop. We keep some plant seeds in there when necessary. 00:05:00,820 That is the end of part two. You now have half a minute ## 题目与答案 ### 11. food and beverage food and beverage - rearranged - recently introduced - unchanged - removed - replaced - temporarily closed **答案**：rearranged 原文定位：The cafe continues to operate, serving a variety of snacks and beverages.
