Now, as you all know, we'll be moving into our new office building next month, and I need to give you some information about the move. 00:00:22,060 When our graphic design company was established with just the two of us ten years ago, this space was ideal and the rent is very reasonable, but we've just outgrown the space since we took on six new staff last year. So we've decided to cut short our lease. 00:00:39,880 I'm sure you're going to like the new office. We thought long and hard about the location and will be relocating to the industrial estate, which is also where all our materials are printed. That will mean we can save on transport costs, and we should be able to pass these savings on to our customers. That way, we can keep our prices competitive as well. 00:01:02,180 Now, it's important that you're all aware of your responsibilities so that the move goes smoothly. 00:01:08,450 We don't require you to pack your things yourselves. The movers will take care of all of that. 00:01:14,780 I know some of you are wondering what we're going to do about all the office furniture. The new office will be completely fitted out, so we don't need any of this. 00:01:24,140 What we've decided to do is offer it all for sale at very reasonable prices. So if you or anyone on the staff knows someone who wants a chair or filing cabinet, please let them know. 00:01:37,640 Those of you who previously stored files in your own offices are going to be sharing an open plan office. 00:01:44,480 So this is going to require some adjustments in how we work. 00:01:48,840 Over the next few weeks, I'd like you to go through your files and get rid of outdated and unnecessary paperwork. There's no need to keep copies of anything. 00:01:59,780 Remember, things you're currently working on should stay in the office due to our privacy laws. 00:02:06,200 Now, the day of the move itself will be a Saturday when we are closed for business. Thank you to those who have offered to come in on that day to assist, but we'd rather you didn't. We'll leave it all to the professionals. 00:02:20,100 So just go directly to the new building on the Monday, and by then, hopefully, all the hard work will have been done. 00:02:34,260 Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions sixteen to twenty. 00:02:45,140 Now listen and answer questions sixteen to twenty. 00:03:11,660 Now, if you take a look at the plan, I'll show you the layout of our new office. Can you all see the lifts at the bottom of the plan? Now, as you come out of the lifts, you'll see the reception is on the other side of the corridor. As you can see, it's quite a large space, so there will be ample room for the receptionist desk straight in front of you, a waiting area for our clients on the left, and a display area over to the right. 00:03:38,440 Now, to reach your desk, you'll need to walk through the reception to the open plan area at the back of the office suite. 00:03:46,280 You'll see some desks there drawn on the plan. For the sales staff, we've asked the builders to put in a partition between your area and the rest of the staff. We're aware that you're on the phone a lot talking to clients, and you'll need some privacy. 00:04:01,080 So that's your area in the top left corner. 00:04:04,580 Now, if you look at the very top of the plan, opposite the doorway, you'll see the designers' desks. We didn't want to put you too close to the entrance. Those desks to the right of the entrance to the open plan area will be for temporary staff. Okay, let's see now. What else do I need to point out? Oh, yes. Now I know some of you are concerned about noise problems in the open plan area, so I want to reassure you that we have made allowances for that and there will be a conference room that you can reserve for meetings. 00:04:37,580 That's it just behind reception on the right. And we're also going to have our own lunch room, which is a big improvement on our current facilities. It's outside the office and you can see it at the bottom of your plan on the right. So no more eating at your desks, which is great news. Now, are there any questions or comments? 00:05:00,940 That is the end of part two. You now have thirty seconds to check your answers to part two. ## 题目与答案 ### 11. 11 What is the reason for the move? 11 What is the reason for the move? - The lease has ended. - The rent has increased. - The company has expanded. **答案**：The company has expanded. 原文定位：but we've just outgrown the space since we took on six new staff last year 同义替换：「expanded」↔「outgrown」 ### 12. 12 The new office building is located close to the company's 12 The new office building is located close to the company's - printers - competitors - clients **答案**：printers 原文定位：We thought long and hard about the location and will be relocating to the industrial estate, which is also where all our materials are printed ### 13. 13 The current office furniture will be 13 The current office furniture will be - moved to the new office - sold to the public - given away to staff **答案**：sold to the public 原文定位：What we've decided to do is offer it all for sale at very reasonable prices 同义替换：「sold to the public」↔「offer it all for sale」 ### 14. 14 What does the speaker tell the staff to do in the next few weeks? 14 What does the speaker tell the staff to do in the next few weeks? - throw out old files - make copies of important documents - lake home current work **答案**：throw out old files 原文定位：Over the next few weeks, I'd like you to go through your files and get rid of outdated and unnecessary paperwork 同义替换：「throw out old files」↔「get rid of outdated and unnecessary paperwork」 ### 15. 15 On the day of the move, workers should 15 On the day of the move, workers should - stay at home - help the movers - go to the new office **答案**：go to the new office 原文定位：So just go directly to the new building on the Monday 同义替换：「go to the new office」↔「go directly to the new building」 ### 16.
