Conversation 2

　　Man： Hello。 Yes?

　　Woman： Hello。 Is that the sales department?

　　M： Yes， it is。

　　W：Oh， well。 My name is Jane Kingsbury of GPF limited。 We need some supplies for our design office。

　　M： Oh， what sort?

　　W：Well， first of all， we need one complete new drawing board。

　　M： DO44 or DO45?

　　W：Ah， I don’t know。 What’s the difference?

　　M： Well， the 45 costs 15 pounds more。

　　W：So what’s the total price then?

　　M：It’s 387 pounds。

　　W：Dose that include valued-added tax?

　　M： Oh， I’m not sure。 Most of the prices do。 Yes， I think it does。

　　W：What are the boards actually made of?

　　M： Oh， I don’t know。 I think it‘s a sort of plastic stuff these days。 It’s white anyway。

　　W：And how long does it take to deliver?

　　M： Oh， I couldn’t really say。 It depends on how much work we’ve got and how many other orders there are to send out， you know。

　　W：Ok， now we also want some drawing pens， ink and rulers， and some drawing paper。

　　M： Oh dear。 The girl who takes all those supplies isn’t here this morning。 So I can’t take those orders for you。 I only do the equipment you see。

　　W：Ok， well， perhaps I’ll ring back tomorrow。

　　M： So do you want the drawing board then?

　　W：Oh， I have to think about it。 Thanks very much。 I’ll let you know。 Good-bye。

　　M： Thank you。 Good-bye。
