Good morning, it's Graham from Human Resources.

Unfortunately, I've left today's interview schedule at home.

Could you help me with a few details?

Firstly, when is the first interview, and which room are we in?

Of course. The first interview is scheduled for nine fifteen.

It'll take place in Conference Room Three, on the fourth floor.

Right. I believe Ms. Patel is coming in at eleven.

That's for the accountant position, isn't it?

Actually, I'm afraid there's been a change to the schedule.

Ms. Patel's interview has been moved to two o'clock this afternoon.

She called yesterday to say her train had been cancelled.

I see. Could you go through the afternoon for me?

Certainly! According to the schedule, there are three interviews this afternoon.

At one o'clock, you'll meet David Chen, who's applying to be sales manager.

That's followed by Ms. Patel at two, for the accountant role.

Finally, at three thirty, Laura Evans is interviewing for the marketing assistant job.

Each interview should last about forty-five minutes.

Perfect, that's very helpful. Thank you!

Practice set two.

Hi, it's Mark. I'm at the airport, and my battery's almost dead!

Could you quickly check my plans for the Chicago trip?

When does my flight land, and where am I staying?

Sure! Your flight is scheduled to land at a quarter to five.

You're staying at the Lakeshore Grand Hotel, right downtown.

Great. And my meeting with Norton Foods is tomorrow morning, isn't it?

Actually, I'm afraid that meeting has been moved to Thursday.

Their director is away tomorrow, so it's now at ten on Thursday.

So tomorrow morning is free, and you can rest after your flight.

Oh, good! So what else have I got tomorrow?

Tomorrow afternoon, you have two appointments.

At two o'clock, you're meeting the sales team at our Chicago office.

That's followed by your product presentation at four.

And to finish the day, there's a client dinner at seven thirty!

Excellent. You're a lifesaver, thanks!
