W: Hey, George, Hi Scott. We’re thinking about selling some of the new natural tiles that have been introduced to the market. Do you think our customers will like the ceramic ones?
M1: Well, I heard they’ve been sold in other locations and customers actually favor them over other types of tiles.
M2: They are supposed to be environmentally friendly and good for your health, too.
M1: But aren’t the ceramic ones are much more expensive than the regular tiles?
M2: True, but they are usually cheaper than the natural marble ones.
W: Some of our customers would like to have affordable construction materials. There is no point in bringing them in if our customers won’t like them.
M1: I’m sure the manufacturer has a wide selection of new tiles. Why don’t we take a look at its website?
W: Good idea. There should be some new ceramic tiles with a reasonable price range.
These questions are from this test. Would you like to take a practice test?

Fumiko Nakamura --- [10:50 a.m.]
Philip, I'm about to board my flight and should arrive in Boston this afternoon. How's everything going?
Philip Akkarat --- [10:55 a.m.]
OK for the most part. However, a few system errors occurred in the new computer servers we're using to update the Web site. I called a technician, and he came in this morning at about 8:00.
Fumiko Nakamura --- [10:58 A.M.]
Was he able to fix the problem?
Philip Akkarat --- [10:59 a.m.]
He said the issue was more complicated than he first thought. He had another job at 10:00 a.m., so he said he'd be back at 2:00 p.m. to finish up.
Fumiko Nakamura --- [11:02 a.m.]
Hmm, but those updates need to be done by 4:00 p.m. Why don't you ask the staff to use the old servers for now?
Philip Akkarat --- [11:03 a.m.]
All right. That will take longer, so we should probably start now in order to finish in time.
Fumiko Nakamura --- [11:05 A.M.]
Good. I'll see you in a few hours.
Gloria Arden --- [8:20 A.M] : I've been looking over everyone's progress reports on the software project. Based on what I've seen, I don't think we'll be able to meet our scheduled release date.
Isabel Cabrera--- [8:22 A.M] : You may be right about that. Since Bob and Carol moved over to the new hardware project, we've had some trouble meeting the initial deadlines.
Gordon Brickyard --- [8:26 A.M] : Couldn't we just reschedule the release? Pushing it back a month ought to give us enough time to finish up.
Joe Freemont --- [8:28 A.M]: But remember that the product is supposed to be available for the holiday season, which is our peak sales period. If we miss that deadline, we could lose many potential customers.
Gordon Brickyard --- [8:31 A.M]: My team has a lot of urgent responsibilities, so I think it would be a good idea to hire some independent contractors to help out.
Gloria Arden --- [8:32 A.M]: What are you thinking?
Gordon Brickyard --- [8:33 A.M]: Well, they could help my team finish writing the user manual, for one thing. And they could probably handle product testing as well.
Gloria Arden --- [8:35 A.M]: I see. What's your opinion, Isabel?
Isabel Cabrera --- [8:37 A.M]: It could end up being expensive, but I like the idea. Our graphic designers could certainly use some outside help, too.
Gloria Arden --- [8:40 A.M] : Well, it sounds like we should go with Gordon's idea. I'll also bring it up during the board meeting on Friday to see what they say.Barriston City Unveils New Development Project
By Wendy Ogilvy
The Barriston City Planning Commission announced plans last Thursday to begin work on a revitalization of the art district on Chestnut Avenue, Long considered the hub of Barriston's art scene, the area has fallen into disrepair. The project will involve widening the sidewalks, repaving the street, and building a park in the area. In addition, two information billboards showing maps of the district will be installed on the thoroughfare for visitors.
But the highlight of the project is a new outdoor staging area which will be located at the corner of Chestnut Avenue. Designed by local architect Theresa Vergara, the stage will be used to host musical concerts and theatrical productions, with outdoor seating for up to 500 people.
Also, a portion of the city government's budget has been allocated to the restoration of buildings along Chestnut Avenue. Inspectors will evaluate the structures to determine what work needs to be carried out.
Proprietors will not be charged, but according to city tax assessor Peter Jones, property tax levels will increase in the district by 1 percent, starting next year.
With many proprietors of local businesses in the district reporting dropping sales figures and a decline in visitors, the commission hopes the project will help draw people back to the area. Evan Sweeten, chair of the planning committee, said, "We believe that this work will help revitalize the area and bring it back to its former glory."Membership Application

Dear Ms. Norenski,
Thanks for your recent application to Fit Prime Gym. I'm so glad that you decided to follow my advice and sign up with us. As I've mentioned before, I am certain that your husband and your children will enjoy all the facilities and activities Fit Prime has to offer.
When we spoke, you said that you were interested in using the pool to swim laps. Well, I just want to let you know that the scheduled times for that activity have changed. The indoor swimming pool still opens at 8:00 a.m. every day. However, it now closes at 10:00 p.m. from Monday to Friday. On weekends, it closes at 9:15 p.m. And please remember to use only the pool's first two lanes for lap swimming.
I should mention that your daughter, Jennifer, qualifies to take part in our Student Plan. She can join this program for free while also remaining under your Family Plan program. The Student Plan comes with two introductory months of personal training sessions for new members.
Please ask her if she is interested so I can register her, if necessary.

Is franchising right for you? (continued from page 1)
As I learned when I spoke to experts at the recently held Franchise Expo in Fort Myers, franchising is not for everyone. Franchise Friendly's Sam Romanek told me, "Franchises may pose fewer risks than start-ups, but they may not be a good fit if you value total independence and control."
As for choosing the right franchise, FBA's Barbara Allred advises doing your research. "Don't just look at a company's recent performance," she said. "Find out how the overall industry is doing." For instance, she cited the promising outlook for home services and a diminishing one for personal fitness.
"Fitness clubs have boomed in recent years," she added, "but the market is now saturated."
