Read the following conversations and see how
the new words are used.
[M] Here
are the documents we need to assemble
for the meeting.
[W] You
should have asked me beforehand.
I'm too busy now.
[M] I
thought I had mentioned that I would need your help today.
[M] The
layout of this pamphlet should be simpler. It's
hard to read and it looks very unprofessional.
[W] It
is too complicated, isn't it?
[M] And
the size of the paper is wrong, too. We can't fold this
sheet into three parts.
[M] Did
you see the number of signed petitions
we've received for
more parking spaces?
[W] It's
one of our big problems at this branch. I hope management will do something
about it when they see these petitions.
[M] Many
of them arrived by express mail and some were even registered for good measure.
[M] Did
you proof the letter before you sent it?
[W] We proofed it, but we didn't send it. We decided to revise the opening paragraph.
[M] Well,
now it's too late to send it by courier.
You had better fax
it.
