Read the following conversations and see how
the new words are used.
[M] What do you think about the plans for the
new office lobby?
[W] I've spent
a lot of time scrutinizing them and
I'm quite pleased.
[M] I hope they're more conducive to conversation than is our current lobby.
[M] It was so inconsiderate of the marketing department to have a party
in the middle of the afternoon.
[W] Unfortunately,
your meeting was the one most hampered
by the noise.
[M] I was glad their director told them that
they were too disruptive and had to stop.
[M] How
is the collaboration between the shipping and production
departments progressing?
[W]
There were some initial difficulties, but overall both departments have been
very open to working more closely together.
[M]
They really have concentrated
on setting and
reaching their goals.
[M]
Whoever opts for that office will be responsible for the
cleaning crew.
[W]
Is that the reward for moving
up?
[M]
No, but that person will be adjacent
to all the
supplies and the time clocks.
