P: Good morning! Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Paola Iannucci.

C: How do you do? My name’s Colin Burke.

P: It’s a pleasure to meet you, Colin. I see you work for an advertising agency.

C: Yes, erm…  Paola. I’m the arts director at Arrow Agency. I mostly work on web adverts.

P: Do you? That sounds interesting.

C: It is. We’re developing some really new ways of advertising. Do you use the Internet much in your work?

P: I do, actually, Colin. I’m in sales.

C: Oh, are you?

P: Yes, I work for an electronics company. We’re starting to sell online.

C: Really? Well, Paola, why don’t I give you my card? Here you are.

P: Thanks. It’s been good talking to you. Let’s stay in touch.

Y: I’m very pleased to meet you. I’m Yuvraj Singh. I work for Get fit--it’s a chain of gyms.

L: Oh yes, my brother goes to Get fit.

Y: Does he? Great. We’re building a big new gym in the town centre here. It’s nearly ready to open, in fact.

L: Is it? That’s great.

Y: Yes, we’re all really excited about it. Erm, what about you?

L: I’m looking for a new job at the moment, actually.

Y: OK, well, thanks for your time. Let me give you my card. Don’t forget to check out our new gym when it opens.
