汉娜： 好的，我需要准备一些办公用具，你知道的，有订书机，剪刀，文件夹。我要跟谁要这些？
露丝： 找朱丽去，我们的前台。她知道这些东西都在哪里。你也需要一个日历放到你的桌上。让她给你一个。
汉娜： 谢谢，我还需要复印一些东西。
露丝： 复印机就在我座位的旁边，来吧，我带你去。
汉娜： 你喜欢在办公室工作吗？
露丝： 是的，这里的同事都很友好。有些时候我也想在户外工作，特别是夏天。
汉娜： 一会儿开会我们要讨论什么？
露丝： 我们告诉彼此拥有的客户和潜在客户，然后领导就会根据能力分配客户。同时也是获得好的建议的机会，如果你有任何意见都要说出来。
汉娜： 我要准备多少套文具？谁会来参加？
露丝： 可能有20多个吧，会计师露露，秘书妮娜，系统分析员皮特，速记员米妮和全部的销售人员。
