III. Cloze Test

A.

Ted: I believe all of you __1__ the price list. Any suggestion?

Martin: From the viewpoint of finance, it is the first time for our company __2__ this exhibition, so I think the standard booth A1 would be enough for us to test the temperature. After all, it will cost us around 4,000 dollars.

Ted: Ok, __3__ you Yvonne? Are you in favor of Martin’s opinion?

Yvonne: To be honest, I believe B1 is ___4____ for us, because there will be many clients attending this fair. It’s a good opportunity to extend our sales region. Besides, a 3 by 3 dimension is really too small. I don’t even know where I should put our brochures and catalogs.

Ted: I feel the same way, too. I heard that Brambo is going to join this exhibition as well. It’s our __5__ rival, isn’t it?

Yvonne: Yes, and I think they will invest lots of money in this show for the launch of their latest product. So let’s not waste this chance.

Ted: Martin, can we increase our budget __6__ 10,000 dollars? That way we can have a B1 booth plus some decoration.

Martin: Don’t you think ten grand is __7__ over for a business fair? But if you insist, I can try to squeeze another 6,000 dollars from the advertisement budget. You’d better consider the consequences of doing that.

Ted: Don’t worry, Martin. I think it will pay for itself many times over __8__ we can hold a successful presentation to win more customers.

Martin: I’m not worried. You know I always have faith in you.
