TASK 1 Put the following conversation between Amanda and Tobias in order. The first has been done
for you as an example: 1b

a) A: Well, before the Christmas rush is looking tricky, then there´s the holiday period, which
takes us into January.

b) A: I can confirm that your order has been received and we´re processing it as quickly as we can.

c) A: Well, if I´m honest, delivery for December 20th doesn´t look very likely, Tobiáš.

d) A: Look, I´m sure we can work something out here. How about a discount for the inconvenience
cause?

e) A: Realistically speaking, that´s the way it´s looking.

f) A: Fine, we can work with that.



g) T: OK, so we´re agreed on 10% then. I´ll put that in an e-mail to you today.

h) T: Yes, but I really need to have an exact date of delivery of the shipment. I mean, do you have
any idea when it´s going to be?

i) T: What did you have in mind, exactly? I really don´t think we´d be happy with anything less
than 10%.

j) T: Couldn´t you be more specific, Amanda? We really need to have this model in stock again by
December 22nd.

k) T: Are you saying that you won´t be able to deliver this order until the New Year?

l) T: If that´s the case, I´d like to cancel our order, then.
