问题 How to approach Listening Test Part Two
• This part is in two sections. In each section you listen to five short monologues, spoken by five different speakers. You will hear the first section twice, and then the second section twice.
• For each monologue you must choose one out of eight options.
• First read the task carefully, and make sure that you know what you need to decide.
• Listen for the overall meaning of each monologue. Do not choose an answer just because you hear the same words in the recording as in the question.
• Decide on your final answer only after you have listened for the second time.
• Check that you have not used the same option more than once.
Section One
• You will hear five speakers talking about their work.
• For each recording, decide what the speaker is trying to achieve.
• Write one letter (A - H) next to the number of the recording.
• Do not use any letter more than once.
• You will hear the five recordings twice.
A  to speed up project completion times
B  to cut expenditure on temporary staff
C  to rationalise the system of record-keeping
D  to combine functions across departments
E  to save time spent in meetings
F  to co-ordinate projects on different sites
G  to streamline the recruitment process
H  to reduce differences among targets
  
It’s a cliche, isn’t it: ’our biggest asset is our people’? But if it’s true, we’re in real trouble here. Staff turnover’s alarmingly high, with far too many people going off to talk to recruitment agencies. It’s the same across the board, in every department. And it’s costing a fortune in paying short-term people to fill the gaps. I want to increase levels of satisfaction in order to increase retention and stop wasting money.
I hope we can manage to get things running better here. It’s very frustrating, seeing so much inefficiency, and knowing what that’s costing us. I really want to get everything better before we expand into the new premises. The problem lies in the way responsibilities are distributed among the various section heads, with each one separately doing their own accounts and payroll. I’d prefer to see that all handled centrally, done in a unified way.
