　　Dialogue A

　　（Mr. Green， the sales manager， can't find a memorandum in his office， so he is asking his secretary Miss Liu about it. ）

　　A： Where is that memorandum？

　　B： Which memorandum are you talking about？

　　A： The one from the executive⁴ vice⁵ president's office.

　　B： I didn't see it. When did it come in？

　　A： Yesterday afternoon， just before five o'clock. I just glanced at it and then put it down.

　　B： Where did you put it？

　　A： On my desk， I think， but it isn't there now.

　　B： Did you look through all the other papers on your desk？

　　A： I've looked everywhere.

　　B： What's the subject of the memorandum？

　　A： It's about the changes in the accounting procedures.

　　B： That sounds important. What kind of changes are they？

　　A： Well， that's the trouble. I can't remember exactly. I didn't read the memorandum very carefully.

　　B： Who else got a copy of it？

　　A： I don't know that either.

　　B： Maybe Salley and Mrs. Green got copies. I'll ask them.

　　A： Good. But where are they now？

　　B： They're both in the office. I'll ask them right away.

　　Dialogue B

　　（A： Miss Liang， a junior secretary； B： Miss Zhong， a senior sec retary）

　　B： No， not necessary. Usually we have a set form which is printed. We just fill in the printed forms and send it to the person or the offices concerned in the company.
