Dialogue A

（A： Mr. Hart， the manager； B： Miss Janet； R： reporters）

A： Janet， I need you to arrange a news conference for tomorrow at 2： 30 p. m. to introduce our latest product.

B： OK， Mr. Hart. I'll call my contacts at the papers， magazines， radio and TV stations and inform them of the conference.

A： Very well， be sure to give them enough information to make them curious. But do not disclose the specifics of the project.

B： Of course， we want to leave some room for speculation.

A： Yes， our new product has been kept secret for a long period of time.

B： OK， Mr. Hayt， those product samples are ready to make their media debut.

A： Great， is the stage set up like I asked？

B： Yes， and the seating arrangement is in order.

A： I think we are ready.

Dialogue B

A： Ladies and Gentlemen， first of all， I just want to thank you for coming today. We have an exciting new product to tell you about…（the voice for introducing the product）

R： Mr. Hart's doing a great job of giving the media plenty of information.

A： Now that I've told you all about our exciting new project， I'll open the floor to answer any questions you might have.

R： Mr. Hart， what makes your new product stand out above the other products in its market？

A： I'm glad you asked that. For one thing， our product was developed by the nation's leading scientists and has been tested for more than two years.

R： Mr. Hart， I was told that one of your customers had got a strange illness after using your product. Is that true？

A： Absolutely not. That is a vicious rumor and I will not answer that question. It is not relevant.

R： Mr. Hart， I have some more questions for you.

A： Ms. Jones， I am afraid I can only answer one more question. Go ahead.
