James Craig's business exhibition

You will hear a podcast about a large business exhibition which is held every year in London.

First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 14.

Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 14.

Hello, and welcome to this podcast telling you about our annual business exhibition.

This year, as always, it will be full of the very best speakers, features and innovations.

Let me start by reading some feedback from James Craig, who has exhibited with us for the past two years.

James says, I'm director of a company called TalkCon, which is an office phone system.

The first year we exhibited, we had a stand in the business village, where we made a lot of useful contacts.

We also used the breakout area, where people could sit down and relax and try out our products.

And, due to popular request, we used that again last year.

Last year, we also sponsored the innovative business connection zone, where people could leave their contact details on a board to contact other companies, and that also effectively raised our corporate profile.

We're hoping that in the coming exhibition, we'll also have a presence in the digital marketing centre, which is clearly a key area for our company, and also maybe have our own TalkCon zone at some stage.

The exhibitions open from 8am to 11pm, and there's a range of special events for you to enjoy in the evening, as well as a unique chance to publicise your company.

Businesses who exhibit with us can claim discounts on a number of popular brands, including major high street fashion and jewellery outlets, as well as grocery chains.

Discounts available range from 3.5% up to an amazing 15%, so you can save a lot of money.

In fact, the average saving made by each exhibitor came to over £400.

The scheme is available to every member of your organisation, so this is a benefit that really does have something for you all.

Before you hear the rest of the podcast, you have some time to look at questions 15 to 20.

Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20.

Now let me tell you about some of our keynote speakers for this year's exhibition.

Jim Clowry started off selling vegetables from a small plot, then opened a small cafe.

Rather to his surprise, this became a bit of a sensation, and in a remarkably short time, he had opened an amazing 76 restaurants worldwide.

He'll be telling you how it all happened, and how it changed his life.

David France will be giving an inspirational talk about how, as a business-minded teenager, he managed to set up his own company, and even to be the first person under 18 to get a business bank account.

David's company has gone from strength to strength, but he isn't just interested in making money.

He also makes regular donations to organisations, helping those in need, both in the UK and elsewhere in the world.

Oliver Stanton was born and educated in the UK, and then went to Malaysia, where he set up a rubberwood furniture business.

He then built log houses in the mountains in Japan, before moving to Hong Kong to set up a digital marketing business.

After that, he moved back to the UK with his wife Sai Pin, and together they opened a Thai cafe.

He'll be telling you about what he discovered during his travels around the world, about business practices in different cultures.

Francesca Heptonstall is a broadcaster and businesswoman who is known for her down-to-earth attitude.

After winning a top job at a TV contest, she launched a number of online deal sites.

Her main business interest is in technology, but she's also passionate about helping people gain employment, and organises an annual jobs fair, so she'll be concentrating on this in her talk.

Salman Khan is the chief executive of QBF Enterprises, and has turned around this business from a major publishing business to one of the UK's largest digital marketing service providers.

He'll be talking about the need for flexibility to cope with new directions in today's business world.

Finally, Annie Craven is a consultant and coach who works with people to create lasting changes in their business and life.

Her session will offer an interactive look at different obstacles in people's own lives, not just in business.

She also looks at how you can overcome them, whether you're starting out in business or at the top of your game.

That is the end of part two.

You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part two.

🔥 Answer key (đáp án và giải thích)

Giải thích chi tiết

❓ Câu hỏi: Which TWO areas of the business exhibition did James Craig promote his company last year?

✅ Đáp án đúng: C. the Breakout area E. the Business Connections Zone

▶️ Bắt đầu nghe ở: Đoạn người nói bắt đầu đọc phản hồi của James Craig về những lần công ty tham gia triển lãm, thường có tín hiệu như “James says…” hoặc “The first year we exhibited…”.

☺️ Giải thích đáp án:

Trước khi nghe, hãy gạch chân các từ khóa last year, promote his company, và TWO areas. Đây là dấu hiệu cho thấy bạn cần nghe đúng thời điểm năm ngoái, không phải tất cả các khu vực được nhắc đến.
Người nói trước tiên nhắc đến the business village, nhưng lại nói “The first year we exhibited”. Điều này cho biết đây là năm đầu tiên, không phải last year, nên chưa chọn.
Sau đó, người nói nói về the breakout area và tiếp tục thêm “due to popular request, we used that again last year”. Cụm used that again last year xác nhận Breakout area là một khu vực James dùng để quảng bá công ty vào năm ngoái.
Tiếp theo, người nói nói rõ “Last year, we also sponsored the innovative business connection zone”. Từ khóa Last year xuất hiện trực tiếp, nên Business Connections Zone chắc chắn là đáp án đúng còn lại.
Vậy hai khu vực James quảng bá công ty vào last year là the Breakout area và the Business Connections Zone.

🧐 Lưu ý: ❌ A. the Digital Marketing Centre => Đây chỉ là khu vực công ty đang hy vọng sẽ có mặt trong kỳ triển lãm sắp tới, không phải last year. ❌ B. the TalkCon Zone => Người nói dùng cụm “maybe have our own TalkCon zone at some stage”, nghĩa là ý tưởng trong tương lai, chưa xảy ra. ❌ D. the Business Village => Dễ nhầm vì đây là nơi công ty từng quảng bá, nhưng đó là the first year, không phải last year.
