Conversation One
W: Well, it’s the South Theater Company.They want to know if we’d be interested in sponsoring a tour they want to maketo East Asia.
M: East Asia? uhh… and how much are theyhoping to get from us?
W: Well, the letter mentions 20,000 pounds,but I don’t know if they might settle for us.
M: Do they say what they would cover? Havethey anything specific in mind?
W: No, I think they are just asking all thefirms in tongue for as much money as they think they’ll give.
M: And we are worth 20, 000 pounds, right?
W: It seems so.
M: Very flattering. But I am not awfullyhappy with the idea. What we get out of it?
W: Oh, good publicity I suppose. So what Isuggest is not that we just give them a sum of money, but that we offer to payfor something specific like travel or something, and that in return, we ask forour name to be printed prominently in the program, and that they give us freeadvertising space in it.
M: But the travel bill would be enormous,and we could never manage that.
W: I know. But why don’t we offer to payfor the printing of the programs ourselves on condition that on the front coverthere's something like This program is presented with the compliments ofNorland Electronics, and free advertising of course.
M: Good idea. Well, let’s get back to themand ask what the program they want will cost. Then we can see if we areinterested or not.

Conversation Two
W: Rock stars now face a new hazard ---voice abuse. After last week's announcement that Phil Collins might give uptouring because live concerts are ruining his voice, doctors are counselingstars about the dos and don'ts of voice care. Here in the studio today, we haveMr. Paul Phillips, an expert from the High Field Hospital. Paul, what advicewould you give to singers facing voice problems?
M: If pop singers have got voice problems,they really need to be more selective about where they work. They shouldn'twork in smoky atmospheres. They also need to think about resting their voicesafter a show. Something else they need to be careful about is medicines.Aspirin, for example, singers should avoid aspirin. It thins the blood. And ifa singer coughs, this can result in the bruising of the vocal cords.
W: And is it true that some singers usedrugs before concerts to boost their voices when they have voice problems?
M: Yes, this does happen on occasion. Theyare easily-available on the continent and they are useful if a singer hasproblems with his vocal cords and has to sing that night. But if they are takenregularly, they cause a thinning of the voice muscle. Most pop singers sufferfrom three things: lack of training, overuse and abuse of the voice, especiallywhen they are young. They have difficult lives. When they go on tour, they do avast number of concerts, singing in smoky places.
W: So, what would you advise the singers todo?
M: Warm you voice up before a show and warmit down after.
