#Person1#: I enjoy going through secondhand bookstores, don't you? It's interesting to see what people used to enjoy reading. Did you see this old book of children's stories?
#Person2#: Some of these books aren't so old, though. See? This novel was published only six years ago. It costs seventy-five cents.
#Person1#: Hey! Look at this!
#Person2#: What? Are you getting interested in nineteenth-century plays all of a sudden?
#Person1#: Well, look at the words. Someone gave this book as a present, and wrote a note on the inside of the front cover. It's dated 1893. Maybe it's worth something.
#Person2#: Everything on that shelf is worth fifty cents.
#Person1#: But if this is the signature of someone who is well-known, it might bring a lot more. I hear William Shakespeare's signature is worth about a million dollars.
#Person2#: Oh? I can hardly read what that one says. Who wrote it?
#Person1#: The name looks like 'Harold Dickson'. Wasn't he a politician or something? I'm going to buy this book and see if I can find a name looks like that in the library.

#Person2#: Well, the dorm's too noisy to study in, and I guess this place is too quiet.
#Person1#: Have you had any luck finding a topic for your paper?
#Person2#: No. Prof. Grant told us to write about anything in cultural anthropology. For once I wish she hadn't given us so much of a choice.
#Person1#: Well, why not write about the ancient civilizations of Mexico. You seem to be interested in that part of the world.
#Person2#: I am, but there is too much material to cover. I'll be writing forever, and Grant only wants five to seven pages.
#Person1#: So they limit it to one region of Mexico. Say the Yucatan. You'Ve been there and you said it's got lots of interesting relics.

#Person1#: What characteristics should an interpreter own?
#Person2#: I think he should be an expert of everything.
#Person1#: Why is that?

Kate: Hello Jamie, We just talked about you and Bill prompts me to ask about your accommodation in Mexico. Any bad experiences so far?
Jamie: Hi Kate, as a matter of fact no bad experiences at all but it's been only four places so far. Two small hotels (one excellent, one rather disappointing but nothing exceptionally worth noting) and two airbnb flats: both rather unclean but positive in other aspects, all within the average. Why would you be interested?
Kate: Your well-being of course! :))
Kate: We had 'bad' guests stay last night, but it should be expected since it was New Year.
Jamie: A mad party?
Kate: I was woken at 2 am, then up at 3 am to tell them to be quiet.
Jamie: Sorry to hear about such a nasty behaviour. They should have known better, at the latest when entering Ballito Estate. Hope no damage?
Kate: No damage... Just too many folk in the room.
Kate: And a missing towel.
Jamie: Did they calm down after your protesting?
Kate: They did. But maybe I shouldn't have complained at all, should I? They are our bread and butter.
Jamie: I think no partying can excuse keeping people awake at night! Not even New Year is an excuse, especially in such places as your estate.
Kate: Bill was furious at them but too lazy to get up and talk them off. I don't think I'd have tried to cope with the noise on my own though.
Jamie: Good that you are paid in advance. One of our hosts told us a story of a wild party in his rented apartment that he tried to put an end to, but the people in it got aggressive towards him. Before he was able to call the police, they were gone without paying and leaving a total mess behind them.
Kate: So I can say we were lucky. Where was it?
Jamie: Cienfuegos, Cuba. I don't think he mentioned the nationality of the troublemakers.
Kate: Enough about bad experiences. We wish you only the best ones.
Jamie: And the same to you!! | Kate asks Jamie about his accommodation in Mexico on Bill's request. He was in 2 hotels and 2 Aribnb flats and the experience is generally positive. Kate had noisy guests last night. It was New Year. She told them off. |

king: I see. This is a grave matter indeed. My lineage must be strong, you know. It simply will not do to have my son sire a child with one of ignoble birth. Then again, my son's happiness is perhaps as important. Does my son reciprocate this love?
servant: Yes he does your highness

bishop: Still, you know as well as I that you must confess them in order to continue to serve. In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti.
priest: I have spend too much time in the company of liars and the wealthy class and have neglected my duty to the poor. It shames me now to look upon the painting of Christ, knowing that I have not done enough for the smallest of his flock.
bishop: And the Lord forgives you your trespasses. Quo peregrinatur grex, pastor secum.
priest: Thank you. Sir, why has the Cardinal blessed us with his presence?
bishop: Apparently we are to be summoned to visit the Holy See! Thanks be to God! Glory to the Lord of Hosts!
priest: Glory to God! I am but a lowly priest. Am I worthy of such an honor?
bishop: Indeed, the Holy Father wishes to dispense to you a blessing and give you a relic of Saint Dwyfed to return to your parish.

Industrial Designer: S to do now is to decide how to fulfil what your stuff is so it does kind of make sense
Marketing: It kind of does make sense does not it because when we get into the end of meeting we are kind of talking about action and design as opposed to background Everything I have is kind of background
Project Manager: we all ready to go ? Well how on the in this meeting then if we I will just just recap on the minutes from the last meeting And we decided on decided on our our target group being fifteen to thirty five and we decided that it was going to be nonrechargeable batterypowered that we are going to group our audiovisual and other functions into into those categories And I told you guys about the three new requirements about ignoring teletext ignoring everything except the TV and trying to incorporate the the corporate colour and slogan so that was the last meeting Is there anything have I forgotten anything ? so if we have the three presentations and then if you have anything to kind of that you know you are going to want to discuss maybe just make a note of it and we will have all the discussion at the end That might be a better idea this time And so if we start off with Andrew and then Craig and then David and then after that we will have to make some decisions about stuff right So if you want to take this
Marketing: Why do not I get that ?
Project Manager: Screwed in quite tightly what did how did we leave it with speech recognition now ? We did we say we were going to try maybe incorporate it but we had not made a definite decision on that ? Right Oh I should also point out that the you know the kind of final objective of this meeting is to reach a decision on the concepts of the product So that is kind of the end result hopefully
Marketing: alright so c is it function F eight ?
Project Manager: Uhhuh Hopefully appear in a wee second
Marketing: Come on I think it is working great s so let me just start this great So s move on Uhhuh oh where did it all go ? It is not good let me just see where I can find it This looks more like it I think I just opened up the template Sorry about that alright so let us have a look here so this was the method that I have taken basically what I want to do here before we get into it too far is I want to show you all the background information I have that I think we need to acknowledge if we want this to be successful And and then sorta g go through some of the way that I have dealt with that information and then sort of bring us all together into it to see sorta see how this fits in with the overall vision so I have tried to take a whole lot of market research and summarise it for us and then ide identify trends that are are sort of in sync and are important to our our p project plan that we have so far and then initiate a kind of discussion on design options so that it sorta helps us to to narrow in on on aspects that will inform other other elements of the of the project Does that make sense tha that sort of strategy ? I thought that that will impact on the rest of what we do so that is why I suggested we get in this
Project Manager: Aye a fair point definitely
Marketing: so out of different figures and ratings ob of people in general consumers in general the number one thing that was found was that the br t television remote control a fancy look and feel and not it specified not a functional look or or feel b f f fancy however this is where we kind of have to be very I think creative about it Number two was that it be innovative so that tells me that we have to find a way to be innovative without a adding just unnecessary sort of functional bits to it and third priority for ease of use so again that kind of gives us a general picture of how it has to be quite user friendly while still having technology So it I will just say right away as a bit of a foreshadowing into how we proceed with this in terms of m marketing is that I think what we should think about is how the about how the innovation contributes to the look and feel and not so much to the functionality of it For example like when you pick it up and push it like it all lights up or something you know what I mean like or it is got something else to it that just seems innovative because obviously the thing that the message here is ease of use So how do you make innovation make something more more easy to use ? Well that is I guess where we are going to go with this then there is the other aspect of the back the the market research I have here is on fashion style which as we have agreed is a priority top European fashion trend that I read about says there is this emerging theme of fruit and vegetables especially in clothes and furniture And when I first saw that I thought well do we want to actually try and think about this trend and how we add something to it or we get right into it or we completely steer away from it do you know what I mean ? So my my feeling is that we w do want to observe this trend but we want to think also about the fact that it sort of has to fit in with something which is not specifically electronics because I think what we are in what we are in is partly sort of home decor partly something like a computer so I think we might want to be careful about how you know how quickly we create like a remote control in the shape of an apple or something I think that would be pushing it And then in terms of m material trends are for things to be soft and spongy and sort of you might say ergonomic or or friendly to handle which is which also in indicated that last year this was this was not the case So probably a lot of the competition on the market will be still in last years mode so if we try and really capitalise on that I think that will be in our favour So these this is the summary of everything style is number one thing in the in the market of who we are selling to innovative design technologys also a must in that it is seen it would be seen to be cutting edge but ease of use t has to be insured throughout That was like the number three thing And then at the end there are vibrant natural colours that is the way I interpreted it anyway softness in materials shape and function and so I have written at written at the bottom to give us sort of a context of discussion Mac iPods something which is I would have to say very hightech ten gigabytes whatever but when you hold it in your hand there is like no buttons You know what a Mac iPod is ? I am thinking however Mac iPod is sort of last years because it is very hard and sort of glassy and glossy so I am thinking if we imagine that we are taking some of the features of a Mac iPod and we are then making it s more of like a more of like a comfortable type of or more of like a maybe more vibrant to friendly thing to have and then so this is w with all that information what I am what I am suggesting in this slide here is that we we take these ideas and as we get into more the more techni like sort of production side of things that we think about shape materials and themes or series that go throughout Sort of like a I do not know like we think of some kind of a thin theme that unifies it all that we agree on sorta like a marketing identity Does that make sense ? So so like I threw out a few ideas there just to kind of get us thinking along those lines like lemon lime I do not know green colours pe whatever it is just an idea because I am thinking that some of these ideas will seem quite coherent if we use them in terms of their what people associate this them with in terms of texture shape colours things like that Like the ones the ones which I am most fond of in terms of giving like a theme to it would be like like lemon or something like that you know something which is like you see a lot in in other areas Like I see lots of websites and things that seem to associate with like lemon and lime and So anyway it is just just an idea I am thinking maybe we could incorporate some of these features into a fairly into something which is which seems to have something to it which is almost gimmicky because like like something to do with like lighting within it Like you know just within the simple sense when you pick up a phone and touch a button it lights up q usually the buttons light up How can we build on that ? Maybe like it could light up in different colours or something or or people could buy the buy the control and then it comes with different like covers or something so Anyway those are that is all I have but hopefully we can we can revisit those ideas when we get into | Marketing presented on market trends and suggested strategies including innovation in a fancy look and feel of the remote control, the European fashion theme in fruit and vegetable shapes as well as a soft and spongy material trend. |

#Person1#: Well, Yuri, tell me about it.
#Person2#: I'm sorry I can't bring better news, sir. The site is a disaster.
#Person1#: That's what I was afraid of.
#Person2#: It is not only the earthquake, sir. But the mudslides. Much of the north half of the site has been covered over by mud.
#Person1#: Mud? But Ivan told me there were no mudslides in that district. I thought all the mudslides were down in Chichitango.
#Person2#: That's what we thought, sir. That's what the news reported. But there was one little mudslide in our district too. Right above our site.
#Person1#: Oh, that's terrible! What bad luck! I wish we had never come to this country. But, if it isn't the strikes and the revolutionaries, it's the earthquakes. Our operations here are finished!

#Person1#: Are you serious? Fighting? But I didn't hear anything on the news.
#Person2#: You know the government controls the press here, sir. They don't want it reported.
#Person1#: Oh, this is terrible, Yuri. Terrible! So we can't even assess the damages. How can we do business in this country? Either we're buried under mud, or we're in danger of getting kidnapped. No, I can't believe this mess!
#Person2#: I'm sorry, sir.
#Person1#: You don't have to keep saying that, Yuri. It's not your fault. But me--I'm the one who should be sorry. It was me who suggested operations here in the first place!

butler: Isn't that against the rules that you teach?
