Woman: Morning, this is TGC!

Man: Good morning, Walter Barry here, calling from London. Could I speak to Mr. Grand, please?

Woman: Who’s calling, please?

Man: Walter Barry, from London.

Woman: What is it about, please?

Man: Well, I understand that your company has a chemical processing plant. My own company LCP, Liquid Control Products, is a leader in safety from leaks in the field of chemical processing. I’d like to speak to Mr. Grand to discuss ways in which we could help TGC to protect itself from such problems and save money at the same time.

Woman: Yes, I see. Well, Mr. Grand is not available just now.

Man: Can you tell me when I could reach him?

Woman: He’s very busy for the next few days. Then he’ll be away in New York. So it’s difficult to give you a time.

Man: Could I speak to someone else, perhaps?

Woman: Who, in particular?

Man: A colleague, for example?

Woman: You are speaking to his personal assistance. I can deal with calls for Mr. Grand.

Man: Yes, well, could I ring him tomorrow?

Woman: No, I’m sorry, he won’t be free tomorrow. Listen, let me suggest something. You send us details of your products and services, together with references from other companies. And then we’ll contact you.

Man: Yes, that’s very kind of you. I have your address.

Woman: Very good, Mr…?

Man: Barry. Walter Barry, from LCP in London.

Woman: Right, Mr. Barry. We look forward to hearing from you.

Man: Thank you, goodbye.

Man: Miss Yamada, did you ever think that you would find yourself living and working in the western world?

Woman: No, not really, although I’ve always listened to recordings of great orchestras from Europe.

Man: So you enjoyed classical music even when you were very young?

Woman: Oh, yes. I was an only child.

Man: You were born in 1955, is that right?

Woman: Yes, I began violin lessons at school when I was 6.

Man: As young as that, did you like it?

Woman: Oh, yes, very much.

Man: When did you first play on your own? I mean, when did you give your first performance?

Woman: I think I was 8…? No, Nine. I just had my birthday a week before, and my father had bought me a new violin. I played a small piece at the school concert.

Man: Did you know then that you would become a professional violinist?

Woman: Yes, I think so. I enjoy playing the violin very much, and I didn’t mind practicing, sometimes three or four hours a day.

Man: And when did you first come to Europe?

Woman: I was very lucky. When I was fifteen, I won a scholarship to a college in Paris. That was for a three-year course.

Man: How did your parents feel about that?

Woman: I think they were pleased and worried at the same time. It was the chance of a lifetime. But of course I would be thousands of miles from home. Anyway, I studied in Paris for three years and then went back to Tokyo.
