W:Hello. Happy Time Catering Services. Victoria's speaking.How can I help you?
M:Hello, Victoria. This is Joe Smith from Country Holidays.I wonder if you could do some catering for us next week. We're having a small reception. It's to launch our summer holiday advertising campaign. Would you be free?
W:When exactly is it, Mr. Smith?
M:April 21st.That's Thursday. Oh, sorry,no. It should be Friday.
W:Oh,yes,I can do that. Where will you be holding it?
M:We thought we'd have it at head office and use the conference room because there is enough room for everyone there.
W:OK. What sort of things would you like?
M:Just a light lunch, I think, so that people can eat while they move around and talk to each other. You did something similar for us last year. We'd be happy to have the same menu again.
W:Right. I'll look at my diary and see what you had last time. Oh, I nearly forgot to ask you. How many should I cater for?
M:Well, 1 think most people will be able to come, perhaps around 30. No, let's say 35 to be sure. W: Right. Thank you for getting in touch, Mr. Smith. I'll send you confirmation of the arrangements by the end of this week.
M:OK.
