场景：公司采购部办公室   人物：Anna、Ronnie 

Anna : Ronnie. Are you ready with the list for monthly purchase .You know, the information will be reported at the monthly purchasing meeting?

Ronnie: Yes, I have done.

Ronnie: Anna, here’s the list.

Anna: That’s good. Let’s go over it.

Ronnie: OK, Anna, the first line on the list is item 8021 and it’s the Silver Plated Tableware.

Anna : Right. Is it 12 pieces a set? 

Ronnie: Yes, it is. And it is $32.99 a set. 

Anna : I see. How’s the packing?

Ronnie: Well, they come in a case of four cartons.

Anna : All right. What’s the quantity of order?

Ronnie: 500 cases, as usual.

Anna : OK. How about the tea-set?

Ronnie: Um, tea-set… Which one? We’re going to order three different patterns this time.

Anna : Right. Let’s go over it one by one.

Ronnie: OK. Item No. 723 is 4 pieces set. They come in case of six cartons, so we plan to take 400 cases.

Anna : Right. What’s the item number for the 8 pieces set?

Ronnie: Well, that’s item No. 724, packed in 4 cartons case.

Anna : How many are we going to take that?

Ronnie: 200 cases.

Anna : 200… What’s its price?

Ronnie: That is $18.56 per set.

Anna : Is that so? The price must be different from the last order.

Ronnie: Yes, Anna. This one is cheaper. It has two teapots and 6 teacups. The pattern we ordered last time is $17.89 per set, with only 4 teacups. The supplier said that the pattern we ordered is out of stock for the present and they recommended this new pattern to us.

Anna : I see. Have we ordered the fork and spoon set?

Ronnie: No. It’s not on the list.

Anna : Well, the Sales Department said many customers are looking for the spoon and fork set. Maybe we can make an inquiry to our suppliers for the spoon and fork set?

Ronnie: That makes sense. We’d better take time.

Anna : Yeah, after you get their quotation, could you please give me a detailed list of the varieties, price and packing before the monthly purchasing meeting next week?

Ronnie: Of course. I'll go to work on it.
