Im delighted to receive this award from the UK design industry and thank everyone involved. My career has come a long way since I started my first job as a junior employee in a finan

25、ce company. I worked in that field for fifteen years, changing companies several times. However, in 1990 a recruitment consultancy contacted me with an invitation to join a retail chain as a senior manager, and I accepted. It was the right choice - within two years Id moved into fashion design. My e

26、arly creations were mostly unsuccessful and when the company attended the London Design Exhibition, none of my work was included. However, the following year my designs were shown at another trade fair in Germany; they received a lot of attention and sales increased. There were many opportunities op

27、en to me, especially in the US, so I decided to set up my own business. I always try to have original ideas, to be ahead of the field. Last year, of course, I received the Conrad Prize for the graduate training scheme we introduced, but until this award I had never previously won anything for my fas

28、hion designs. Id like to thank someone whos been very important to me since I started the company . thats my assistant, who plays a part not just in the design department, but also in planning, marketing and recruitment. I certainly hope this award will help us to grow. Were planning expansion into

29、areas other than clothing design, including textiles and kitchen equipment.

31、听力原文】 M: Come in, Rachel. F: Thanks. M: Right. We need to discuss some of the issues raised at the last meeting with your department. F: Yes, there were a lot of questions about computer systems and flexible working hours. M: Well talk about computer systems in a minute, but I think we can leave fle

32、xible working hours for the time being. What Im really very concerned about at the moment, though, is how some staff are working. Im not at all happy with how long its taking for some reports on visits to come in. Thomas Lee, for instance, hasnt produced a single report on time. The last, on his vis

33、it to Paris was two weeks late. Its not as though theyre long reports -they should only take a short time to write. F: Ill certainly warn Thomas about getting reports in more quickly but it really comes down to a question of staff training. I think we need to do some workshops on time management. M:

34、 I agree, but getting consultants in to do the training costs money. Itd be cheaper to use one of our own staff. Have we got anyone who could do it.? F: Robert Green has some management training experience. M: Hes away on a team-building course at the moment, though, isnt he? F: Only till next week.

35、 Ill speak to him when he gets back. Im sure hell be interested. M: Now, Id like to move on to computer systems. As you know, were going to upgrade our software.

36、dy and running for March. F: Good. Im worried about the computer skills of some of the staff, though. A few could do with some extra training. M: Im sure youre right. Could we organize that on the premises, do you think? F: Possibly, but itd be expensive. I know the business college in the Broom Str

37、eet has a really good computer section. Ive compared their prices with those of the computer training center at Blackstone, and college prices are far more reasonable. M: Lets go to get that, then. Will you see to it? F: Of course. Now, I think this would be a good time to make some office changes b

38、efore the new software comes in. The Accounts team need a bigger office. At the moment, weve only got five people using the marketing office on the second floor, so Accounts could take over that office if we moved Marketing to the first floor. M: And HR up to the third floor? Yes, that sounds a good

39、 idea. F: Great. Itll mean moving a lot of equipment. Accounts keep complaining about some of their equipment. Itd be nice if we could replace it. M: We certainly cant replace all of it. Whats causing most problems? F: Well. Weve had to call technical support in at least once every week for the past

40、 two months to deal with the fax machine. The printers were causing trouble but theyre working well enough now and everyone complains that the photocopier is slow but its alright, really. M: Fine, Ill see what we can do. Now, I have to go in a minute. What do we need to discuss when we meet next wee

41、k? F: Its Health and Safety report. M: Peter Lymen has already done that. F: Great. What about the programme for the French clients? Theyre coming at the beginning of next month. M: OK. Wed better deal with that. F: And then what about getting a new PA to replace Louise? M: Oh, we can leave that, and I think she isnt going till the end of April now. F: Thats good.
