Hello, I'm calling for Mr. Jacob Torrance. (98) This is Claudia Barr, head of passenger services at Maine International Airport. You had a few questions about airport facilities, and I'd be happy to answer them now for you. (99) Your flight will be leaving from Gate 17 in Terminal 3, which is the newest and most modern of our three terminals. There are numerous gift stores in Terminal 3, so you'll definitely be able to find some gifts to take back for your friends and family. Also, there is a pharmacy next to Gate 20, so if you've forgotten any medication, you will be able to find it there. Lastly, (100) the duty-free shop is located between Gate 16 and Gate 18. You can pick up all sorts of tax-free items there. I hope you have a pleasant flight, sir.

Good morning, team. Well, today is Friday, which means it is cleaning day in our office. I'm sure you've all probably had a look at the cleaning schedule already, (95) but I'll quickly review all your duties anyway. Alison, you're responsible for cleaning the fridge. As you know, (96) it was just bought a few days ago, so it shouldn't be very full or messy yet. Just make sure there are no spillages or open containers. Michelle, you need to vacuum the office and kitchen area, while Hailey will take care of the dishes. (97) Trevor is absent today, so I'll perform his duty. Lastly, Richard, please just tidy up all the scrap paper and files, and empty the trash cans. Okay, let's get to work!
