Meetings: Agenda setting

Transcript
Clip 1
Sarah: Right then, Alex, let’s get down to business. On the agenda today for our
public relations meeting are the research project, the launch of the website,
the timeline for press releases, and the secretary（秘书长） of the year award. Are
you quite happy with those points?
Alex: Yeah, that’s fine. If you could go through them in order, that’d be great.
Clip 2
Alex: Okay everybody, thanks for coming. Let's keep this meeting fairly brief,
really just a couple of things on the agenda. First of all, as you can see, the
news on the book re-launch; and secondly¹, the office move; and finally, we
will have a little bit of time for any other business.(本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑)
