Can you confirm the date for the meeting with the software testers? Just a moment, I'll check the calendar.

 Have you made a list of all the participants? Yes, all the members of the customer relations department.

 Are you free on Wednesday afternoon at 13:00? I'm sorry. I already have something planned.

 Unfortunately, I'm busy all day on the 30th. Let's look for another date that is convenient for us both.

 It's important you attend the meeting with Electrastore Parts. You'll learn a lot of essential information.

 Has the meeting with the programmers been scheduled? Not yet, I have to check when Ms Carson is available.

 I'm sorry, I have a previous commitment in the morning. Don't worry. We can rearrange for another day.

At eight o'clock, I have a video conference scheduled with the IT company in Miami.

We've prepared some light refreshments - coffee, tea, cake and fruit.

 The only equipment I'll need at the software conference is my laptop. 

Participants will receive a pack containing all the information from the smartphone presentation. 

We'll have a short break at half past two. 

8- Copy and complete the sentences. Use the words in bold to help you. 

You can't schedule two meetings for the same person at the same time. 

When people are tied up, it means they are busy. 

If a meeting starts at 9.00 sharp, it won't start later.

 Light refreshments include things like coffee and tea. 

When a time is convenient for you, it means that you are free. 

You have a break when you want to stop working for a few minutes.
