27、ome along to that - youre very welcome. At Arlington Park, we aim to help you not only to get the most out of your staff, but also the most out of you yourself. Our next two weekend workshops are covering two very important areas in this field: on the tenth of June, we have a workshop on communicati

28、on. Nothing could be easier in our modern world and yet nothing is more difficult, too. On the seventeenth of July, we have a change in the programme; we previously advertised a course on using technology, but that day is now set aside for a course called simply Leadership, run by one of our best tr

29、ainers, Richard Gordon. You probably know his management books. The one-day weekend workshops are just one of the types of courses we offer.

30、isure. Arlington Park is very well equipped, and managers always enjoy their stay. Our facilities are excellent, and we have special training suites, as well as a fitness centre.

33、Y / INQUIRY)FORM(S) 四、 PART FOUR 23 【听力原文】 Woman: Hello, Mr Michael, thanks for talking to me today. Man: Not at all. Woman: Your company is located in such wonderful countryside. I expect your clients like coming here, dont they? Or do they find it difficult to get here? Man: Actually, the transpor

34、t links arent too bad, but we very rarely see our customers in person. What they do like about it is that its a pretty secret location and rather difficult to find. Our work is very confidential. Woman: Ah yes. Your designs are beginning to make the designs of some of your competitors look rather ol

35、d-fashioned. How do your designers work on their ideas? Is it all about technology? Man: Technology is the biggest part. We certainly have no use for pencils and drawing boards like the old-style design studios. Our designers use the latest computer-aided design system. Ideas can be tested from all

36、angles just by using the computer screen. However, we havent stopped building models completely - we just put the design into a solid form using clay or foam at a later stage of the process.

38、ok for new ideas, for example by using well-known artists on a freelance basis? Man: We certainly do look for ideas outside the company, but not from freelancers - our works too secret for that.

Woman: What do you think it is that your customers value most about you? Is it just the fact that you use the latest technology? Man:

40、Well, not that alone. Good-quality design can be made by any number of different methods, not just ours. What our customers particularly like is that with the technology, we can work faster than our competitors. Design has traditionally been a very slow process - but not here. That doesnt mean were

41、cheap, it just means we can get the design to the client before anyone else can. Woman: Youre becoming well known for your designs, now, arent you? Didnt one of your racing bikes recently win an award in a competition? Man: Well, what actually happened was, it was judged by over fifty international

42、biking magazines to be the best design, which meant that they all used it on their front covers, which was fantastic publicity for us, and hopefully the bike will go on to win lots of races. Woman: It must be sad when designs are rejected. However successful a design company is, is it true that most

43、 designs never actually go into production? Man: Usually, but not with us. Almost all our designs are put into production as soon as the company receives them. Our customers want designs not just to look at and think about for some later date, but to use immediately. Very few are rejected. Woman: Ho

44、w do your customers pay you? Man: Many design companies demand from their clients a share in the profits from sales of products made to their designs. That can be very costly to the client. Our customers pay us on a straight fee basis: one project, one fee. If it takes many more hours to produce than we had expected, thats our problem, but the client gets the project on time.
