　　Situation 10:
        　　The Meeting
        　　Good afternoon,gentlemen.
        　　Today my colleague,Mr.Goddard and I will
        　　be introducing you to a revolutionary new
        　　software program.It combines all the
        　　functions of various other programs—word
        　　processing,translating,financial
        　　management,graphic design,and more—into
        　　one.I will be leading the first part of the
        　　presentaton,while Mr.Goddard will be answering technical
        　　questions at the end.
        　　I have a question from the beginning.
        　　Yes.Please go ahead.
        　　I am wondering about the price of your program.
        　　In other words,will it be cheaper to buy
        　　your product,or should we just buy all of the others
        　　separately?
        　　I'm glad you asked that question,
        　　Mr.Wang.I was going to save this part until the
        　　end of the meeting,but since you asked I will tell you.
        　　Our program is on average forty percent
        　　less expensivethan it would be to buy the programs it
        　　replaces separately.
        　　And what about after-service and upgrades?
        　　All our products are guaranteed for one
        　　year.As for upgrade,they will also be free and
        　　can be downloaded from the internet.
        　　I am also curious about compatibility with
        　　Apple computers.Do you have a separate product for Apple
        　　or...?
        　　Perhaps my colleague should answer that,as it is more on the
        　　technical side.
        　　Mr.Wang,I developed this product to work on both PC's
        　　and Macs.I assume your company is mainly interested
        　　in the PC version,but I assure you Mac users will have no
        　　problems with our product either.That's what I was
        　　afraid of.I want Mac users to have problems.
        　　Otherwise they'll keep buying from Apple and
        　　not from my company.
        　　I apologize,sir,but I cannot help you with that.
