TUTOR: By the way,do you know about ourBusiness Centre?
BRIAN: No.What's that?
TUTOR: It's a training resource - a collection ofmaterials for people to study on their own,or use intheir own organisations.
BRIAN: Uhuh.You mean books and ivdeos?
TUTOR: Yes,and manuals for self-study.Plus a lot ofcomputer-based materials,so people can workthrough them at their own speed,and repeatanything thry aren't sure about.And you can hire laptops to use in your own home or workplaceas well as printers that you can take away.
BRIAN: Does it have anything that I could use to improve my study skils?I don't have muchidea about report writing,and I'm sure I'll need it on the course.
TUTOR: Oh yes,there's plenty of useful material.Just ask one of the staff.
BRIAN: Does the centre cover all the main areas of business?
TUTOR: Yes,topics like finance,and of course marketing-that's a popular one.Local managersseem to queue up to borrow the videos!
BRIAN: So it isn't just for students,then?
TUTOR: No,it's for members only,but anyone can join.
BRIAN: How much does it cost?
TUTOR: ￡100 a year for a company,and ￡50 for an individual,with no discount forstudents.I'm afraid.
BRIAN: That's very helpful.Well,I think that's all.I'd better go home and fill in the enrolmentform.Thanks for all your help.
TUTOR: You're welcome.Goodbye.
BRIAN: Goodbye.
