听力原文:M: Harrisons Trading Firm Ltd. How can I help you?
F: This is Anita Freeman, the assistant manager at Best Hardware. Is Mr Hunter there?
M: Speaking.
F: Mr Hunter, the goods we ordered arrived here last week. After reinspection, we found 30 steel rollers were terribly rusty. We have already sent you the photos of them by E-mail.
M: Really? I'm so surprised to hear this. Anyway, I regret this incident should happen. Maybe the dampness at sea caused the rust.
F: Before unloading, our surveyors went on board and found the holds in perfect conditions. If you look at the photos, it's evident that the rust is due to poor workmanship. I demand a refusal of the full amount for the goods. We are in urgent need of the steel rollers. With so many faulty ones in hand, our project will surely be delayed.
M: Don't worry, Ms Freeman, we'll lay our best to mend your loss. I'll call our home office and ask them to dispatch the replacements. You can rest assured that your project won't be delayed.
F: OK. It sounds to be a good solution. When could the replacements be expected?
M: I think the earliest time would be this Friday. I would also like to have the faulty ones returned for examination.
F: That's OK. Mr Hunter, thanks a lot. Bye-bye.
M: Bye-bye.
