Conversation 131 (Listen and Read)

Did you get the email from our director?

She wants to run a company-wide contest to come up with ideas for the product launch.

I did have a quick look at it.

I can't believe that the marketing department dropped the ball

and couldn't create a successful campaign to attract consumers.

I will be honest, I don't think I will enter the contest.

I am running out of time to finish this budget report.

Ah, that is a bummer!

You always have the most unique ideas.

It may be worth staying late to finish the report,

because the winner of the contest gets an all-inclusive trip to Mexico!
