AUDIO TRANSCRIPT

Lisa: Hey Mark, how’s your week going?
Mark: Pretty busy! I am working on a big project right now, so my schedule is getting a bit crazy.
Lisa: Oh, really? What’s the project about?
Mark: We are launching a new marketing campaign, and I am coordinating with different teams. There’s a lot to do!
Lisa: That sounds exciting. I usually handle social media campaigns, but this month, I am focusing on internal communications.
Mark: Nice! Do you check emails first thing in the morning?
Lisa: Yes, I read emails every morning before I start working. It helps me stay organized. What about you?
Mark: I try to, but sometimes I have back-to-back meetings. In fact, I am attending three meetings today!
Lisa: Wow, that’s a lot. Do you go out for lunch, or do you eat at your desk?
Mark: I usually eat at my desk, but today, I am going out for lunch with a client.
Lisa: That sounds nice. Anyway, I need to get back to work. Good luck with your project!
Mark: Thanks! See you later.
