Hope:

Hey, Joey, how’s your day?

Joey:

So far so good. How about you, Hope?

Hope:

Not bad!

Joey:

對了! Hope, can I borrow your correction tape?

Hope:

Sure. Here you are.

Joey:

Thanks. By the way, I just noticed that 我們辦公用品好像有一點短缺哦?

Hope:

You’re right. We are running low on some office supplies. I was going to get a blue pen and only to find this black one left.

Joey:

Yes. We are running low on some office supplies. It’s time to talk with 採購 again.

Hope:

Why don’t we make a list of what we need before we talk to the purchaser.

Joey:

Good idea. So, what items are we running short on?

Hope:

Well, we almost out of A4 paper. There are only a few reams left on the shelf.

Joey:

A4 paper 是絕對必要的!

Hope:

A4 paper is definitely essential.

Joey:

Yes. A4 paper is definitely essential. By the way, what does “a few reams” mean?

Hope:

Oh, a ream of paper means 500 sheets of paper.

Joey:

I see. We should have the purchaser order a few more boxes. What else?

Hope:

I think our staplers are in bad shape and some are even out of order. And we are also running low on staples as well.

Joey:

Ok. We need several staplers and a couple of boxes of staples. Anything else?

Hope:

Yes, we need a few long rulers. The one I am using has been worn out and in bad conditions.

Joey:

I’ll add that on the list. New rulers, check! How about correction tapes? I remember I couldn’t find them in the drawers.

Hope:

Exactly. The one I lent you is mine.

Joey:

So, let me put it on the list. We should get a few more. okay. What about notebooks and files? Do we need them as well?

Hope:

Definitely. We are down to our last few notebooks, and the file folders are almost all used up.

Joey:

Notebooks and files. Got it! anything else can you think of?

Hope:

That should cover the basics.

Joey:

Oh! We need more pens and post-it notes. They are important, too.

Hope:

By the way, my computer mouse seems broken. Can we also get a new one?

Joey:

Of course. I’ll give the list to the purchaser. And I’ll have her place the order right away.

Hope:

Yes, it’s important to keep our supplies stocked up, so we can have things handy.

Joey:

Agree. It’s important to keep our supplies stocked up, so we can have things handy
