Hi everyone, this is my first voice message that I send. I look forward to your answers and advices.

Grateful in advance!

— Here are the steps for reimbursing travel expenses. First, you need to fill out a travel voucher, that's the blue form here. Take that to your manager, and get his or her signature on the bottom line. Then, take a copy of that form -- that's the yellow page underneath -- and turn it into accounting. Be sure to attach copies of all your receipts. You keep the third page, the pink form, along with all your original receipts. Reimbursement checks are cut once a month, and they are separate from your normal paycheck. They usually go out on the 15th.
— OK, blue form to manager, yellow to accounting. I think I've got it. What type of expenses will the company reimburse?
— Typically taxi, subway and bus fares; admission fees; meals and drinks up to $30 a day; and any necessary business supplies -- either for use on your trip or after you return. Of course, we'll also reimburse for unexpected costs, such as having to rent a hotel room if your flight is cancelled or delayed, or expenses associated with a lost wallet or natural disaster

You'll have to try again, but I'm afraid that I cannot advise you on why we hear only static and no voice on your test threads. Please send a PM to Slava or Torsten if you continue to have trouble. They are our recorded-message experts.

— Yes, I need to book a round-trip, business-class ticket from San Francisco to Beijing, leaving on the 18th and returning on the 29th.
— OK. One minute please. I can book you on Worldwide Airways, leaving at 9 a.m. the 18th, with a two-hour layover in Seoul, and returning at 2 p.m. the 29th, with a one-hour layover in Tokyo.
— I'd prefer a direct flight. Also, I'd like to depart in the morning both days, if at all possible.
— Let me see. I could book a direct flight at 7 a.m. the 29th on Asia Air, and the return flight from Beijing would be late morning -- 11 a.m. -- on the 29th. Would that be all right?

As with many Chinese and Taiwanese learners, Maggie, your main difficulty is the clear and full pronunciation of (especially) terminal consonant sounds. Practice making sure that you complete each word: afraid, spreadsheets, like. Make a special effort to say these sounds strongly, clearly, completely. It may help if you add a very short 'schwa' sound after these: afrai, spreasheetsə, etc.
