Grammar I

Rearrange the replies to have an interview with the web designer. Listen and check.

{input: 1}	Let's talk about how long it will take to set up the website. We want it ready in a month's time. That's the end of July.
{input: 17}	OK, that sounds reasonable. Now, what else do we need to discuss before you get started?
{input: 15}	I see. Do you mind if I ask you why you want to pay that way?
{input: 14}	Yes, I think we could arrange that. OK. I agree to that.
{input: 12}	Well, we'd prefer to pay you a fixed amount for the work. We can offer you $6,000.
{input: 16}	Well, you see, that way we can control the cost of the project. If we pay you per hour, the costs could increase and they could get out of control. This way, we know where we stand.
{input: 3}	Yes, that's no problem. Just do the best you can. Our priority is to have the website up and running as soon as possible.
{input: 9}	OK then, agreed.
{input: 2}	That is a very short timescale. I was hoping to have; two months to do the job. If I only have one month to do the work, will you agree to reduce the number of pages?
{input: 11}	Yes, that's the normal fee for the job.
{input: 10}	Now about payment. You want to charge us 50 dollars an hour. That works out at 400 dollars a day, I believe.
{input: 4}	Now, the design of the website. Will we have images of our book covers on it?
{input: 13}	I see. $6,000. Mmm, that could be all right, I suppose, as long as I get some money in advance. Will you pay me half when I start the work and half at the end?
{input: 8}	Maybe you're right. How about two covers per page, then?
{input: 7}	Mmm, I don't know. People like to see the book covers. It draws them into the website, believe me.
{input: 5}	Absolutely. I'd like to display a large number of book covers on every page. They'd really attract people's attention. What do you think?
{input: 6}	It's a bit too much. A lot of pictures take too long to download. I'd prefer one big image. How about that?
