Answer key

  1. We'd like to discuss the terms of the new contract.“We’d” is “we would”.
  2. Of course, what would you like to change?“What would you” runs together: “wha-wud-ya”.
  3. We're hoping for a lower price if we increase our orders.As a verb, “increase” is stressed on “crease”.
  4. We could offer a discount for larger volumes.“Larger volumes” means bigger amounts.
  5. That sounds reasonable, as long as delivery times stay the same.“As long as” means on condition that.
