Welcome to our studio. Thanks. My pleasure. OK then. Let me start by asking you how old your company is. My grandparents started the company in 1955. Why did they decide to open a furniture plant in Bucharest? At that time there was a construction boom. There was a great need for furniture and my grandparents saw a business opportunity. Their aim was to provide quality yet affordable wooden furniture. And this goal has never changed. Do you still only work with wood? That\u2019s right. It\u2019s what we know and what we do best. If we started trying different materials, our quality would probably suffer. And all the wood is local? Correct. A hundred percent of our raw material comes from Romania. Could you please outline how the company has grown over time? What have been the main challenges and opportunities that you have faced? Well, back in the 50s and 60s, Romania was a lot poorer than it is today. My grandfather and father did not have much capital, and our customers didn\u2019t have much money either. So that limited growth. The big change was in 2007 when Romania joined the European Union. Suddenly, our market exploded in size and we could now sell our products all across the continent. There was also more financial investment. And, as a result, we went from having 20 employees to 200. Which countries are your biggest market? Besides Romania, our biggest market is Germany. There is strong demand there for our traditional style of furniture. Questions 8 to 1l are based on the conversation you have just heard. 8.Why did Semenov\u2019s grandparents start a furniture plant in Bucharest? 9.What was Semenov\u2019s grandfather trying to do? 10.What does Semenov say about her company\u2019s raw materials? 11.Where does Semenov\u2019s company sell their products\uff1f Have you heard about the new restaurant, the Pearl? Susan and I are going to try it out this weekend. We have a reservation on Saturday at 7 o\u2019clock. I can call to add two more to the table if youd like. 2 That sounds great We\u2019d love to join you. You always seem to know the best places to go. Where do you hear about these things? I have a habit of reading\uff08614\uff09Magazine. It has all the information on local events within the\uff08614\uff09column code area. That was a clever name for the magazine then. Does it only focus on new restaurant openings? They have other information too. Things like concerts, festivals and small shops. I think the restaurant information and reviews are the most exciting though. Each year they also sponsor a local event called Restaurant Week. Restaurant Week? What\u2019s that? Oh, it\u2019s wonderful. All the stylish restaurants participate. They have special set menus for the week, usually in spring\uff0cat a number of different price points. Susan and I go to at least three different places during the event. It\u2019s a great opportunity to try some of the more expensive restaurants at a discounted price and try something new. That\u2019s how we found the Pearl, actually. Wow, that\u2019s an event I would be interested in. When will it be happening this year? You are in luck. Restaurant Week starts in just a few days, the first Sunday in May. Let\u2019s make sure they set a double date during the event. Just let me know what type of food you would like to try. Okay, I will. ","sign":2,"direction":" In this section, you will hear two long conversations. At the end of each conversation, you will hear four questions.
