Welcome back to English at Work. Paul, Anna and Tom are at an important international plastics conference. It's been a busy day of networking, but the big boss from America, Mr Socrates, has told Paul some bad news. Before he tells the team, there's an important award to be won, the Plastic Innovation（创新） of the Year Award. Will Tip Top Trading win it? I hope you've written your acceptance（接受） speech, Anna.

  Yes, I'm just doing it now. You've left it a bit late. I've been so busy and now I'm really struggling（ 努力）. I don't know what to write. Well, don't forget to say, on behalf（ 利益） of everyone at Tip Top Trading, thank you for our award. Or, you could say, our company is at the forefront（最前线） of plastic innovation（创新）.

  Tell the audience, this award is a real boost（推动） for everyone working at the company. Say that and you'll be fine. Working at the company. Good, got it. Thanks. Oh, hi Tom.

  How have you got on? Great, great. Yeah, I've been hanging（挂） out with some of our clients（[经] 客户）, keeping them sweet. You know what I mean? I don't actually know, but I've had some success. Oh, here comes Paul.

  Hi Paul. Oh, hello. Having a good day? Yes, we're just talking about our success. Let's hope we win that Plastic Innovation of the Year award, eh? Oh yes, let's hope so.

  Although that means I've got to read out that speech you wrote for me. Public speaking is not really one of my things. Ladies and gentlemen（绅士）, please take your seats for our special award ceremony（典礼）. Okay（好）, here's your speech, Paul. We've got to win first. Shh, shh, listen.

  Thank you everyone for attending this year's conference. As you know, the highlight（最精彩的部分） of the day is announcing（宣布） the winner of our Plastic Innovation（创新） Award.
