A: Hey Stan, how long will this conference take? Will there be an intermission(휴식시간)?
B: The organizers are really running this conference by the book so there should be a 30 minute intermission after
the third presenter.
A: The speakers are really getting into the nuts and bolts of their topics so I think we might go over time.
B: Yeah, I noticed that they are really striking while the iron is hot and trying to present as much information while
we are here.
A: I really wish they would just get down to the important points rather than giving so many details.
B: That would save so much time. The conference took almost four hours yesterday because of a lot of unnecessary details.

Discussion Questions
1. When you work, do you focus more on the nuts and bolts of something or do you look at things in a broad way?

In my case, I prefer to look at things in a broad way. Because I think the industry has the streem.

For example, these days big trend is the recycled ITEMs.

 
2. What do think could be a disadvantage if a company work too much by the book?

I think it is to get too slow result. I think this time is one of important thing is to get speed.

Industy has copetitve. so I think eventhough the item is very good but very slow, it could be fail.

3. Can you describe to me a situation where you would want to strike while the iron is hot?

I thin recycled Item is time to grow up. on the world, all country have surfferd inflation.

recycle item is very expensive, I thin it is good timing to change verging things to recycled things while coming inflation.
