TOEIC 리스닝 파트 3 — 문제
지문
Man: I'm trying to finalize the details for our annual holiday party. Have you had any luck with the catering options I sent over?
Woman: Yes, I've looked through them. The menu from 'Gourmet Bites' looks promising, but they're a bit pricier than we budgeted for.
Man: Hmm, that's a concern. We really want to keep costs down this year while still making it special. What about the other option, 'Culinary Creations'?
Woman: They have a more affordable package, and their reviews are excellent. The only snag is finding a suitable date that works for most people. December fills up so quickly.
Man: You're right. Maybe we should send out a quick poll to gauge everyone's availability for a few potential dates in early December. That might help us narrow it down faster.
