Janet:  My boss has given me some paperwork to do on a European
Project. I'm not familiar with all the jargon. Can you help me?

Martin: Don't worry. It is a bit confusing at first. I used to spend a
lot of time looking up web pages on the EU. You will get used to it.

Janet:  Really, though, I will need some guidance in drafting the
project.

Martin: The National Agency will give you advice on drafting the
proposal. I used to contact them by phone or email. But you could send
the project outline to them to get some feedback.

Janet:  Oh, dear. I have no idea how to start.

Martin: Why don't you attend one of the seminars held by the National
Agency? They used to hold them every year before the application
deadline. I'm sure they still do.

Janet:  That's a great idea. I'll ask for approval from my boss right
away.
