Introduction

Дорогие читатели!

Если вы когда-либо изучали английский язык и практически его забыли, но сейчас вам нужен английский язык для делового обще­ния, мы надеемся, что именно этот учебник поможет вам.

Учебник построен на реальных ситуациях общения с англий­скими и американскими бизнесменами в России, Англии и США. В нем представлены такие темы, как:

• Обучение специалистов

• Финансирование внешней торговли

• Платежи

• Контракты, запросы, предложения

• Посещения фирм и предприятий

• Финансовая деятельность

• Балансы, бухгалтерский учет

• Банки и т.д.

Учебник содержит диалоги по этим темам, деловую перепис­ку, а также интересные страноведческие сведения.

Учебник поможет вам вести деловые переговоры, телефон­ные деловые разговоры, а также активно участвовать в различ­ных деловых встречах.

К текстам даются словарные пояснения, грамматические правила и упражнения. Они помогут вам лучше запомнить слова и научиться правильно употреблять их в своей речи, а также по­нимать собеседника, говорящего на английском языке.

Приводится также общий словарь слов и словосочетаний, вошедших в учебник, и краткий словарь деловой лексики по темам, изучаемым в учебнике.

При создании учебника автор использовала свой практиче­ский опыт общения с зарубежными бизнесменами и опыт пе­дагогической работы по обучению взрослых деловому общению на английском языке.

ЖЕЛАЕМ УСПЕХОВ В ИЗУЧЕНИИ ДЕЛОВОГО АНГЛИЙСКОГО!

Методические рекомендации для преподавателей

1. Ускоренный курс делового английского языка рассчитан на 200 часов, на изучение каждого из 50 уроков (Unit) предпо­лагается 4 часа.

2. Учитывая реальные возможности обучающихся, основную работу лучше проводить на занятиях и не рассчитывать, что они будут выполнять большие домашние задания. Домашним заданием может быть чтение и просмотр текста или выполнение письменно тех упражнений, которые вы успели сделать на занятиях устно.

3. Большое внимание следует уделять фонетике, используя ра­боту хором, повторы за преподавателем в нужном темпе. Для этого в каждом уроке даны упражнения: Read the following.
Для отработки фонетических навыков целесообразно использовать диалоги.

4. Грамматический материал лучше объяснять, используя русский язык. Не следует ожидать от обучающихся безошибоч­ного говорения на английском языке. Важнее научить их гово­рить достаточно быстро с правильной в целом интонацией и са­мое главное понимать речь собеседника на слух.

5. На занятиях преподаватель должен в основном говорить на английском языке. Не следует исправлять все ошибки обу­чающихся, особенно если они не искажают смысла высказыва­ния и не мешают пониманию. Если же вы хотите исправить ошибку, лучше сделать это вполголоса, как бы незаметно, или переспросив, подсказывая правильный вариант.

6. Как вы обратите внимание, все упражнения строятся во­круг ситуации урока и от этого лучше не отступать. Хочется на­деяться, что это поможет создать у обучающихся более прочные ассоциативные связи.

7. Каждое занятие лучше заканчивать подведением итогов самими обучающимися с рассказом о том, что они узнали на занятии или из урока.

8. Показателем овладения учащимися материалом могут слу­жить упражнения типа Complete the dialogues and act out similar ones,
предложенные практически в каждом уроке.

Итоговый контроль также лучше проводить в форме диалогов.

Автор будет признателен за все замечания и советы, которые у вас несомненно появятся при работе с учебником.

Unit one

Meeting an English businessman

Text

David Hill, an English businessman, is at Sheremetievo airport in Moscow. Pete and Nick, Russian businessmen, are at the air­port to meet Mr. Hill.

Pete:
Hello, Mr. Hill!

David:
Hello, Pete! It is so good to see you! Thank you for meeting me.

Pete:
I am very glad to see you too. Can I introduce my friend and colleague Nick?

David:
How do you do, Nick?

Nick:
How do you do, David? I'm glad to meet you.

And they shake hands. In Britain most people shake hands when they meet someone for the first time. It is not usual to shake hands when you say good-bye or when you meet again later.

Pete:
Follow me please, David. Watch the step!Our car is in the parking area.

Text

Two weeks before the group is to leave Moscow for London Pete telephones David. His secretary answers the call.

Secretary:
International Management here, can I help you?

Pete:
Good afternoon. My name is Smirnov from Economtraining, Moscow, Russia. Could I speak to Mr. Hill, please?

Secretary:
Hold on, please. I'll just see if Mr. Hill is available ... I'm putting you through.

Pete:
Thank you

David:
Speaking

Pete:
David, good afternoon. I am sorry to disturb you but we have a problem I am afraid

David:
What kind of problem is it?

Pete:
Well, you see, one of the participants has fallen ill and he won't be able to join the group.

David:
I'm certainly sorry to hear that. First I 'll have to make another reservation for a single room since the number of participants isn't even now. Besides it will cause changes in the Programme Fee.

Pete:
Can you reduce the fee by one thousand pounds auto­matically?

David:
I'm afraid it can't be done. Some of the expenses are not directly connected with the number of participants. For example hiring coaches for excursions, for airporthotel transfers and so on. I'll make calculations and send you the appropriate Amendment to the Contract.

Pete:
Good. If I find the amended fee quite reasonable I shall immediately instruct the bank to make the transfer.

David:
The reduction will be about nine hundred pounds and I hope you will pay for the Programme next week, as the Contract says.

Pete:
When you make calculations please remember it's a force majuere case. Neither we nor you are responsible. We should split the expenses involved.

David:
I agree with you and I'll take that into account. In an hour or so I'll send you the amendment.

David keeps his promise and sends the amendment in thirty min­utes. Pete finds the amended Programme Fee quite acceptable, signs the Amendment and sends it by fax to David

Unit fourteen

Passports

Text

When the plane arrives at the Heathrow airport the passengers get out of the plane and go into the building of the airport. After passing along endless corridors they get to the passport control point called Immigration. There are two gates. One is for passengers from EC (European Community) countries. And the other gate is for passengers from all other countries. After queuing up for some time Mr. Lvov and the group come up to the queue marshal who signals what officer is free. And each person goes to the counter indicated.

Here is a typical talk between the English Immigration officer and a Russian businessman:

Russian:
Good morning.

Officer:
Good morning, sir. May I see your passport and landing card, please?

Russian
:
Certainly. Here you are.

Officer:
Thank you.... What's the reason for your visit to the UK?

Russian:
I'm on a business tour to attend a training programme.

Officer:
And how long are you staying here?

Russian:
A week or so.

Officer:
Have you got a return ticket?

Russian:
Yes, certainly. Here is my ticket.

Officer:
May I see the invitation of the company who will re­ceive you here?

Russian:
Just a minute I'll ask our Group Leader to present it .... Here is the invitation.

Officer:
Thank you .... Everything is OK. Here is your passport, ticket and the invitation.

Some Russian businessmen have difficulty in speaking with the English Immigration officers and answering then questions. Usually English officers do not like strangers to help them with interpreting. In such cases the officers ask their own interpreters for help. Most probably these interpreters are staff members of Immigration. For some Russian businessmen of the group it was the first experience with Englishmen and the only words they could say were:

I am sorry
. I do not speak English.

Others could say a few words, like these:

I have come as a businessman for training. I shall stay in England for eight days. I shall stay at Sherlock Holmes hotel in London.

Luggage and customs

Text

After undergoing formalities at Immigration the group goes to the Luggage Reclaim point. They find the monitor showing their Flight Number and see their suitcases and bags on the belt. But one of the participants of the group does not see his suitcase and asks Andrew Lvov, the Group Leader, for help. Andrew comes up to an official:

Andrew:
Excuse me, one of our suitcases is missing. Where can it be?

Official:
What's your flight number, sir?

Andrew:
It's SU 241 from Moscow.

Official
:
Some luggage is over there. I hope you'll find yours there. There wasn't enough space on the belt. We had to remove some and put it on the floor.

Andrew:
Thank you.

Andrew and the gentleman who did not find his suitcase go to the place shown by the official and see the suitcase. The gentleman picks up the suitcase, puts it on the trolley and joins the group. So all the participants have collected their luggage.

Now they are moving to the Customs point. By the way, it is not necessary to fill in any declaration forms. They see the sign "Nothing to declare" and the green walls of the passage. They all have nothing to declare and pass through this corridor. They see a few Customs officials standing behind the rack. The officials say nothing to them and they safely pass.

Some other passengers pass through the red wall corridor since they have something to declare and probably they have to fill in some forms and pay customs duty. Usually every country has a list of the things liable to duty " in addition to the duty free allowance".

In a second or two our group gets out into the hall of the airport and sees the crowd of people meeting passengers who have just arrived.

Meetings

Text

Andrew sees David Hill in the crowd of people meeting different passengers.

David:
Andrew, welcome to London. I'm very glad to see you.

Good morning, all of you (addressing the group).

Andrew:
Good morning, David. I'm happy to see you too. It is

such a good thing to be in London again. David:
I hope you have had a nice trip and you all feel well.

Andrew:
Yes, the flight was OK. Should I now introduce the participants? They know your name but I'm afraid you don't know who is who.

David:
Let's make all the introductions later at lunch time.

Andrew:
It's quite reasonable.

David:
Now let's go to the coach. It's waiting for us outside.

Ask your people to keep the lugguage on the trolleys.

Andrew:
Yes, certainly. It's a rather long way.

David:
Follow me please... Take care... Here we are...

The group comes up to the coach and the driver helps them to put the luggage into the luggage compartment. And a few minutes later when everybody is aboard the coach starts its way to London. The motorway is very busy and the traffic is rather heavy. Some parts of the road are under construction.

David:
Oil, well, you see, we shall have to move slowly for some time. Because of this construction work. This motorway, between London and Heathrow, is often un­der construction.

Andrew:
By the way, is there only one international airport near London?

David:
Oh, no, there are three, actually. Heathrow, Gatwick and Stanstead.

Andrew:
And is Gatwick far away?

David:
If I'm not mistaken it's about fifty kilometres from the centre. It's much smaller than Heathrow. And Stanstead is quite new. Sometimes Moscow flights come and leave there. But not very often.

Good morning. There is a reservation for a group from Russia.

Receptionist:
Good morning, sir. In whose name was the reserva­tion made?

David:
It is International Management Group. Mr Lvov and nine more people.

Just a moment, sir... Yes, here it is. Four singles and three twin rooms. Is that correct?

David:
Absolutely.

Receptionist:
Are they all staying for seven nights?

Yes, that's right.

Training programme

Text

After the Group had lunch Mr. Hill invited everybody to one of the conference rooms on the first floor of the hotel.

David:
Ladies and gentlemen First let me say a few words about myself and the company who is the organiser of this Programme.

My name is David Hill. I'm Doctor of Economics. In the recent past I worked for a foreign trade company and then for a bank. Now I specialise in business man­agement and in training businessmen from East Euro­pean countries. For some time I worked in Poland and Hungary. Now I'm closely cooperating with Russia.

I'm working for international Management Ltd. It's a well established English company specialising in busi­ness and computer skills training. The Company also provides financial consulting and business development. Here before you there are booklets on the history and scope of activities of our company. You may certainly keep these booklets.

Now I'll be greatful to you if you could introduce yourselves in just a few wolds.

Then each participant said a few words about himself or herself in English or in Russian and Mr. Lvov acted as an interpreter.

Here is what of one of the participants said:

Mr Hill, let me first thank you for the nice reception and for a good beginning of the Programme. I hope the Programme will be a success and we shall learn a lot of useful things.

My name is Oleg Pilov. I'm financial manager of a de­partment in a commercial bank in Moscow. And I'm especially interested in topics relating to financing for­eign transactions for small businesses.

After everybody made introductions Mr. Hill distributed the Timetable of the Programme and invited the par­ticipants to have a panoramic tour of London by private coach. The Russian speaking guide told the Group a lot of interesting things about London and the participants enjoyed the sights. Many of them made pictures with their cameras.

Unit nineteen

Trade finance

Text

Next morning after having breakfast at the self-sevice bar of the hotel restaurant the participants went to the conference room to have a lecture on Trade Finance.

There was a folder on the big round table for each participant with the material relating to the lecture.

Here is one of the sheets of the file:

Trade finance

à Trade needs finance

à This must come from either the trader or from a lending in­stitution.

à If the trade is international then the amount of finance is noimally greater

à In general, trade is handled on credit

à The buyer pays for the goods at a specified time after receipt

à If the trade is international then delivery time adds to the de­lay in payment

à This adds to the need for finance

à Also in international trade the buyer uses one currency, the seller another

à This requires an organisation with facilities for changing cur­rencies

à On both counts the Bank is the best source of finance

Thus this page gave the most important hints on the subject.

And Mr. Hill, the lecturer, explained and developed each state­ment. The participants sometimes interrupted him and asked questions. Sometimes Mr. Lvov came to help when there was a problem of speaking or understanding.

The lecturer devoted some part of the lecture to financing small business companies who usually enjoy better terms, reduced taxes and other facilities especially during the first years oftheir work.

Unit twenty one

The Bank of England

Text

After the session on Banking Sector Mr. Hill suggested that in the afternoon the participants should visit the museum of the Bank of England. It was one of the external visits of the Programme.

The museum of the Bank of England is located practically in the building of the Bank, in the City of London. The museum has a lot of exhibits showing the history of the Bank from its foundation in 1694 to its role today as the nation's central bank. Visitors can also see a video on the history of the Bank.

Here is a part of the text of the video:

To understand the role and importance of the Bank better we should learn first how it emerged.

During the seventeenth century banking in England was in the hands of goldsmiths who held deposits, made loans to the mer­chants and the Crown. But even the wealthiest goldsmiths could not carry on a deposit and lending business on the scale the Govern­ment required.

So in sixteen ninety four a joint stock company to raise money for the Government and finance wars was incorporated. It later got to be known under the title "Bank of England".

Although privately owned and financed, the Bank of England de­veloped essentially as a government bank, raising money to finance the needs of the British Government, managing its national debt, printing banknotes and minting coins.

In 1946 the Bank was nationalized and it operates today as the UK's central bank executing monetary policy on behalf of the Government and supervising the markets in one of the world's larg­est and most sophisticated centres.

Besides the Bank has always been a repository of gold...

After seeing the video the participants of the Programme made a round of the museum and asked Mr. Hill a few questions.

Participant:
Excuse me, Mr. Hill. May I ask you a question?

Mr. Hill:
Why, certainly.

Participant:
One day I heard the nickname of the Bank. Old Lady. Such a funny name! Where does it come from?

Mr. Hill:
Nobody knows exactly. Different explanations are given. Many of us associate this nickname with an old cartoon. This cartoon shows the Prime Minister asking an old lady sitting on the money-chest marked "Bank of England" for gold coins.

Participant:
So, that's it! Very fascinating indeed!

Unit twenty two

The underground

Text

After their visit to the museum of the Bank of England the Group returns to the hotel by underground.

Londoners call their underground train network "the tube". It covers the whole city. It's a fast, convenient and easy way to travel. Stations are never far apart, especially in central London. Each of the eleven lines has its own name and a distinctive color to aid rec­ognition.

There are two kinds of tube tickets: single and return tickets sold at tube stations. Besides they sell Travelcards for the tube, buses and the Docklands Light Railway, or DLR. Travelcards can be bought at underground stations, Travel Information Centres, British Rail sta­tions and selected newsagents. Travelcards are valid either for one day or seven days.

At the tube station the participants buy single tickets and come up to the electronic gate. They put the tickets, magnetic strip down, into the slot machine on the right side of the gate. The gate opens and after removing the ticket each passes the gate. Then they go down by moving stairs.

David:
Keep you tickets until your journey is completed.

Sergei:
Why is it necessary?

David:
Well, you see, sometimes inspectors check them. Be­sides you have to leave many stations in the same way as you get in. You should put the ticket into the slot machine again to have the gate open. Otherwise you won't be able to leave the station.

Sergei:
I see. Thank you.

Ivan:
This line on the wall is green. I suppose this corridor will take us to the green line.

David:
You are quite right. We are to take the green line to get to Baker Stieet station.

Vladimir:
By the way, can I get to Piccadily Circus by this line?

David:
Let me see, no, I'm afiaid not. You'll have to change trains at Charring Cross.

Vladimir:
Thank you I'll remember it. Charring Cross.

David:
Be carefull. Don't be lost

Vladimir:
Thank you. I have got a map of London and there is the Underground map here too. I have heard so much about Piccadily. And I like the song about it. One of our pop stars sings it. The song is fantastic. And 1 should see the street of Picadilly with my own eyes!

Changing money

Text

In the evening a few participants went to a bureau de change next to the hotel to change some dollars into pounds.

In London money can be changed either at banks, at bureaux de change or at customers' services desks in big department stores.

Banks are usually open from 9.30 a. m. until 3.30 p. m. Some are open on Saturday, but never on Sunday. They accept plastic cards Visa, Access as well as Eurocheques, traveller's cheques and, of course, cash. Many banks have cash dispensing machine services.

Bureaux de change are usually open for longer hours and every day. They often charge a bigger commission than banks.

The exchange rates are often shown in the running lines placed in the windows or on the walls of the bureaux de change for everybody to see.

Now Sergei comes up to the counter of the bureau de change:

Sergei:
Good evening.

Cashier:
Good evening, sir. Can I help you?

Sergei:
Could I change two hundred dollars into pounds, please?

Cashier:
Yes, certainly.

Sergei:
How much will it be?

Cashier:
About one hundred and twenty pounds.

Sergei:
Good. Here you are.

Cashier:
Thank you. And how would you like it, in twenties, tens or smaller notes?

Sergei:
In tens, please.

Cashier:
Fine. Here is the money and your receipt, please.

Sergei:
Thanks. Excuse me, will you be open tomorrow, on Sun­day?

Cashier:
Yes. But we work shorter hours on Sundays. We'll close at 7 p. m.

Sergei:
Thank you. And one more thing. Can I change these coins of fifty cents each.

Cashier:
I'm afraid 1 can't take small change. We change only notes.

Sergei:
Do you believe I can change them somewhere else?

Cashier:
I'm afraid you can't. This is a rule with banks and bureaux de change.

Sergei:
I see. Thank you. Cashier:
You are welcome.

Madame Tussaud's

Text

One day the group went to Madame Tussaud's, one of London's most popular tourist attractions, receiving well over a million visitors a year.

Madame Tussaud was born Marie Gresholtz in Strasbourg, France, in 1761. She spent her childhood in Paris with her mother and her uncle who, when she was rather young, took Marie to help mould the heads of the Revolution victims.

In 1802 Marie fled Paris, and arrived in Britain with her macabre collection, first touring the country. Then she set up an exhibition of historical figures, living and dead, in London in 1835. The collection moved to Marylebone Road, the present location of the museum, in 1884. Madame Tussaud died in 1850 at the age of 89.

The Great Hall of the museum shows the present royal family, kings and queens of England, present royals of other countries, public figures, pop stars, writers, famous sportsmen and other figures.

Some time after the group visited the museum David Hill asked one of the participants about his impressions:

David:
Well, Ivan, and how did you like the museum?

Ivan:
Oh, it's great. I heard so much about it. But the mu­seum surpassed all my expectations.

David:
It's really fantastic. And were you photographed with your personal hero or any celebrity?

Ivan:
Oh, yes. With Arnold Schwartzenegger, Yeltsin, the Beatles and some others. And I wished my son could be with me when I enjoyed the Spirit of London.

David:
Do you mean the ride through the old city in a car in the museum?

Ivan:
Yes, quite so. It was superb. The historic sights of the past, sounds and smell of the city.

David:
By the way, do you know how much all these innova­ tions could cost?

Ivan:
No idea.

David:
About 21 million pounds.

Ivan:
Quite a lot. But it 's very impressive, especially for chil­dren, I mean the Spirit of London. As to the wax fig­ures they are unforgettable for all, to my mind.

David:
I agree with you.

Accounting

Text

At one of the sessions the participants of the Group discussed the subject of Accounting and Inter national Accounting Standards.

Here is a part of fhe lecture:

What is accounting?

Accounting can be defined as the measuring and recording of all relevant financial data concerning a particular entity, that is business, government organisation, etc.

Financial reporting is the communicating of such information in appropriately summarised form. In the UK such summarised form is called "Accounts" In the USA it is called "Financial statements". These accounts or statements are communicated to interested par­ties both within and outside the organisation.

Financial reporting provides information that is useful to present and potential investors, creditors and other users in making rational investment, credit and other economic decisions.

Accounting is often referred to as the "language of business". And, as a direct result of the work of accountants and auditors. A wide range of different users of financial reporting are able to an­swer questions such as:

How much profit did the company make last year?

How much should I lend to the company?

Is this company more successful than its competitors?

How much can I withdraw from the company?

Was last year an improvement over the year before? etc.

Accountants are therefore those individuals specialised in the "art" of capturing the correct data, and preparing the most mean­ingful financial reports from that data. They are "producers" of fi­nancial information, which is then made available to "consumers" such as owners and lenders.

Accountants are assisted in their work by bookkeepers, who op­erate some form of accounting system, usually computerised, to help capture, accumulate, categorise, summarise and report the many thousands of transactions that affect an economic entity every year.

Taxes

Text

On a certain day after the lecture on the UK taxation system the Group was to visit the Tax Department of a lawyers' firm in the centre of London. Mr. Hill and the participants went there by tube which is the fastest means of transport when one wishes to move in the centre of the city. After they got into the building of the firm they went to the secretary's office.

Mr. Hill:
Good afternoon.

Secretary:
Good afternoon, sir.

Mr. Hill:
My name is Hill and here is the Group of Russian busi­nessmen. We have got an appointment with Mr. Brown for three.

Secretary:
Mr. Brown is waiting for you in the conference room. Follow me, please.

In the conference room a few Englishmen were waiting for the Group. Mr. Brown, Head of the Department, welcomed the Group and introduced his colleagues. They were solicitors and legal assistants of different offices. Each of them spoke about his scope of business for some time. Thus the participants had some information on com­mercial taxes, international taxes. Project Finance taxes and other taxation matters.

A lot of questions were asked and answered then. The discussions were very useful and informative. Before the participants left they were offered latest Tax Guides containing current tax rates and tax saving hints.

Here is an extract from the Guide:

Corporation Tax Rates 1997

à Standard rate 33%

à Small companies rate (see the note) 25%

N o t e

Applicable if the company's total profits, including chargeable gains, are 300.000 pounds sterling or less. The threshold is re­duced if the company has associated companies.

Value added tax (VAT)

Text

Value Added Tax (VAT) is a Government tax. At present the standard VAT rate is 17,5%. Everyone in Britain must pay VAT on almost everything they buy. VAT is usually incorporated in the price.

Visitors to Britain can reclaim the tax when they leave Britain and present the appropriate documents issued by the shop. Usually when they buy rather expensive things like furs, gold, hi-fi goods etc., they should wonder if the shop operates the VAT scheme.

One day during their stay in London one of the participants went shop­ping and came into a small jeweleк's shop to buy a gold chain for his wife.

Here is his talk with the shop assistant:

Participant:
Excuse me, may I have a look at one of the chains displayed in the window?

Shop assistant:
Certainly, sir. What number is it?

Participant:
It's nine three five, over there.

Shop assistant:
Just a minute.... Yes, here you are.

Participant:
And how long is it?

Shop assistant:
25 inches, sir.

Participant:
And how much is it in centimeters?

Shop assistant:
Let me see... oh, here is the calculator... I should multiply it by two point five two. Oh, yes, sixty three.

Participant:
Very good. Just the length I wanted to have. And how much is it?

Shop assistant:
One hundкed and ninety nine pounds.

Participant:
Good. I'm buying it.

Shop assistant: ...
Here is your box and the receipt please.

Participant:
Excuse me, may I reclaim the VAT tax?

Shop assistant:
And where are you from?

Participant:
From Russia.

Shop assistant:
Just a minute, I'll consult the book. Yes, you are eligible to the reclaim. May I have your passport to fill in the form?

Participant:
Here you are.

Shop assistant:
Here is your passport and the form. Please fill in this sheet before you give it to the customs. How are you leaving? By plane?

Participant:
Yes, by plane. And what should I do about this form?

Shop assistant:
Fill in this sheet before you leave for the airport and have it stamped at the customs, at the air­port. Then post it. In a month or so you will re­ceive a cheque by post. Have it cashed at the bank stated, in Russia.

Participant:
I see. Thank you very much.

Shop assistant:
You are more than welcome.

Shopping

Text

In England most shops open from 9 a. m. to 5.30 p. m. on Mon­day to Saturday, although some stay open much later especially in London and other large cities. In small towns and villages many shops close early on Wednesdays. Not many shops are open on Sundays.

Besides cash, a lot of shops accept plastic cards. Some may also accept Eurocheques.

One day one of the participants went to Foyle's, a famous book­shop in the centre of London.

Here is his talk with the shop assistant after he chose a few things he wanted to buy
:

Participant:
Can I have this book and this poster, please9
And these postcards and two first class stamps for America.

Shop assistant
:
The book, the poster and the cards come to ten pounds twenty. But we don't sell stamps.

Participant:
And where can I buy a few?

Shop assistant
:
You have to get them from a post office

Participant:
And where is the nearest one?

Shop assistant:
Just round the corner.

Participant:
Thank you.

Shop assistant:
Welcome.

Here is another talk at a clothes department of a big department store, after the participant chose
a certain dress she liked:

Participant:
Excuse me, may I try it on anywhere here? Shop as­sistant: Yes, certainly. The fitting room is over there.

Participant:
... Thank you. It fits me well and I like it. Where shall I pay?

Shop assistant:
The cashier's desk is just at the end of the aisle...

Cashier:
Cash or credit?

Participant:
Cash, please... Thank you.

Here is a talk at a shoe shop:

Participant:
Excuse me, have you got size thirty seven in these shoes?

Shop keeper:
This is a continental size. It must correspond to British size five. Just a minute I'll have a look if we have size five in these shoes.

Shop assistant:
Can I help you?

Participant:
Thank you. Being served.

Shop keeper:
Here is your size... How does that feel?

Participant:
A bit tight. Can I try the next size up?

Shop keeper:
Here is five and a half.

Participant:
Oh, this is much better. Thank you. I'm buying this pair.

Entertainments

Text

London is wonderful for theatres, but the popular shows especially the big musicals are usually fully booked months in advance. Sometimes one may be lucky to get rickets on the day from the thea-tie or booking agency. It is usually much easier to buy tickets for matinees (afternoon performances).

One day one of the participants bought a weekly entertainment guide Time Out
for information about theatres, cinemas, concerts and other entertainments. One of the ads attracted his attention. It said:

PRINCE EDWARD. Tel. 01- 4376877

Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's

EVITA

THE WORLD'S GREATEST MUSICAL

Dir. by Hal Prince Evgs 8.0

Low price Mats. Thurs. and Sat. 3.0

Evg. perfs. end 10.15

Grp sales 01—3796061

He and his friend decided to go to the box office and try their luck.

Participant:
Excuse me, what's on tonight?

Ticket officer:
It's Evita, sir.

Participant:
Have you got any tickets by any chance?

Ticket officer:
You are lucky. There are still a few, at 20 and 15 pounds.

Participant:
And where are the 20 pounds seats?

Ticket officer:
In the upper circle. You may see it in the map on the wall, over there.

Participant: ...
Then may we have two seats in the upper circle.

Ticket officer:
Yes, certainly. Forty pounds, please.

Participant:
Here you are.

Ticket officer:
Thank you... Here are the tickets. Row K, seats 24 and 25

Participant:
Excuse me, and when does the performance finish?

Ticket officer:
It starts at 3.00 and finishes at 5.15.

Participant:
Thank you very much.

The British pub

Text

One day David Hill invited a few participants to a pub. The par­ticipants were happy to satisfy their curiosity and they accepted the invitation willingly. In the evening they went to the nearest pub.

Pubs are "typically English". Most pubs are friendly and relaxed places where visitors can have some beer and, usually, a simple meal. These days one can also get wine in most pubs. Many also serve cof­fee, but not tea. You go to the bar to order and pay for your drink. A typical lunch in a pub is a "ploughmans" — bread, cheese and pickle, and sometimes a little salad.

Pubs are not open all day. The owners themselves can decide when to open. Most open for 3 or 4 hours at lunchtime and again from about 6 p. m. to about 11 p. m. In busy areas, pubs may stay open from 11 a. m. to 11 p. m.

Here is the talk between David and Sergei:

Sergei:
This looks nice.

David:
I like it too. 1 sometimes come here with my friends.... Let me buy you a few drinks. What would you like to have?

Sergei:
Thank you. Just a minute... Well, two halves of bitter and one half of lager, if you please.

David (to
Two halves of bitter and two halves of lager, please.

Barman):
And four packs of crisp.

Barman:
Seven pounds ninety.

David:
Here you are... Thank you... Let's go to that table over there..... Cheers!

Sergei:

Greenwich and the Thames

Text

Greenwich is a very beautiful parkland on the outskirts of Lon­don, on the bank of the River Thames. The Thames, a major waterway of England, flows from Cotswolds to the North Sea and is about 210 miles long. It flows via Oxford, Reading and London.

Greenwich is famous for Greenwich Mean Time, the Royal Ob­servatory and the National Maritime Museum.

The National Maritime Museum tells the story of Britain and the sea. The star attraction of the Museum is the Neptune Hall, which explains the development of boats from prehistoric times to the pres­ent day. In the Nelson Galleries you can see the uniform jacket, with a bullet hole in the left shoulder, which Nelson was wearing when he was fatally wounded at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.

The old Royal Observatory is part of the Maritime Museum and consists of a few historic buildings, high on the Hill above the Thames. Early telescopes and time-measuring instruments are dis­played in Flamsteed House where John Flamsteed, the first Astrono­mer Royal, lived. The large Gate Clock measures Greenwich Mean Time, the standard by which time is set all round the world. And you can stand astride the Greenwich Mereidian, marked by a brass strip crossing the Observatory courtyard.

On the eve of the visit to Greenwich Mr. Hill and the Group Leader had a talk:

David:
Well, tomorrow we are to visit Greenwich, a very picturesque spot of London.

Andrew:
Yes, I remember that. I have heard so much about it but I've never been there.

David:
I'm sure you all will enjoy the visit. I hope the weather will be as good as it is today.

Andrew:
I hope so. The weather has been wonderful these days.

David:
I just wanted to ask you for advice. What way would you prefer to get to Greenwich?

Andrew:
And what ways are there?

David:
Well, we can get there by train, by boat or byDLR. It is not very far.

Andrew:
And what way would you like?

David:
By DLR. It's a few minutes' ride from the centre. Then we should cross the Thames. There is a special tunnel beneath the Thames to Greenwich. It is called the Greenwich Foot Tunnel. There are two elevators on both banks of the river.

Andrew:
Let me ask the participants... I'll be back in a minute... Yes, David, they also prefer DLR. and the walk be­neath the Thames. It must be very curious.

Ivan:
Not bad. I hope you are doing well too.

Frank:
I would say so. How are your classes, young man?

I understand you are kidding but I like the sessions we

are having here. There are a few important things 1 have

before we get down to business.

Some coffee, please.

don't mind.

Frank:
No problem. Our Production Director will take you to our production shop and you will see all the devices we are offering to our customers at present. We have sold quite a lot of each type and we have not got a single complaint. They have never failed our customers.

It sounds very convincing. And will the Production Di­rector be coming soon?

The Production Director showed Mr. Smirnov round the factory and answered a lot of questions of his. There were especially many questions asked on the production floor. The Production Di­rector told Mr. Smirnov about the products of the company. Mr. Smirnov was greatly impressed by the number of the new products and by their sophistication. Then the Production Director showed Mr. Smirnov the different departments of the company and introduced him to the management team. When all was seen and spoken of the Production Director took Mr. Smirnov to Mr. Freiser's office.

Frank:
And what do you think of all that you've seen?

Ivan:
Oh, it's very interesting and impressive. It's a very good set-up: modern factory, good labour force.

Frank:
That's true. We have been in this business for over ten years. Besides we are planning to expand. Our annual turnover is about twenty million pounds.

Ivan:
Then our business will be too small for you, I'm afraid.

Frank:
You are wrong here, I'm sure. We try to satisfy all our customers. And we treat them all with high esteem.

Ivan:
By the way, could I have some material on your prod­ucts? I should study the assortment you offer before we discuss other matters relating to the enquiry, or to our future contract.

Frank:
Naturally you will have all the publicity brochures and leaflets. They contain all the technical details. We have prepared a pack for you. Ivan:
Thank you very much. That's very considerate of you.

Frank:
And when will you be able to tell us what devices ex­actly interest you?

Ivan:
Most probably I'll look through all the materials tonight, then contact our General Director and tomorrow I'll give you our reply.

Frank:
Hard work, isn't it? But certainly it's better to discuss all the details while you are here in London. Now let's make a break and enjoy lunch at the restaurant just across the street.

Ordering the devices

Text

After Ivan Smirnov had a fact-finding visit to Newall Ltd. he
studied the materials he got and reported the results of his visit and survey to the General Director. In the morning he tele­phoned Mr. Freiser and made an appointment for 11 a. m. the same day. Thus they met at Mr. Freiser's premises at 11 and after some preliminaries they got down to business.

Frank:
Judging by your early call this morning you have brought us good news, havent'you?

Ivan :
That's true. Last night I spoke with my General Director and he gave me the go-ahead to the purchase. And here is the list of the devices we are interested in.

Frank:
And how many devices of each type are you ordering?

Ivan : 5
of each the five types, or 25 all in all.

Frank:
It is rather disappointing, I should say.

Ivan :
I agree with you here. It's a rather small order. But it's a trial order. If our customers are satisfied with the devices they will order some more. Meanwhile we'll contact our customers in a few other cities in Russia. They might be interested too.

Frank:
And speaking about your trial order, when do you need the devices?

Ivan:
Can you deliver them next month?

Frank:
At the earliest we can deliver them during the second half of the month. And how do you want us to ship the goods?

Ivan:
By air, this time. They are not very heavy and besides our customers are impatient to test them as soon as possible.

Frank:
If I understand you properly you would like us to ship them on cif terms by plane. The cif prices will be much higher than the basic prices stated in our bro­chures.

Ivan:
Then let's discuss the price now.

Frank:
Shall we have some coffee or tea first?

Ivan:
I don't mind a break at all.

Prices

Text

A
fter a coffee break the businessmen resumed their talk:

Ivan:
And now comes the price problem.

Frank:
As far as I understand you want us to pay airfreight and insure the devices during their shipment.

Ivan:
For our trial order these terms are preferable for us. Could you give me your idea of the cif price for each of the devices then?

Frank:
Before the break I made some calculations and asked the secretary to type the price list on this basis.

Ivan:
Very good.

Frank:
Oh, here it is ... Thank you, Nancy.... Now, Mr. Smirnov, you may have a look at the prices. The total sum is three thousand pounds.

Ivan:
I certainly admit it's a small order. Therefore I shall not mention discounts you usually grant us. But don't take it as a precedent. When we make contracts in future we hope we shall have a certain discount off prices. Frank:
We shall certainly discuss this matter in every particu­lar case. If you mention future contracts there is a question I would like to ask you. Will you always pre­fer cif prices and shipment by plane?

Ivan:
Oh, no. Far from it. Only in this particular case we have chosen shipment by plane and cif terms. But in future, if nothing extraordinary happens, we shall practice fob Tilbury terms, as usual.

Frank:
Fine. No objections on our part. Shall we have a stan­dard contract for your trial order? Ivan: I suppose so. If you can have it prepared now it would be splendid. I'll sign it. I have the power of attorney.

Frank:
And what would you say if I propose to sign it in the evening before our dinner. We could have dinner at the restaurant of your choice.

Ivan:
OK. There is a good cosy restaurant near the hotel. It's called White and Red Roses.

Frank:
Fine. I'll be waiting for you in the lobby at seven p. m.

Ivan:
See you at seven then. Goodbye.

London taxis

Text

One day after an external visit Vladimir Antonov one of the par­ticipants of the Programme decided to go sightseeing by himself. Just to economise time, he decided to go by taxi.

The famous London black taxi cabs can be hailed in the street. Some cabs are now painted different colours and carry limited adver­tising, but are still bound by the same strict regulations. They are available for hire if the yellow light above the windscreen is lit. All these taxis have meters which the driver must use on all journeys within the Metropolitan Police District. The District covers most of Greater London and goes out to the Heathrow Airport. For longer journeys the price is usually negotiated with the driver beforehand. There is also a minimum payable charge which is shown on the meter when you hire the cab. Passengers are expected to pay extra for large luggage, journeys between 20.00—06.00, at weekends and holidays.

There are over 500 ranks throughout London, including all major hotels and British Rail stations.

Besides black cabs there are mini-cabs which practically render similar services. But they cannot be hailed in the street, they are in­distinguishable from private cars. Unlike the black cabs they are not licensed and their drivers do not take the same stringent tests. They are cheaper than black cabs. Usually they are ordered by telephone. They are listed in Yellow Pages.

When Vladimir saw a cab with a yellow light he signaled it to halt:

Vladimir:
Excuse me, could you take me to Westminster Bridge?

Driver:
Yes, certainly. Get in please. .... Where do you want me to stop?

Vladimir:
Near Big Ben or just opposite the Houses of Parlia­ment.

Driver:
Good..... Here you are.

Vladimir:
How much is it?

Driver:
The meter says three forty.

Vladimir:
Here it is... Keep the small change.

Driver:
Thank you. Good-bye. Enjoy the sights.

Unit forty two

London and the City

Text

London was not built as a city in the same way as Paris or New York. It began life as a Roman fortification at a place where it was possible to cross the River Thames. A wall was built around the town for defence, but during the long period of peace which followed the Norman Conquest, people built outside the walls. This building continued over the years. In 1665 there was a terrible plague in Lon­don which killed too many people. In 1666 the Great Fire of London ended the plague, but it also destroyed much of the city. Although many people who had fled London during the plague returned to live in the rebuilt city after the plague and the Great Fire, there were never again so many Londoners living in the city centre.

These days London has spread further outwards into the country, including surrounding villages. Today the metropolis of Greater Lon­don covers about 610 square miles (1580 sq. km), and the suburbs of London continue even beyond this area. Some people even commute over 100 miles (over 150 km.) every day to work in London.

The gradual growth of the city helps to explain the fact that Lon­don does not have just one centre, it has a number of centres, each with a distinct character: the Government centre in Westminster, the shopping and entertainment centre in the West End, the financial and business centre called the City.

The City is rather a small area east of the centre which includes the site of the original Roman town. It is an area with a long and ex­citing history, and it is proud of its independence and traditional role as a centre of trade and commerce. The City of London is one of the major banking centres of the world and you can find the banks of many nations in the famous Threadneedle Street and the surrounding area. Here, too, the Bank of England, the central bank of the nation. is located. Nearby is the Stock Exchange where shares of commercial companies are bought and sold. A little further is Lloyd's, the most famous insurance company in the world.

During weekdays in the City one can see the City gents with their bowler hats, pin-striped suits and rolled umbrellas. This is the 'unifrom' only of those men involved in banking and business in the City.

Driving a car

Text

One of the evenings Mr. Hill and a few participants decided to go to the cinema to see the film, the latest Oscar Award winner. Before the film was to start they had an hour at their disposal. And they decided to have a ride around London by Mr. Hill's car.

David:
What would you like to see during this hour in London?

Anton:
And what would you recommend?

David:
We might have a ride through this entertainment area around Leicester Square and then through the Strand fa­mous for its rich hotels. Then we could also drive to St Paul's Cathedral. It looks majestic in the evening lights.

Anton:
We would be glad to see all that.

David:
Then let's start the journey.

Anton:
... By the way, I know that when you were in Russia you hired a car and drove it a few days. Was it very difficult to drive on the right?

David:
Oh, it was very difficult at first. It was necessary to con­centrate... especially when I wanted to overtake. But the hardest were roundabouts. Well, you know, we Englishmen have always driven on the left and are accustomed to that.

Anton:
Did you usuaully find the ways very easily?

David:
I wouldn't say so. Once it was terrible. I was in a traffic jam for an hour and then I got lost. But finally everything was all right. I should let bygones be bygones.

Anton:
I always wonder how fast your cars and buses go along these narrow streets. It is fantastic. You must be all very good drivers!

There are speed limits — 30 or 40 miles per hour in or near towns in England and 70mph on motorways. The driver must wear a seat belt and so must the front seat passenger. Two yellow lines on the load mean no parking. One yellow line means parking is restiicted. In some big towns the car may be clamped and towed away if it is parked illegally. It is very expensive to get the car back. All the rules and regulations on driving are fully described in The Highway Code.

Petrol stations or garages are often self-service. The driver can select 4 star (super), unleaded petrol or diesel from the automatic pump and pay the cashier. If the pump is not automatic there is an attendant to help.

Windsor and Eton

Text

On Sunday morning thegroup started on an excursion for Windsor by coach.

Windsor lies 34 km west of London and is famous, first and foremost for Windsor Castle, the residence of the royal family Many parts of this historic castle are open to the public while some other parts are always closed and some are closed when the royal family is in residence.

The site of Windsor Castle was fust defended by William the Conqueror in 1070 and for the next 900 years the building was con­tinually enlarged, growing from a medieval castle to a vast and com­plex royal palace.

The most impressive of all the castle buildings is St. Geoige's Chapel, a masterpiece of perpendicular Gothic architecture. The State Apartments, which are closed to the public, comprise 16 rooms, and each is a treasure house of superb furniture, porcelain, and armour The rooms are decorated with carvings by Grinling, Gibbons, ceilings by Venio and works from the royal collections. They include Van Dyck's paintings

The star attraction, open to the public, is Queen Mary's Doll's House, designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and given to the nation in 1923. The furnishings are designed at one-twelfth lifesize.

Part of Windsor Central Railway Station has now been converted to a waxworks museum iun by Madame Tussaud's, recreating the scene in 1879 when a special train arrived here to celebrate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. Queen Victoria, the longest ruling monarch in Britain, who lived in 1837-1901, symbolises the unity of the nation, the British Empire and the progress of the nation in the nineteenth centuiy.

After visiting Windsor the group walked to Eton. They went along Thames Street from Windsor Castle down to the river, where Windsor Bridge took them to Eton, Windsor's twin town, on the northern bank. Eton is the home of Eton college, the public school that has produced no fewer than 20 prime ministers. It was term time and they saw a lot of students around, dressed in their distinctive tail coats and wing collars.

Payments in international trade

Text

On Monday morning the participants resumed their work and listened to the lecture on payments in international trade.

Here is a part of the lecture:

With any form of international trade it is essential to ensure that payment will be received in accordance with the terms of the un­derlying commercial contract. The most secure and established methods of settling international trade transactions are:

• by documentary letters of credit and

• by documentary collection bills.

Documentary letters of credit are opened by the importer's bank with a bank in the exporter's country, usually the importing bank's correspondent in the exporting country. Exporters submit to the bank in their country all the shipping, insurance and other docu­ments specified in the letter of credit issued by the importer's bank. If the documents are in order the bank in the exporting country will credit the exporters with the proceeds. The proceeds are reim­bursed-by the importer's bank in due course.

Documentary collection bills are presented to the importer's bank or its correspondent by the exporters together with all the shipping, insurance and other documents, specified in the contract. If the documents are in order the importers instruct their bank to pay and they collect the shipping documents then.

There are a few ways of transferring money from bank to bank. In the recent past these ways were:

• mail transfers and

• telegraphic transfers.

Now these two types of messages are practically replaced by SWIFT messages. SWIFT stands for the Society for Worldwide Inter­bank Financial Telecommunication. It is a network serving now more than 3,000 banks in about 100 countries. It speeds up payment messages between banks immensely. If sending and receiving banks are both 'logged-in', a message can be delivered in under 20 seconds. Over 1 million messages are sent every day via the computers of SWIFT and its member banks.

The role of correspondent banks is permanently growing. They facilitate and expedite international payments. A correspondent bank is one which carries a deposit balance for another bank lo­cated in another city or country and engages in an exchange of services with that bank.

Mass media

Text

The British are a nation of newspaper readers. Many of them have a daily paper delivered to their home just in time for bieakfast.

British newspapers can be divided into two groups: quality and popular. Quality newspapers are more serious and cover home and foreign news thoughtfully while the popular newspapers like shocking, personal stories as well as some news. These two groups of newspapers can be distinguished easily because the quality papers are twice the size of the popular newspapers.

• Quality daily newspapers:

The Times

The Guardian

The Daily Telegraph

The Financial Times

The Independent

• Quality Sunday newspapers:

The Sunday Times

The Observer

The Sunday Telegraph

•
Popular daily newspapers:

The News of the World

The People

The Mail on Sunday

The Sunday Mirror

The Sunday Express

British newspapers are often associated with Fleet Street, located in Westminster City of London. Fleet Street was the home of the nation's newspapers till the recent past. But not long ago practically all the newspapers moved their headquarters to Docklands, a newly developed business centre in the eastern part of London. Only two newspapers The Daily Express
and The Daily Telegraph
are still in Fleet Street. However, people still say 'Fleet Street' to mean 'the press'.

Watching television is one of the great British pastimes! Broad­casting in the United Kingdom is controlled by the British Broad­casting Corporation (ВВС) and the Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA). The ВВС receives its income from the Government, but the private companies controlled by the IBA earn money from advertising. The ВВС has two TV channels. The IBA is responsible for looking after the regional independent TV companies who broad­cast their own programmes and those they have bought from other regions.

National radio is controlled by the ВВС, and listeners can choose between four stations. There are many local stations, some private and some run by theВВС. Their programmes consist mainly of music and local news.

Financial news

Text

Here is an item on financial news published by The Financial Times
which some participant read:

DOLLAR AND POUND RISE

The dollar and the pound resumed their advances of 1996 against the yen and the D-Mark yesterday.

The US currency was helped chiefly by the US stock and bond markets, which rebounded from Thursday's falls.

The dollar was also boosted by US construction spending for November, which rose where a fall had been forecast. The figures added to the evidence of recent weeks that the American economy has resumed stronger growth. "The US deceleration is probably coming to an end", said Mr. Peter von Maydell, senior currency economist at UBS in London.

The dollar gained 1,5 pfennigs against the D-Mark and YO.5 against the yen to close in London at D.M. 1.557 and Y11.2. But the Tokyo market remained closed for the National Holiday.

Sterling rebounded 2.8 pfennigs against the D-Mark after losing 3 pfennigs on Thursday. With trading thin, dealers say that one sale of GBP 50m worth of D-Marks sent sterling about a pfennig higher.

The pound closed in London at DM2.635 to the German cur­rency and USD 1.692 to the dollar. It gained on strong consumer credit data and on rising oil prices

Sterling has been the strongest major currency over the Holiday period appreciating almost 2 per cent.

A visit to Oxford

Text

On the eve of their departure to Moscow the participants had some free time and Mr. Hill proposed they should make a trip to Oxford.

Oxford, first and foremost, is known for its University. The Uni­versity began itself in the middle of the 12th century, and by 1300 there were already 1,500 students. At this time, Oxford was a wealthy town, but by the middle of the 14th century, it was poorer, because of a decline in trade and because of the terrible plague, which killed many people in England.

Relations between the students and the townspeople were very unfriendly, and there was often fighting in the streets. On the 10th February 1355, the Festival of St. Scholastica, a battle began which lasted two days. Sixty-two students were killed. The townspeople were punished for this in two ways: they had to walk through the town to attend a special service on every St Scholastica's day until 1825. Worse than this, the University was given control of the town for nearly 600 years.

Nowadays there are about 12,000 students in Oxford, and the University and the town live quietly side by side.

When the coach came to Oxford the participants bought some colourful books on Oxford, maps and some souvenirs. Then they went sightseeing and stopped near Trinity College.

Tat
jana:
The college looks great. I wonder how old it is.

David:
I myself am an Oxford graduate but I don't remember when exactly it was founded. Let's look in the guide book. Oh, it was started in 1315.

Tatjana:
Is it the oldest college?

David:
Oh, no. Jesus College and some others are much older.

Tat
jana
It's very beautiful. I'd like to study here. Is the chapel open to the public?

David
:
Yes, it is. Let's go and look. The choir of this college is famous in England They sing on TV every year at Christmas

Good-bye to London

Text

In the evening Mr. Hill invited all the participants to a farewell party at the Beefeater restaurant near the Tower of London. In general Beefeaters are warders of the Tower, dressed as in the days of the Tudor kings. The restaurant is famous for its medieval ages per­formance and the spirit of the time. It's like a costume drama with the history of England unfolding before the eyes of the guests. The participants enjoyed the performance immensely, had a very nice meal and a few drinks. A few toasts were pronounced like these:

To the success of our business!

To our prosperous business! Cheers!

To your very good health!

There were also many thanks like these:

Thank you very much for having us.

Thank you for the nice stay we had here in London.

We were very happy here. Thank you very much.

Everything was unforgettable. I thank you a lot.

We 've really enjoyed the visit.

In the morning the Group checked out and the coach took them to the Heathrow Airport. There was no queueing up they checked in very quickly and went upstairs to the Passport Control point. Here they said good-bye and expressed thanks to Mr. Hill. In reply he said many kind words and wished them a safe journey.

The journey back home was really very smooth and enjoyable. A few days later Pete Smirnov, General Director of Economtraining, sent the following letter to Mr. Hill:

Dear Mr. Hill,

Let me thank you and your esteemed company on behalf of the Group and our company for the hearty atmosphere of their stay in London, for very informative lectures and very useful external visits they had. They also thank you heartily for the chances to do some business of their own and to make a few visits they had planned. I hope that we shall ar­range similar programmes in future as well to the satisfaction of our both parties.

Let me send you and your family my best wishes for Christmas and a very prosperous New Year.

Yours faithfully,

Pete Smirnov
