Stage One

Interlocutor:Good morning. My name is John Smith, and this is my colleague, Mary Clinton. And your names are Li Hua and Wang Wei?

Li: Yeah Wang: Yeah

Interlocutor:Thank you. Now, first of all, we'd like to know something about each of you. Mr. Li, can you tell me about yourself?

Li: My pleasure. As you know, my name is Li Hua. I'm from Jiangsu province.

I'm now studying in Suzhou University. And I'm majoring in

international trade there.

Interlocutor: Thank you. Mr Li. Now Mr. Wang, can you tell me about your ambitions?

Wang: Yes. I am now a student with Suzhou University majoring in business administration. I hope I can get my MBA and join a world-famous

multinational company. And after I have had enough experience, I am going to start a company of my own.

Interlocutor: Thank you, Mr. Wang. And Mr. Li, could you tell me about your ambitions?

Li:A big question for me indeed. I've never thought about it, but I bet I'll work towards a CEO of a big multinational corporation. That's my goal in life. And that's why I am spending so much time on English, business English in particular.

Interlocutor: Mr. Li, you said you're spending a lot of time on business English. Do you think business English is difficult to learn? Li: Not exactly, though it may be difficult at the initial stage. The thing is that you need to have some business knowledge before you start to learn business English.

Interlocutor: How about you, Mr. Wang? Is it difficult for you?

Wang: Not really. You know, I like English very much, and my major is business administration. So I have always found business English very

interesting.

Stage Two

The importance of having a good CV

Well, in my opinion, you can never underestimate the importance of having a

good CV. In themajority of cases, your CV is the employer's first impression

of you, your first chance to impress your potential employer, let's say. It

is the essential illustration of your suitability for the job, showing

how your skills and experience match your employer's requirements.

But more than that, it shows your ability to summarize, prioritize and present information effectively, essential skills in today's job market. It also shows

your linguistic and communicative abilities.

Even though employers these days use a variety of selection techniques, such

as analyzing your handwriting, a good CV is still the single most important

part of any application.

Stage Three

Time Management

Your company has found that ineffective time management is one of the major

problem areas throughout the workforce. You have been asked to put forward

some suggestions for improvingthe situation.

Discuss, and decide together:

------why poor time management can become a major problem in companies

------what procedures could be adopted to ensure that time is managed

effectively.

Zhang: Hi, Ms Wang, you know, our company is sort of out of control these days.

Don't you think so?

Wang: Yeah. Everything seems to be in disorder here in our company. And that obviously has a lot to do with poor time management.

Zhang: You mean poor time management has caused all these problems. Why? Wang: When time is not well planned within a company, they usually do not allocate blocks of time to specified tasks. They do not have a definite idea of when they should complete a certain task. And …Zhang: And I think they often neglect the ordering of priorities. I mean certain tasks need our prior attention. But in our company every task is treated on an equal basis, even if it is a very urgent task. Wang: That's the point. So time should be planned according to the importance of the tasks we need to deal with.

Zhang: So what do you think we can do so that time is managed effectively here in our company?

Wang: You mean what procedures we can adopt?

Zhang: Sure. That's what our boss is asking us to do. Right?

Wang: Right. I think we've got a lot to do. First, we should make all the staff members realize how important effective time management is to our company.

Zhang: Yes, I think we can give them instruction in time management, especially those in supervisory positions.

Wang: Right, perhaps we can run a few training programs for them. If need, we may invite some experts from outside to help us.

Zhang: Another thing we can do is to make all the managers, or even every staff member, come up with a job description of their own. In this way, they can be pretty sure about what they are responsible for and what they are not.

Wang: Yes, that's a good idea. And I think, the top managers of our company should come up with a set of rules as to what kind of jobs should be given priority to. In this way,we can make sure that important tasks are dealt with first.

Zhang:Good idea. So to sum up, our company should run a few training programs, and every staff member should write a job description of their own. Wang:And rules should be made as to what kind of job should be given priority to.

S. begin to realise that investors demand financial reporting to be truly presented: creative accounting is no longer acceptable. In response to the criticism about how it booked the gain on the sale of one of its businesses. IBM announced on Feb. 19th that it would expand the informaton it provides investors on such things as its intellectual-property income and the impact on earnings of the company's overfunded pension plan. And a day later, General Electric Co. Chairman and Chief Executive Jeffrey R. Immelt also pay heed to investors' calls for better disclosure by promising to provide more detail on how the company's individual units —including its finance departrment. GE Capital —churn out their earnings. B Expect this lifting of the veil to spread rapidly throughout corporate America, In the wake of Enron's collapse and questionable accounting at telecommunications companies such as Global Crossing Ltd., investors are demanding better. more frequent, and more expansive information about companies' financial health. This rising pressure will force executives in boardrooms across the country to wrestle with exactly how much new information to reveal, much less the question of how to flag changes for investors without causing their stocks to tank.
