I’ll just phone through to Mr McKenzie and tell h im you’re here. (Phoning Mr McKenzie) Hello Mr McKenzie? Nellie Hamilton is here for you in reception. Shall I send her through?.... Oh right. Thanks very much. (to Nellie) He’s going to e and collect you –if you’d like to wait over there? Would you like any tea or coffee while you’re waiting?Nellie: Er, no thanks. I’m fine. Er, just between ourselves, what is Mr McKenzie like?Receptionist: Ah yes, it’s your first day here isn’t it?Nellie: That’s right.Receptionist: Well to be honest, I don’t get to see much of the staff from where I am out here. But everyone seems to like Mr McKenzie, and he’s been in a particularly good mood lately I think.Nellie: Oh, why’s that?Receptionist: His wife’s going to have a baby.They’ve left it a bit l ate –she’s in her forties andhe’s over fifty I think – so they are both over the moon that it’s happened at last.Nellie: Oh I see, well that sounds encouraging at least…Malcolm: Ah, you must be Nellie Hamilton. Wele to the Biscuit Barrel!Nellie: Thank you very much Mr McKenzie.Malcolm: Oh, call me Malcolm please. We’re all going to be working very closely on this new project and it’s first-name terms from here on.Nellie: Right, er Malcolm.Malcolm: Shall we go through to my office? There are some people you need to meet straight away.Nellie: Yes of course.Malcolm: Right this way then.(In the general office)Malcolm: So this is the general office, and my officeis right at the end there. How are you finding things uphe re? A bit different from London and the south, isn’t it?Nellie: Yes, but I’ve got some family up here, so I know the area quite well. I used to e on holidays here all through my school days. And I'm staying with them now, just until I find my feet and somewhere to live a bit nearer the factory.Malcolm: Oh, I see. And here’s my office. So, take a seat.Nellie: Thanks.Malcolm: So Nellie Hamilton. Here we are. Now as you know, you’ve been sent up by our London office to help us on the project management of the launch of this new product range. You were in London for how long?Nellie: Well a little over eighteen months I think. Idid an MA in marketing over in Canada, in Toronto, and went straight from there to a work placement in the BiscuitBarrel London office for six months. Luckily they liked me and made me permanent about a year ago. And I’ve been helping them with product strategy and placement since then.Malcolm: Well we hope that’s going to e in very useful in your time with us up h ere. You know about “Country Crumbles”, don’t you?Nellie: Well, there was quite a lot of talk going on in the London office about a new product range but I can’tsay I know any of the details of "Country Crumbles", no.Malcolm: No, of course not. We ll, we’ve got a big meeting tomorrow morning and that should help you fill in some of the blanks, and also allow you to meet a lot of the colleagues you’ll be working with.Nellie: Great!Malcolm: But there’s one person you ought to meet straight away. Ja, can you ask Andrea Mueller to e in here please? Thanks. Andrea Mueller is going to be your own secretary and PA. She’s from Austria, and started with us here about two years ago.Nellie: From Austria?Malcolm: Yes, her husband's Scottish, you see. Oh, don’t worry, her English is perfect, and she really knows our business and all the people in the firm. I hope she’ll be a big help in getting you started in the pany.Nellie: Right.Malcolm: And there are some other people you’ll need to mee t pretty soon. Like Lee Chung, for one. He’s our Finance Officer and Head Aountant. He’s from Hong Kong originally but has been over here since 1995. Like you, he was sent up here from the London office – our previous Finance Officer left rather suddenly I’m afraid, and that was about three years ago. You’ll like Lee, I’m sure. He’s about the same age as you and is very enthusiastic and imaginative – not always the case with the finance boys! I’m sure he’ll be very supportive in your plans for the new produ ct launch. Apart from Lee, you’ll need to meet up with Kevin Whittaker, he’s our Head of Sales and another live wire. And of course there’s Maria Esposito, she’s our Public Relations and Press officer, so she’sprobably the person you’ll be most in contact with when you’re working out your wee schemes for the publicity of the new brand...Nellie: OK.Andrea: Hello Mr McKenzie. Can I e in?Malcolm: Yes, of course Andrea. I’d like you to meet Nellie Hamilton, who you are going to be reporting to from now on.Nellie: Hello Andrea. It’s very nice to meet you.Andrea: And to meet you, Ms Hamilton.Nellie: Oh, Nellie, please. We’re going to be working together all the time, so let’s drop the formalities right from the start. It’s Nellie, OK?M alcolm: Right you two, you’ve got a lot to talk about. Andrea, could you take Nellie to her office and show her around. She’ll need to know where everything is – right from the staff car parking bays to where the loos are!Andrea: Yes, of course, Mr McKenzie.Malcolm: Oh and can you tell her about the staff restaurants as well? We don’t want you fainting on the job from lack of sustenance, do we?!Andrea: Right.Malcolm: So Nellie, I’ll let you and Andrea settle in for today. As I said, there’s the big meeting tomorrow at11.00 so you’ve a lot to take on board before then. I’d better let you get on with it!Nellie: Yes, well, thanks very much Mr..., er Malcolm. I’ll see you tomorrow then.Malcolm: Right you are. Have a good day, both of you.Both: Thanks, Malcolm/Mr McKenzie.Andrea: So, er, Nellie, let’s go through to our office. It’s over there in the far corner.Nellie: OK Andrea. And on the way could we pick up acup of coffee? I think it’s going to be a busy day!。

Video 1Z: Good morning, Mr. Ankle, Nice to see you again. How may I help you?A: Nice to see you, too. I've come to talk about some modifications we need on our last order, the one we gave you two days ago.Z: Fine, but I hope you aren't worried about the quality. As I said on the telephone, you can rest assured that our quality is unsurpassed.We are a prestigious company in our industry with more than 20 years' experience. A: Yes, of course. Your quality, specifications and styles are great. But, I want to alter some aspects of the packaging. You know, we pay a lot of attention to packaging. Z: Of course. Our usual practice for the products you ordered is, first, to put them into a transparent plastic wrapper as inner packaging.Then, to put these into a cardboard box, or wooden case is you prefer, as outer packaging. Do you want to change the inner or outer packaging?A: Cardboard boxes are all right with us. They're usually used in long-distance shipments and they seem safe. It's the inner packaging we have a problem with. Z: Using plain plastic wrappers protects the product and it saves on cost.A: But we need it to be decorative as well. There needs to be a proper design and some color to make it attractive to European tastes.I have the design here on this CD--it's a PDF file.Z: That's fine. In that case, do you want us to provide a polythene wrapper?A: Yes, with the design on both sides. Thank you.Z: Ok. I know packaging is important for sales. Attractive packaging will attract customers.The outer packaging only concerns the importers. But I have to say, the changes will increase the cost.A: By how much?Z: About 6%,I thank. I'll have to confirm that with you.A: That's ok. But please put design of different color in each box to make it more convenient for us to distribute to our retailers.Z: Sure, I'll write that down now. Do you have any other requirements on packaging? A: Well, just one more thing. Please remember to put our logo on each cardboard box. The logo is also on the CD. Please follow the pattern and color exactly.Z: Of course. Can I keep the CD?A: Certainly. That's all I want to confirm with you. But we should make a revision to the draft contract. Do you have anything you need to talk to me about?Z: No, everything is fine. We'll get on to our packing department to make the changes as per your requirements.If you would care to wait for a moment, my assistant will prepare the formal order so that we can sign it immediately.A: Great. You're very efficient.Video 2B: Good morning. I'm Mrs. Becker from bran gifts.We gave you an order for Christmas gifts on the third day of the trade fair. Do you remember?T: Of course, Nice to see you again, Mrs. Becker. Have a seat, please.We've faxed you the draft contract, right?B: Yes, I went through it very carefully yesterday.A nd I have some points to discuss with you.T: Ok, no problem. Let's get the draft printed out and go over the details in the meeting room.B: First, there's a spelling mistake in our company's address: BRAN GIFTS COMPANY, F21-26 Business Building, World Trade Plaza, Toronto, Canada.It's B-R-A-N, not BRAIN; and World Trade Plaza instead of World Trade Centre. T: I'm sorry about that, I guess it was a typing error, but I should have noticed it.B: No problem. Let's confirm the commodities I ordered and the prices we settled on.All together, there are six item numbers: ZWS10A, ZWS10B, ZWS10c, ZWS10D, G35 and XG7.We want 1000 cartons of each.There's no problem with the price of the first four -- US$6 per piece.But I remember we agreed the price for G35 and XG7 at US$18 and US$21.50 respectively, but it says differently on the draft.T: Oh, you're right. I must have forgotten that we changed them to CIF Toronto at US$18 and US$21.50 from the original FOB Shanghai at US$14 and US$17.50 at the end of our last negotiation.I'll ask my secretary to make the changes. I apologize for my bad memory.I must be getting old, Any other problems?B: Never mind. I think everything is alright with the packaging.First, you'll put the jelly candles in a brown box and then put the brown box in a carton.But please make sure each jelly candle is wrapped with foil.T: OK, and all the goods must arrive in Toronto before September 10, 2005, right? B: Yes, and as per last discussion, the insurance will be covered by your side with 110% of the invoice value against all risks.T: Yes, we have stipulated is clearly here. And you see, we made changes in the terms of payment.Previously, you said that payment is to be made by D/P. This is not our practice.We prefer to have the payment made by a confirmed , irrevocable letter of credit.This must reach us by the end of august and will remain valid until the 15th day after the date of shipment.B: Since that's your general practice. We'll accept it.One last thing I want to remind you to please provide us with the quality and quantity inspection certificate issued by the China Commodity Inspection Bureau. T: But we discussed the quality and quantity certificate before.You can be sure that we always honor contracts. Our commercial integrity is dependent on that.B: I know your products have a good reputation.But what do we do if the goods are found broken or short on arrival?This is the best way to safeguard us all.T: If you require that, we can give it to you. However, I assure you that it's not likely to happen.Our goods must be up to export standards before the inspection bureau lets them pass.B: I have every confidence that we will have a successful and long-term working relationship.Everything seems clear now.T: Ok, then we'll revise the contract tonight and get it ready for you to sign tomorrow morning. Is that ok?B: That will be fine, thank you.。

Unit 12Section I Listening Skills PromotionA．Listening Strategy：Drawing InferencesThe ability to draw correct inference from what we have heard is an important skill in listening comprehension because sometimes a speaker does not state directly what he/she intends to say but implies it instead. A speaker’s attitude towards what he/she discusses, in particular, often has to be inferred from the hints he/she has dropped. So we must learn to synthesize all these so as to get a whole picture about what is being discussed. In addition, we can rely on the speaker’s choice of words to help us: the use of words of positive, negative or neutral meaning can indicate a positive, negative or neutral attitude respectively.1. Who started the ideal of creating a machine that was later called the “walkman”?2. Why did he want his engineers to make such a machine?3. What did Morita have in mind as the market for his Walkman from the very beginning?4. Why did his engineers object to calling the machine “Walkman”?5.
