Unit 5 The global warningThe North Pole has been frozen for 100,000 years。

But according to scientists, that won’t be true by the end of this century. The top of the world is melting。

There’s been a debate burning for years about the causes of global war ming. But the scientists you're about to meet say the debate is over. New evidence shows man is contributing to the warming of the planet，pumping out greenhouse gases that trap solar heat。

Much of this new evidence was compiled by American scientist Bob Corell, who led a study called the ”Arctic Climate Impact Assessment." It’s an awkward name — but consider the findings: the seas are rising, hurricanes will be more powerful, like Katrina，and polar bears may be headed toward extinction.What does the melting arctic look like? Correspondent Scott Pelley went north to see what Bob Corell calls a "global warning."Towers of ice the height of 10—story buildings rise on the coast of Greenland. It's the biggest ice sheet in the Northern Hemisphere, measuring some 700,000 square miles。

We all know how ships are born, how majestic vessels are nudged into the ocean with a bottle of champagne. But few of us know how they die. And hundreds of ships meet their death every year. From five-star ocean liners, to grubby freighters, literally dumped with all their steel, their asbestos, their toxins on the beaches of some the poorest countries in the world, countries like Bangladesh.You can't really believe how bad it is here, until you see it. It could be as close as you'll get to hell on earth, with the smoke, the fumes, and the heat. The men who labor here are the wretched of the earth, doing dirty, dangerous work, for little more than $1 a day.It's not much of a final resting place, this desolate beach near the city of Chittagong on the Bay of Bengal. Ships are lined up here as at any port, but they'll never leave. Instead, they will be dissected, bolt by bolt, rivet by rivet, every piece of metal destined for the furnaces to be melted down and fashioned into steel rods. The ships don't die easily - they are built to float, not to be ripped apart, spilling toxins, oil and sludge into the surrounding seas.The men who work here are dwarfed by the ships they are destroying. And they dissect the ships by hand. The most sophisticated technology on the beach is a blowtorch. The men carry metal plates, each weighing more than a ton from the shoreline to waiting trucks, walking in step like pallbearers, or like members of a chain gang. They paint images of where they would like to be on the trucks - pictures of paradise far from this wasteland.And when night falls, the work continues and the beach becomes an inferno of smoke and flames and filth.This industry, which employs thousands and supplies Bangladesh with almost all its steel, began with an accident - a cyclone to be precise. In 1965, a violent storm left a giant cargo ship beached on what was then a pristine coastline. It didn't take long before people began ripping the ship apart. They took everything and businessmen took note - perhaps they didn't need a storm to bring ships onto this beach here.Mohammed Mohsin's family has become extremely wealthy bringing ships onto these beaches. He pays millions of dollars for each ship and makes his profit from the steel he sells. The name of his company is PHP, which stands for Peace, Happiness and Prosperity.His latest acquisition is a ship weighing in at 4,000 tons but Mohsin tells Simon that's small by comparison to other vessels that have been gutted on the beaches. They have handled ships as large as 68,000 tons.This the first time Mohsin has seen the 4,000 ton ship close up. In fact buying a shipis not at all like buying a car. He didn't even need to see a picture before he bought it for $14 million. All he needed to know was its weight and how much the owners were charging for each ton of steel.One of the single most valuable parts of the ship is the propeller. The "small" ships propeller is worth around $35,000 alone, Mohsin estimates.It may be a small ship to Mohsin, but getting onto it from the beach is still a bit delicate.Mohsin's ships don't have seafaring captains anymore - he is the captain now of dying ships and the captain of one of the largest of 30 shipyards on this 10-mile stretch of beach. Some 100 ships are ripped apart on the beach each year, most of them from the west."It is the west's garbage dump," says Roland Buerk, who lives in Bangladesh. He spent a year in these yards, writing a book about the industry. 60 Minutes hired him to guide Simon through the tangled world of shipbreaking.To do the same work in America or England would be very expensive."It would be because in Europe and America when they do this, they do it in dry docks," Buerk explains. "So in actual fact, the owners of these ships are selling them to the yard owners here to break up. If they had to do it in America, they'd have to pay for that process to be carried out. So you see it makes real economic sense to do it here.""So old, out-dated ships that were previously a liability, are now an asset," Simon remarks."Exactly," Buerk agrees. "And that's why they end up on these shores."They are the shores of the most densely populated nation and one of the poorest nations in the world. Bangladesh desperately needs steel for construction but has no iron ore mines. The shipbreaking yards are its mines, providing 80 percent of the nation's steel.But steel is only part of the deal; there are so many things on a ship which are sold off. It is in fact a gigantic recycling operation.You can find everything, including kitchen sinks, at a sprawling roadside market which goes on for miles. When you're driving down this road, it's not a problem if you need a toilet or a life boat or a light bulb. It is estimated that 97 percent of the ship's contents are recycled. The other three percent, the stuff nobody would buy, including the hazardous waste, asbestos, arsenic and mercury, are left behind to foul the beaches."And what we're looking at, which is a recycling operation, is also an environmental disaster," Simon says."That's true. And I think this is really capitalism as red in tooth and claw as it gets. At the moment this is what makes financial sense for everybody. And this is, despite the fact that we might not like it, and it doesn't look pretty, this is how it's done," Buerk says.The workers toil in tough conditions. They have no unions, no safety equipment, and no training. About 50 are said to die in accidents each year; often in explosions set off by blowtorches deep inside the fume-filled holds.You see casualties in the yards, men who were injured here but have no money to go anywhere else. The workers are housed in barracks with no beds, just steel plates scavenged from the ships they break.Many of the workers are not old enough to grow a beard. Some are, quite simply, children. 60 Minutes spoke to several who said they were 14 and had been working here for two years.So what does the man from Peace Happiness and Prosperity say about that?Asked if there are any children working in his yard, Mohsin says, "Not my yard.""Well, we talked to several children," Simon tells Mohsin. "We found a couple who were 14 and said they'd been working there for a couple of years.""They are - if they are working - if they don't work, what they'll do, then? Our government cannot afford it. Their food, shelter and clothing has to be provided by someone whether their parents or the government. None of them can afford it. So what they gonna do?" Mohsin argues."So, you say that child labor is inevitable, necessary in Bangladesh?" Simon asks."If they don't work in ship-breaking yard, they'll work somewhere else. They have to," Mohsin replies.But child labor is only one of the issues. Environmentalists have been doing battlewith the industry for years. They say the west has no business dumping its toxic waste on impoverished lands in the east. They condemn the appalling work conditions, the low pay, and the lack of accountability for workers who are killed or injured. Their most important proposal: that ships be cleaned of their toxic materials in the west, before they sail to Bangladesh.That's in line with an international ban which prohibits the shipment of hazardous waste from rich countries to poorer countries.Rezwana Hasan of the Bangladeshi Environmental Lawyers Association is in the forefront of the battle against the industry. She says the shipbreaking yards in Bangladesh don't respect even the most minimal environmental standards."And an industry that can't comply with these minimum standards must not operate," she argues. "I mean if you can't comply with the - if you can't pay your worker the minimum wage, you can't operate. You can't - if you can't ensure the minimum environmental safeguard you shouldn't operate."But the owners of the yards argue that environmentalism is a luxury, reserved for the rich nations."It becomes quite expensive, which we can't afford," Mohsin claims."If all the rules and regulations, all the international conventions regarding ship breaking were observed here, would the industry be able to survive?" Simon asks Mohsin,"No," he replies. "It would be stopped from tomorrow. It'll stop. Has to be stopped." And that, he says, would put 30,000 men out of work and deprive Bangladesh of its source of steel.But for now the shipbreaking industry in Bangladesh is sailing full steam ahead. Literally. 60 Minutes boarded a Russian fishing trawler, the Bata, in the final hours of its last voyage.It was eerie walking through the corridors. The lights were on but nobody was home. It was a dead ship sailing.In a sailor's cabin, the sheets were on the bed, a radio and a flashlight were on the table. In the kitchen, there were pots filled with borscht and potatoes that were barely cold.In the dining room there were still Russian books on a table. They too will end up inthe market on that dusty road to Chittagong. There was just a skeleton crew on this skeleton shipUp on the bridge, Captain Edwaard Petenko already seemed dressed up for his coming vacation. He had brought the ship all the way from Vladivostok and didn't enjoy the trip.Asked what it feels like taking the ship to the beach, Petenko tells Simon, "No like.""No like. Sometimes even cry. Becaus e…" Capt. Petenko says.He wasn't even in charge any more. The baton had passed to the beaching captain, Enam Chowdrey. He had done this 700 times. They call him the executioner.Beaching a ship is a very delicate operation. It's not simply aiming for the beach - Chowdrey has to calculate the movement of the tides, the swell, the wind, by the minute. In this instance, he has got to wedge the ship between two other vessels already parked there.The workers on ships nearby are cheering. The Bata's arrival means more work, more wages for them. Their backs and their lungs will suffer, but do they have a choice? The Bata steamed its way into its final resting place. The bow got stuck in the sand. A perfect end to the last voyage. In just a few months, it will disappear.And Captain Petenko? He'll head home to Vladivostock. But he'll be back in Bangladesh soon. His company has three more trawlers heading to these shipyards. U.S. Naval and Merchant Marine ships no longer wind up in these yards, not since 1998, when President Clinton passed a moratorium on exporting U.S. ships. Instead, they clog up American waterways. U.S. ship breakers can't keep pace and the Bangladeshis would be only to happy to have their business.。

Ancient Egyptians knew that death was inevitable—all living things eventually die— but in an attempt to make the afterlife as comfortable as possible, mummies were accompanied by things they would need in the future. The items buried with ancient Egyptians represented important aspects of their daily lives— everything from furniture to cooking oil. They believed that in the afterlife, these items became real and useful to the dead person. That idea may not seem rational nowadays, but ancient Egyptians didn’t distinguish between human needs before and after death. They even mummified pieces of meat to represent the food the dead person would need.

I will not apply for a scholarship because it is too hard to get it. I think I’ll be able to support myself by working part-time. In my view, money is veryimportant though it is not everything.So most probably I’ll study business. I hope I can make it big after graduation.2. I’m Jill. I’m going to join a sorority. I want to make more friends of the same sex. I think that women should be united and should always help each other. I’m going to d o volunteer work in my spare time to help those elderly ladies in the community with their errands. I’m not going to a large university since I can’t afford it.3.

I’m working part-time at a video store because I need to save money for my studies abroad.I have a boyfriend and he wants to go and study in the United States too. We have similar interests and personalities. I’m going to get married and live in a house by the ocean. Sooner or later, I’ll have my own children. I will most probably stay at home to be a full-time mother before my children are sixteen years old. To witness their growth would be the most valuable thing in my life.Listening Activity 4: Audio Track 3-5-8/Audio Track 3-5-9New graduates talk about the futureAfter the City College graduation ceremony yesterday, we talked to three students about their plans and their dreams.Here is what Jameela Brown had to say about her future:I worked so hard for four years. I need a break now! I majored in biology and chemistry, and I hada summer job in a day care center. I’m going to take a year off before I start medical school. My plan is to travel and do volunteer work in West Africa. I’ll be a doctor someday but I’m not sure what kind of doctor I’ll be.Jennie Min talked about her plans:I studied business, and it was easy for me to find a job. Next month I’ll move to New Y ork to start work at Giant Corporation. But I don’t really want to spend my whole life working for a company.I hope I can start my own business. Maybe something with food. I love cooking! In college, I cooked dinner for my roommates every night.Shane Peterson told us about his big dream:Wow! Four years really went fast. I c an’t believe it’s graduation day! My major was computer science, but I spent all my free time playing music. I played guitar in two different bands. I also play electronic music, using computers. I have job interviews with three software companies nextwee k. I’m not worried about getting a job, but I really want to play music, too. That’s my biggest dream.Listening Activity 5: Audio Track 3-5-10/Audio Track 3-5-11Interviewer: We now have a winner! Stephanie Lee from V ancouver, Canada answered our ques tions and won the top prize: She will be our youth travel reporter in Europe! She’s going to travel for three months and write about her experiences for our website. Do you have any international travel experience?Stephanie: Y es, I do. Two years ago, I spent the summer in Hong Kong, China. I stayed with my grandmother and worked in the family business. I also visited Africa last year.Interviewer: What do your travel experiences tell us about you?Stephanie: I stayed in Hong Kong for about two months. I think that shows I can stay away from home for a long time. I don’t get homesick at all. In Africa, I went to Tanzania. The highlight was climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. It’s the highest mountain in Africa. The climb was very hard. Two people turned back before they reached the top. I made it all the way! Once I start something, I never give up.Interviewer: This job gives you a digital camera and pays your travel expenses. It doesn’t pay a salary. How will you get your spending money?Stephanie: I had a part-time job in a restaurant. I had worked there for two years. Fortunately, I saved a lot of money, so I won’t have to worry about money for my trip to Europe. Interviewer: Why should we choose you?Stephanie: Because I love to travel!

We all know how ships are born, how majestic vessels are nudged into the ocean with a bottle of champagne. But few of us know how they die. And hundreds of ships meet their death every year. From five-star ocean liners, to grubby freighters, literally dumped with all their steel, their asbestos, their toxins on the beaches of some the poorest countries in the world, countries like Bangladesh.You can't really believe how bad it is here, until you see it. It could be as close as you'll get to hell on earth, with the smoke, the fumes, and the heat. The men who labor here are the wretched of the earth, doing dirty, dangerous work, for little more than $1 a day.It's not much of a final resting place, this desolate beach near the city of Chittagong on the Bay of Bengal. Ships are lined up here as at any port, but they'll never leave. Instead, they will be dissected, bolt by bolt, rivet by rivet, every piece of metal destined for the furnaces to be melted down and fashioned into steel rods. The ships don't die easily - they are built to float, not to be ripped apart, spilling toxins, oil and sludge into the surrounding seas.The men who work here are dwarfed by the ships they are destroying. And they dissect the ships by hand. The most sophisticated technology on the beach is a blowtorch. The men carry metal plates, each weighing more than a ton from the shoreline to waiting trucks, walking in step like pallbearers, or like members of a chain gang. They paint images of where they would like to be on the trucks - pictures of paradise far from this wasteland.And when night falls, the work continues and the beach becomes an inferno of smoke and flames and filth.This industry, which employs thousands and supplies Bangladesh with almost all its steel, began with an accident - a cyclone to be precise. In 1965, a violent storm left a giant cargo ship beached on what was then a pristine coastline. It didn't take long before people began ripping the ship apart. They took everything and businessmen took note - perhaps they didn't need a storm to bring ships onto this beach here.Mohammed Mohsin's family has become extremely wealthy bringing ships onto these beaches. He pays millions of dollars for each ship and makes his profit from the steel he sells. The name of his company is PHP, which stands for Peace, Happiness and Prosperity.His latest acquisition is a ship weighing in at 4,000 tons but Mohsin tells Simon that's small by comparison to other vessels that have been gutted on the beaches. They have handled ships as large as 68,000 tons.This the first time Mohsin has seen the 4,000 ton ship close up. In fact buying a ship is not at all like buying a car. He didn't even need to see a picture before he bought itfor $14 million. All he needed to know was its weight and how much the owners were charging for each ton of steel.One of the single most valuable parts of the ship is the propeller. The "small" ships propeller is worth around $35,000 alone, Mohsin estimates.It may be a small ship to Mohsin, but getting onto it from the beach is still a bit delicate.Mohsin's ships don't have seafaring captains anymore - he is the captain now of dying ships and the captain of one of the largest of 30 shipyards on this 10-mile stretch of beach. Some 100 ships are ripped apart on the beach each year, most of them from the west."It is the west's garbage dump," says Roland Buerk, who lives in Bangladesh. He spent a year in these yards, writing a book about the industry. 60 Minutes hired him to guide Simon through the tangled world of shipbreaking.To do the same work in America or England would be very expensive."It would be because in Europe and America when they do this, they do it in dry docks," Buerk explains. "So in actual fact, the owners of these ships are selling them to the yard owners here to break up. If they had to do it in America, they'd have to pay for that process to be carried out. So you see it makes real economic sense to do it here.""So old, out-dated ships that were previously a liability, are now an asset," Simon remarks."Exactly," Buerk agrees. "And that's why they end up on these shores."They are the shores of the most densely populated nation and one of the poorest nations in the world. Bangladesh desperately needs steel for construction but has no iron ore mines. The shipbreaking yards are its mines, providing 80 percent of the nation's steel.But steel is only part of the deal; there are so many things on a ship which are sold off. It is in fact a gigantic recycling operation.You can find everything, including kitchen sinks, at a sprawling roadside market which goes on for miles. When you're driving down this road, it's not a problem if you need a toilet or a life boat or a light bulb. It is estimated that 97 percent of the ship's contents are recycled. The other three percent, the stuff nobody would buy, includingthe hazardous waste, asbestos, arsenic and mercury, are left behind to foul the beaches. "And what we're looking at, which is a recycling operation, is also an environmental disaster," Simon says."That's true. And I think this is really capitalism as red in tooth and claw as it gets. At the moment this is what makes financial sense for everybody. And this is, despite the fact that we might not like it, and it doesn't look pretty, this is how it's done," Buerk says.The workers toil in tough conditions. They have no unions, no safety equipment, and no training. About 50 are said to die in accidents each year; often in explosions set off by blowtorches deep inside the fume-filled holds.You see casualties in the yards, men who were injured here but have no money to go anywhere else. The workers are housed in barracks with no beds, just steel plates scavenged from the ships they break.Many of the workers are not old enough to grow a beard. Some are, quite simply, children. 60 Minutes spoke to several who said they were 14 and had been working here for two years.So what does the man from Peace Happiness and Prosperity say about that?Asked if there are any children working in his yard, Mohsin says, "Not my yard." "Well, we talked to several children," Simon tells Mohsin. "We found a couple who were 14 and said they'd been working there for a couple of years.""They are - if they are working - if they don't work, what they'll do, then? Our government cannot afford it. Their food, shelter and clothing has to be provided by someone whether their parents or the government. None of them can afford it. So what they gonna do?" Mohsin argues."So, you say that child labor is inevitable, necessary in Bangladesh?" Simon asks."If they don't work in ship-breaking yard, they'll work somewhere else. They have to," Mohsin replies.But child labor is only one of the issues. Environmentalists have been doing battle with the industry for years. They say the west has no business dumping its toxic waste on impoverished lands in the east. They condemn the appalling work conditions, the low pay, and the lack of accountability for workers who are killed or injured. Their most important proposal: that ships be cleaned of their toxic materials in the west,before they sail to Bangladesh.That's in line with an international ban which prohibits the shipment of hazardous waste from rich countries to poorer countries.Rezwana Hasan of the Bangladeshi Environmental Lawyers Association is in the forefront of the battle against the industry. She says the shipbreaking yards in Bangladesh don't respect even the most minimal environmental standards."And an industry that can't comply with these minimum standards must not operate," she argues. "I mean if you can't comply with the - if you can't pay your worker the minimum wage, you can't operate. You can't - if you can't ensure the minimum environmental safeguard you shouldn't operate."But the owners of the yards argue that environmentalism is a luxury, reserved for the rich nations."It becomes quite expensive, which we can't afford," Mohsin claims."If all the rules and regulations, all the international conventions regarding ship breaking were observed here, would the industry be able to survive?" Simon asks Mohsin,"No," he replies. "It would be stopped from tomorrow. It'll stop. Has to be stopped." And that, he says, would put 30,000 men out of work and deprive Bangladesh of its source of steel.But for now the shipbreaking industry in Bangladesh is sailing full steam ahead. Literally. 60 Minutes boarded a Russian fishing trawler, the Bata, in the final hours of its last voyage.It was eerie walking through the corridors. The lights were on but nobody was home. It was a dead ship sailing.In a sailor's cabin, the sheets were on the bed, a radio and a flashlight were on the table. In the kitchen, there were pots filled with borscht and potatoes that were barely cold.In the dining room there were still Russian books on a table. They too will end up in the market on that dusty road to Chittagong. There was just a skeleton crew on this skeleton shipUp on the bridge, Captain Edwaard Petenko already seemed dressed up for his coming vacation. He had brought the ship all the way from Vladivostok and didn'tenjoy the trip.Asked what it feels like taking the ship to the beach, Petenko tells Simon, "No like.""No like. Sometimes even cry. Because…" Capt. Petenko says.He wasn't even in charge any more. The baton had passed to the beaching captain, Enam Chowdrey. He had done this 700 times. They call him the executioner.Beaching a ship is a very delicate operation. It's not simply aiming for the beach - Chowdrey has to calculate the movement of the tides, the swell, the wind, by the minute. In this instance, he has got to wedge the ship between two other vessels already parked there.The workers on ships nearby are cheering. The Bata's arrival means more work, more wages for them. Their backs and their lungs will suffer, but do they have a choice? The Bata steamed its way into its final resting place. The bow got stuck in the sand. A perfect end to the last voyage. In just a few months, it will disappear.And Captain Petenko? He'll head home to Vladivostock. But he'll be back in Bangladesh soon. His company has three more trawlers heading to these shipyards. U.S. Naval and Merchant Marine ships no longer wind up in these yards, not since 1998, when President Clinton passed a moratorium on exporting U.S. ships. Instead, they clog up American waterways. U.S. ship breakers can't keep pace and the Bangladeshis would be only to happy to have their business.。

Unit5 No dad at home英教六班陈悠然V eronica103012009183 Question：How to prevent the psychological problems in a child growing up in a single parent family?After Joey’s presentation, I believe you already know numerous psychological problems in children from a singe parent family. However, is the problem really that inevitable? Is every child from a single parent family going to behave like that? The answer is definitely no.Now let’s see some pictures first. Are you familiar with all these people? They are president, brilliant educators, famous singers. But do you know，besides reputation, they still have something in common, that is , they all came from a single parent family. We can take a guess from these examples that although there can be considerable disadvantages for a single parent family, there are many ways parents can educate their children successfully on their own. If parents take the time to shower their kids with love, take the time to teach values, morals and essential coping skills, they will empower their children to be well adjusted and well behaved.Now that the psychological problems in a child growing up in a single parent family become a vital concern, we can look deeply into the precaution in three aspects.---- The single parents, schools and the children themselves.First is the part of single parents. Above all, they should cheer up from the failure of marriage and regain their confidence of life. The attitude of parents towards life would affect their children greatly. If the single parent always complains about life or dwells on the miserable past, their children would become more and more pessimistic about their future.Second, Single Parents should never hide the truth about family issues from children. They should answer questions about the other parent calmly and honestly. I don’t know whet her you remember Miss.Deaver, one of our foreign teachers. The topic reminded me that she said she has a step father, and it is very common in America if you have step parents, step sisters and even step grandparents. Single parent family is becoming more and more normal in western countries，even in China. The most important point is to view the phenomenon as a normal change. If parents lie about the truth about the break of their family, children may feel hurt more severely. The best choice is to tell them that although parents won’t live to gether anymore, they still love their kids.The next point for single parents will be——make up for thegender education of children. Children growing up in a single parent family usually lack the maternal or fatherly love. As a result, they may lack the female or male figures（偶像，英雄）to follow and then lack the directions of themselves. In this case, the single parents should try their best to make up for it. For example, a single mother can turn to the children’s uncle, male teacher, even the neighbors for help.The last but not the least, Single parents are supposed to pay more attention to the communication with their children. It is important for parents to listen to what their children are saying and keep close contact with them and the friends they choose. When strong relationships develop between single parents and their children, both the parents and the children benefit, and the outcome is better.From the aspect of children growing up in a single parent family themselves they can develop some kinds of positive hobbies as distraction (转移注意力的事物) Take Jay Chou as an example，he played piano even harder after his parents got divorced。

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 shouldmake 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 ofWorld 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.

❖ Robert Burn’s first book, Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect, was published in 1786—just one year after the first of his 14 children was born. The book contained Burns’ observation of the lives of ordinary people. He watched them doing farm work, going to church, and falling in love, and his humor and insights on everyday life made him a very popular writer. Robert Burns only lived to the age of 37, but he continues to have an influence on writers today.
