Задание 1. Прочитайте и переведите диалог «Getting an Appointment »

When being on business in London Mr. Sedov, a representative of Russianimport, made an appointment with the manager of the firm to take the matter up with him personally.

Sedov: Good afternoon, Mr. Black. I asked for an appointment with you as we are dissatisfied with the way your goods are sent. We've written to you several times detailing our complaints. You have expressed regret, but things haven't improved.

Black: Sorry, I haven't got your file here, so wouldn't you tell me now what you complain of?

Sedov: The main complaint is that we never get the goods on time. It's annoying to tell the customers that the suppliers are not responsible for delivery. I should say the delays are not very serious but frequent.

Black: The problem is that the port of London is often hit by strikes. We can assure you we are doing our best to keep to a delivery schedule.

Sedov: I see. But I have to remind you that we'll charge a penalty if the delay exceeds a week.

Black: We'll do everything possible to avoid delays in future.

Sedov: That sounds encouraging. But there is another difficulty. Unfortunately, we have more breakages than we should have. The cases are securely nailed but your packers seem to be responsible for inadequate packing of the goods inside.

Black: Have you taken this up with the transport people?

Sedov: Yes, they are of the opinion that the original packing is to blame. (Все дело в заводской упаковке)

Black: I'm sorry you've had these problems. I'll go into that with our packing department.

Sedov: Good. Thank you for your cooperation.
