7. Прочитайте и переведите диалог.

Victor Klimenko is at the exhibition which is being held in London. The stand of one of the American companies has attracted his attention. At the moment he is talking to Mrs Foster, the Sales Manager of the company.

— Good afternoon, Mrs Foster. I'm a Commercial Director of one of the Ukrainian companies. Here's my card.

— Good afternoon, Mr Klimenko. Have you seen our advertising materials?

— Yes. Your Stand-Attendant gave them to me.

— Does our new process equipment interest you?

— Yes. We are looking for new machinery for our factory in Kiev. We need to decide what equipment to buy.

— Our new equipment is not a bad choice, Mr Klimenko. It corresponds to the highest technical level and the highest standards existing in the world.

— But your company has not been well-known until recent times.

— You're right. Our company was viewed as a company that was good only for some things. That's changed. Now we're respected as a company as capable as Continental Equipment in our field.

— I was impressed by the performance of your equipment. I've seen a lot of similar systems at the exhibition ... but your equipment outperforms them.

— We've worked hard and we've achieved some success, Mr Klimenko.
