Listening
Exercise 1
You are going to hear a talk between Peter Wiles and John Martin. Before you listen to the conversation look at these statements. After you have listened to the tape determine whether these statements are true (T) or false (F). Explain why.
|
1. |
Peter Wiles decided not to borrow John Martin’s tape recorder because he came to his office in person and dictated a long report to Jane. |
|
2. |
The reason why Peter asked John to spare him a second was a memo Peter sent him about the delivery delay on the console control desks. |
|
3. |
Peter thinks that everything has gone wrong with the steel sheets, which they need for the desks from new suppliers. These suppliers have got some trouble or other. They say they’ll be a bit late with delivery. |
|
4. |
It's a very important contract because those console control desks are a special order and are wanted for one of the big computer companies. |
|
5. |
The new suppliers promised delivery on Thursday week. |
|
6. |
What is worse there's a penalty clause in the contract with the computer company and Harper & Grant Ltd stand to lose ten per cent of their price for each day of overdue delivery. |
|
7. |
Sales people have to accept penalty clauses, otherwise they don't get the contracts. |
|
8. |
Peter only heard about the delay yesterday because they kept the production line clear to handle the special sheets. |
|
9. |
If Harper & Grant don't meet their delivery date it won’t cost them a lot of money because they can claim compensation from the steel suppliers for failure to deliver on time and that will offset the penalty clause. |
Exercise 2
A. Listen to the following remarks of Peter’s. All the sentences are mixed up. Put them in the order they appear in the recording. Use the grid below.

|
John: |
Does that mean we can't … if they fail … on time? |
|
Peter: |
It looks like it. Jones is … now. He didn't know they were being ordered … . He thought they were … . |
|
John: |
Just our luck! |
|
Jane: |
Mr. Jones for you … , Mr. Wiles. |
|
Peter: |
Hello. What did … ? Oh, no! Well, if that's true, why did Mid Wales … of thirty days? They must have known they … . Why did they … at all? Yes. O.K. Morgan … , is he? Yes. I'd like to hear … . Thanks, Jones. (He puts the receiver down) |
|
John: |
What's … the delay? |
|
Peter: |
Deliveries … because … annealing ovens … . (Telephone rings) Ah, that may be … now. |
|
Jane: |

|
Peter: |

We're due … the finished console desks … , and now you say there's … When did … break down? Yes. Well, … , what can you do … ? It's too late … for this job … now. What? Well, if … , that will help. Yes, I think we'd be prepared … the extra cost of … by road. Yes. Goodbye. |
Exercise 4
Act as an interpreter.
|
John: |
What does he say? |
|
Peter: |
Он говорит, что может подготовить половину товара к отправке (франко-завод) к полудню в понедельник. Это дает нам полтора дня для сборки столов … один день для упаковки и доставки. Да, нам придется сделать эту операцию экстренной. Джейн! Идите сюда, пожалуйста! |
|
Jane: |
Yes, Mr. Wiles. |
|
Peter: |
Соедините меня по телефону с управляющим производством как можно быстрее. |
|
Jane: |
Yes, Mr. Wiles. |
|
John: |
What about the other half? |
|
Peter: |
Морган считает, что он сможет обеспечить их в среду. К тому времени, когда их соберут и доставят они опоздают приблизительно на неделю, но, может быть, клиента это устроит. Как вы думаете, Джон? |
|
John: |
I'll get on to them and find out. |
|
Peter: |
Вы уже нашли управляющего производством, Джейн? |
|
Jane: |
I'm trying to get him; he's not answering his phone. |
|
Peter: |
Ну, попробуйте связаться с ним по открытой связи. Он никогда не сидит в своем кабинете. |
|
Jane: |
He's on the line now, Mr. Wiles. |
|
Peter: |
А, Филдинг. У нас кризис. Насколько быстро мы можем собрать те сто-лы для компьютера? Да, это повлечет за собой перестройку производ-ственной линии, но я вот что хочу знать …, если мы получим листы к понедельнику, соберут ли их, упакуют ли, и будут ли они готовы к от-правке ко второй половине дня в среду? В понедельник прибывает толь-ко половина заказа. Остаток листов будет доставлен в среду, что дает нам выходные … Я с этим ничего не могу поделать. Заплатить двойную ставку будет все же дешевле, чем те потери, которые мы понесем, если клиент настоит на штрафе. Да. Вы думаете, вы сможете? Молодец. О.К. Спасибо. |
