LISTENING
Exercise 1
You are going to hear a talk between Hector Grant and John Martin. Before you listen to the conversation look at these statements, which you will mark T (True) or F (False) after you have listened to the tape.
1.Hector Grant is discouraged to find out that they haven't had a single order out of John Martin’s visit to Abraca.
2.John Martin is optimistic about the Abracan market because a very large order has already been made - office furniture and equipment for two entire government departments.
3.John has already sent pro forma invoices to Abraca so that the Ministry of Works can apply to the National Bank for foreign exchange.
4.In their order the Abracan Ministry of Works want a reduction on a unit price per desk for a larger quantity than Harper & Grant Ltd. originally quoted for the price to be f.o.b. Djemsa.
5.If Harper & Grant accept the requirements of the Abracan Ministry of Works it would be the largest single order in the history of the country.
6.Harper & Grant hardly have the capacity to produce the order also it'd be in addition to the budgeted turnover for the year, so there will be no recovery on marginal cost.
7.The terms of payment are conditional on the rate of exchange which prevails on the date of Harper & Grant’s quotation not fluctuating more than three per
85
cent either way.
Exercise 2
Act as an interpreter.
Джон Мартин: Это комплексная сделка. Мы все подробно просчитали. Правда цены придется установить немного ниже обычных, ведь у нас есть серьезные конкуренты. Наши производственные мощности позволяют выполнить этот заказ, и это будет в дополнение к продукции, предусмотренной бюджетом, а все, что мы получим сверх затраченных средств, будет прибылью. Я уверен, что это приведен к другим заказам в этой стране.
Hector Grant: “A representative of our Ministry of Works will be coming to London … obliged if you would book him accommodation ... glad to visit your factory and view the merchandise ... special requirements ...” Here what's this about 'special requirements'? What do they mean by that?
Джон: Не знаю. Это единственная загадка. Об этом говорилось и в первоначальном письме-запросе.
Grant: I don't much like the sound of that. What do they mean by 'special requirements'? I suppose we'll soon find out. What's the method of payment?
Джон: Мы потребовали безотзывный аккредитив, подтвержденный Лондонским банком. Мы указали цены в местной валюте, но это, конечно, условно. То есть при условии, что за основу берется котировка по обменному курсу на день ее предоставления, плюс-минус три процента. Мы будем защищены, даже если, например, курс валюты Абраки упадет по отношению к фунту стерлинга.
Grant: Hmm! Is Peter happy about delivery dates?
Джон: Да, мы сможем уложиться в сроки. Это потребует огромной работы по части планирования.
Grant: Well, you'll arrange some sort of meeting for us all then? Have you booked their representative into a hotel?
Джон: Заказал. Я думаю, что надо предоставить в его распоряжение машину и немного показать ему страну.
Grant: All right. But you'd better find out more about the special requirements. It may be some condition we can't fulfil.
