AT THE OFFICE

Mr. Bunin is an engineer at Machinoexport. Machinoexport does business with different countries of the world. They sell mining equip­ment, power equipment and other goods¹.

Mr. Bunin's office is on the second floor. There are six desks in it. You can see a lot of telexes, letters and cables on them. There is a telephone on every desk.

All the engineers and economists at his office can speak one or two foreign languages. The engineers of our Ministry must know foreign languages to do business with foreign firms.

v Mr. Bunin's working hours begin at 9 o'clock, but he usually comes to the office at a quarter to nine to get ready for work. At 9 o'clock the secretary brings him the mail. He goes through the betters, cables and telexes and sends answers to foreign firms or telephones them. He sometimes receives foreign businessmen from Great Britain, France, Germany and other countries. They usually discuss prices, terms of payment and delivery.

At half past one Mr. Bunin has dinner. After dinner he sometimes meets directors or engineers of our factories. He finishes work at 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

A DAY OFF

It was Sunday yesterday. It was our day off. We got up at half past eight but it was still dark. In winter it gets light very late. At 10 o'clock we had breakfast. We had some coffee, ham, cheese and eggs for breakfast.

Then we went for a walk. It was so wonderful outside. There was a lot of snow in the streets. The air was frosty but it was not very cold. We had a good walk that morning.

On our way back my wife went to buy some bread and sugar. I went to the theatre box-office and bought two rickets for "The Three Sisters". It was on at the Art Theatre that night¹.

We came back just in time for dinner². After dinner my wife and children watched T.V. and I went through some magazines and newspapers.

At half past five my wife and I went to the theatre. The performance was wonderful and we liked it very much. It was over at a quarter past ten. We took a taxi, and in half an hour we were at home. It was already late. We had supper, listened to the news on the radio and went to bed.

AT THE THEATRE

At the theatre Mr. Camp meets Mr. Bunin during the interval.

Camp: Good evening, Mr. Bunin.

Bunin: Oh, Mr. Camp, this is a surprise³. Glad to see you⁴. How do you

like the performance? Camp: It's wonderful.

Bunin: Did you see any performance of the Moscow Art Theatre in London ? Camp: No, I didn't. I wanted to see it very much but I couldn't get any

tickets. I heard a lot about this theatre. So I decided to go to this

theatre in Moscow.

A BUSINESS TRIP

Roberts and Company, a British firm, sent an enquiry for boilers to " Machinoexport ". The buyers were interested in boilers of different models. "Machinoexport" received the enquiry from the firm and the President of our office asked Mr. Bunin to be ready for the talks.

On the 3rd of April Mr. Camp, a representative of Roberts and Co. came to Moscow. The next day¹ he had a talk with Mr. Bunin and got the necessary materials from him. Mr. Camp and Mr. Bunin made an appointment for the 6th of April.

yet. I was at the Tretyakov Gallery yesterday and I've just been to

the Kremlin. It's wonderful.

Bunin: Glad to hear it. Now, what can I do for you?

Camp: I've gone through your catalogues and price-lists. I believe we can buy from you two boilers, Model PK-67 and three boilers Model BK-220. But your prices are too high, I'm afraid.

Bunin: I don't think so². We usually sell our boilers at these prices. They are in great demand, and we have sold a lot of them at these prices lately. I'm afraid we can't reduce them.

GOING ABROAD

Techmachimport got instructions to buy chemical equipment abroad. With this in view¹ Mr. Kozlov, President of Techmachimport went on business to Great Britain to place an order with a British firm.

He phoned the Intourist booking-office to book a seat for a plane to London. He found out that there were flights daily and that it would take him three and a half hours to get to London.

Mr. Kozlov booked a seat for the TU-104 jet-liner. The next morning he had arrived at Sheremetievo airport by seven o'clock, an hour before the plane took off.

After the clerk had registered his ticket and passport Kozlov filled in a declaration and went to the waiting-room. There were a few passengers there.

They were all waiting for the announcement to get on the plane. In ten minutes they heard the announcement, "Attention, please. Will passengers for London join Flight 31 ?"²

When Mr. Kozlov got on the plane, the stewardess showed him his seat.

At eight o'clock the plane took off. Although it flew at a high speed³, the passengers felt well. At 11.30 a.m.⁴ the plane landed at London airport.

my own use. Customs Official: How many packets of cigarettes have you got? Kozlov: Oh, I've got only three packets. I believe they'll be duty

free. Customs Official: Yes, of course⁵. Have you got any presents or any things

AT THE HOTEL

At about 1 o'clock in the afternoon Mister Kozlov arrived at the Tavistock Hotel. A hotel-porter took Kozlov's suit-case and showed him to the reception-desk. Kozlov told the receptionist that the Russian Trade Delegation had reserved a room in his name⁶ a few days before. The recep­tionist checked that and said that they could let him have a nice room on the third floor.⁷ After that the receptionist gave Mister Kozlov a form and asked him to fill it in.

Mister Kozlov wrote his name, address, nationality and occupation on the form and gave it back. Then the porter took the key to Kozlov's room and they went to the lift. In a minute they were on the third floor. The porter unlocked the door, brought in the suit-case⁸ and asked if that was all. Kozlov thanked him, gave him a tip and the porter went out. Kozlov unpacked his suit-case and rang the bell for a chambermaid⁹ because he wanted to have his suit pressed.

Chambermaid: Good afternoon, sir. What can I do for you?

Kozlov: Good afternoon. Could I have my jacket and trousers

pressed? Chambermaid: Very good, sir. I think I can do it right away. Kozlov: Thank you. By the way, could I have an extra blanket?

I'm afraid I'll be cold at night as the weather is damp to-day. Chambermaid: I'll attend to it, sir.

Kozlov: Thank you. I wonder if the restaurant is open now.

Chambermaid: Yes, sir. The restaurant serves breakfast from eight to ten,

lunch from twelve to two thirty and dinner from six to eight. Kozlov: Thank you very much.

Once a French cabman played a good joke on Conan Doyle. When Conan Doyle arrived in Paris it was raining^J heavily. He took a cab and asked the cabman to take him to the Ritz Hotel as he had reserved a, room there a few days before.

The cabman brought him to the hotel. When he had received his fare he said, "Thank you, Mr. Conan Doyle." "How do you know my name?" asked Conan Doyle.

"Well, sir," replied the driver, "the other day I saw in the papers that you were coming from the South of France to Paris. Your appearance told me you were British, and I also saw you had had your hair cut in the South of France. So I decided it was you.

"You are a wonderful detective," said Conan Doyle. "Were there any other things about me, that could help you to think it was I?"

"Well," said the cabman, "there was also your name on your suit-case, sir."
