Todd and Thompson is a highly profitable company with a workforce of 100.

The company was founded by Mr. Lee Todd and Joseph Thompson in Birmingham. The founders of the company were still at University when they decided to go into business. The idea was to earn some extra money. Their business turned out to be a success and now Todd and Thompson is well established in the market. We have been in this business for 5 years. Our main products are frozen fruit and vegetables from South East Asia and Africa. Although the competition on this market is strong, we have been growing fast and have increased the turnover by 40% since 2004. This is mainly due to the fact that Todd and Thompson made a point of giving their customers the very best. Initially the target customers were families with average income from big cities. Lately we have changed our market strategy and turned to corporate customers. Todd and Thompson has ambitious plans of expansion. Later this year we will put a brand new product on the market. I'm sure, "4for4" will make company future even brighter.

A Good afternoon everybody.

Thank you for coming to today's meeting.

Who's taking the minutes? ...Miss Bryant ? Fine.

There are two points to discuss today - outsourcing some non-core functions and the future of our store in Birmingham.

ESorry to interrupt, but aren't we going to talk about reorganization of in-company communication?

A I think we could discuss that under AOB, Philip. Now let's start with the first item on the agenda. I know there are different opinions about it, so the main purpose of today's meeting is to explore your views. Yoko, could you give us your report?

ВAs we all know, the key issue today is cost savings. We have done research into the company cost structure and identified some non-cdre functions that eat into the budget. I'm

talking about document management and printing. If we outsource these functions, we will dramatically reduce capital and operational expenditure.

СHow much, Yoko?

ВWe will have reduced capital expenditures by 10% and operational expenditures by 12% by the end of the year.

С That sounds interesting but can you just clarify how you worked out the figures.

В Certainly. I'll do a quick break down for you on the flipchart. Look. Here are the figures for 2009 and here are the projections for 2010.

В I'm pretty sure that we needn't worry about security too much. We are talking about nonstrategic departments not leading directly to senior management. The other point I want to

AOK then. We have looked at all your views. Could we take a vote now? All those in favour raise your hands... Those against?... one. Any abstentions? None. The motion is carried by

four votes to one. Let's move on to the next item on the agenda. С Mmm. Can we have a short break now?

London Transport is the largest urban transport organization in Europe. It covers the nrcn of 630 square miles. Each working day, about 6.5 million passenger trips are made on the bus and underground services.

The world's first underground railway was opened in the City of London in 1863. Today, London Underground serves 273 stations and uses 470 trains. There is a general manager in charge of each of the Underground's eleven lines. In all, London Underground employs over 21,000 people.

Stations are signed by a London transport symbol. Look at the Underground map to decide your journey. You can buy your ticket before traveling either from a ticket machine or a ticket office. The intervals between trains are not long and trains run until about 00.15. It is very important to know the final destination of the train you are waiting for, as from some platforms trains leave for different destinations. You can ask one of the staff if you are lost. Most trains stop at all station, but several stations are closed at weekends.

Eating out in Britain

Eating out is very popular in Great Britain. It is a kind of a life style. You start with reserving a table and informing about it your guests. It is rather important, because the seats at the best restaurant in town can be already reserved. On Friday night you may even wait to be seated, because Friday night is the time for dates and meetings with friends. By the way, English people do not wish each other "Good Appetite" when starting their meal.

Britain is a multi-racial country where you can try dishes of different cuisines, such as Indian, Chinese, Japanese as well as European ones like French and Greek.

Going to "Pubs" or "Public Houses" is another tradition which has a long, long history. People come here to meet friends, chat, have a drink, listen to music or play darts. The most popular drink here is beer, but cocktails, wine and strong drinks are also served here. The law is very strict and children under 14 are not allowed into the pubs. Teenagers between 14 and 18 can enter but they won't be served with beer and alcohol.

- J i m , what kind of film is "Grey Tomorrow"?

—It's a crime film about a police officer who fell in love with a gangster and helped him to escape from prison.

—Is the film based on real events?

—Oh, yes. This is a real love story full of passion and despair. Phil Anderson researched every single detail of it. He read all newspaper articles and even went to Toledo to see the location and to talk to witnesses.

- W h i c h two main actors star in the film?

— Tim Fincher and Barbara Nelson. They are brilliant as always. Thanks to the cast the film is bound to be a success.

- D i d you find the ending predictable?

—I did, but still the film is worth watching. Don't expect any surprises from "Grey Tomorrow' and you won't be disappointed. I can recommend it.

Healthy hobbies

My advice for a long and healthy life is to get an absorbing hobby. Hobbies teach us all sorts of things.

Stamp collecting is not only gaining little labels. The philatelist can learn about national achievements, royal houses, geography, currency and all the rest.

Another hobby with overseas links is cultivation of pen-friends. Over some time you'll get interesting letters, sent by all sorts of interesting people from remote and exotic places. Both hobbies mentioned above give you a wide range of words from foreign languages.

Some hobbies teach us practical skills or keeping fit. Besides sport, it is walking and even gardening. As with sport, you can take part in competitions and make lots of friends. Gardening can save substantial sums of money.

If you do want a money-making hobby what about writing and selling articles to the local or even national press.

Some hobbies give you the chance to be neat and have a skill of presentation. For example, most philatelists try to present their stamps in the best way, or writing to your pen-friend requires from you the practical need to be understood.

What about hobby like electronics? One wrong connection - and, say, a radio won't work at

all.

Music is another hobby which teaches us to be exact and keep to the details. I collected records with a girl from Finland and that led me into performing some rather exotic Finnish music on the authentic instruments.

Yes, I can say that my life has been really full and rich, thanks to my hobbies.

Ahmed: My parents went to the local shops: a baker's, a grocer's or a butcher's. Now we have a big supermarket near here. I think it's more convenient to buy here and they have more parking facilities. The supermarket's open longer hours and every day.

Barbara: I prefer the local shops in the neighbourhood . The shop assistants are friendlier and more personal. They know most of those who have lived here for a long time. You can even have a small talk with them.

Charles: The Internet is the place where I can shop at any time I need. I don't have to go to the shop at all. They will deliver everything to my house. It's much cheaper than anywhere else. Toni: I go to the street market. I'm absolutely sure about the quality of food there, meat, milk and

vegetables in particular. I know that they are brought from a local farm and not from Spain, Poland and India.

Sylvia: I really adore buying in our shopping centre. I've been doing shopping here since it was built in 2005. You can find any department here and buy everything you'd like. If you are tired you can drop into any of the numerous cafes and taste different cuisines offered. I like it that all the shopping and entertainment facilities are combined all in one here.

We have a flat rather far from the centre of the city. It is in a new sixteen-storey building in Savinov Street. As there are so many storeys in the building it has two lifts.

Our flat is on the sixth floor. It has all modern conveniences such as central heating, gas, electricity, cold and hot water, and a chute.

There are three rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a hall in our flat.

The living room is the largest and most comfortable room in the flat. To the right of the door there is a sofa, a coffee table and two arm-chairs. Near the window there is a TV-set and a wardrobe. At the opposite wall there is a piano with a piano stool before it. The walls of the living room are lightgreen and there are a few pictures and family photos on them. Nothing is more pleasant in rainy weather than to sit in a comfortable armchair and read a book.

The bedroom is smaller than th&living-room and not so light as there is only one window in it. Here we have two beds with wall lamps, a wardrobe, a thick carpet and light-blue curtains.

The third room is the nursery. There is no place for two beds, so we have a bunch-bed here, a desk and a few shelves with lots of books and toys. The room is often cluttered with things, but children like to be here.
