III. ORAL PRACTICE

A. Dialogue

1. Read and translate the dialogue in pairs:

Reporter: As far as I know, last year was a year of substantial progress for your bank, wasn’t it?

Banker: Yes, our bank made excellent progress. We increased market share and profitability. At the same time we continued to develop business infrastructure.

Reporter: What would you attribute this success to?

Banker: This significant improvement arose mainly from higher operating income reflecting improvement in net interest and non-interest income. Retail customer deposits increased progressively during the year. Loans and advances to customers increased during the latter months of the year and at year end were 4% higher than the prior year.

Reporter: Is retail banking your specialist area?

Banker: Not only. Like many banks we offer a combination of wholesale and retail banking. We continued to increase our presence in the health, education and charity sectors, the sectors where we have developed specialized expertise.

Reporter: Many banks follow this policy. They stay in a global niche, focusing on particular areas.

Banker: I don’t think it’s fair to compare us to an ordinary clearing bank. We are completely different.

Reporter: Why?

Banker: We’re cooperative bank, and our mission is to increase customer value, not shareholder value.

Reporter: Is your police bearing fruit?

Banker: Definitely. We constantly develop and introduce new services and products to match our customers’ needs. The number of customers is increasing.
