    Listen to the following extract from the conversation between Hector Grant and John Martin. Fill in the spaces in the sentences below with the words actually used.


    Grant:

    Ah, John, … … … … … this scheme of yours … … … … to Abraca.

    John:

    Oh, I am glad.

    Grant:

    Yes, it’s all very well to say … … … …, but … … … worth it? Look what happened over … … … … … … … … … … .

    John:

    That was because we … … … … at the time and we … … … … … … … . But we can’t let that one failure stop us from … … … … … … … .

    Grant:

    You say … … … … … … … .Well, let’s have some figures. What … … … ? Who … … … … ? What about … ?

    John:

    There are … … … … , but … … … … assure me that our office equipment … … …… … … .

    Grant:

    What about … … ? It seems there are … … … , and a lot of goods … … … … via Rotterdam. And then there is all that … … involved in … … … … .

    John:

    Well, if I find … … in Abraca to act … … we can get him … … … … … … .

    Grant:

    Have you considered … … … … … … within the country?

    John:

    I’ll have to find out, but we might be able to sell … … … … … … … … . Maybe we should have … … … to find out exactly how … … … … … … … … … .

    Grant:

    Oh, I don’t agree, Mr. Grant. As you see from … … … …, Abraca is … … … … … . I am convinced that we can … … … … … for our goods there.


    Exercise 3

    Act as an interpreter.


    Peter:

    Good morning John. Where were you yesterday afternoon? I tried to contact you all over the place.

    Джон:

    Я долго катался на машине, чтобы слегка охладить свой пыл.

    Peter:

    Oh? What happened?

    Джон:

    Знаешь ли, Эйч Джи решил не пускать меня в Абраку.

    Peter:

    Oh, no! I thought he’d be bound to agree. I’d have said that particular market was wide open.

    Джон:

    Я так и думаю. Как бы то ни было, я вдруг стал сыт по горло старомодным подходом Эйч Джи и подал в отставку.

    Peter:

    Did he accept your resignation?

    Джон:

    Я оставил ему мало шансов. Я был так зол, что просто вышел из его офиса.


    Exercise 4

    Listen to the following conversation between Hector Grant and John Martin. All the remarks are mixed up. Put them in the order they appear in the unit. Supply the remarks with the names of their authors. Use the grid below.


    A …

    Let’s say we have a different way of looking at things.

    B …

    Perhaps I am. But as our opinions differ so much about the future of the firm, perhaps I’d better go somewhere a little more forward-looking. I’m sorry, H.G.

    C …

    I’m sorry Mr. Grant, but I do feel strongly about this. If this is really your policy, then I must think about leaving the firm.

    D …

    I’m sorry, John. On balance, I don’t think it’s quite the right time for this probe. I don’t want the expense of sending you out there. You’ve got plenty to do in the home market.

    E …

    You are being very foolish, John.

    F …

    But surely we ought to go ahead now. Why wait and let somebody else get there first? We can’t live on our old markets for ever!
