Саратов 2020 Вариант 3 Текст A FAMILY BUSINESS The Warner family has been in the insurance business for more than one hundred years. The company, Warner Insurance, was founded by Robert Warner in 1908, in Boston, Massachusetts. Robert began working from his table in the kitchen and would invite his future and current clients to his home to fill out applications, gather data, contract and service his clients. In less than two years, Robert had established a clientele of over 100 satisfied customers and had moved to an office that he purchased with the gains from his insurance business. As the company continued to grow, Robert Warner hired his three sons as employees. The eldest son, James, was the Vice President of Operations. His responsibilities included the day to day business operations, accounting, legal and human resources. As the company expanded, James was in charge of opening and overseeing offices throughout the entire United States. James had four children: three sons and one daughter. Each of his children became Regional Managers and moved to different parts of the States. It was sad for James and Mrs. Warner to see their children move away from home, but they were very proud of their children and their dedication to the family business. James was eighty-five years old when he died. He worked for Warner Insurance his entire adult life. The middle son, Henry, was Vice President of Sales. Henry was in charge of a team of ten salesmen. Their sales territory grew to the entire northeast sector of the United States within ten years. Henry worked for Warner Insurance for over thirty years in which the sales territory went national and the sales force grew to over seven hundred and fifty salespeople. By this time, Warner Insurance became a household name and a multimillion-dollar company. The Warner family was committed to maintaining the company a privately owned business and to this day it continues to be so. Robert Junior was the youngest of the founder’s sons and studied Marketing and Business Administration in Vasser College in New York. After graduating, he returned to Boston and became the Marketing force behind Warner Insurance and was a major factor in the company’s branding and promotional efforts. Many people say that it was because of Robert Junior’s brilliant marketing skills that the company was able to grow so big and so quickly. Robert Senior was very fond of his three sons, but he had a special affection for his youngest son and namesake, Robert Junior. Today Warner Insurance stands as an example of a family enterprise that has withstood the test of time and fierce competition in a very competitive market. Many larger, investor-owned companies have tried to purchase Warner Insurance but the family has stood firm in its decision to continue the family legacy and establish an inheritance for its future generations. Семейный Бизнес Семья Уорнер занимается страховым бизнесом более ста лет. Уорнер Страхование была основана Робертом Уорнером в 1908 году в Бостоне, штат Массачусетс. Роберт начал работать со своего стола на кухне и приглашал своих будущих и нынешних клиентов к себе домой, чтобы заполнить заявки, собрать данные, заключить контракт и обслуживать своих клиентов. Менее чем за два года Роберт создал клиентскую базу из более чем 100 довольных клиентов и переехал в офис, который он приобрел за счет доходов от своего страхового бизнеса. Поскольку компания продолжала расти, Роберт Уорнер нанял трех своих сыновей в качестве сотрудников. Старший сын Джеймс был вице-президентом по операциям. В его обязанности входили ежедневные деловые операции, бухгалтерский учет. юридические и человеческие ресурсы. По мере расширения компании Джеймс отвечал за открытие и надзор за офисами на всей территории Соединенных Штатов. У Джеймса было четверо детей: три сына и одна дочь. Каждый из его детей стал Региональным менеджером и переехали в разные части штатов. Джеймсу и миссис Уорнер было грустно видеть, как их дети уходят из дома, но они очень гордились своими детьми и их преданностью семейному бизнесу. Джеймсу было восемьдесят пять лет, когда он умер. Он работал в "Уорнер страхование" всю свою взрослую жизнь. Средний сын, Генри, был вице-президентом по продажам. Генри руководил командой из десяти продавцов. Территория их продаж выросла до всего северо-восточного сектора Соединенных Штатов в течение десяти лет. Генри проработал в "Уорнер страхование" более тридцати лет, когда территория продаж стала общенациональной, а продажи выросли до семисот пятидесяти продавцов. К этому времени «Уорнер Страхование» приобрела название «домашнее хозяйство» и стала многомиллионной компанией. Семья Уорнер взяла на себя обязательство поддерживать частный бизнес в компании и по сей день таковым остается. Роберт Джуниор был младшим из сыновей основателя и изучал управление маркетингом и бизнесом в колледже Вассер в Нью-Йорке. После окончания он вернулся в Бостон и стал маркетинговым агентом "Уорнер страхование" и стал главным фактором в брендинге и продвижении компании. Многие говорят, что благодаря блестящим маркетинговым навыкам Роберта Джуниора компания смогла вырасти так быстро. Роберт Сеньор очень любил своих троих сыновей, но у него была особая привязанность к его младшему сыну и однофамильцу, Роберту Младшему. Сегодня "Уорнер страхование" является примером семейного предприятия, которое выдержало испытание временем и жесткой конкуренцией на очень конкурентном рынке. Многие более крупные компании, принадлежащие инвесторам, пытались приобрести «Уорнер страхование», но семья твердо решила продолжить семейное наследство и создать наследство для будущих поколений.

Устная речь Сообщение на тему «Getting a job» Choosing your future work begins long before you start looking for a job. Your career actually begins with choosing a field of study. The skills that are most needed are: language, organizational and computer ones, the latter being very useful nowadays. After you've chosen a specific position, you have to apply for it. The first thing you need is a resume or a CV (curriculum vital). It's a document which lists person's qualifications, background and accompanies job applications and their requests for admittance or acceptance. There are five categories of data included in a resume: first - personal information, second - education and training, third - work history, fourth - memberships, interests and hobbies, and fifth - references. A cover letter should precede the resume when it is used for an application and is sent by mail. It addresses an employer and should persuade him or her to appoint you an interview. Once you've got it you'd better get prepared for it. It's a good idea to find out what you can about the firm, to make a list of questions you want to ask interviewer and to think of questions you might be asked. Dress to look clean and tidy. Come in time to the appointed place for an interview. Don't forget to take all the necessary documents for your better presentation. Don't be nervous and tense with the interviewer, be polite and listen attentively to all the questions you are asked. Try to give full and clear answers to the questions. Don't forget to mention your computer skills and language fluency if it's required by the company. Try to persuade the interviewer that you're the best candidate for the chosen position and an asset for the company. At the end of the interview thank the interviewer for his or her attention. Don't demand the immediate answer about his or her decision. If the decision on your acceptance has been positive, you might think you've got a job. It may be true and maybe not. When you have successfully finished that, you can calm down a little and get ready for the serious work. |
