a) Hold a panel discussion.

As a result of examining this unit, you have learned the forms and methods of trade among

countries. There are many problems in carrying out the international trade. In our conclusive discussion,

we would like to touch on the following interesting points, in our opinion:

1. What is the difference between the two applied methods of conducting international trade:

direct and indirect ones?

2. What measures taken by the developed countries on promoting international trade do you consider

the most important?

3. What is the role of the state in international trade (positive, negative)?

Give your examples, please.

b) Case Study.

On completion of this unit we have recognized that international trade is beneficial to a nation's

economy.

given issue.

3. Quickly skim the text to find out whether the increase of imports leads to the elimination of

some jobs in the country.
