AT THE OFFICE

Mr. Bunin is an engineer at Machinoexport. Machinoexport does business with different countries of the world. They sell mining equip­ment, power equipment and other goods¹.

Mr. Bunin's office is on the second floor. There are six desks in it. You can see a lot of telexes, letters and cables on them. There is a telephone on every desk.

All the engineers and economists at his office can speak one or two foreign languages. The engineers of our Ministry must know foreign languages to do business with foreign firms.

Mr. Bunin's working hours begin at 9 o'clock, but he usually comes to the office at a quarter to nine to get ready for work. At 9 o'clock the secretary brings him the mail. He goes through the betters, cables and telexes and sends answers to foreign firms or telephones them. He sometimes receives foreign businessmen from Great Britain, France, Germany and other countries. They usually discuss prices, terms of payment and delivery.

At half past one Mr. Bunin has dinner. After dinner he sometimes meets directors or engineers of our factories. He finishes work at 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

A DAY OFF

It was Sunday yesterday. It was our day off. We got up at half past eight but it was still dark. In winter it gets light very late. At 10 o'clock we had breakfast. We had some coffee, ham, cheese and eggs for breakfast.

Then we went for a walk. It was so wonderful outside. There was a lot of snow in the streets. The air was frosty but it was not very cold. We had a good walk that morning.

On our way back my wife went to buy some bread and sugar. I went to the theatre box-office and bought two rickets for "The Three Sisters". It was on at the Art Theatre that night¹.

We came back just in time for dinner². After dinner my wife and children watched T.V. and I went through some magazines and newspapers.

At half past five my wife and I went to the theatre. The performance was wonderful and we liked it very much. It was over at a quarter past ten. We took a taxi, and in half an hour we were at home. It was already late. We had supper, listened to the news on the radio and went to bed.

AT THE THEATRE

At the theatre Mr. Camp meets Mr. Bunin during the interval.

Camp: Good evening, Mr. Bunin.

Bunin: Oh, Mr. Camp, this is a surprise³. Glad to see you⁴. How do you

like the performance? Camp: It's wonderful.

Bunin: Did you see any performance of the Moscow Art Theatre in London ? Camp: No, I didn't. I wanted to see it very much but I couldn't get any

tickets. I heard a lot about this theatre. So I decided to go to this

theatre in Moscow.

the Kremlin. It's wonderful.

GOING ABROAD

Techmachimport got instructions to buy chemical equipment abroad. With this in view¹ Mr. Kozlov, President of Techmachimport went on business to Great Britain to place an order with a British firm.

He phoned the Intourist booking-office to book a seat for a plane to London. He found out that there were flights daily and that it would take him three and a half hours to get to London.

Mr. Kozlov booked a seat for the TU-154 jet-liner. The next morning he had arrived at Sheremetievo airport by seven o'clock, an hour before the plane took off.

After the clerk had registered his ticket and passport Kozlov filled in a declaration and went to the waiting-room. There were a few passengers there.

They were all waiting for the announcement to get on the plane. In ten minutes they heard the announcement, "Attention, please. Will passengers for London join Flight 31 ?"²

When Mr. Kozlov got on the plane, the stewardess showed him his seat.

At eight o'clock the plane took off. Although it flew at a high speed³, the passengers felt well. At 11.30 a.m.⁴ the plane landed at London airport.

my own use. Customs Official: How many packets of cigarettes have you got? Kozlov: Oh, I've got only three packets. I believe they'll be duty

free.

Customs Official: Yes, of course⁵. Have you got any presents or any things

liable to duty? Kozlov: No, I haven't.

At about 1 o'clock in the afternoon Mister Kozlov arrived at the Tavistock Hotel. A hotel-porter took Kozlov's suit-case and showed him to the reception-desk. Kozlov told the receptionist that the Russian Trade Delegation had reserved a room in his name⁶ a few days before. The recep­tionist checked that and said that they could let him have a nice room on the third floor.⁷ After that the receptionist gave Mister Kozlov a form and asked him to fill it in.

Mister Kozlov wrote his name, address, nationality and occupation on the form and gave it back. Then the porter took the key to Kozlov's room and they went to the lift. In a minute they were on the third floor. The porter unlocked the door, brought in the suit-case⁸ and asked if that was all. Kozlov thanked him, gave him a tip and the porter went out. Kozlov unpacked his suit-case and rang the bell for a chambermaid⁹ because he wanted to have his suit pressed.

Chambermaid: Good afternoon, sir. What can I do for you?

Kozlov: Good afternoon. Could I have my jacket and trousers

pressed? Chambermaid: Very good, sir. I think I can do it right away. Kozlov: Thank you. By the way, could I have an extra blanket?

I'm afraid I'll be cold at night as the weather is damp to-day. Chambermaid: I'll attend to it, sir.

Kozlov: Thank you. I wonder if the restaurant is open now.

Chambermaid: Yes, sir. The restaurant serves breakfast from eight to ten,

lunch from twelve to two thirty and dinner from six to eight. Kozlov: Thank you very much.

A BUSINESS APPOINTMENT

Techmachimport has done a lot of business with Goodman & Co. for the last few years.¹ Before Mr. Kozlov.went to London, he and his

experts had gone through the latest catalogues² of the firm. They found that compressors Model AC-30 could meet the requirements of their customers.

When Mr. Kozlov arrived in London, he phoned the Russian Trade

Delegation and asked Mr. Zotov to make an appointment with

Mr. Lipman of Goodman & Company.

MAKING AN APPOINTMENT

Mr. Zotov: Russian Trade Delegation here. Good morning.

Secretary: Good morning.

Mr. Zotov: I wonder if Mr. Lipman is available.

Secretary: Yes, he is. Hold on, please.³ I'll put you through.

Mr. Lipman: Lipman is speaking.

Mr. Zotov: Good morning, Mr. Lipman. Zotov speaking. I'm glad

I've got you on the phone. I hope you are well. Mr. Lipman: Yes, thank you. And how are you getting on?⁴

Zotov: Quite all right, thank you. The fact is Mr. Kozlov, President of Techmachimport has come to London⁵ to-day. He'd like to talk to you.

Lipman: I'll be glad to see Mr. Kozlov. We haven't met since my last visit to Moscow. I wonder if he will be able to come and see me this afternoon.

Zotov: I'm afraid this time won't be quite convenient to him. Could you give an alternative date, please?

Lipman: Yesj certainly. Tomorrow morning then.

Zotov: Very good. I'll pass it on to Mr. Kozlov. Good-bye.

Lipman: Good-bye.

A BUSINESS TALK

Kozlov: Good morning, Mr. Lipman.

Lipman: Oh, Mr. Kozlov, good morning. Glad to see you in London. I hope you'll enjoy your stay in this country.

Kozlov: I hope»so too. What fine weather you are having now!⁶

Lipman: Yes. It's wonderful to-day. But the weather is very change­able in London. It rained heavily only yesterday morning. And what's ihe weather like in Moscow?

Kozlov: It isn't so fine as it is here. It was snowing when I left Moscow.

Lipman: Oh, was it?⁷

Kozlov: Well, Mr. Lipman, I'd like to have a word with you about our order for compressors. We've gone through your latest cata­logues.

Lipman: I believe you've noticed we've improved our Model AC-30.

Kozlov: Quite so. It is very important to us. Now this model meets the requirements of our customers.

Lipman: Glad to hear that.

Kozlov: We are going to place an order with you for 50 compressors but the fact-is we usually buy your goods on c.i.f. terms but now we'd like to buy them on f.o.b. terms.

Lipman: Will you take part deliveries in that case?

Kozlov: That'll suit us all right.

Lipman: By the way, Mr. Kozlov, we'll be able to let you have our quotation in two or three days only.

Kozlov: That's very good because I'll have to leave for Edinburgh⁸ and shan't be back until next Monday.

Lipman: Then we'll send our quotation to your office.

Kozlov: All right. Good-bye.

Lipman: Good-bye.

the exhibition.

So on Wednesday morning Kozlov got up earlier than usual as he had to catch an early morning train to Edinburgh. He packed his suit-case and was about to go to the restaurant when the telephone rang. The secretary of Russian Trade Delegation was phoning Kozlov to tell him that he could get accommodation on the 9 o'clock express to Edinburgh at the booking-office of Liverpool Street Station.¹

Kozlov: Would you mind telling me when the express is due in Edinburgh?³

Clerk: Just a minute. I'll check that for you. You are due at 5.30 p.m.

Kozlov: Oh, are we? I thought it would take me more time to get there.

Clerk: This train is the most convenient. It goes faster than any other

train. Kozlov: Thank you.

ON THE PLATFORM

Kozlov: Porter, will you see to my luggage, please?⁴

Porter: Yes, sir. Where are you going to?

Kozlov: I'm going by the 9 o'clock express to Edinburgh.

Porter: Is this your suit-case ?

Kozlov: Yes, it is. It can go to my compartment.

Porter: Very well, sir. Which class?

Kozlov: First.

Porter: This way, please.⁵

(Kozlov looks at the train at platform 2.)

Kozlov: Isn't this my train ?

Porter: No, sir. Your train is at platform 5. We'll have to hurry or you'll

miss the train. It's leaving in 5 minutes. Kozlov: Oh, is it? Porter: Now, sir. Here is your carriage.⁶

(They get into the compartment and the porter puts the suit-case on the luggage-rack.) Kozlov: Thank you, porter. Here you are. (He gives a tip to the porter). Porter: Thank you, sir: A pleasant journey to you.⁷

SEEING A FRIEND OFF

Three men were sitting at a bar near a railway-station. They had asked the railway porter to tell them when the train was due. Some time later the porter came to say that the train was coming in. "Oh," said the men, "we have time for just one more drink." They took another drink and hurried out, but their train had already left.

They went back to the bar. An hour later the second train arrived, and the same thing happened. They missed the train again. Two hours later the porter came and told them that the last train was due in five minutes. Again the men waited for a few minutes to have one more drink and when they came out the train had already started. Two of the men caught the train. But the third man missed the train and walked back to the bar.

"By the way," the barman asked him, when he came in, "what town are your friends going to?"

"I don't know, where they are going to," the man answered. "They just came down to the station to see me off."

DISCUSSING A CONTRACT

The export department of Goodman & Co. sent the Russian Trade Dele­gation their offer of compressors.

When Mr. Kozlov came back from Edinburgh, he and Mr.

Zotov considered the prices, the terms of payment and delivery and the technical information of the offer. They found that their compressors were of the latest design¹. So Mr. Kozlov decided to meet Mr. Lipman again to

discuss the offer.

Dialogue

Kozlov: Good afternoon, Mr. Lipman.

Lipman: Good afternoon, Mr. Kozlov. Will you take a seat? Have a

cigarette, please.

Kozlov: Thank you.

Lipman: Did you enjoy your trip to Edinburgh ?

Kozlov: Yes. It was pleasant, indeed. I also had a good opportunity to

contact businessmen of different British companies.

Lipman: I see. Now, Mr. Kozlov, what do you say to our offer?

Kozlov: On the whole your terms and conditions are acceptable to us. But I'm afraid your prices are not quite competitive. They are some­what higher than the prices of other firms. Could you reduce your price by 7 per cent?

Lipman: I say², Mr. Kozlov, we've sold our compressors at the price of £ • • • each. They are the best on the world market at this price. However, if you increase your order, we'll give you a discount of 5 per cent.

Kozlov: I believe we can buy 15 more compressors.³

Lipman: Fine. That will settle the price problem.

Kozlov: Quite so. Now, there is another point, Mr. Lipman. Your delivery dates don't suit us. We require the first parcel of 20 compressors a month after we sign the contract.

Lipman: So I understand that we are to ship the first parcel in December. And what about the remaining goods?

Kozlov: We can accept them in March.

Lipman: Very good. Well, Mr. Kozlov, as regards the terms of payment I

hope you'll pay against shipping documents by a Letter of Credit.

You are to open it with the London Bank after our cable that the

goods are ready for shipment.

Kozlov: Quite right. I'll be glad to sign the contract when you get it ready.

Lipman: We can sign it tomorrow. I'll be glad, Mr. Kozlov, if you and

Mr. Zotov join our Sales Manager and me for lunch after we

sign the contract.

Kozlov: Thank you.

Lipman: So we hope to see you at our office at 12 tomorrow.

Kozlov: Good. See you tomorrow.⁴

Lipman: Good-bye.

TRADE EXHIBITIONS

Russia stands for the development of trade with all countries therefore the Russian Chamber of Commerce arranges various fairs and exhibitions both in our country and abroad. Our fairs and exhibitions are very popular with the people abroad and each of them is called an "eye-opener".* They show our great achievements in science, industry, agriculture and other fields of our national economy. Foreign visitors are interested both in the exhibits and the Russian way of life in general. These fairs and exhibi­tions do a lot to establish contacts and to promote trade, and trade, as we know,¹ promotes peace.

In September, 19... one of the biggest international exhibitions of chem­ical machinery and equipment was held in Moscow. Many foreign firms took part in it as they were interested in introducing their goods to new markets. Russia was the main participant. Over 7,000 exhibits could be seen on display in the Russian pavilions. They showed the progress that Russian chemical industry and science had made for the last few years.

The efficient staff of stand-attendants, guides and interpreters did their best to make the exhibition a success. Colourful leaflets helped to advertise

* the exhibition is an eye-opener — выставка открывает глаза

the goods. The exhibition was crowded with visitors from opening to closing time. It was visited by a lot of foreign businessmen as weD. The entries in the visitors' books show that the visitors were greatly impressed by the exhibi­tion. As a result new business contacts were established and a lot of con­tracts were signed.

XIX. Read and retell the story. Answer the questions given below:

Once the English poet Samuel Coleridge was walking along a village street. The postman was delivering letters at that time. When the postman came up to the door of a small house a young girl came out. "Here is a letter for you. I believe it's from your brother," said the postman. The girl took the letter and looked unhappy. Coleridge came up to them and asked: "What's the matter?" "I've got no money," said the girl and returned the letter to the postman. Coleridge felt sorry for the girl. He paid the postage and gave the letter to her.

When the postman had gone the girl thanked Coleridge but told him she was sorry he had paid the postage because there was nothing written in the letter. She told Coleridge that her brother had gone to work in London. Before he left, they had agreed that as they had no money to pay for the postage, he would send an envelope with nothing in it. She was to return the envelope to the postman. If the envelope arrived regularly, she would know that her brother was all right.

Coleridge was greatly impressed by the story. He told it to his friend who worked in the Post Office. His friend thought it would help many people if the charge for postage could be reduced. He thought it would be good to introduce stamps. A few years later the government agreed to his idea.

Samuel Coleridge —С. Колридж, английский поэт (1772—1834); poet— поэт; postman—почтальон; postage емкость почтового отправления; to feel sorry for smb.— жалеть кого-л., to agree — договориться; to agree to smth. — согласиться на что-л.; envelope — конверт

Questions

1. What was Samuel Coleridge ? Z Why did Coleridge decide to help the girl? 3. Why did the girl say she was sorry Coleridge had paid the postage?

FRIENDS IN BUSINESS

A rich businessman was dying. He asked all his family to leave him alone with his partner who had been in the same business with him for years. The rich man considered him a reliable partner and an excellent man. The dying man wanted to tell him something important and he did not want anybody to hear their conversation. "George," the man said when they were left alone. "I'm dying.... I must tell you. Listen, please. I've always been bad to you. When you were away on business two years ago, I took a big sum of money from the safe and never put it back. I've always tried not to let you be a success in business. I've greatly disliked you all my life. You, certainly, remember that plan of yours. I did my best to fail it. You thought that the changes in business had caused its failure, but it wasn't so. The real reason was quite different. I had sold your secret to another company for a hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Oh, George, forgive me, please." "Don't worry, Jim," said George, "That's all right. I've also got to tell you some­thing. I was not so reliable as you thought I was. It was I who put poison into your soup at dinner yesterday."

to die — умирать; to fail — проваливать; failure ['feilpj — неудача, провал; to forgive (forgave, forgiven) — простить; poison — яд; sum — сумма

Questions

1. Can you call the partners "friends"? Why not? 2. Why did they dis­like each other? 3. Why couldn't they become close friends?

LOVE FOR ART

Joe and Delia both loved art. Joe came to New York to study paint­ing. Delia left the little town she was born in for New York to study music. Joe and Delia met at the friend's studio. In the evening the studio was always crowded with young artists who were fond of talking about painting, theatre and music. Delia attracted Joe's attention the moment he saw her. They often met at the studio and soon got to know each other well. A year later they were married. They were very happy, they had their art and they had each other. But one day they found that they had no money. Delia said she had to give music lessons and she started looking for pupils. A few days later she came home very pleased with herself. "Joe, dear," she said. "I have found a pupil. She is the only daughter of a famous architect. I'm to give her three lessons a week. The family is rich, they'll pay me five dollars a lesson!" However Joe was not happy about that. He did not want his wife to work, he wanted her to study and be a famous pianist.

A week later Delia brought home fifteen dollars. To her surprise Joe put four five dollar bills on the table too. "I've sold one of my paintings to a gentleman from the country," he said, "and he asked me to paint another picture for him."

Every morning Joe went to Central Park to paint his pictures and came back only in the evening. One Saturday evening Joe came home before Delia. Delia was late. When she appeared her right hand was bandaged and she looked very tired. "What's the matter?" — asked Joe. "The architects's daughter invited me to dinner after her lesson and she spilled some hot sauce on my hand. She was very sorry about that. Oh, Joe, did you sell another picture?" she asked when she saw the money on the table. "I did. And I'm going to sell some more next week," Joe added. "At what time did you burn your hand, Delia?" "About five. The iron ... I mean the sauce was ready about five. Why ?" "Darling," Joe took her hands in his, "where are you work­ing? Tell me!" And she told him the truth.

Delia could not find any pupils and as she very much wanted Joe to study painting she had to work in a laundry. Delia pressed shirts there. "How did you know I wasn't giving music lessons?" she asked. "I sent up these bandages this afternoon for a girl who had burnt her hand with an iron. I'm working in the machine room of the same laundry."

(After O. Henry)

pianist ['pjaenist] — пианист; to bandage ['baendidsl — перевязывать; bandages — бинты; to spill — проливать; sause [sas] — coyc; to burn (burnt, burnt) — обжигать; iron [aisn] — утюг; I mean [mm] — я хочу сказать; darling—дорогая; to tell the truth [tnr.6] — сказать правду; laundry ['bsidri] — прачечная

Questions

1. Why did Delia start looking for a job? 2. Why was it difficult for Joe to sell his pictures and for Delia to find pupils? 3. Why did Joe not tell her the truth about his work in a laundry? 4. What do you think of their love for each other? 5. Do you think their life will change in future?

CURIOUS PROFESSION

On a cold November morning I duly turned up at Euston to see off an old friend of mine who was starting for America. I saw some of our common friends who had also come to say "good-bye" to him.

Stiff and ill at ease we stood near the carriage* looking at the face of our friend.

* Stiff and ill at ease we stood near the carriage. — Мы стояли около вагона и чувст­вовали себя скованно и неловко.

"Have you got everything?" asked one of us, breaking the silence.

"Yes, everything," said our friend with a smile.

There was a long silence. One of us with a smile at the traveller said:

"Well."

The traveller returned the smile.

The silence was broken again by one of us with a fit of coughing. It seemed to me he did it intentionally but it helped to pass the time. There was no sign of the train's departure.

A middle-aged man who was talking to a young lady at the next window attracted my attention. His face seemed familiar to me. The young lady was evidently American, and he was evidently English, otherwise I could have taken him for her father.

Suddenly I remembered. The man was Rubert Le Ros, an actor. But how he had changed since I saw him last. That was seven or eight years ago. He was then unemployed and borrowed half-a-crown from me. It seemed a privilege to lend him anything. He was always magnetic.

It was strange to see him, after all these years here on the platform of Euston, looking so smart. I should be proud if I were seen off by him.

"Stand back, please," said the attendant. The train was about to start and we said "good-bye" to our friend. Le Ros did not stand back. He had the hands of the young American in his. "Stand back, sir, please!"

He stood back but then quickly came up to the window to say some final word. I think there were tears in her eyes. There certainly were in his when he turned round.

I came up to him. He looked delighted to see me. We walked slowly along the platform. I told him how much he was missed on the stage.

"Ah, yes," he said, "I never act on the stage nowadays." I asked him then where he did act.*

"On the platform," he said, striking the platform with his stick. "I sup­pose," he said, giving me a light for the cigar which he had offered me, "You have been seeing a friend off." He asked me what I supposed he had been doing. I said that I had watched him doing the same thing.

"No," he said. "That lady was not a friend of mine. I met her for the first time this morning, less than half an hour ago here."

I should never have believed it if he had not told me about it. When I said that he smiled.

"Have you heard of the Anglo-American Social Bureau?" I had not. He explained to me that of the thousands of Americans who pass through England there are hundreds who have no English friends.¹ In the old days they used to bring letters of introduction.² But the English are so inhospitable that these letters are hardly worth the paper they are written on. "The Anglo-American Social Bureau" supplies Americans with English friends. Fifty per cent is paid over to "the friends". The other fifty goes to the A.A.S.B.

"I'm sorry I'm not a director. If I were I should be a very rich man. I am only one of the seers-off. But even so I do very well," Le Ros added. "What do you mean by 'a seer-ofT?" I asked.

* I asked him where he did act. — Я спросил его, где же он все-таки играет.

"You see it's rather expensive to pay 'the friends' of the Bureau. Many Americans cannot afford it. But they can all afford to be seen off. The pay is only five pounds for a single traveller, and eight pounds for a party of two or more. So they send money to the A.A.S.B. and then — well, then they are seen off."

"But is it worth it?" I asked.

"Of course, it is worth it," said Le Ros. "Their fellow-passengers believe they have English friends and become friendly to them. The attendant is very attentive to them too. Besides, it is a great pleasure to be seen off. You saw me seeing that young lady off. Didn't you think I did it beautifully?"

"Yes, beautifully," I said, "And there was I ..."

"Yes, I can imagine. You stood looking at your friend, trying to make conversation. I know. That's how I used to be myself before I studied how to do it. It's not an easy job. If I had not studied I should not have been able to do it the way I did it. A railway-station is the most difficult of all places to act, as you discovered for yourself."

"So you've been taught to have those tears in your eyes," I said in great surprise.

"Yes, and I can teach you too. I have a lot of students already. I could give you an hour on Tuesdays and Fridays," he said consulting his black note-book.

XXI. Read and retell this story. Answer the questions given below:

LOST IN THE POST

Ainsley, a post-office sorter, turned the envelope over and over in his hands. The letter was addressed to his wife and had an Australian stamp.

Ainsley knew that the sender was Dicky Soames, his wife's cousin. It was the second letter Ainsley received after Dicky's departure. The first letter had come six months before, he did not read it and threw it into the fire. No man ever had less reason for jealousy than Ainsley. His wife was frank as the day, a splendid housekeeper, a very good mother to their two children. He knew that Dicky Soames had been fond of Adela and the fact that Dicky Soames had years back gone away to join his and Adela's uncle made no difference to him.

He was afraid that some day Dicky would return and take Adela from him.

Ainsley did not take the letter when he was at work as his fellow-workers could see him do it So when the working hours were over he went out of the post-office together with his fellow-workers, then he returned to take the letter addressed to his wife. As the door of the post-office was locked, he

had to get in through a window. When he was getting out of the window the postmaster saw him. He got angry and dismissed Ainsley. So another man was hired and Ainsley became unemployed. Their life became hard, they had to borrow money from their friends.

Several months had passed. One afternoon when Ainsley came home he saw the familiar face of Dicky Soames. "So he had turned up," Ainsley thought to himself.

Dicky Soames said he was delighted to see Ainsley. "I have missed all of you so much," he added with a friendly smile.

Ainsley looked at his wife. "Uncle Tom has died," she explained "and Dicky has come into his money." "Congratulations," said Ainsley, "you're lucky."

Adela turned to Dicky. "Tell Arthur the rest," she said quietly. "Well, you see," said Dicky, "Uncle Tom had something over sixty thousand and he wished Adela to have half. But he got angry with you because Adela never answered the two letters I wrote to her for him. Then he changed his will and left her money to hospitals. I asked him not to do it, but he wouldn't listen to me!" Ainsley turned pale. "So those two letters were worth reading," he thought to himself. For some time everybody kept silence. Then Dicky Soames broke the silence, "It's strange about those two letters. I've often wondered why you didn't answer them?" Adela got up, came up to her husband and took him by the hand. "The letters were evidently lost," said she. At that moment Ainsley realized that she knew everything.

(After "Lost in the Post" by A. Philips)

Ainsley, Adela; sorter — сортировщик; fire —огонь; jealousy — ревность; uncle — дядя; postmaster — почтмейстер; to dismiss —уволить; will— завещание; frank as the day — как ясный день

Questions

1. Why do you think Ainsley did not want his wife to receive letters from Dicky Soames? 2. Do you think he had reasons for jealousy? 3. Why did Ainsley think that his wife knew everything? 4. Would anything change in their life? Why? 5. Did Dicky guess what had happened? 6. What would you have done if you had been in Adela's place?

XXII. Speak on the topics:

1. Meeting a friend returning from a journey. 2. Seeing off a friend starting on a journey. 3. My last trip.

Sojuzexport

Dear Sirs,

We have received your letter dated January 2,19 ... and the documents attached to it.

You write that the damage to the Machine-tools delivered to us by S.S. "Svir" occurred in transit and therefore you advise us to apply to the Insur­ance Company with whom the goods were insured.

We are sorry to say we cannot agree with you. We think the damage to the Machine-tools occurred during packing. If the Machines had been dam­aged in transit the packing would have been damaged as well. However during the examination at the port of destination our inspector did not find any de­fects in packing.

We have been doing business with your firm for a long time and this is the first time we have received defective Machine-tools from you. We hope that you will either replace these machine-tools or repair them free of charge. We are looking forward to your early reply.

Yours faithfully, Smith and Co.
