 | Learn English 78 - Sales Figures Focus: modals Language: should / might JANE: OK. As you can see from my report, we're doing well in most sectors. However, sales in Western Europe are down by five percent since July, so we need to focus on that today. PETER: Almost 30% of our revenue was coming from Western Europe at the start of this year. Now it's closer to 25%. What's the reason? JANE: Well, we decreased our advertising budget by almost half this year. I think that might be reflected in our sales. PETER: I'm not sure about that. Sales figures are up 20% in Spain this quarter and we have almost no advertising coverage there. How do you explain that? JANE: Simple. The sales team in Barcelona is excellent. I think once we establish a stronger training program, sales should pick up in Europe. What other factors do we need to consider? PETER: Well we can't leave out market forces. What effect has the introduction of the euro had on sales? JANE: Well, it's hard to say for sure at this early stage, but software sales in the region are down 3% this quarter, and they're predicted to fall by another 0.5% before the end of the year. PETER: How about Latin America? JANE: Let's see... In Mexico there's been a fifteen percent increase this quarter. PETER: So, would you say Europe was our main area of concern right now? JANE: Yes, definitely. |

KIRSTEN: I have to give a presentation tomorrow in front of fifty people. Have you ever given a presentation before? Are you a good public speaker? JEN: Oh, at your company? KIRSTEN: Uh huh. JEN: Cool. You must be excited. KIRSTEN: No way! I'm not good at public speaking. JEN: Really? Why? There's nothing to be afraid of. Actually, I like speaking in front of people, I think it's exciting. KIRSTEN: Are you kidding? You're not scared of speaking in front of a big group? JEN: No, I think it's a piece of cake, as long as I have something interesting to talk about. KIRSTEN: Well, I don't think the topic is boring, I just get nervous about being in the spotlight like that. JEN: Hmm. Well, when I'm scared of something I just try to relax and take it easy. Just remember that your colleagues are interested in what you have to say. KIRSTEN: Maybe you're right. I don't think I'm good at it, but I guess giving a presentation is nothing to be scared of. JEN: Exactly. Just try to relax and I'm sure you'll be fine. |

 | Learn English 73 - Sightseeing Focus: Articles Language: Common words and phrases using definite, indefinite, and zero articles MS. ZHANG: Where do you want to go sightseeing today? MS. PHILLIPS: I want to visit this temple I've read about in the guide book. MS. ZHANG: OK, but I will buy the entrance ticket. MS. PHILLIPS: Oh, I didn't realize we have to pay to get in. MR. ZHANG: Yes, in China, there is a small fee to enter museums, parks and temples. MS. PHILLIPS: That's very different from back home . Have you ever heard of anyone paying to go to church? MR. ZHANG: You're right. In the West you don't make a direct payment at the entrance but the congregation is usually expected to make a contribution during collection . MS. PHILLIPS: Oh, you've been to England before? MR. ZHANG: Yes I went there last year. I had the time of my life , although it took a few days to adjust. The two cultures are so different. MS. PHILLIPS: Well, this is my first visit to China. And I've heard this temple is amazing. When was it built? MR. ZHANG: Pretty recently. About 150 years ago. MS. PHILLIPS: Well that seems very old to me. MR. ZHANG: Considering China's 5000 year history it's relatively new! MS. PHILLIPS: Do you go to that temple? MR. ZHANG: No, but my parents do. MS. PHILLIPS: To pray ? MR. ZHANG: No. Nowadays people just come to pray for good luck and money. MS. PHILLIPS: A similar trend is occurring in the West especially in regard to festivals. Many people still celebrate Christmas, although they might not be churchgoers . MR. ZHANG: Yes, it's interesting. We should find a taxi and go . |
