商务英语课presentation：MONEY
Paper money was introduced in China as Feiqian, or "flying money," when tea merchants in the Tang Dynasty wished to safely transfer their profits. They purchased vouchers from liaison offices organized by the provincial governments. These vouchers served to guarantee cash when presented in the province. The first printed paper money was introduced in the Song Dynasty. The design of the print money showed a rabbit kissing a needle. The popularity of paper money was revived in the 19th century under Western influence.
Prior to the use of currency, the Chinese used the method of bartering, or the exchange of goods without the use of currency or money. The bartering system was in place from 9000 to 6000 B.C. The Chinese bartered with livestock and later used crops left over from harvest.

Effective listening Most salespeople are natural talkers. But even a great speaker will only get so far without also listening. Taking the time to ask your prospects questions and really listening to the answers shows respect and will give you a clearer idea of what they really want. So how can you tell if you're doing enough listening? The next time you call a prospect, ask an open-ended question and then stay silent for at least a minute. By forcing yourself to be quiet, you will notice how eager you are to jump in and say something before the prospect has stopped talking. Ensure that you not only listen but also understand, be sure to ask some follow-up questions so that your prospect knows that you have listened effectively.

《高级商务英语写作》参考答案
Advanced Business English WritingSuggested Answers to Task-based ExercisesChapter One1. Information control1). The recommendations should be placed after the conclusions.2). Point 3d should not have been included.Language control1). The style of the sentence,I’ve been asked to… in the Terms of Reference is far too personal.2). In 4b the word must creates a hard tone that is inappropriate for addressing the vice-president of personnel.Presentation techniques1). Conclusions should not be indented in section 5.2). There is inconsistency in bracketing or not bracketing the letters.4. Certain changes should be made to the letter:1) Catherine Porter could address Audrey Maxwell as “Dear Mrs Maxwell”, rather than “Dear Madam”.2) She could use “I” rather than “we”. “We” is a way of hiding behind your company, avoiding responsibility. You should only use it if you really mean the company as a whole.3) She could replace formal expressions like “We acknowledge receipt”with more informal ones.4) She could use the active rather than the passive voice. “I have credited youraccount” rather than “Your account has been credited”. The first sounds friendlier, the second is very impersonal.5) She could be more apologetic about the company’s error. Nothing is more annoying that receiving a letter in which the company admits to having made a mistake but does not bother to apologize.6) She could be more tactful in turning down Mrs Maxwell’s request for compensation. There is no reason not to be firm if the situation calls for it, but you can be firm and friendly.5.To: Forest Guard Corp.Attention: Ms.Wang, Marketing ManagerFax No.: 26435783From: Xiang Yan, Designing Dept.Date: 16 June, 2009Subject: Printing Business CardsPages: ThisDear Ms. Wang,6.From ************************Date 25:7:03 16:06:29To *********************Subject Petty Cash VouchersJohnSome of the staff from your department are still bringing their petty cash vouchers to me. However taken over by Martin in Accounts last month.Please inform your staff that they should deal with Martin in future.Thanks for your help John.Chapter Two2.①e ②c ③a ④b ⑤d ⑥f6. This is an amended version of the previous letter. The staff should feel some sympathy with the company’s situation from the wording of this second attempt. They may feel peeved about the small increase, but they will probably also feel grateful that they still have a job.Chapter Three1.a)Stephen is writing to inform his manager of his resignation. The word resignationin the subject heading “My resignation”and in the first paragraph, “I am writing to inform you of my intention to resign from G & S Holdings.”b)He used polite phrases for the following reasons:●He wants to break the news as gently as possible, to avoid annoying the manager.Staff resignations cause trouble for a manager, as the manager then has to recruit another member of staff, which is a time-consuming, expensive and troublesome process.●He's writing to the Regional Manager, who has a higher status in the company.●He may want a good reference letter.●He may want Katherine Chu to be a referee for him in future.The polite phrases are:●“I have appreciated very much my four years...”●“I have gained valuable experience working within an efficient and professionalteam environment. In particular, I have appreciated your personal guidance...”●“Once again, thank you for your support.”c)“I would like to leave, if possible,..” This is tentative becase it uses a conditionalsentence (conditional sentences use “If” and have a comma in the middle).“I hope that this suggested arrangement is acceptable to the company”. This is tentative because of the word “h ope”.2.a)Hugo wants to present the information logically: what caused the memo, theinvestigation and finally the request for action.(Note: He has cleverly 'hidden' the fact that non-smokers only have a majority of 1 in the middle of the text, emphasizing the request for action and the fact that the memo comes from the Staff Liaison Committee. He is attempting to influence Sandra to implement the request, even though many people voted against it.)b) Bold headings are clearer: the different parts are separated and summarized.3.To: Ovations Management TeamFrom: Daniel Bush, managerDate: June 3, 2003Subject: Welcoming John SmithI am pleased to announce that John Smith has agreed to join the Ovations Management Team as a senior vice president reporting to me. John joins us as we explore additional strategies relating to our Evercare business, including end-of-life care and the comprehensive health services that are needed to assist terminally ill individuals and their families.We are very fortunate to have John’s leadership as we expand our scope for growth.

The training has been excellent and I have gained valuable experience working within an efficient and professional team environment. In particular, I have appreciated your personal guidance during these first years of my career.I feel now that it is time to further develop my knowledge and skills base in a different environment.I would like to leave, if possible, in a month's time on Saturday, 1 June. This will allow me to complete my current workload. I hope that this suggested arrangement is acceptable to the company.5.(a)The subsidiary’s financial statements showed worrying trends in its business.

It is generally felt that the company competitors offer higher levels of remuneration.There appears to be a lack of information and resources needed for employees to do a good job. They also lack the necessary skills to meet the requirements of the job.Measures5.IntroductionThis proposal aims at preparing a detailed program of activities for a group of business people from the foreign trade delegation who will visit our company next month.FindingsAfter serious consideration, I have arranged a series of activities for them. Firstly, I will show them around our company, especially some main departments, to show our corporate culture to them. Meanwhile, I would introduce our companyfor the guests. Secondly, some business lectures would be carried out for the purpose of better communication between two sides. These lectures are given by business experts who are invited honorably.
