1．Sample Letter 1 Urge Early Shipment of the Goods OrderedDear Sirs,Re: Contract No. 12345Referring to our previous emails, we wish to call your attention to the fact that up to the present moment no news has come from you about the shipment under the captioned contract.As you have been informed in one of our previous emails, the users are in urgent need of the goods contracted and are in fact pressing us for assurance of early delivery.Under the circumstances, it is obviously impossible for us to again extend L/C No.2566, which expires on 19 august, and we feel it our duty to remind you of this matter again.As your prompt attention to shipment is most desirable to all parties concerned, we hope you will let us have our shipping advice without further delays.Yours faithfully, 2.Sample Letter 2 Asking for Early Shipment of the GoodsDear Sirs,With reference to Contract No.PON45 covering the 50,000 metric tons walnuts, we believe that amendment to the relative letter of credit has been made and has reached you already. We should like to solicit your cooperation to expedite shipment. Yesterday our clients came to us with the request that 30,000 metric tons of walnuts be shipped during March and the remainder in April as they are in urgent need of them.We presume that you must have received a lot of bookings for this commodity from abroad, resulting in a tight shipping schedule; nevertheless, we venture to write to you, hoping that you will see your way to accommodate us. Thank you in advance for your kind cooperation.Yours faithfully,3.Sample Letter 3 Advice of ShipmentDear Sirs,We are pleased to inform you that all the goods ordered on the indent enclosed with your letter of 5 July have been shipped by s.s. Jointway, which sailed from London yesterday and is due to arrive at Alexandria on 8 September. As requested, the consignment will be handled on arrival at Alexandria by Messrs. Johnson & Co., who will make all the arrangements for its delivery to you. We have impressed upon them the need for urgency. The bill of lading and invoice, and also our account for commission and charges, are enclosed. The suppliers have been informed that you will settle their account direct. We look forward to hearing from you that the goods have arrived safely and in good order and that you are pleased with them.Yours faithfully,4.Sample Letter 4 Asking for Sole AgencyDear Sirs,We have learnt from the Chamber of Commerce that your company is handling the export business of silk garments. They told us that you are not directly represented in London, so today we are writing to offer our services as your sole agent.We have a well-developed sales organization there and are represented by a large staff in various parts of the country. When we have studied their reports, we conclude that there will be good prospects of a very profitable market for your products, because there is a steadily growing demand for such goods.In view of the wide connections and 10 years’ experience in pushing the sale of this line, we are confident that we can work up a very satisfactory business with you. If you agree that 6% commission on net sales is reasonable and other terms satisfactory, we are prepared to guarantee payment of all accounts, for which we should require a Del Credere commission of 2%.As for our financial and credit standing, we would refer you to the Bank of China, London, who has consented to answer all your inquiries about our company.We hope to hear favorably from you and feel sure that we could come to an agreement as to terms.Yours faithfully,5．This contract is written both in English and Chinese.

There is a detectable shift from an exaggerated view about the potency of so-called Keynesian tools to a far-reaching agnosticism about their ability to produce, in an uncertain world, a sustained full employmentgrowth without intolerable price and balance-of-payments instabilities. At present, the opprobrium falls on policies which are blamed for retardation in the rates of economic activity, disharmonious growth, and the combined evils of slump and inflation, but which are erroneously identified as Keynesian economics.9．It was a day as fresh as grass growing up and clouds going over and butterflies coming down can make it .It was a day compounded from silences of bee and flower and ocean and land, which were not silences at all, but motions, stirs, flutters, risings, fallings, each in its own time and matchless rhythm. The land did not move, but moved. The sea was not still, yet was still. Paradox flowed into paradox, stillness mixed with stillness, sound with sound. The flowers vibrated and the bees fell in separate and small showers of golden rain on the clover. The seas of hill and the seas of ocean were divided, each from the other's motion, by a railroad track, empty, compounded of rust and iron marrow, a track on which, quite obviously, no train had run in many years. Thirty miles north it swirled on away to further mists of distance, thirty miles south it tunneled islands of cloud-shadow that changed their continental positions on the sides of far mountains as you watched.10．She is in search of a goal that has eluded many U.S. cities ---- a way to keep her own city's image as a clean, green place to live, yet make way for the growth that would mean more jobs and preserve prosperity.11.I haven't talked to a single coastal state that isn't doing some hard thinking about this and where the government isn't starting to put together some plans.12 .Its wings ,as the photographs had indicated, were its most startling feature. Except that the photographs hadn't prepared us for the actuality. In proportion to the length of the fuselage, which was some forty feet, they stretched out to more than eighty.13．This AGREEMENT entered into as of March 28,1992,between ABC company, a Chinese company (the "Borrower") and CREDIT BANK,N.A., a national banking association of the United States of America(the "Bank")WITNESSETH:WHEREAS, the borrower has requested the Bank to extend to the Borrower a term loan in the principal amount of One Million United States Dollars (U.S.$1,000,000)upon the terms and subject to the Conditions of this Agreement; and WHEREAS, the Bank is prepared to make such a loan available to the Borrower upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement;NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein , the parties agree as follows:Article 2 The LoanSection 2.1.

But beneath that humble exterior beats an air-cooled engine. It won't boil over and ruin your piston rings. It won't freeze over and ruin your life. It's in the back of the car for better traction in snow and sand. And it will give you about 29 miles to a gallon of gas.After a while you get to like so much about the VW, you even get to like what it looks like.You find that there's enough legroom for almost anybody's legs. Enough headroom for almost anybody's head. With a hat on it. Sungfitting bucket seats. Doors that close so well you can hardly close them. They're so airtight, it's better to open the window a crack first.Those plain, unglamorous wheels are each suspended independently. So when a bump makes one wheel bounce, the bounce doesn't make the other wheel bump. It's things like that you pay the $1 585 for, when you buy a VW. The ugliness doesn't add a thing to the cost of the car.That's the beauty of it.15．Dear Guests,Ladies and Gentlemen,I am very pleased to come to Washington in this beautiful autumn for the fourth meeting of the China-US High Technology and Strategic Trade Working Group. This is an important meeting before the upcoming 20th JCCT and will greatly promote high-tech trade between the two countries. Hereby, on behalf of MOFCOM，I would like to congratulate on the meeting and extend my sincere thanks to DOC, NAM and all the organizers for their hard efforts.As Vice Minister of Commerce in charge of high-tech trade and export control, I am deeply aware of the significance of this job. Mutual trust is the key to and communication the basis for expanding high-tech trade between China and the US. With government officials and business representatives from both sides sitting down together, this meeting will play an important role in boosting mutual understanding and mutual trust between the Chinese and US governments and industries, ensuring the sound development of Sino-US high-tech trade, and benefiting the two peoples.Now let me share with you my following observations.First, on China-US economic and trade relationshipThe year 2009 is very important and meaningful for China-US relationship. It is in this year that the two sides agreed on the new positioning of the relationship and were jointly committed to building a positive, cooperative and comprehensive China-US relationship in the 21st century. The two sides have witnessed frequent and fruitful exchanges of high-level official visits.China-US economic and trade ties are an important foundation and component of the relationship. Since the two countries established diplomatic relationship 30 years ago, bilateral economic and trade relations have developed steadily and soundly thanks to the joint efforts of the two governments and business communities. According to Chinese figures, bilateral trade in goods reached US$ 333.7 billion in2019, quadrupling that of 2019 with an average annual growth rate of 19.5%. The US export to China stood at US$ 81.5 billion, trebling that of 2019 with an average annual growth rate of 15.2%. The two countries are each other’s second largest trading partner. The US is the second largest export market of China and its sixth largest source of import, while China is the third largest export destination and the biggest import source of the US, and has been the fastest growing major export market of the US for 7 years in a row. The two countries have launched all-dimensional cooperation in areas of trade, investment, science and technology, energy and environment. The scale and scope of cooperation has been enlarged, and the cooperation is rich in contents and takes various forms. The two countries are strongly complementary in economy, closely linked and highly interdependent.At this moment, we are experiencing a rarely seen financial crisis. With the world economy mired in the worst situation since the Great Depression of the last century, China is facing severe challenges in economic development, and China-US trade and economic cooperation has also been affected. As a responsible major country, China has taken a positive and responsible attitude in the crisis. It has decisively adopted a stimulus package and identified domestic demand expansion as the basic standing point of economic growth. In the first half of this year, fixed assets investment increased faster and consumption demand picked up steadily and rapidly. Industrial enterprises above designated size grew with each passing month, and banks enjoyed abundant liquidity. All those signs suggest that positive changes have taken place in the Chinese economy and the situation is better than expected. The steady development of Ch ina’s economy will provide other countries with more opportunities and jobs, and will help boost confidence in the world economy.The Chinese side places great emphasis on China-US trade and economic cooperation. Last April, MOFCOM and relevant chambers of commerce and trade associations organized a series of promoting activities in 16 cities of 14 states in the US，attended by 197 entrepreneurs representing 84 companies from China. Those activities included over 60 economic and trade forums, signing of agreements on trade and investment projects and investment environment study tours. The signed trade and investment agreements involved a total value of US$ 18.34 billion. During the visit of Wu Bangguo, NPC Standing Committee Chairman, to the US early this month, 41 cooperation agreements were signed between Chinese and American companies with a total value of US$ 12.4 billion. That has fully testified to the unequivocal commitment of the Chinese government to opposing trade protectionism with real action and responding to the crisis with strengthened cooperation in the difficult situation.Dear friends,Cooperation is the only right choice for us to tackle the crisis in today’s world of in-depth globalization. Under whatever circumstances, both sides should treat and deal with China-US economic and trade ties from a strategic height and a long-term perspective. We should adhere to the guideline of “resolving disputes by cooperation and promoting development by cooperation”, identify and expand the convergence of interests, and seek the overall development of China-US trade and economic cooperation. (To be continued)16．Sony plunged deeper into crisis yesterday after the consumer electronics group warned it would suffer its first full-year operating loss in 14 years as it tries to cope with the global economic downturn and strong yen.The warning came on a day of gloom for the technology sector as weakeningconsumer demand prompted Microsoft to launch its first company-wide job cuts in its 34-year history with up to 5,000 jobs to go. Nokia also revealed a fall in 2019 profits and issued a gloomy forecast of a 10 per cent fall in global industry sales of mobile phones. In Korea, LG Electronics reported its first net loss in seven quarters as margins for its handsets and flat-panel TVs fell amid a price war.Sony's forecast of a Y260bn ($2.9bn) operating loss in the year to March 2009 was worse than even the most pessimistic market forecasts, intensifying pressure on its management to turn the company round.17Competition often means waiting for people to make a choice.That was the case with VCRs, video cassette recorders. During the 1980s, people had two choices: VHS and Betamax. The VHS format won the competition. Betamax disappeared from all but professional use.More recently, the VHS, or video home system, format has been disappearing as people choose DVD players.But now the two newest kinds of DVD players are in competition. Blu-ray and HD DVD are both designed for use with high definition televisions. These produce bigger, sharper pictures. They work best when showing movies or TV programs made in true high definition.But high def takes up more memory, so a new kind of DVD, digital video or versatile disc, was needed.Blu-ray and HD DVD are similar in technology. Both use a blue laser to read the information on the disc. But HD DVDs cost less to produce. They can be made with existing equipment, while Blu-ray DVDs cannot. But a Blu-ray disc holds more memory: about fifty gigabytes compared to thirty gigabytes for an HD DVD.Two major Hollywood studios, Paramount Pictures and Universal Pictures, have agreed to release movie only in HD DVD. The Toshiba company is the main supplier of the players.Sony, on the other hand, supports the Blu-ray format, as do the movie makers at Walt Disney, Twentieth Century Fox and MGM.Then earlier this month, Hollywood's biggest seller of DVDs announced its choice in the fight between Blu-ray and HD DVD. Warner Brothers will support only Blu-ray starting in June.The company says having two kinds of high definition DVDs on the market has led to confusion with the buying public. So far, sales of the new high-definition disc players have been slow. An estimated one million players of both kinds have been sold.This week, Toshiba announced that it would cut the price of its HD DVD players by forty to fifty percent. Some of its players are now under two hundred dollars.But many people think Blu-ray has won the competition with HD DVD. Time will tell. For those who cannot make up their minds, there are some players that can play both 18．Shenzhen (October 12)--Hosted by the Ministry of Commerce, the China-US Industrial Technology Cooperation Forum was held in Shenzhen, as part of the 2019 China Hi-Tech Fair. Vice-Minister Liao Xiaoqi and US Consulate General Robert Goldberg attended and addressed the event.Liao noted that China-US trade was in a positive territory in recent years, with a win-win pattern established in bilateral trade and the two countries becoming eachother’s second largest trade partner.Since 2000, US export towards China enjoyed an annual growth rate of 22.6%, 4.7 times its global export. By the end of 2019, over 50,000 US-invested ventures were established in China, accounting for a total turnover of 10 billion US dollars.Liao also pointed out that, given the immense scale of China-US trade, it was understandable that conflicts might occur occasionally. It was advisable, however, to address these issues in a practical and flexible way. A long-term, steady economic relationship between US and China was beneficial to both countries.Chinese government, Liao also observed, attached great importance to technological innovation, and was promoting the idea of an innovative nation.The forum was co-hosted by China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products and the US Information Industry Organization.Before the meeting, Liao met with the representatives attending the event, and visited the US exhibition center in the Hi-Tech Fair.19．Internet giant Google is Briton’s favorite brand for the second year in a row, according to marketing magazine's annual survey.This year's list showed how much the British people love the online world, with internet retailer Amazon the third favorite brand and auction site eBay fifth.Mobile phone manufacturer Nokia was second in the most loved list.The Finnish company was founded in 1865 and originally made paperle service provider O2 was 10th on the most loved list. Meanwhile, 3 was ninth on the most hated list.Supermarket giant Tesco dropped from second to fourth on the most loved list. While browsing the aisles of Tesco, you might buy some Persil (eighth on the list) or a Heinz product (ninth).British Airways is Briton’s sixth most-loved brand.Coca-Cola is the real thing at number seven. Atlanta pharmacist John Stith Pemberton created the famous drink in 1886.There's a thin line between love and hate, and the brands on the top 10 most hated list are every bit as famous as their much loved counterpartsping the most hated list once again is Pot Noodle.Food dominates the top of the list, with McDonald's in second place.The burger chain first opened in the UK in 1974.The Sun newspaper was sixth in the most hated list. The Daily Star also featured in the top 10 at number eight.In the corporate world of football, Manchester United are a brand as much as a team and stand at number seven in the list.Scotland's favourite drink, Irn Bru, has shot up to number 10 in the list.Others in the most hated top 10 include orange drink Sunny Delight at four and washing powder Novon at five.。

Long accused of wrecking small-town America and condemned for the stinginess of its pay, the company has lately come under fire for its meanness over employees’ health-care benefits.The charge is arguably unfair: the firm’s health cover age, while admittedly less extensive than the average for big companies, is on a par with other retailers’. But bad publicity, coupled with rising costs, has stirred the Bentonville giant to action. Wal-Mart is making changes that should shift the ground i n America’s health-care debate.One strategy is to slash the prices of many generic, or out-of-patent, prescription drugs. Wal-Mart recently announced that its Florida stores would sell a list of some 300 generic drugs at $4 for a month’s supply; other st ates will follow. That is above cost but far less than the prices charged by many pharmacy chains, which get profits from fat margins on generics.Wal-Mart’s critics dismiss the move as a publicity stunt. The list of drugs includes only 143 different medicines and excludes many popular generics. True, but short-sighted. Wal-Mart has transformed retailing by using its size to squeeze suppliers and passing the gains on to consumers. It could do the same with drugs. Target, another big retailer, has already announced that it will match the new pricing. A “Wal-Mart effect” in drugs will not solve America’s health-costs problem: generics account for only a small share of drug costs, which in turn make up only 10% of overall health spending.But it would help. (High risk, high reward (excerpt), The Economist, Oct 12th 2006)。

It’ll be difficult for us to make any sales.A: You must be aware that the price of jasmine tea has been increasing.B: But Vietnamese suppliers give a lower price than yours. A: Every one in the trade knows that Chinese jasmine tea is far more superior.B: I don’t deny the quality of your jasmine tea. Butcompetition is keen. Many suppliers are in fact cutting their prices to try to attract more customers and get a larger market share.A: So far, our product can handle the competition well. We’ve had many orders and more are coming. It just shows that our product is competitive and our price is attractive.2. A: Here is our price list. All the prices are subject to our final confirmation.B: By the way, do you allow any commission?A: Well, our prices are quoted on an FOB net basis. As a rule, we don’t allow any commission.B: But you know, we’re a commissioned agent. We do business on a commission basis.

6.China is fielding its largest-ever Olympic team at the upcoming Beijing Games,with 639 athletes competing in all 28 sports.The Chinese team will attempt to surpass the 32 gold medals won at the Athens Olympics,four less than the United States.7.A Japanese media report says Japan and China have reached a compromise and agreed to jointly develop gas fields and share profits in disputed areas of the East China Sea8.The number of newly laid-off U.S.workers rose last week,the latest sign that the economic downturn is affecting the job market.A report Thursday from the Labor Department said the number of people applying for unemployment benefits for thefirst time rose 22-thousand,to 378-thousand.9.Chinese economy suffered only a mild setback in the first quarter of 2008,and remains resilient despite inflation and worsening global credit crisis.10.Praise and encouragement also makes employees more likely to work hard and stay in their jobs,saving on the cost of finding replacements.Part II Translate the following passages into Chinese.Passage 1Most Americans believe someone isn't grown up until age 26,probably with a completed education,a full-time job,a family to support and financial independence,a survey said.But they also believe that becoming an official grown-up is a process that takes five years from about the age of 20,concluded the report from the University of Chicago's National Opinion Research Center.The findings were based on a representative sample of 1398 people over age 18The poll found the following ages at which people expect the transitions to grown-up status to be completed:age 20.9 self-supporting;21.1 no longer living with parents;21.2 full-time job;22.3 education complete;24.5 being able to support a family financially;25.7 married;and 26.2 having a child."There is a large degree of consensus across social groups on the relative importance of the seven transitions,"said Tom Smith,director of the survey.The only notable pattern of differences is on views about supporting a family,having a child and getting married."Older adults and the widowed and married rate these as more important than younger adults and the never-married do,"he added."This probably reflects in large part a shift in values across generations away from traditional family values.”The most valued step toward reaching adulthood,the survey found,was completing an education,followed by full-time employment,supporting a family,financial independence,living independently of parents,marriage and parenthoodPassage 2Spend less than you earn.This is perhaps the most worn out,overused phrase in the world of personal finance.But guess what?It's also the single most important financial lesson you'll ever learn.No matter how hard you work and how much money you earn,you'll never achieve financial security if you spend more than you earn,so......do whatever it takes to make sure that this doesn't happen.This takes self-discipline,and might require constructing a budget,but if you ever want to get to a point where you can afford all the little niceties in life,you need to make it happen.Plan for the future.I've been where you are,and I know that"the future"seems like it's a million miles away.Do yourself a favor.Sit down and define short,intermediate,and long-term goals and then put together a plan for getting there.It's not easy, and you probably won't get it right at first but once you do this,you'll have something concrete to work from(and to modify in the future).Start small an work your way up.Be patient.Building a solid financial foundation takes time.Don't look for shortcuts or try to strike it rich overnight with the latest hot investment tip.Likewise,don't make major financial decisions without fully considering the ramifications.This isn't to say that you should be paralyzed fear.Rather,you need to do your homework.Turn those unknowns into knowns, and then make an informed decision.Learn form your mistakes.Nobody's perfect.You're bound to make mistakes,especially when you're just starting out.The important thing is to learn from them and move forward.If you make a bad financial decision,make a note of it and get yourself back on track.Don't beat yourself up,and don't throw in the towel.Part III Translate the following passages into EnglishPassage 1亲爱的布莱克先生：从您5月16日来函获知我公司销售代表敷衍草率，我深感苦恼。
