quality and design of the silk handkerchiefs are not suitable,because the patterns with animals are not popular with Americans.Make a dialogue in pairs according to the given situation.Sample dialogue(part 1)A:Hello,Mr.Lin.Glad to meet you again.How is everything going?B:Im fine,thank you very much.What can I do for you?A:Ive been sent to discuss quality,quantity and other particulars of the goods with you.B:So,you must have received the samples and pattern books of our hand-embroidered silk products we sent last week.A:Yes,we studied them carefully after receipt.B:Do you have any questions?A:Oh yes.We find that the color and quality of your silk scarfs are satisfactory,but the quality and design of the silk handkerchiefs are not suitable.Im sorry to say that we dont like them at all.Sample dialogue(part 2)B:As far as I know,there cant be any problem with the quality of our silk handkerchiefs.As you know,silks are one of Chinas traditional exports.Theyre highly reputed for their quality.In fact,theyre selling well in European markets.As regarding patterns,could you please tell me in detail?A:The patterns with animals are not popular with Americans and Im afraid that they may not be salable.B:Really?Are you joking?Anyway,its easy to solve that problem.Here are our latest designs.You can choose what you like.A:These designs are so lovely that theyll appeal to the most selective consumers.Id like to order two of them:Silk Handkerchief No.10:4,000 dozens;No.12:2,000 dozens.B:Im glad that you add your order.Activity 2 One of your customers is going to place an order with your company.Youve talked about payment terms for his imported machine parts.Now you should talk about the inspection of the cargos.Your customer would like to reinspect the goods at the destination.Try to make a dialogue based on the given situation.Sample dialogue(part 1)A:Mr.Wang,weve talked about payment terms for your imported machine parts.Now shall we talk about the inspection of the cargos?B:Sure,Mr.Wilson.The inspection of a commodity is an integral part of the contract.A:Yes.But as you know,Mr.Wang,weve gone through the inspection of the cargos before delivery at the port of shipment.Do you think its still necessary to have them reinspected at the destination?B:Im afraid it is.Its a common practice in international trade today that the exporters have the right to inspect export goods before delivery,while the importers have the right to reinspect the goods after their arrival.Sample dialogue(part 2)A:Oh,Mr.Wang,I quite understand your situation on this point.So you have to engage a surveyor as soon as possible.B:As a matter of fact,weve had the best surveyor,the China Import and Export Commodity Inspection Bureau,which has a prestigious fame all around the world.A:Ive heard about this bureau.So where will you plan to have the cargos reinspected?B:The end user is the Baotou Iron and Steel Corporation.So its appropriate to have reinspection go through there.A:Well,I suppose that the time limit for reinspection is within 60 days after the arrival of the goods.Sample dialogue(part 3)B:Yes.Well complete the reinspection within the time limit.A:Thats fine.I hope the result of your reinspection will coincide with that of our inspection.B:So do I,and I hope theres no occasion for any disagreeable things to happen.Activity 3 If your company will export a batch of household electric appliances to Russia but you dont know how to apply for inspection,you need to consult the surveyor about inspection.Discuss this topic with your partners and then make a dialogue to show what and how you have discussed.Sample dialogue(part 1)D:Our company will export a batch of household electric appliances to Russia.How should I apply for inspection?Z:Export from our port or from the shipping place?D:We want to ship them from inland to Russia directly by train.Z:In that case,inspection can be carried out in the shipping place where the inspection and quarantine institution will issue a certificate if the result is qualified.D:What documents should I provide?Z:Some necessary certificates such as the frontier trade contract or order form,letter of credit,invoice,etc.Sample dialogue(part 2)D:What if the letter of credit is revised after inspection?Z:Then you have to apply for the change and you will be reinspected.D:When should I apply for inspection?Z:Please apply to the entry-exit inspection and quarantine institution for inspection twenty days before you ship for export.D:Thank you.Part Five HomeworkTask 1 Your customer has

so?So far we havent had any complaint of this kind.I II check why the goods were underweight.A:This made us lose a lot of money,so we feel that you should fix up the problems and make it up to us.B:Though everything may be as you say,there are many factors involved.A:Well,whats more,we feel that the percentage of the goods of inferior quality was too high.Sample dialogue(part 3)B:Is that so?We are really at a loss to understand what you described.As everybody knows,our goods have enjoyed a good reputation for their superior quality for years in the world.Complaints about the quality are very rare indeed.A:Yes,your products enjoy high prestige in the world.Thats why we ordered your goods.B:OK,I promise Ill check into these problems,and find out if it was our fault.A:Well,Ill be waiting for your result several days later.B:If we really find that the error occurred in the factory upon investigation,we would accept your claim on it.Sample dialogue(part 4)A:You can make amends for the losses by replacing all of the inferior products,and paying for the business we have lost.B:OK,one of my people will go to your company tomorrow to talk about what replacements are needed.A:I
