You will hear another five short recordings.
For each recording, decide the focus of each speaker’s talk.
Write one letter(A-H)next to the number of the recording.
Do not use any letter more than once.
After you have listened once, replay the recordings.
You have 15 seconds to read the list A-H.
[Pause]
Now listen, and decide the focus of each speaker’s talk.

Obviously, China is beginning to boom. You are opening up to the outside world and I’m sure that your policy will not abruptly swing back and forth.
The future looks secure for making long-term business arrangements with your country, and I’m very pleased to say that my company has been successful enough to expand and develop.
We are looking for a long-term customer. So I think the situation is right for us to talk about a long-term agreement.

I had a look around just now. I found some very excellent exhibits displayed in the hall. I’m particularly interested in those brightly coloured and beautifully designed skills.
I wish I could have them all. Can you give me a price list with specifications? I’ll let you know the quantity as soon as possible.
I also saw the dyed corduroy in the show windows. It may be very remarkable in my country. Do you think we could order some right away?

Your rate is surely simple to calculate, but, as I said before, I do not insist on this claim because we want to eventually use it.
Rather, I hope there will be no defect or as few defects as possible so that we’ll never have to lodge a claim with you.
From this point of view, I suggest we adopt a progressive penalty rate. I think this progressive rate is actually more to your advantage if you have confidence in your products.

The goods will be inspected by the China Commodity Inspection Bureau. It will then issue a certificate of quality and a certificate of weight. These will be taken as final and binding. Also, you have the right to reinspect the goods after their arrival.
But I can assure you that the case of short weight or disqualification is not likely to happen. Our goods must be up to export standards before the Inspection Bureau releases them.

Before unloading, our surveyors went on board and found the holds all in sound condition. It’s evident that the rust is due to poor workmanship. It should be admitted the rust was not scoured off completely before electroplating. As a result, the coating would certainly not hold. You can see it from the photos.
We demand the return of all goods. With so many faulty instruments in hand, our project will surely be delayed. We hope you will make up for our toss.
