At exactly ten to ten Nick enters the Russia hotel and sees David in the lounge. They exchange gleetings and go to the car. A few minutes later they come to Pete's office. Now they are entering the office:

Pete: Good morning, David. I hope you had a good sleep and liked the hotel.

David: Thank you. The hotel and the restaurant are all right. We had a very nice evening at the restaurant. Everything was fine.

Pete: I also enjoyed last night. Now, shall we get down to business?

David: Yes, certainly. There are a few points to discuss. What would you like to start with?

Pete: If you don't mind, let's start with the time of the Pro­gramme. We are planning to send a group of ten per­sons not later than on the 10th of November.

David: How long will they stay?

Pete: They prefer to be in London for eight days or seven nights.

David: Good. Have you got any comments on the topics of the lectures?

Pete: On the whole the participants are quite satisfied with your choice. But if you could add "Accounting in com­panies and banks" it will be very good.

David: No problem. I'm making a note of that. We have got a very good lecturer.

Pete: And where will the lectures be read?

David: In one of the conference rooms of the hotel, where they will stay. I mean the Sherlock Holmes Hotel in Baker Street.

Pete: I hope it is in the centre of London.

David: Oh yes. It is very close to Oxford Street and Madam Tussaud's.

Pete: Very good. Then let's make a break for lunch.

David: Not a bad idea!

Telephoning

Text

Two weeks before the group is to leave Moscow for London Pete telephones David. His secretary answers the call.

Secretary:          International Management here, can I help you?

Pete:      Good afternoon. My name is Smirnov from Economtraining, Moscow, Russia. Could I speak to Mr. Hill, please?

Secretary: Hold on, please. I'll just see if Mr. Hill is available ... I'm putting you through.

Pete:      Thank you

David:   Speaking

Pete:      David, good afternoon. I am sorry to disturb you but we have a problem I am afraid

David:   What kind of problem is it?

Pete:      Well, you see, one of the participants has fallen ill and he won't be able to join the group.

David:  I'm certainly sorry to hear that. First I 'll have to make another reservation for a single room since the number of participants isn't even now. Besides it will cause changes in the Programme Fee.

Pete: Can you reduce the fee by one thousand pounds auto­matically?

David: I'm afraid it can't be done. Some of the expenses are not directly connected with the number of participants. For example hiring coaches for excursions, for airporthotel transfers and so on. I'll make calculations and send you the appropriate Amendment to the Contract.

Pete: Good. If I find the amended fee quite reasonable I shall immediately instruct the bank to make the transfer.

David: The reduction will be about nine hundred pounds and I hope you will pay for the Programme next week, as the Contract says.

Pete:  When you make calculations please remember it's a force majuere case. Neither we nor you are responsible. We should split the expenses involved.

David:  I agree with you and I'll take that into account. In an hour or so I'll send you the amendment.

David keeps his promise and sends the amendment in thirty min­utes. Pete finds the amended Programme Fee quite acceptable, signs the Amendment and sends it by fax to David

Travelling

Text

On the twelfth of November the group safely leaves the Sheremetievo airport and flies to London. They have seats in different compartments, for smokers and non-smokers, and in different rows. Practically they all have English speaking neighbours.

Here are a few extracts of their talks:

— It's a very nice plane, isn't it?

— Oh, yes, quite comfortable. By the way,    is smoking allowed here?

— Why, certainly. It's a smoking compartment.

— Have you got a lighter by any chance, please? Mine does not seem to work.

— Yes, here you are.

— Thank you.

— You are welcome.

— Excuse me, what's the time please?

— It's a quarter past ten.

— It's Moscow time, isn't it?

— Oh yes. If you want London time, then ... let me see ... the difference is three hours.

— I see, it's now a quarter past seven, London time.

— By the way do you know when we arrive in London?

— The steward says the flight is three hours forty minutes long. What time will it be? Oh, about eleven o'clock, London time.

— Then I'll adjust my watch in London.

— So shall I.

— Excuse me, may I have your newspaper please.

— Yes,certainly. Here you are.

— Thank you... Excuse my curiosity, are you Russian?

— Yes, I am. I'm going to London on a short stay.

— Are you a tourist then?

— No, I'm going to England for some training as a businessman.

— You speak very fluent English.

— I'm learning English after my office hours. There are        many Russian businessmen who are learning English.

— Good for you. But we Englishmen are lazy. Not many of us speak foreign languages.

— I like your self-criticism.

Passports

Text

When the plane arrives at the Heathrow airport the passengers get out of the plane and go into the building of the airport. After passing along endless corridors they get to the passport control point called Immigration. There are two gates. One is for passengers from EC (European Community) countries. And the other gate is for passengers from all other countries. After queuing up for some time Mr. Lvov and the group come up to the queue marshal who signals what officer is free. And each person goes to the counter indicated.

Here is a typical talk between the English Immigration officer and a Russian businessman:

Russian: Good morning.

Officer: Good morning, sir. May I see your passport and landing card, please?

Russian: Certainly. Here you are.

Officer: Thank you.... What's the reason for your visit to the UK?

Russian: I'm on a business tour to attend a training programme.

Russian: A week or so.

Officer: Have you got a return ticket?

Russian: Yes, certainly. Here is my ticket.

Officer: May I see the invitation of the company who will re­ceive you here?

Russian: Just a minute I'll ask our Group Leader to present it .... Here is the invitation.

Officer: Thank you .... Everything is OK. Here is your passport, ticket and the invitation.

Some Russian businessmen have difficulty in speaking with the English Immigration officers and answering then questions. Usually English officers do not like strangers to help them with interpreting. In such cases the officers ask their own interpreters for help. Most probably these interpreters are staff members of Immigration. For some Russian businessmen of the group it was the first experience with Englishmen and the only words they could say were:

I am sorry. I do not speak English.

Others could say a few words, like these:

I have come as a businessman for training. I shall stay in England for eight days. I shall stay at Sherlock Holmes hotel in London.
