Palmer: Hello, Mr Tang, how are you？ It is nice to meet you again.
Tang: How are you？ Mr Palmer．It's really a pleasure to see you here again．I do hope you have had a very enjoyable trip from London.
Palmer: I must confess that the air trip is really a long one．But, you see, the air-lines are very comfortable so that one does not feel tired at all the end of the journey.
Tang: Glad you have had a pleasant trip．I have to doubt you are comfortably settled and find things at the hotel satisfactory.
Palmer: Everything is perfect, thank you．Well, now, Mr Tang, if you don't mind, I'll talk shop with you directly.
Tang: Perfectly all right with me．In fact, we'd better talk over our business first and then have a chat afterwards．You wish to take up the subject of the Arbutus, don't you ？
Palmer: That's right．You see, Mr Tang, you have probably been advised of the serious damage done to the last consignment of 60 cases of Arbutus．Upon its arrival in London on board s．s．Coma, it was found, much to our regret, that about 50% of the cases were leaking．Closer inspection by the Health Officers showed that the contents were considered unfit for human consumption.
Tang: Just a minute, if you please, Mr Palmer．Have your people in London discovered what were the exact causes of the leakage？ It was rather a singular case, for thousands of tons of this product have been exported and this seems to be the only case of having been damaged en route.
Palmer: I am sorry I have to say it was not en route．It was definitely damaged prior to loading onto the s．s．Coma．You may think it a singular case, yet the fact remains that this has made it necessary for us to file a claim on you．Here, Mr．Tang, I have brought along with me the certificate issued by the London Health Officer．It speaks for itself．As to the causes, closer inspection and examination by our cargo handling people revealed that the leakage of juice was brought about by damaged tins．They were evidently broken through careless handling while being loaded into the ship's hold in Shanghai dock.
Tang: As I have said before, the whole business is most unfortunate．We have never come across such a case of damage during loading.
Palmer: I have to remind you that our terms are C.I．F London port．While we have full confidence in your Commodities Inspection Bureau in its capacity of quality inspection, this is a case which occured after their sampling and analysis at the works．And the broken tins through careless handling and deterioration of contents en route necessarily about this state of affairs．Now, Mr Tang, you are well aware that our business has just started this branch of activities and the losses thus sustained will be a blow to this department．I am sure you will think it fair on our part when we suggest that the total value of the parcel should be reduced by 50% and that you should give us an allowance by way of credit for the amount to be set against our future purchases of canned fruits from you.
Tang: To be fair to your company, I am directed by my Shanghai Branch to settle this issue with you amicably on condition that you give us a certificate issued by your Health Department．Now that this is available, I think everything will be in order.
Palmer: I am so glad to hear of your ready agreement．Your fairness in business dealings is really unsurpassed．Shall we send you a letter confirming this？
Tang: As soon as you send us a letter confirming this conversation, we'll send you a reply immediately.
Palmer: Thanks ever so much for your co-operation, Mr Tang．Good-bye.
Tang: Good-bye Mr Palmer．Come over here when you are through with your business and we'll have a friendly chat.
Dialogue : Beautiful Packing
John: Glad to see you again, Sherman.
Sherman: Hi, glad to see you too.
John: Please, sit down．Would you like to try our new tea？
Sherman: Great! The main purpose of my visit today is to place another order of your Longjing tea．Actually, we will place regular orders from now.
John: Oh, it is a good news for us．I have the confidence that our tea won't make you disappointed.
Sherman: That is true．But before that, I'd like to talk something about the packing of Longjing tea.
John: Did you find any problems with the packing？
Sherman: No．My meaning is to improve the packing of your Longjing tea．There is no doubt that the quality of your tea is good．It is the packing that often gives the first impression on customers rather than the products themselves so we believe the packing is as important as the quality of the products themselves.
John: I agree with you．But could you be in details？
Sherman: Sure．Firstly, we believe the out-look of the package should attract customer．A beautiful packing is surely a great help in pushing sales．To be honest, your packing is not attractive enough to buyers.
John: Do you mean the color of the design should be more bright and eye-catching7
Sherman: Eye-catching with traditional Chinese style．You see, customers even can smell your culture before they open the box and drink the tea．As you know, one function of packing is to stimulate the buyer's desire to buy.
John: I'll pass your idea onto our designers and ask them to improve it.
Sherman: Thank you John．Secondly, if it is possible, we would like to advise you to improve your methods of packing.
John: Our packing is typical tin for tea．Any questions about this method of packing？
Sherman: I am thinking about how to let your packing speak for the good quality of the tea itself．Can we find some other packing ways to show off the appealing green and sl~ape of the tea？
John: We can leave an open window on packing.
Sherman: You get the point.
John: Thanks for your suggestion.
"Yes. I'm glad they've finally decided to clean them," the nurse answered. She looked at Mum strangely and said, "But aren't you working late？"
Mum just pushed harder, each swipe of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall. I watched until she was out of sight and the nurse had turned back to writing in the big book.

Outside, Mum told me: "Dagmar is fine. No fever."
"You saw her, Mum？"
"Of course. I told her about the hospital rules, and she will not expect us until tomorrow. Dad will stop worrying as well. It's a fine hospital. But such floors! A mop is no good. They need a brush."

"Yes, I'm glad they finally decided to clean them," the nurse answered. She looked at mum and said "But aren't you working ate.
