lntroductionABOUT BUSI N ESS START.U P

Course tength

Business Start-up 2 consists of 1,2 units of threelessons each. The course should provide 50-60 hoursof ctassroom mater ia l , which can easi ly be extended to70-80 hours wíth the use of Íhe optÍonalactivÍties andResource sheets in the Teacher's Book. The Workbookprovides an addit ional 10-15 hours of sel f-study pract iceand the accompany ing CD-R0M can be used a t home orin c lass for a further 5-10 hours.

Target audience

Business Start-up is specially designed to cater forbeginners and fa lse beginners who want to learn Engt ishfor both business and socia l reasons.

Level

Business 9tart-up í covers competencies from [eve[ A1 ofthe Common Eurooean Framework of Reference forLanguages and leads into A2. Business Start-up 2 coverscompetencies from 42 and leads ínto 81.

Absolute beginners and fa lse beginners

At the beginning of each lesson, i t is essent ia l to check i fstudents already know any of the grammar and targetlanguage before ít is presented and pract ised. .Test ing

the water ' is important at beginner level . Many studentsat this leveI a lready know some Engl ish (often words andphrases remembered from school), but have not spoken thelanguage for some t ime. Therefore they need to ' f i l l in theirgaps' . You may f ind the fol lowing suggest ions helpfu[.

o l f the language is new to students, carry out the pre-teaching suggested in the Teacher 's Book notes on theunits. You wi l t need to proceed through al l the stages ofpresentat ion, pract ice and consol idat ion in the Student 'sBool<. You may wish to use the Resource sheets foradd i t iona l suppor t .

o l f the students are fa lse beginners and the [anguageis not completely new, there may be no need for pre-teach ing . You may choose to use a bra ins tormingapproach to react ivate the target [anguage quickty.The Resource sheets (particutarly those suggestedfor pre-teaching) wi l l not a lways be required. Instead,concentrate on the act iv i t ies ín the Student 's Book.Whi le the Student 's Book act iv i t ies are appropr iate forreal beginners, they are also designed to help fa lsebeginners react ivate the language quickly.

o With stronger fa lse beginners, i t may be possib leto cover the f i rst few units of the course very quicklyand to be select ive in your choice of Grammar andvocabulary practice exercises for each unít, using onlythose in which you thinl< students need further pract ice.

@ lntroduct ion

However, when deciding whether or not to omit certa inact iv i t ies with fa lse beginners, be caut ious. This ispar tícu la r l y impor tant in groups , where ind iv idua llearners may have 'gaps' in di f ferent places. Don't moveon unt i l students have demonstrated that they havegrasped the target language. React ivatíng [anguagerequires plenty of pract ice.

THE BUSI'VESS START-UP APPROACH

Bui td ing [anguage

Each lesson in Business Start-up is carefully designed toensure that students systematícal ly acquÍre al l of thenecessary language to enable them to progress effect ively.Most lessons begin with an opt ional warm-up act iv i ty, oftensuggested in the Teacher 's Book, which sets the scene andgives fa lse beginners an opportunity to show what theyalready know. New grammar and vocabulary are thenpresented in context through a l istening or reading text.Vocabulary and grammar are pract ised, both oral ly and inwrit ten exerc ises, before students have the chance topract ise the new language in a real ist ic communicat iveact iv i ty. Most lessons end with the opportunity for a freer,more persona l d i scuss ion on the top ic o f the lesson.

Vocabulary

ln Business Start-up, great attention is given to teaching thevocabulary that students need for their professional l ives,but a lso for the socia l and travel s i tuat ions that they mightf ind themselves in. Each lesson focuses on one lexical setand presents new vocabulary in real ist ic contexts. Studentsare then encouraged to work out the mean ing o f the newwords from the context, before being referred to thevocabulary pract ice exerc ises at the back of the Student 'sBook. Fur ther prac t i ce and conso lÍdatíon can be found ínthe Worl<book, on the CD-ROM/Audio CD and on theTeacher's Book Resource sheets.

At the end of each lesson there is a Usefullanguage box.This contains the key language in the form of shortsentences/phrases in context and vocabulary sets for easyreference. False beginners might f ind these boxes helpful ,when prepar ing a un i t in advance o f a lesson. The boxeswit l a lso provide support for a l l learners, when they look atthe Grammar and vocabulary practíce independently.Addit ionat ly, a l t learners wi l l f ind them useful as a summaryof the ma in language o f the lesson, and for qu ick rev i s ion ,in preparat ion for the progress tests.

Grammar

Business Start-up contains a carefully graded grammaticalsy l labus ta i lored to low-level Business Engl ish students.As with vocabulary, students encounter new grammaticalstructures in carefulty chosen contexts. Each grammaticalstructure ís then presented in a grammar box, with a l ink tothe Grammar reference at the back of the book. TheGrammar reference contains detai led explanat ions of a l[ ofthe grammar covered in the course, with examples andadvice on usage. The Grammar reference section is a useful

Page 5: Business Start-up 2 Teacher's Book

tool for students who have doubts about a oart icularstructure, or need to revise.

There are ample opportunit ies for control led practice afterlooking at the Grammar reference, both in the unit and inthe grammar practice activit ies at the back of the book.Students are then encouraged to use the new structure inspoken practice before undertaking a freer communicationactivity. These activit ies have been careful ly designed toconsol idate and practise the grammar and vocabulary ofthe lesson in the type of situation that students are l iketyto encounter in their professiona[ [ ives.

PronunciationBusiness Start-up contaíns a regular focus on pronunciationby dri lt ing new language when it is presented. There isalso a more detai led focus on problem areas, such asweak forms, intonation and word stress. Further practicecan be found in the accompanying Workbook withCD-ROM/Audio CD.

SpeakingEvery lesson in Business Start-up includes a Communicationpractice, often a rote play or information gap activity.These activit ies are designed to al low students to practiselanguage from the tesson in a freer context, while ensuringthat they focus on the target language. Throughout thelesson there are frequent opportunit ies to speak in pairsor in groups.

ListeningThe listening material in Business Start-uo is designed tomirror natural Engtish, as it is spoken today, despite theobvious constraints of level and vocabulary. Great care hasbeen taken to provide natura[, real ist ic-sounding texts tomotivate students and prepare them for the type oflanguage that they' l l hear in the real world. Both teachersand students wil[ f ind the l istening materiaI refreshing,st imulating and motivating. There is also a wide range ofaccents and national it ies featured, hightighting the posit ionof Engtish as l ingua franca in the modern business world.

At the back of the Student's Book are the transcripts ofrecordings which do not appear futly in print on the page inthe units. The Teacher's Book notes on the units sometimessuggest that students are referred to the transcripts so theycan check their answers to activit ies. With tonger dialogues,it ís also hetpfu1 to students to do the l istening exercises,but then, in conc lus ion, to l i s ten one more t ime whi lereading the transcript. By doing this, they can reassurethemselves that they have understood the dialogue as awhole and can pick out any new conversational/ idÍomaticuse of language. However, they should never look at thetranscripts before doing the l istening exercises.

ADD!TIONAL PRACTICE

Workbook with CD-ROM/Audio CDThe Workbook consists of twetve units of consol idation

act iv i t ies in a lI four ski l ls (speaking, [ istening, reading andwrit ing). Each unit contains three pages of act iv i t ies, whicha im to be l ight -hear ted and fun . They inc lude:

. crossword ouzzles

o anagramS

o word games

o a var iety of exerc ise types.

There is a key to the Workbook act iv i t ies so that studentscan work independent ly i f requ i red .

CD-ROM/Aud io CD

The Workbook l istening act iv i t ies and recordings are notl inked to the act iv i t ies in the Workbook units. They are free-s tand ing and can be l i s tened to w i thout the book (a l thoughtranscr ipts can be found at the end of the Workbook). Thismakes i t possib le to l isten to them in the car, for example.They are des igned ma in ly to improve pronunc ia t ion andin tonat ion .

The CD-ROM i s des igned to be used a longs ide the Student ' sBook and Workbook to provide addit ional pract ice of thegrammar and vocabulary featured in the course. Each of thetwelve units is d iv ided into four sect ions: Grammar,Vocabulary, Business Communication and TÍme out, andfeature drag and drop, gap f i l l , l istening and dictat ionact iv i t ies. There's a lso the opportunity for students to recordthemse lves to improve the i r p ronunc ia t ion .

HELP FOR TEACHERS

The Teacher's Book

The un i t teach ing notes prov ide deta i led gu idance for eachlesson for exper ienced and less exper ienced teachers. Theyinc[ude suggest ionS on dífferent strategies for teachingclasses of absolute and fa lse beginners. The unit notes alsocontain keys to al[ the Student 's Book exerc ises. In addit ionto the teaching notes, the Teacher 's Book includes thefo l low ing photocop iab le mater ia l :

o one multiple-choice Entry/Summary test

. four tests to assess progress after every three units

o Resource sheets for presentation and practice (one perlesson).

There is a separate l<ey for the tests in the Teacher 's Book,page 1.26.

Assessment

Al l the tests are photocopiable and can be found in theTeacher's Book.

. There is a multiple-choice Entry/Summary ÍesÍ, whichhas a dual purpose. l t can be used as an entry test withfalse beginners before they start the course, to ident i f iTthe i r l eve[ . Th is w i l l g ive an ind ica t ion to the teacher o fwhich i tems (especiat ly in the ear ly units) require lesspre-teaching and pract ice. l t wi l t a lso indicate where

Int roduct ion

Page 6: Business Start-up 2 Teacher's Book

the gaps Ín students' knowledge are. Alternatívety, withabsolute or mixed beginners it can be used at the endof the course to assess students' progress and identihTany areas which st i l l require consol idat ion.

o After every three units there is a progress test on thegrammar and vocabulary of those units.

ln addition, the Business Start-up website atWWW.cambridge.org/elt/start-up contaíns a set ofdownloadable'can-do' statement worksheets based oncompetencies from the Common European Framework ofReference for Languages. These statements are written ingraded language and are designed for students to use asa method of self-assessment. After each unit, students t lckthe th ings they can now do in Engl ish, g iv ing them a senseof achievement and al lowing them to keep track of theprogress they're making.

One-to-one lessonslf you have one-to-one lessons, you wil l need to play therole of the partner in the Communication practice. lt wi l lalso be necessary to use the cue cards on the Resourcesheets to ensure that the student has enough practicewith different identit ies or situations.

Other useful hints

Optional materialPre-teaching suggestions, optional activÍties and Reso urcesheets can be used f lexibly, according to the needs of theclass. They are optional and are there to provide extrapractice, part icularly for classes of absolute beginners.

Resource sheetsYou might f ind it useful to:

o photocopy the sheets for pair work onto card, [aminatethem, cut them up and store in envelopes in order toensure ease of use in lessons

o enlarge visuals on Resource sheets to enable youto use them for presenting vocabulary to the wholeclass. Alternatively, you could copy them onto anOHT for pro iect ion.

Grammor boxes and Grammar referencel f you have a monol ingual c lass of absolute beginners youmight f ind it appropriate to let them ask questíons ín theirown language to clarifrT the meaning and patterns.

IThís symbo[ Warns you about common diff icult ies whichspeakers of other languages may encounter with specif icpo ints of Engl ish grammar or pronunciat ion.

Cultural points

These boxes in the teaching notes give reminders aboutvarying cultural factors which may affect a specific languagelearn ing s i tuat ion.

Useful language boxesYou might f ind it useful to ask students to learn these offby heart as homework assignments.

RecyclingThere is buitt- in review of the grammar and target languageof each unit. Addit ional ly you can review/reactivate what hasbeen covered by encouraging students to brainstorm at thebeginning of lessons.

Social languageThere wil l be many opportunit ies to consol idate the sociallanguage at the end/beginning of lessons and dur ingbreaks. Encourage students to talk to each other in Engl ishduring the coffee break, for example.

Record of progress

lf you have access to a video recorder it might bemotivating to record students when they are doing theCommunÍcation practice activities. This witl also providestudents with a posit ive record of their progress throughthe course.

Students build up their vocabulary base with a gap-fillactivity based on the sentences from the recording.

24 Play the recording for students to listen andcheck their answers.

Key1 successful 2 much 3 complicated 4 lowSoften 6 dangerous

25 Students listen to Rob and make a list ofthe adjectives he uses. The listening is short, so playthe recording more than once, to give students timeto write down all the adjectives.

KeyBecause the bicycle is a very successful invention.

PRE-TEACHING

Recycle and practise the past simple of be in thecontext of days, dates and weather. Ask questions:What day was it yesterday? What was the date? etc.

Students discuss the sentence and say whether theyagree or not. This could be done in pairs first andthen as a class discussion. Ask for examples of'simple' inventions.

Students work with a partner and discuss why thebicycle was a successful invention. They should list itsadvantages/disadvantages to feed back to the class.

So. to start with, I want to talk about ... thebicycle - a very successful invention. Anyideas why? What are the main advantagesof bikes?They don't cost much.OK.They're not complicated.They're easy to use, yeah.Not too easy when you're going uphill!No, that's true. Let's say 'simple'.Running costs are low.OK, yeah. Very cheap to run.They don't often break down.Yeah. Reliable.They're safe. Well ...They're not too dangerous. OK. So, asuccessful invention, for all those reasons.And, with modern bikes, we have a goodexample of using the latest materials for adesign that's over a hundred years old.

Keycheap, simple, economical, efficient, reliable, safe

Ask: What products are/were very popular in yourcountry? What products does everybody buy/wantto buy? to introduce success/flop. Have studentsbrainstorm on very successful products and productsthat have failed.

Point to the photo of the Sinclair C5 and see ifstudents know what it is. Ask if it looks useful.

Students then read the text to find out if the C5 wasa success. With weaker groups, do this with the class.

KeyNo, the Sinclair CS was a failure.

Students then consolidate the past simple of be. Theyneed to refer to information in the text.

Key1 was 2 wasn't 3 were 4 weren't

be: past simple

Point out that there are only two positive formsof the verb be in the past (was/were) and onlytwo negative forms (wasn't/weren't).

Keytoo small, too low difficult for other drivers to seeyou, quite dangerous, water splashing from other cars,the battery was heavy, battery wasn't very powerful

TranscriptThere were lots of problen'rs with the Sinclair C5. Thebiggest problem, I think, was ... it was too small, andespecially, too low. Because it was so low, it rvas difficult forother drivers to see you. It was actually quite dangerous.And, obviously, if you're very low and it's raining, thenthere's water splashing on you fron'r cars. And then therewas the battery. It was heavy. It wasn't very powerful,every night you had to recharse it. I mean, forget it!

ff i StuOents consotidate the past simpte by compteting a* gup-fitt activity. Do the activity oral ly with students whoneed support. Students should refer back to the text,for examples, i f they are unsure of the past simpleforms.

Key1 made 2 didn't have J cost, took 4 wanted5 couldn't 6 found 7 went 8 ate, drank9 didn't use 10 watched

PRE.TEACHINGTo reactivate what students know of the regular pastsimple, write a [ ist of regular verbs from the lesson onthe board. Model the inf in i t ive and the s imple pasttense:phone Last night I phoned my boss at home.

start Yesterday I started a new job.

work Last year I worked for a company in Germany.

Then write up the past tense next to each inf init ive andask students to tel l you the pattern. El ic it that the verbends in -ed and that the -ed can be pronounced inthree different ways: phoned ldl, worked ltl andstarted ldl.

ff i tatU about a proiect you worked on last year to providea model. Say why it was interesting/boring/diff icutt.Then ask students to describe their own experiences.With some ctasses it might be better for studentsto tackle this in pairs f irst and then share theirexperiences with the whole class.

ff i So^e students might f ind it daunting to tackle a longerreading text without support, so read the text withthem and c lar i fy unknown vocabutary. Alternat ively usethe cut-up vers ion of the text on Resource sheet 4.2,to introduce the text. Then focus students 'attent ionon f inding the three main problems with the project.

Then ask students: What are youdoing tomorrowT Write tomorrow on the timeline toindicate clearly that it 's in the future. Present andpractise the present continuous in this context. Givean account of what you're doing tomorrow to providea model, e.g.: Tomorrow morning l'm having a meetingwith some clients. Then we're havÍng lunch togetherand in the afternoon l'm flnishing a report. Thenconsotidate cognit ivety by writ ing on the board:

Tourist information

PRE.TEACHINGAsk students where they went on hol iday last year.Ask them about tourist information: What places dídyou visit? DÍd you go to any tourist information offtces?Were the people there very helpful? What sort ofinformation could you get there? DÍd you have to payfor it or was it free?

Ask if any students went to the USA tast year. Ask whattown and places they visited. Get them to talk abouttheir experiences. lt would be helpful i f you could showthe p laces on a map.

W Arainstorm on what students know about SanFrancisco. Write their ideas on the board. Thenbraínstorm on Alcatraz. Do you know any fi lms ordocumentaries about Alcatraz? Who was 'The birdmanof Alcatraz'? Why was Alcatraz a good place to havea pilson? How do you get to Alcatraz from SanFrancisco? Do you think it's an interesting placeto vísit?

Students look at the photo of Alcatraz and say whatthey think of i t and i f they would l ike to vísi t i t . Readthe quest ions through with students and checkcomprehension. Ask students i f they can predict theanswers before they read the text. Students then readthe leaf let about Alcatraz and answer the ouest ions.With some classes you might choose to read the textwith students or div ide the c lass into pairs/groups andgive each pair/group a different paragraph to read.They then talk to the ctass about the paragraph theyhave read and expla in any unknown vocabulary.

Kry1 It is open to tourists all year round, exceptChristmas Day and New Year's Day. 2 lt's best tobook a week in advance. 3 A shuttle is a regular busservice which links two destinations, to transferpeople. On Alcatraz there is a shuttle because there isa short road up a hill from the dock to the prison,rvhich could be a difficult walk for some people.4 There are.SelíGuide'booklets in English, Spanish,German, French, Italian and Japanese and other guidebooks in the shop. 5 The island after dark offerssome of the best views of San Francisco's city lightsand the Golden Gate Bridge.

TranscriptInterviewer What do you think about the location of

the resort, near Berlin?Caroline Well, the reason it 's there is, simply,

because there was already a dome there.Tropical Islands Resort didn't build thedome. They bought it, for quite a lowprice. A company called Carpolifter builtthe dome as a factory, to make bigairships. But Cargolifter went out ofbusiness and had to sel l the dome. SoTropical Islands bought it and ... so theyhad very low construct ion costs.So, do you think the resort' l lbe successfulin the long term?Possibly. I think it'll probably be quitepopular in the short term ... in the firstfew months. I think a lot of people'11probably come to have a look ... they'l lwant to see what it's like. After that, itdepends what they think of it.Some people say this resort won't help tomake forecasts for other resorts becausethere was no need to build a dome. Doyou agree with that?Um .. . no. I th ink i t ' l l help a lot. Def in i te ly.The construction costs aren't difficult tocalculate. The difficult question is, whatsort of people wil lvisit the dome? I'm sureit' l l be popular with families rvith yolrngchildren, for example. So the project' l lbe good for getting information aboutthe market.Do you think someone will build anotherdome like this somervhere, one day?It's possible, yeah. Maybe there's a hugemarket for thern. I mean, it's not acompletely new idea. There's already adome like this one in /apan.

It would be useful to show students whereBrandenburg is on a map of Germany. Students f irst lydiscuss the location of the Tropical ls lands Resort inpai rs and then jo in in a c lass d iscuss ion, g iv ing the i rreasons. Write the arguments for and against thelocation on the board.

ff i StuOents read the art ic le and answer the questions.With weaker students go through the art ic le together.

Kry1 The Tropical Islands Resort is larger than twofootball stadiums and higher than the Statue ofLiberty. 2 The temperature is 25"C. There's a'sea'with water at 30"C, and a small 'rainforest'.3 The advantanges are that the sea is quite far away(250 km) and that the dome can be used in winter too,when it is cold. 4 Many of the world's big, rich citieshave cold climates and so possibly large markets for'tropical daytrips'.

f i rne introduction of the present perfect is a mílestonefor most students and needs very careful handling. Thislesson presents the tense in a very control led way andfocuses on its use to describe generaI experiences inthe past, contrasting this with the use of the simplepast to describe specif ic events.

PRE.TEACHING

Pre-teach yet/already/so far using examples ofstudents ' work and progress in lessons. Have you readUnit tZ yet? Have we finished Unit 7 yet? Have youread this article yet? Have we done this exercise yet?Have we done Unit 6 yet? Yes, we've already doneUnÍt 6.

Write up an example of each (so far, already and yet)on the board and point out the present perfect is oftenused with these words.

f f i ta tU about p lann ing and schedu les in your own job toprovide a model, e.g.: ln my job as a teacher it 's quiteeasy to plan work.

Teaching notes

ff i StuAents read the rest of the art icte, using a dict ionaryif necessary. They read to find out why Steve Fossettdoes these activit ies.

KryBecause he likes challenges I scary adventures andwould get bored if he didn't find new challenges.

ff i StuOents look at the groups of adjectives andunder l ine the odd one out in each group. They couldcompare their answers in pairs, before checking withthe whole ctass.

Key1 terrible 2 relaxing I interested a happy

ff i StuOents focus on the two forms of adjectives and- work out which form describes feel ings and which formdescribes a thing or experience. Ask them to giveexample sentences using the pairs of adjectives, e.g.:I feel very relaxed on holiday. Swimming is a veryrelaxing actÍvity.

KeyAdjectives ending in -ed describe feelings andadjectives ending in -ing describe a thing orexperience.

Read the sentences in 1-5 with the c lass. Studentsthen work with a partner and imagine they did theseth ings . They descr ibe the i r exper iences and the i rfeel ings and compare them with the partner 's. E l ic i tan example before they start:

Kqpress ads, sponsorship, TV commercials

Transcrípt

So, first, let's look at our present advcrtising stratecy.How are we promoting the brand at the monrcnt? Asyou know, we advertise in the press -. most of clur pressads are in magazines read by the eighteen to twenty-fourage group. We also use adverts on bil lboards. Weoccasionally r,rse TV commercials. And, of course, wemarket the brand with sponsorship in sports - wesponsor basketball, snowboarding and surfing.

At the moment, our spending on advertising is hiqh as apercentage of sales. The reason for that is the cost of TVcommercials. But the problem is, to make TV conrrncrcialswork, you need a lot of them. A lot morc than we have atpresent. Norv, obviously rve don't lrave the budsct íor tl-rat.So, in my opinion, TV commercials are not the rightstrategy for Sway.

But that doesn't mean w'e can't advertise on TV. We can.Tl-re way to do it more cheaply is to use productplacement. The way prodr,rct placement .,vorks is ...

as well.Why not sellbig boxes - big storase boxes, with lotsof CDs in them? Then you u.ouldn't need packaging.So that would be a new product. A storage box.

We could sell CDs with numbers orinted on them -

say from one to a hundred. Then you wouldn't nccclto vn,rite on the CD. You cor-rld make a notc of r,vhatwas on each CD number, and thcn fincl it easily. Sorve could sell, say, packs of ten.

Key1 The width oíthe track. 2 They're quite narrow.3 They're quite heavy.

Transcript

A key question, when you start to design a high-speedtrain is, ho',v wide is the track? What's the distancebetween the rails? Because the width of the track doesn'tjust give you the rvidth of the train. The height of thetrain is also l imited by the rvidth of the track. Obviously,trains harre to be stable, especially if they have to goround curves quite fast. Tall, narrow designs areunstable. So, íor better stabil ity, a wide track is better.

The trouble with standard tracks is, they're quite narrow.Fol high-speed trains, this is a problern if there are a lotof curves in the line. Now, you can limit the problem. Tohelp the train stay on the track, you make it quite heavy.. . and you put rliost of tl're weight as low as possible,belorv the floor. No.,v of course, a design that's veryheavy isn't very efficient. )ust look at the big, thick piecesof steel uscd in trains, Llm ... to get an idea of how muchrveight there is. So it 's very inefficient. And anotherproblem, of course, that you have to dealwith is ...

A lot of people have to think about safetyregulations in their jobs. But for pilots.safety is cxtremelf important, isn't it?Absolutcly. It's all about procedures, infact. Pilots lnust know exactly what to dcrin a l l s i tuat ions .Obviously you need a lot of experience.Yes . . . to eet an air l ine pi lot 's l icencc vouneed a rninimum number of hours flyingtime . Yru must have at least one thousandfivc hunclred hours. And you must be atleast turcnty-three years old. Obviously,most professionalpilots are a lot olderthan that.Sure. And do all pilots have to be able tospeak English? Is that a requirement?Yes - to fly internationally.What are the main safety procedures youhavc to follow? Are there certain thingsthat are especially important?We havc a lot of checklists. Tl-rere arethings you must always check before eachflight. \'ou mustn't take off untilyou'vecheckecl everythinc. The first thing is. youwalk around the plane, outside , and checkthat ... you knou,, nothing's broken or ...cracked.That thcrc are no cracks in thc winss!Actuaily, most planes have cracks in theirrvings! Very, very small ones. It's perfectlysafe.Right! And apparently, yolr can sti l l land ifan engine breaks down, can't you?

Set the scene by engaging in smal l ta lk with students.Ask questions such as: How are you? Did you have agood journey? Was there much trafftc today? Niceweather today. Explain that we call this 'smal[ talk'.

Start drawing up a l ist on the board of what people doand say when they welcome vis i tors to their company.In pairs, students cont inue the l ist . They can feed theirideas back to the c lass.

Do this act iv i ty with the whole c lass, to ensure a wideinput o f ideas . l f you have a mono l ingua l c lass , askthem to ta lk about any exper iences in other countr ies.Tel[ students about your own exper iences.

Be aware that welcoming vis i tors var iescons iderab ly f rom count ry to count ry . In somecountr ies i t is very formal with r i tual proffer ing ofbus iness cards , wh i le in o thers i t i s qu i te casua l .

It l hard to talk about Internet shopping without saying Amazon'. The company isn't

just one of the f i rst onl ine stores. l t 's a lso a good exampte of the advantages

of shopping onl ine: f inding and buying books on a website is faster and easier than

walk ing around a shop. And because warehouses are less expensive than shops,the company can offer lower

prices even when detivery charges are included. Customers save time and money.It doesn't get much better

than that. C lear ly, a lot of products are not as easy as books to sel l

onl ine. People l ike to try on and feel the qual i ty of

c lothes when they choose them, for exampte.They a lso l ike to [ook carefut ly atmore expensive

products. This means going to a shop. And, of course, people l ike

shopping.But for onl ine stores, these problems are not as b ig as they seem.Today, people often

look at products in shops, then p lace an order at an onl ine

store - at a d iscount. l f ' t rad i t ional 'shops help lnternet stores, the Internet a lsohetps

tradit ional shoppers. The web is a good place to f ind technical

information about a product, get a quote and compare offers. But a lot of peopleprefer not to buy more

expensive goods online - they do their research on the Internet, then go to a shop.

In television, they say never work with animals. But what about filming dinosaurs?This was the

chal lenge Tim Haines and h is cot leagues had when they made the BBCdocumentary series, Walking with Dinosaurs.fhe team needed

to solve some big problems before they could start work. The f irst was cost.Jurassic Park, the movie that gave Tim Haines his idea, cost over

$oo mittíon to make. The producerS of the movie used Very powerful , expensivecomputers to create the dinosaurs. The BBC also needed

to use computers for most of the pictures, but couldn't spend as much as a bigHottywood film company. The budget for Walking with Dinosaurs was f6 mitlion,a fraction of the cost of Jurassic Park.

The second probtem was the dinosaur 's 'wor ld ' . l t wasn't poss ib le to usecomputers to create

forests, [akes, mountains, etc. , so the team needed to f i lm at real [ocat ions.The trouble was, plants and rocks were very different

at the t ime of the dinosaurs, so i t was di f f icu l t to f ind real ist ic locat ions.It was a lso impossib le

to use computers for d inosaurs that were near the camera. They just d idn' t [ook

real . But Tim Haines wanted c lose-up pictures, so the peopte who watched theser ies could real ly

'walk with dinosaurs'. The team had to find a solution to this problem, so that allthe pictures looked as real as possible.

i TO Yves Cordier FROM Andy Bel! SUBJECT Progress reportI

I

Dear Yves.

Please f ind below a report on progress here at the new Singapore branch.

We've made good progress with the new accounts department. I 've already hired

three accountants and I 'm interviewing an accounts assistant next week. This means we'rethree weeks ahead

;;;;|; ;iil ;ilii;;;if"; il;i;;il;;;.' Ü;iil;;i;-|y'-;;; ;;i;; il;;;;i; lthe lT insta l lat ion. We've had trouble f inding lT

people, so we haven't made very good progress there. We've only found one technician so

far (we need another two), and she hasn't started work yet - she's starting next Monday.That means we're two weeks behind

schedule with lT. I've written to Daniela in Zurich to ask her if she can send us someone fromthe office there. She hasn't replied yet. l'll give her a call later today.

Our new sales rep Anna is doing very well . So far, she's been to Bangkok, Manila, Jakarta,Hong Kong, and has just gone to Seoul . She's only been here

four weeks and she's already f lown to half of the cit ies in Asia! It certainly hasn't taken herlong to make a

start. She's sent me a few text messages to say her meetings have gone well. She's seenabout 20 clients

so far. And she's also done a big presentation at the FTO trade fair in Hong Kong.

ii So, in general, I think things are going well. We can sti l l open

the off ice on schedule, i f we can solve the problem with the lT people. I ' l l send anotherprogress report next week.

Best regards,Andy

Smat l ta lk can be a l l or noth ing in internat ional bus iness. Somet imes, cu l tura ld iffe re n ces

are an interest ing topic of conversat ion. Somet imes, they're a barr ier . There 's agrowing market for

't

' c ross-cul tura l ' t ra in ing, where businesspeople are taught what to do and say(and what not to do and say) when they meet peopte from

different parts of the wortd. There's a lot to learn. There is, however, a muchsimpler solut ion. To avoid problems with smalt ta lk, you can s imply avoid smal ltatk a l together. How? Give your c l ient or col league a

lo l l ipop to suck!l f you think lol l ies are just for chi ldren, think again. Lolt ipops are popular business

gifts in the USA, Canada, and also in Japan. The idea of producing 'gourmet lollies'for adults came from Linda Harkavy. Today, her New York

based company, Linda's Lo[[ies, sells a range of 'main coLrrse', 'dessert' and 'after

dinner' lotlipops, in flavours such as red hot spices, cherry cheesecake

and cappuccino. Of course, the aim of 'company lol l ipops' isn't to stop theconversation. In fact, they're more likely to get everyone talking - businesspeoplefrom most

ii countries would be pretty surprised if they were given a lolty during a coffee breaki or presentat ion.I
