If you need to give more information about yourself or ask the supplier for more information, you need to write a letter. The contents of this letter should include: how well you know the supplier and the type of goods you are enquiring about. You need to tell the supplier what sort of company you are and how you obtain the telephone number or the e-mail address of the supplier. It is not necessary to give a lot of information about yourself when asking for brochures, catalogues or price lists. But do remember to supply your telephone number, fax number, e-mail address or the address of your company. It will be helpful if you can briefly point out any particular items you are interested in. (2)When asking for goods or services, you need to be specific and state exactly what you want. You might want to see what a material or item looks like before placing an order. Most suppliers are willing to provide samples or patterns so that you can make a selection. However, few will send a complex piece of machinery for you to look at. In that case you will be invited to visit a showroom. Nevertheless, if it is practical, ask to see an example of the article you want to buy. (3)Usually a simple “thank you” is sufficient to close an enquiry. However, you could mention that a prompt reply would be appreciated. You can also indicate further business, or other lines you would be interested in if you think they could be supplied. If a supplier thinks that you may become a regular customer, rather than someone who has placed the odd order, he would be more inclined to quote competitive terms and offer concessions. When a manufacturer, wholesaler or retailer quotes a price, he may or may not include other costs and charges such as transport, insurance, and taxes. Prices which include these extra costs are known as gross prices; those which exclude them are known as net prices. A firms quotation is not necessarily legally binding, i.e. they do not always have to sell you the goods at the price they quoted in their reply to an enquiry. However, when prices tend to fluctuate, the supplier will add a provision to their quotation stating that their prices are subject to change. If the company makes a firm offer, it means they will hold the goods for a certain time until you order, e.g. firm 14 days. Again, this is not legally binding, but suppliers generally keep to their offer to protect their reputation.Manufacturers and wholesalers sometimes allow discounts to be deducted from the netor gross price. They may allow a trade discount to sellers in similar trades; or a quantitydiscount for orders over a certain amount; or a cash discount if payment is made within acertain time, e.g. seven days, or a loyalty discount when firms have a long association.The most generally adopted mode of payment is the letter of credit which is reliable and safe, facilitating trade with unknown buyers and giving protection to both sellers and buyers. In the case of L/C payment, the opening bank offers its own credit to finance the transaction. Payment can also be made by collection through banks under the terms of Documents against Payment (D/P) or Documents against Acceptance (D/A). Payment by collection spares the expenses and the complicated procedures of using a letter of credit. However, there is obviously a risk involved, for actual payment will be made after shipping. In the case of D/P or D/A terms, the opening bank will only do the service of collecting and remitting, and will not take any liability for non-payment of the importer. D/P calls for actual payment against shipping documents. There are D/P at sight and D/P after sight. D/P at sight requires immediate payment by the importer to get hold of the shipping documents. In the case of D/P after sight, the importer is giving a certain period to make payment as 30, 45, 60, or 90 days after presentation of the documents, but he is not allowed to get hold of the documents until he pays. In the case of D/A, the importer can get hold of the shipping documents against his acceptance, which is merely a promise to pay after certain days. Therefore, D/A terms are accepted only when the financial standing of the importer is sound or when previous transactions have convinced the exporter that the importer will be good for payment.2.听写句子。10*2=20分1)We are to use plastic wrappers for each shirt, so they are ready for window display.2)Please use normal export containers unless you receive special instructions from our agents.3) The packing must be strong enough to withstand rough handling.4) As for the packing of the products, wed like to use crates.5) For this kind of product we export, each item is individually packed in plastic sheets.6)Every 24 pieces are packed in a paper carton before shipping.7)This shipping mark indicates the total number of cases, the ordinal number of package and number of the bill of lading.8)Packing charge is already included in the price.9) Actually we keep making improvements in our method of packing in order to meet the keen competition in the world market.10) Each carton is lined with waterproof paper, so the contents cant be spoiled by dampness or rain.1) We will be responsible for the charges including any customs duties on export, as well as any service charges on exporting goods.2)Im afraid itll be difficult for us to advance the time for shipment.3) Im sure that shipment will be effected according to the contract stipulation. 4) If the goods are not shipped within three weeks, we have to cancel the order. 5) Delivery would be a month from receipt of your L/C. 6)Surely you know that transshipment adds to the expenses and sometimes may delay the arrival.7)Shipping marks on the shipping packages can be classified into Shipping Marks, Indicative Marks and Warning Marks.8) Since we are in urgent need of goods, could you deliver 200 tons immediately?9)You cannot expect us to make delivery in such a short time, since it takes time to get the goods ready, make out the documents and book the shipping space.10)As far as I know, liner space for Europe is fully booked up to the end of next month.3.听力选择。10*2=20分（1）课本99页: 1-5：BACCA ( 2 ) 课本 139页 1-5：DCDBA4.对话翻译，包括汉语对话翻译成英语对话（10*1=10分）和英语对话翻译成汉语对话（10*1=10分）(一)我方打算从你公司订购茶叶。(1) A: Were thinking of placing an order for Chinese tea with you. 红茶还是绿茶？B: Which would you prefer, black or green tea?两种茶叶在我国都很受欢迎。能看看样品并品尝一下吗？ A: Both are very popular in my country.
