[Assistant] Yes, dad?

[User] Do you have life insurance?

[User] Mr.black has been getting a little around aside.

[Assistant] *Eyes wide, mouth open* I'm surprised. He doesn't look like a guy who'd ever cheat on his wife, does he?

[User] No, he doesn't. But his wife found out he has been too charming for a long time.Incredibly, he has many different girlfriends. Starting almost right after they married 20 years ago.

[Assistant] *Posture stiff, every movement sharp* Well, I'm really surprised. You are not doing anything behind my back, are you?

[User] No, the only thing I've ever done behind your back is zip you up, besides I told all my other girlfriends, and my wife who's getting suspicious. and we had a cold for a while, tell the narrator.

[Assistant] *Shaking head, avoiding source* Haha... You are not very funny. I guess that means --except me to tell my lover we have stoped seeing each other too.

[Assistant] What do you think we can do about this?

[User] We are not willing to miss the chance; however, our staff is not big enough now. So, to be honest, I want you to help me to finish all these programs.

[Assistant] Well, sir, I am busy in market development. So I am worried whether I can do this.

[User] They may unless we get a half-price ticket for you.

[User] You may ask if you can take a half-price ticket.

[Assistant] Yeah, I make certain. A half-price ticket cuts us one point five Yuan.

[User] Well, first they exfoliate my face, getting rid of all the dead skin. Then I get a face mask with nutrients that keep my skin healthy and young. Afterwards, they apply some moisturizer and you leave feeling like a million bucks.

[Assistant] That doesn't really sound like something I would be interested in. In any case, I just wash my face every night and use sunscreen during the day.

[Assistant] For sure! I didn’ t really understand some of the technical jargon they used in the film when they talked about social security in the US.

[User] Like what?

[Assistant] Well, they mentioned how people put away money in something called a 401K?

[User] Yeah, I know it sounds weird, but a 401k is a type of retirement plan that allows employees to save and invest for their own retirement. Through a you can authorize your employer to deduct a certain amount of money from your paycheck and invest it in the plan. Everyone tries to contribute as much as possible so that when you retire, you can rest peacefully on your nest egg.

[Assistant] That’s interesting and logical I guess. In my country, we also have to contribute to a government-run retirement fund, but most people don’t really trust it so they just invest in properties or things like that.

[User] That seems a bit unstable don’ t you think?

[Assistant] Yeah, but corrupt governments in the past have created distrust among banks and financial institutions, so now people prefer to have money hidden in a jar or a piggy bank.

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* sure, here you are.

[User] *Laughs, body relaxed* thanks, I didn't expect the dish to be so spicy. Are you ok?

[Assistant] yeah, I think the food is alright, it's not too spicy though it's a little salty for me. But you are Chinese, you should have known better.

[User] well, not every Chinese can handle spicy food in the way people from Sichuan and Cuizhou provinces can. Back where I come from, people don't eat a lot of papers and chilies.

[Assistant] Oh, I see how this food can be really hard for you. I can sympathize with that. I stayed in Sichuan for a year. The food was difficult at the beginning. Every dish was so spicy. After a while, I got u u noodle.

[User] yeah, you can increase you tolerance for spicy food, but so far, I haven't had the need or the opportunity. Every time I try spicy food, it is a total disaster for my nose and eyes.

[Assistant] I completely understand. I didn't intend on liking spicy food at first either, but when you have no other choicest, you've got to adapt.

[User] Ping-pong must be the top-ranking popular sport in China. It seems to me in every school, factory, army unit, or residential area, men and women, young and old, are swinging paddles.

[Assistant] *Arms raised in excitement* You got it! In a sense, it has become a byword for Chinese sport.

[User] What do you think might be the source of its popularity?

[Assistant] I think its critical advantage lies in its low cost. All you need is a racket, a table and a light celluloid ball. Tables are usually available in public recreation areas, like finest rooms, and outdoor playgrounds...

[User] And sometimes a substitute table can be made out of a few desks.

[Assistant] Put it there! In senior high schools, we used to play on desks in the classroom, when no vacant tables were available. Likewise, the racket may take a variety of forms, too.Anything that resembles a racket, from a plank to cardboard or even a hardcover book, may be used as a racket.

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Haha, these are very good inventions. All these speak the public's fondness for the sport

[User] Today, we have invited a special guest, Prof. Yang. He will give us some advice on the legal aspects of international business. Your international legal advice is important to our business well being. Please give us some counsels on such issues as which laws govern the contract, what recourse is available for default or breach of contract by our clients or what to do if a dispute arises.

[Assistant] The significance of understanding the nuance and distinctions of foreign customs and business practices are a continual challenge for global entrepreneurs and trader. Despite many countries accession to TO membership, trade and investment frictions are still predominant among existing membership. However, these frictions will be better managed under the TO trade rules and the organization's dispute settlement mechanism.

[Assistant] Problem and disputes occur mainly due to difference in the laws of countries involved. For this very reason, it is imperative to establish from the outset which law governs when disputes arise. The most fundamental principle of all international contracts is the applicable laws and regulations. Make sure that the arbitration clause in your business contract be all-inclusive.

However, the countries are moving forward to deepen their reforms, new changes will involve the establisher of legal structures to sustain high levels of foreign as well a domestic private investments. This will surely strengthen the law and regulations in the countries, especially, areas related to trade issues.

[Assistant] Precisely, the actions the countries have committed to take are consistent with TO agreement.

[Assistant] Do you have any other symptoms?

[Assistant] Just a little. Has your toothache gone now?

[User] Yes, for the most part. It doesn't feel as bad as my other ailments, anyway.

[Assistant] How about your tongue? Does it still hurt?

[User] No, the burn ointment seemed to take effect right away. I think it's already healed.

[Assistant] We boarded the plane on time, but then we were held up for almost an hour due to a maintenance problem.

[User] Then what? Your plane was three hours late!

[Assistant] We finally took off, but about 30 minutes later, the captain came on to the loudspeaker to warn us that there would be some bad turbulence for most of the flight.

[User] Turbulence is pretty normal, isn't it?

[Assistant] Yes, but this was the worst turbulence I'd ever experienced in my life! Everyone started getting sick. The flight attendants had to stay in their seats. The captain decided to land early.

[User] So where did you land?

[Assistant] We landed in Southampton and waited an hour for the storms to pass and then took off again.

[User] *Shoulders slump, eyes downcast* That sounds like a nightmare!

[Assistant] Yes and no. Let me see if I can clarify that. The terms are the same except that the contract for training has a clause that allows for the cancellation after the first six months.

[User] Could elaborate on that?

[Assistant] Sure. What I mean is that either side could cancel the training contract after the six months as long as it's in writing.

[User] Let me see if I have that right. This contract is for six months of training, but if it isn't cancelled, continues for another six months. Is that right?

[User] What kind of packing do you plan to use for this consignment of goods?

[Assistant] Cartons. Is that okay?

[User] I'm concerned about the possible jolting, squeezing and collision that may take place when these cases are moved about.

[Assistant] Well, what I can tell you is this. We've got an excellent record on making deliveries to our customers. Besides, all our cartons are lined with shockproof cardboards and are wrapped up with polyethylene sheets. So they're not only shockproof but also dampproof.

[User] In that case, I guess I can rest assured.

[Assistant] Well, I guess you can say that. The safety of packing is something we always pay a lot of attention to. Especially for those fragile commodities, we've got to be extra careful. Otherwise, if the things we don't want to see happened, we would be responsible and that'll cause you a lot of inconvenience, too.

[User] You're right. But wouldn't it be safer to use wooden cases?

[Assistant] We sure can if you want us to, but the charge will be much higher.

[User] It wouldn't be worth the trouble in that case, would it? Let's still use cartons.

[Assistant] Sure, no problem. As I said, cartons are good enough for goods like this. You don't have to worry about it.
