[User] Are the expressions of sight draft, time draft, usance draft and letter of credit adequate terms to express the different methods of payment?

[Assistant] No. These terms need to be amplified.

[User] What if the sale is made on the basis of sight draft?

[Assistant] Then the shipping documents have to be attached. That way, both parties confirm the documents that will accompany the draft and constitute evidence of shipment in compliance with the contract terms.

[User] Therefore, we must be very careful in building up clear expressions and complete understanding on both sides of trade.

[Assistant] Yes, that's very important.

[Assistant] Some customers demand that 80% of the credit amount be paid at sight, and the rest be paid after the machines are proved satisfactory on trial.

[User] I am afraid that can't be done. We have never done business on such terms.

[Assistant] But such terms are quite common in the machinery trade. Other suppliers are offering better terms. Some even allow payment 60days after sight.

[User] We ask for full payment at sight, because we guarantee 90% mechanical efficiency for all our products. You don't have the same guarantee from other suppliers. The usual percentage is around 85.

[Assistant] That's true. I'm eager to know if you could send some fitters to ensure good operation.

[User] Yes. We usually send technicians abroad to offer after-sales service to our customers.

[Assistant] If you send fitters along with the machines to ensure that all the machines run properly, and if you provide after-sales service, we agree to make the payment in full.

[Assistant] So you suppose you deserve a salary raise.

[User] I know I deserve it, but I cannot find a way to talk with boss about this.

[Assistant] I hope not! Oh, I see.

[Assistant] The batteries are worn down. I need replace them.

[User] Why are you reading the classifieds? What do you need?

[Assistant] I’m looking for a bookcase, but I don’t want to buy a new one.

[User] Are you having any luck?

[Assistant] Not really. There aren’t any used bookcases listed. But there are a few rummage sales on Saturday. I think I’ll go to them.

[User] Do you mind if I go with you?

[Assistant] Not at all. These private sales are great places to bargain. And sometimes you can find terrific things among all the junk.

[User] I learned to negotiate 9 from my mother. I thought I was pretty good at bargaining, but I had a problem the other day at Kimble’s Department Store.

[User] Actually, I need two calls, one at 7 and the other at 7 fifteen.

[Assistant] No problem. We'll give you both calls.

[User] Do you know what, let's change the second call to 7 thirty.

[Assistant] No problem. Anything else, sir?

[User] Not at the moment, thank you.

[User] You see, the bungee participants take a deep breath when they stand at the starting spot and then, like diving, their heads are over heels and they jump off into the realm of the combination of heaven and earth The wind roars at their ears and their bodies rapidly descend. They do not even have enough time to do several gymnastic movements and they are rebounded to the upper air by the cord.

[Assistant] Entrusting life to the care of a rope indeed requires infinite courage.

[User] A young French fellow recalled his first bungee experience and said, When I fastened the cord and walked to the platform, I was extremely nervous. When I looked down, I was nervous even more.If the cord had broken, I would be knocked to bake meat. However, I knew my worries were unwanted. I was afraid if I retreated others might say something about me. I had to harden my heart and impose my head downward. I only felt wind wiring at my ears. My body rapidly descended. I thought that after only seven or eight seconds I was rebounded to upper air by the cord. In fact it was 30 seconds. Maybe because of my nervousness, I only felt seven or eight seconds. When rebounding to the high altitude, I felt a sudden sense of relief. I did not feel nervous very much, but very comfortable.

[Assistant] It is hard to come by in life that you experience this kind of comfortable!

[Assistant] Could you commend me some moisturizers?

[User] Your T-zone gets oily easily, but your cheeks are dry in winter. Am I right?

[Assistant] Yes, that's right.

[User] This "Cheese of Olives" is our bestseller for combination skin. You can try it on your hand.

[Assistant] Oh, very good. I will buy this one.

[User] *Jaw tightens, pacing* Stephanie! Did you just get to school? But you were up and about when I left the dorm this morning! That was about an hour and a half ago. This happens all the time! Why do you always take so long to get ready the morning?

[Assistant] It’s a skill. What can I say? I don’t know why, I just have a long routine.

[User] *Jaw tightens, pacing* Please explain because it makes no sense to me. How can a girl’s routine be so complicated? You get up, you shower, you get dressed, you brush your teeth, you’re out the door. Half an hour, tops.

[Assistant] *Fists clench, eyes burning* Jacob, you have the luxury of having a haircut that rarely needs styling. I don’t. I have to set aside about an hour and a half to get ready in the mornings. Every day, I wake up and head straight for the shower. Every second day, I wash my hair. If it’s a hair-washing day, I frequently need to wash my hair twice because it gets really oily. Then I usually put in a conditioner and have to rinse that out too. Because my hair is so long, I seldom manage to take a shower in under twenty minutes. Afterwards, I often put on a pot of coffee and get dressed while I wait for it to brew. I take a long time to get dressed in the morning. Every now and then I remember to choose my outfit the night before, but usually I do it in the morning. In all, getting dressed takes about half an hour, at which time my hair is now semi-dry so then I have to style my hair. From time to time I’ll put my hair up, but oftentimes I bloody it straight. And then, because of the texture of my hair, I regularly have to flat-iron it to keep it from frizzing. That’s another twenty minutes or so. After that, I have my daily makeup routine.

[User] True, I hardly ever see you without your hair done and your makeup on, even when you show up to class in sweatpants. Tell me, how long does it take you to choose that outfit in the morning?

[Assistant] Not funny.

[User] I have redecorated my bedroom. I decide to repaint the walls and change the pictures. I also bought a new pair of curtains. What do you think of it?

[Assistant] *Arms raised in excitement* I think is looks great. I really like the light colors you have chosen. The pictures are nice too. Did you bought any new furniture?

[User] I bought a new mattress and some fresh bedclothes. I also bought a new dressing table and a new bedside table.

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* new furniture makes a room seem so fresh. I see that you also bought a new lamp for your bedside table.

[User] do you think that I should get a new wardrobe?

[Assistant] that wardrobe looks quite big. Is it full of clothes?

[User] yes. I have so many clothes stuffed into it. Perhaps I should get rid of some of them. There are clothes in there that I never wear anymore.

[Assistant] I like to get rid of clothes that I don’ t wear rather than keeping them in a wardrobe. They take up too much space. There are several charity shops that you can give old clothes to. They will be a great place to get rid of clothes that I don’ t wear rather than keeping them in a wardrobe. They take up too much space.

[Assistant] I am worried about that Arden will display all my drawbacks in the performance review. That will be embarrassing.

[User] Just use your head. If you were definitely making some big mistakes, you would be informed.

[Assistant] I had a nightmare last night and I dreamt Arden told me that my performance fell short of his expectation. I was terrified to wake up after hearing that.

[User] That is merely a dream. Remember, there is always room for us to have further improvement. I think we did the good job in the whole period.

[Assistant] I will. Do you think we can get something really nice and cheap? I mean this is the last day.

[User] I think so. They don't sell shoddy cloth for one thing.

[Assistant] Should we ask Cindy to come along? She saw the evening gown made of silk last month that she wanted to buy very much. She didn't buy it of course. It would cost her three months’ salary.
