The transport network. Boats and planes.



1) The cheapest way to transport goods from country to country is by sea or inland waterways; ships can carry enormous cargoes (the biggest tankers take a million tons of oil, for example). But ships are slow and the total journey by sea is even longer when you remember that goods must also travel to and from the ports by road and rail. But containers make the journey quicker and easier; for European transport, many exporters send their lorries by ferry.

2) Air freight is expensive – but it is also the fastest form of international transport. Once planes were used only for light, very valuable goods, but today more and more exporters use planes for all kinds of cargoes. The reason is that although the air journey itself is expensive, the total cost (including time – and time is money! – insurance, packing and so on) can be less by plane than by sea. Freight planes are getting bigger because of this. But some cargoes like coal, wood, oil and steel will continue to travel by sea.

Banking in the future

1) Banking by the year 2015 will be very different from the way it is today. Some people have said that by then we will live in the ‘cashless society’ – that we won’t use coins or notes and that we won’t even write cheques. Some banks already have a system which may show how we will all do our shopping in the future. The bank has a computer link with one of the city’s large shops and a customer at the shop can pay with a small computer card; money is transferred automatically from the customer’s to the shop’s account. The whole thing takes only a few seconds and no money at all changes hands.

2) Many banks now offer their customers a computer service which allows them to get a statement, pay bills and transfer money from their own home. As people use computers more and more at home, it is certain that they will go to the bank much less often. But there may be problems too. With so much information on computers, there is the danger that our private financial details will fall into the wrong hands.

Complaints

1) If the seller causes a breach of contract, the buyer can make a complaint. If the seller is late in delivering the foods, the buyer can send one or more reminders and tell the seller that he will withdraw from the contract if the goods are not delivered by a certain date, the final deadline. It can be that the buyer reserved the right to cancel the order if the delivery was late. In this case, he can cancel his order without sending any reminders. If the complaint is justified, the seller has to make an adjustment, i.e. he has to offer the buyer some form of compensation.

2) It can happen that the buyer suffers a loss if the goods are delivered late – he may lose business, for example. In this case, he can claim damages from the seller; that means he can start legal proceedings for compensation. However, if the delay is caused by factors beyond the seller’s control, for example, floods, earthquakes, war etc., the seller is not liable for any of the buyer’s losses.

Leasing

1) Leasing is different to the other terms of payment. It is generally used for larger objects such as buildings, land and machinery. A lease is an agreement between the owner of the object and the person who wants to use it, which gives the leaseholder permission to use the object for a fixed period, usually several years. In return, the leaseholder pays rent to the owner, and is responsible for the object leased (he has to arrange insurance and carry out repairs, for example).

2) Leasing is a good way to earn a regular income from one’s property over a long period. The main risk here is that the leaseholder may not be able to keep up his payments. When the lease expires, the leaseholder may be able to extend it or even to buy the object at a reduced price. In case of items such as technical equipment, he may be able to return the object and take out a lease on a newer model.

Упражнение № 5. Перепишите и письменно переведите текст.

Offers

1) When a seller makes an offer or quotation, he promises to supply his goods on the terms stated in his offer. This means that if a buyer places an order on the basis of the seller’s offer, the seller must supply the goods as promised. Offers can be made orally or in writing, although oral offers are usually confirmed in writing to prevent disagreements. Offers are made in answer to an enquiry or are sent on the seller’s own initiative in the hope of interesting potential customers.

2) There are two main types of offers – firm offer and offer without engagement. In the firm offer the seller must provide the goods at the prices and terms given in his offer and may not change or withdraw his offer after it has been made. In the offer without engagement certain factors may show that the seller does not want to bind himself to the terms of the offer which means he may not be able to deliver on time. In such cases, he can include certain phrases to make it clear that he may withdraw his offer at any time.
